PROFITS FOR THE GANG.
Harrisburg Capitol Graft Trial BrinGa
 Many Revelations.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 2. The
 most interesting witness before the
 commission which is Investigating charges of extravaganza in the fur nishing of the Pennsylvania state cap- ttol was Mrs. Walter r. Anthony, widow of Williamsport, Pa, who was called to tell about deal that Joseph NJ. Huston, architect of the capitol; John H. Sanderson, contractor for the furnishings. and others had attempted to make with her for serpentine mar ble from quarry left her by her hus- band, which adjoined the Jacob NJ. Shenk interests near Easton, Pa. The marble was to have been used in the capitol.
 Mrs. Anthony declared she was first approached by NJ. c. Huston, broth CT of the architect, whom she knew as a minister. Later Sanderson. Huston and representatives of firm she des. ignated as the Fisher people called on her in reference to opening the mar ble quarry.
 "They offered to allow me-" said Mrs. Anthony, "50 per cent of the pro- ceeds from a new company they de- sired to organize, but l was given to understand that 40 per cent of that amount must be divided among their friends. That would have left me only 10 per cent for the marble. SO I de- cided 1t would be better to give it away and declined to negotiate with them further. The other 50 per cent they told me, would be used for op- erating expenses at the quarry"
 Jacob Shenk on the stand testified that the same parties whom Mrs. An thony referred to had called on him to negotiate deal for the marble in his quarry. Shenk declared that they desired him to charge the state Sl5 a cubic foot for the marble instead of from S5 to Ss. the price he thought would bring him a fair profit. It had been explained to him, he declared, that the difference was to be divided among the gang"

FIFTY HURT IN CHICAGO FIRE.
Patrons of Lotus Lunch Club Caught
 by FIames-Many Burned,

by Flames-Many Burned.
 CHICAGO, May B. More than a hundred persons were penned in d burning building at 255 Wabash ave. nue here and narrowly escaped with their lives. Fully half ef these per sons were injured in the panic to es- cape, but none is expected to die.
 George Holbrook and T. 0. o'Hara had their hands and faces burned while assisting women to escape.
 The building is four story struc- ture, the first floor of which was occu. pied by the Story & Clark Piano com pany and the second floor by the Lotus Lunch club. The inside of the building was burned out, causing loss of $50. GOO.
 The fire broke out shortly before the usual rush of the lunch hour had be- gun. With one elevator shaft filled with flames, the other elevator ren. dered useless and the stairway choked with fire and smoke. the only escape left to the people who had not made their way to the street at the first alarm was through a small window at the back which opened on a fire escape leading to the alley. About eighty per sons were caught with only this chance of safety. Most of these were women, and they made a frantic rush for the window, fighting fieTcely in an effort to escape.
 Those who first stepped on the fire escape were almost immediately push- ed Off, and they fell to the alley. twen- ty feet below. Before they could rise or get out of the way others fell or jumped upon them. The women piled upon each other fin a mass. from which they were dragged as quickly as pos sible by men from neighboring stores, but every one of those who came out of the rear window was injured in some manner except the last half dog en, who were rescued by firemeu.

SUM OF MONEY FOUND
Such Is Statement at Opening Of
Eddy Case.

Concord, N. H.-At the opening OF
the famous Eddy case before the three
n asters who are to determine the men,
tai capacity of the leader of the Chris
tian Science Church. Senator VIM. L.
Chandler, who appears for the plain
tiff, asserted that a large part of the
object sought by the suit is now at
tanned.
This has been the discovering and
safeguarding of a large amount OF
money which, he said, had passed not
only out of the hands of Mrs. Eddy,
the rightful owner, but even beyond the
possession of Calvin A. Frye, her secre-
tary and footman. Mr.. Chandler did
not mention the amount of money thus
unearthed, but he is said to believe it
is at least $1,000, 900 and might be
shown to be far in excess of wen that
amount.
Whether or not Mrs. Eddy will be
compelled to come into open court to
testify or will be examined instead with
in the privacy of Pleasant View as a
mark of courtesy because of her age,
is a problem which appears to concern
every body here.

Mr.. Lieshman thought 1t was un-
likely that Urumiah would be invaded
by the Turks, for the reason that 1t Is
outside of the disputed zone. and the
Turks have been given strict orders to
confine themselves to their W side

JUNGLE JOE" is A SPRINTER
Has Marrow Escape From Mad Dog
at Danville, Ill.


Chicago.-Speaker Joe Cannon mar
rowly escaped being q victim today OF
the mad dog epidemic at Danville, H.,
his home city.
1t was a well-directed kick admins
tered at the vital moment that saved
Uncle Joe. He was standing in front
of the Plaza House when he heard
shouts of ''mad dog" and saw a great
throng in full chase of a yellow dog.
The animal was in the center of the
street and before Uncle Joe realized
his danger it had reached a point di.
rectly opposite him. Then it made a
sharpturn and ran directly toward him.
When the dog was within two feet OF
Uncle Joe his right foot suddenly shot
out and caught the animal in the ribs.
The yelping dog was lifted fully two
feet into the air and dropped dazed
into the gutter. A minute later the
dog was.killed by an inspector.
Uncle Joe did not wait to see the re-
suit of his kick. The moment he had
delivered it he turned and ran at q
speed no one in Danville ever remem'
bers him to have acquired before,
straight through the front entrance OF
the hotel and on into the cafe, where
he banged the door behind him and
looked about fearfully.
