RIVERS OF HOT GREASE
Warehouse Containing 100000 Pounds
of Lard Destroyed by Fire.

Pittsburg, Pa, April 25.-One of the
most remarkable and Spectular fires
most remarkable and spectacular fires
in the William Zoller Packing company
plant, Spring Garden avenue, Allegheny,
opposite this city.
Early today when the fire was thought
to be under control. a large proof ware
house in which was stored 500 900 pounds
of lard suddenly burst into flames. All
efforts to extinguish the fire in this de-
partment were futile and the firemen
finally fastened the iron doors of the
building, shutting in the burning lard.
The interior of the building soon be-
came a seething furnace. Squirting from
crevices, doors and windows, streams
of hot grease ran into a sort of trench
hurriedly prepared in an endeavor to
prevent the hot fluid from spreading
over surrounding territory.
Danger was encountered at every
case the walls of the warehouse should
collapse and permit the blazing lard to
reach the adjoining property.
Shortly the fire was discovered last
night and while thousands of spectators
were gathered in the vicinity a dozen
large ammonia. tanks exploded with ter
rife force. There was a panic among
the spectators butznO one was injured.
That no loss of life attended the fire
is considered marvellous.
Fire was first discovered in the kill
ing department of the plant and is
supposed to have been caused by cross
ed electric wires. Owing to the inf1am-
mabIe nature of the grease laden wood
work this building was soon beyond
control of the firemen. e.
At 8 o'clock this morning the fire had
practically burned itself out and it was
then said that $500, 900 would be a con-
sentative estimate of the loss.

NEW INSURANCE LAWS.
Report of Committee of the American
Bar Association.

Philadelphia, April 25.-The insur-
ance law committee of the American
Bar association which has been in ses-
sion here deviSing a system of uniform
business in this country has adopted
a series of recommendations which
will be presented to the association as
embodying its ideas of what such laws
should contain.
Following is a list of the recon-
mendations, the elaboration of which
will constitute the report:
First-The appointment of state
insurance commissioners for fitness
and expert qualification for the posi-
ton rather than as a reward for po-
litical services
''Second-That all companies Great
ed outside the United States make de-
posts in at least one state. The chief
motive for this recommendation was
the action of certain German COM
panies after the San Francisco fire
which repudiated their policies.
"Third-The repeal of the retalia-
tory tax laws.
'Fourth-The repeal of the valued
policy laws.
''Fifth-The creation in each state
of the office of fire marshal. This ex-
lists at present in only about one-third
of the states.
"Sixth-The enactment of a federal
statute prohibiting the use of the mails
by wildcat insurance companies and
by any company not authorized by the
law of the state of its origin.
"Seventh-The apportionment and
contingent distribution of deferred
dividends surplus on policies now in
force, as a precedent to the right to do
business outside of the state in which
the company is created
The Aemrican Bar association will
meet in Portland. Maine, next August
to discuss the suggestions.

HIS PLAIN DUTY.

Des Moines, Ia. April 25-In a let

Orange, Iowa, Governor Cummins de-
clares President Roosevelt should
withdraw is statement that he will
not accept a nomination. The letter
was written in response to an inquiry
concerning presidential politics.
There is a great deal being said"
writes the governor, with regard to
the candidate for president, but it is
vastly more important that we succeed
in announcing a platform that will be
expressive of our purposes than it is
now to determine who the candidate
shall be. Personally, I believe that
President Roosevelt's plain duty is to
withdraw his former statement and to
say that under the demand now made
and the evident state of the public
mind he will accept another nomination
if it is rendered to him with practical
