dashery. The fire did not extend be-
yond the eastern end Of the building
facing on Don Gaspar avenue and in
reality was confined entirely to the
southeastern corner. All of the loss
es sustained here are covered by in.
surance.
Edward Ehle's stock Of suitings,
oyercoats, and other articles includ-
ed in mems haberdashery together
with the store fixtures were valued
BY him at over $4,000. His stock is al
most total loss as the goods not ac-
tually burned are damaged to a more
or less extent by smoke and water
The shelving at the north end of the
store where the fire ate its way up
the wall Is charred and will have to
be replaced. The fixtures in the
southern part of the store were not
damaged by fire. Mr.. Ehle carried
insurance on his stock and fixtures
amounting to $4,000.
Judge Laughlin's loss which is en-
tirely covered by insurance is rough
ly estimated at between $4,000 and
$4,000 the structure being insured for
$4,000. The almost fire proof nature
Of the building coupled with the good
work Of the firemen served TO prevent
a greater loss. The building Is sub
divided into compartments with thick
fire walls of stone and brick between
and the store rooms have metal cell
ings. Mosaic tiling forms the floor in
the bank rotunda, the only wooden
noors being in the various depart
ments of the bank. One of the big
plate glass windows in front OF the
bank was cracked by the heat The
joists under the directors Office and
the floor itself there were so badly
burned that they are almost in a state
of collapse. The banks actual property
loss is nominal, and probably not
more than $780, The handsome fur
niture in the directors Office was
charred, some of the pieces beyond re-
demption. A large mahogany table
was destroyed.

A stubborn fire Of mysterious origin
which broke out about $50 o'clock
last evening for time threatened the
destruction of the Laughlin block, one
Of the finest business houses in San
ia Fe, situated at the corner of Don
Gaspar avenue and San Francisco
street. AS it was, the damage to the
building and its contents is roughly
estimated at between $4,000 and
s6,000 The loss is covered by insur-
ance.
How the fire started is matter of
conjecture and the exact place in
which 1t originated is not known pos
itively. The firemen were handicap
ped in fighting the flames owing to
the difficulty in locating the blaze be-
cause of the dense smoke that poured
out fron' the basement and forced its
way into the upper floors. When the
fire was finally discovered 1t was

continued in charge of the defense.
Charles Johnson, cageman at the Vim.
dicator mine in 1903 was the first wit

sion which killed Mccormack and
Beck, his description tallying with
Orchards narration. The cross-ex.

in which the witness was summoned.

A. j. Naylor, of Victor, Colorado,

Gator mine after the explosion and
finding the bodies. He identified the

gates being in attendance from great
many Of the different countries OF
the globe as well as from all parts
of the United States. The heads OF
tAe departments at Washington, chiefs
of the different bureaus in the nation
al capital, and many Senators and
Congressman are among the dele.
gates at these annual gatherings,
which have risen from national to
international scope. We expect from
$500 to 1900 delegates at the meet
ing to be held in Albuquerque.
In connection with the forthcom-
ing irrigation congress there will be
exhibits of fruit, vegetables and
grain from the various irrigated dis.
tricts of the world, which will make
1t one of the most unique as well as
important events of its kind ever
held. New Mexico will be largely
represented in this display.
Albuquerque will have conven-
tion hall built that will have a seat
ing capacity Of $500 in which the de-
liberations of the congress will take
place. Temporary buildings will also
be erected for the exhibits and every
effort will be made to take care OF
the people who will attend. There
will be ample hotel accommodations
for all.
Meeting Means Much to Territory.
The people of the territory gener
ally realize the importance of this
congress and especially of the vast
amount of good it will do in bring.
ing here men who will be able to de-
velop the undeveloped resources and
also show to the country at large
that New Mexico Is fit for and entitled
to statehood. The congress as far
as this territory is concerned is not
a local affair but it is one OF great
interest to all the people of New
Mexico, which is being realized from
the amount Of energy and enthusiasm
displayed in it all over the territory"

