Kansas City, Mo-, May Fire
this afternoon destroyed the five
story building at Locust and Ninth
streets, causing property loss esti-
mated at a quarter of a million dol
lars. One life was lost, six persons
are missing, and fifteen were more
or less seriously injured. The de-
bris is still burning and cannot be
searched until tomorrow.
q The University building was built
by the Pepper estate Of Philadelphia
for. the Y. M. G. A., and the corner
stone was laid by President Grover
Cleveland during his first admins
tration. The LuiIding was of brick,
five stories high and extended 100
feet north on Locust street and half
a block west on Ninth street.
Because Of the unsafe condition Of
the building it was abandoned by the

Person Who Claims TO Know
Says Central American
States will Unite
Revolution in GuataIlaIa For
This Purpose is
Next Move
Press to Bismarck Tribune

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
/ City of Mexico, May S.-That a
revolution will break out in Guate-
mala within thirty days is the state
ment of an official who has every
point of the present embroglio we'll
in hand. General Toledo, who will
be commander of the movement, it
is stated, is now at Managua confer
ring with President Zelaya of Nicara-
qua. 49,
The signal for the advance will
come when Mexico sewers diplomatic
relations with Guatemala. General
Toledo will cross Honduras with
about 10000 men, and arms and
ammunition are already assured. At
the same time a force, which this
same authority says will probably be
led by Colonel Orla, will penetrate
Guatemala from the Mexico border
in Chipas. 1t is declared that this
movement will be the first step to-
ward a federation of General Ameri-
can republics and that the man who
will succeed Cabrera as president of
Guatemala will last in that position
for a short time, being later made
governor of the state of Guatemala
as portion of the new federation
Mexico will not go to war with
Guatemala over the extradition of
Gen. Jose Maria Lima, charged with
completely in the assassination here
of Gen. Manuel Lisandrio Barrillas,
former president of Guatemala.
This fact was officially announced by
Minister of Foreign Relations Maris-
cal today. :. ~
The decision is irrevocable. Min.
lister Marischal modifies his state
ment, however, in so far as to say
that any overt act or direct insult
by the Cabrera government would
completely change the attitude of
Mexico. He added that no such con-
tingency is expected.

Nearly forty correspondents for
press associations and newspapers
have come here to report the case.
ALI have been surprised at the SEEM
ing lack of interest manifested by
the citizens. One finds on arrival
here that discussion of the case is
confined almost entirely to new
corners. The residents of Boise seem
satisfied that equal justice will be
done and they are content to let the
matter be threshed on in court.

repeat that the lifting OF the scale
of prices in Washington is directly
traceab1e to the extremely wealthy
men who are crowding into public life
and the perfectly natural desire of
their families to live on a scale justi-
by no means reprehensible- But the
result of 1t is a very serious matter to
all of US.
This result IS that the time Is COM
ing If indeed 1t has not already ar
rived, when that great body of gov
erning ability which is to be found
among the plain people will be as COM
pletely excluded from any part OF the
conduct of the peoples Government as
hold any office within the gift OF the
nation. Yet the fact is SO well known
that It is trfte, that now, as during all
the past in this and every other coun
try. men endowed with natural gifts
of statesmanship are, as a rule, unsuc-
cessful in accommodating wealth. Even
II these natural legislators and admin
istrators were also talented as busi-
ness men. It would take their exclusive
attention for the best OF their lives to
auaass a modern fortune honestly.
And yet the golden years of these
mems lives ought to be given to the
service OF the nation. No man has
any right to spend his best energies
and highest abilities on his own af-
fairs and then round out his career
by giving the driblets and fag ends OF
his strength to his country. And SO
It Is quite clear that the Daniel Web
sters and Henry CIays and Abraham
Lincolns who are developing this very
minute among the young men who
have sprung from the soil must live
lives OF uncertain success In private ef-
fort instead OF giving their absolutely
priceless talents and consecrating theil
peculiar public gifts to making and
administering Jaws for the people from
whom they come and whom nature has
SO signally fitted them to serve.
Even Charles Sumner, who was 9
man OF considerable wealth for the
time in which he lived. could not exist

ditions which would humiliate his

greater than anc enormously out OF
proportion with the greatly increased
cost of living elsewhere throughout the
country. But Notwithstanding this, the
salaries of Congressman and Senators
remain precisely what they were forty
years ago. Most State treasurers and
State auditors get much more, and
hundreds of county officers get many
times more than the salary of a United
states Senator.
And still the latter must live amid
the most expensive surroundings and
pay for food and roof of some kind
upon the highest scale existing in this
whole continental republic.
Nor is this evil confined to washing
ton or to mere living. 1t extends to all
kinds of charities. 1t is unbelievabIy
strange that the most considerate and
kindly OF men and women interested
in charity expect as large a contribu-
tion from a poor man in public life as
from the Croesus In public life: and the
latter always sets the figure. OF course
he sets a large figure. Your wealthy
public man wishes to appear generous
to all charitable and religious appeals;
and, indeed, to be perfectly truthful,
most OF them are sincerely generous
1t ia not altogether and exclusively q
matter OF calculation with them.
So it Is the most natural thing In the
worid--and the right thing--for charit-
able and religious workers and for all
others interested In the common good,

admirable purposes, to call upon and