lied the fire would prove stubborn
one to fight. Batiled in their efforts
TO locate the blaze owing to the dense
smoke the firemen had to content
themselves by simply flooding the
basement and wetting the wooden
joists and supports. Fully an hour
elapsed before any sign Of the flames
could be seen through the black
clouds of smoke that rolled out from
the cellar windows and as quick as a
blaze was detected a stream of water
was trained upon It,

through the walls. Fearing that the
fire would spread to his store Mr..
Yontz after placing his most valuable
jewelry in the safe moved some OF his
stock out but Mr.. Haspelnath did not
attempt to move any of his stock.
Within the short space of an hour
many of the Offices upstairs in the
building were divested of their fur

other things were piled on the side

Its furnishings folding bed. This

placed under control within a few
minutes and finally extinguished. 1t
was confined to the basement and the
first floor.
The supposition Is that the fire orig
mated either in the basement under
Ehle's Haberdashery, which is at the
southeastern corner of the building
and faces on Don Gaspar avenue or
a little further north in the cellar un-
der the United States Bank and Trust
company Whether it was from spon-
taneous combustion, defective cleo
trio wiring, or some other cause is
a mystery which may never be solved.
The fire had undoubtedly been smol-
dering for some time before it was
discovered, a theory which Is borne
out by the fact that the basement was
full of smoke when the blaze was de-
tected.
Judge N. B. Laughlin, the owner Of
the building, and A. M. Dettlebach,
the fire marshal, were among lne first
to discover the fire. The former had
lett his office just few minutes be-
fore and was on his way home and
the latter was coming down town
when they met in front of Ehle's Ha-
berdashery. Smoke issuing from the
grating under the show window at
tracted their attention, and upon look
ing down into the basement they be-
came satisfied that something was
burning. Fire Marshal Dettelbach i'm
mediately turned in an alarm, and the
fire department was quick to respond
to the call.
Considerable valuable time was lost
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1907-12-17

bank and the haberdashery. Flames
shot up along the north walls of these
two rooms, and now that the firemen
could direct their efforts intelligently
the work of putting the fire out was
soon accomplished. The greatest
damage to the building itself was done
in the rear part of the bank near the
big vault. The flames ate their way
through the floor in two places and
ignited the fixtures in their path.
When the blaze in the bank was OBJ
served hose was placed through a
small window overhead and a stream
of water played on the flames until
they were subdued.
That the building was not burned
to the ground or at least entirely gut
ted is due to the strenuous work Of
the iiremen under the leadership of
Fire Marshal Dettelbacn who riskeo
their lives grouping about in the sutro-
eating smoke and labored like Trojans.
Bystanders also assisted the flremen
although not much outside help was
needed. The smoke increased in vol
ume as the fire progressed and It
looked as if the magnificent building
was doomed, and instead Of being
subdued the flames were getting be-
yond control. Smoke penetrated to
the second floor where are located a
number of offices, and when it looked
as if the entire building would be de-
stroyed rush was made to save any
movable property. However, an In
vestigation today disclosed the fact
that the fire had not touched the up

MURDER ITALIANS
IN COLD BLOOD
f=creisners Incur Enmity Of Southern
Workmen BY Working for Lower
Wages.

New Orleans, Dec. 17.-Dispatches
from several northwest Louisiana
points where three Italians have been
killed and several wounded since Sat
urday night indicate that the trouble is
not as serious as first reported. In
stead of general fighting occurring
between the whites as was first re-
ported, today's dispatches indicate
that less than a dozen unruly negroes
have committed nearly all the as
saults. 1t may be, however, that the
whites through i'll feeling towards the
Italians for accepting lower wages,
failed to restrain the negroes.

ENTOMBED 10 DAYS
AND STILL ALIVE.
Mine Superintendent and Two Work.
men Imprisoned BY Landslide Be.
ing Fed Through Pipe.

Ely, New, Dec. 17.--Nearly one
thousand feet down in the shaft of
the Alpha mine where they have been
imprisoned for ten days a mine SUI
perintendent and two workmen seem
fated to remain several days longer.
Today it was discovered that the
ground at the point of the original
cave-in was still moving and fear Of
another land slide necessitated the
stcppage of work until 1t can be
checked.
The entombed men have been sup
piled with food and water through a
six inch pipe but should another land
