Twenty Firemen Cauht in Falling
Walls of Big Building.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Jan. 2S,-Buried
under tons of the ice coated debris of
the eight story Seneca buildinf on
Seneca street, which was destroyed by
fire here today, three firemen are
probably dead or so badly injured that
they will die before aid can reach
them About twenty firemen includ-
ing the three missing men, were on
the roof of the Haywood building, ai-
Joining the Seneca, fighting against
the spread of the flames when two
thick brick walls Of the Seneca build
ing collapsed. Tons of debris crashed
down on the roof of the Haywood
building, going through the roof and
carrying floor after floor to the base
ment. Not one of the twenty men es-
capped injury, but half of them were
able to fight their way out and to give
aid to their less fortunate companions.
Rescuers worked all this afternoon, but
no trace Of the missing men could be
found. AS the light fell, electric wires
were strung into the ruins and tonight
the work of rescue was kept up.

SCANDAL IN LONDON.

LONDON. Jan. 28.-~It now seems
doubtful whether the mystery sur
rounding the killing Of William Whit

viii ever be unraveled According u
the latest developments 1t IL thought
possible that there Is some truth In
the assertion Of Horace George Ray
ner. who shot Whitley, that Whiteley
was his parent. Rayner's father has
come forward with a statement In
which he declares the murderer had
no right to any other name than that
Of his mother, a spinster named Emily
Turner. now dead. II appears that
some thirty years ago Whiteley and
the elder Rayner paid attention the
two sisters Emily and Louise Turner.
Two children are alleged to have been
born to Emily. who, however, subse-
quently confessed TO Rayner that he
was not the father of the first child
and on account Of this he repudiated
being the father OF the second, though
he accepted the responsibility Of par
entage regarding this particular child.
II was this alleged son who shot
Whiteley.

Joint Postal Commission Desires Touch
of PaternaI Government TO Correct
Loss on Carriage Of Second
Glass Mail Matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The bill
of the Joint Postal Commission, just
completed, if enacted into law, would
create a press censorship in the hands
of government employees to determine
what information the reading public
wants, and extend paternalistic
guardianship over the counting-room
by limiting the amount of advertis-
ing and specifying just how 1t shall
be printed in the pages of daily pa
pers.
The Joint commission started work
on the hypothesis that second-class
mail matter is carried at loss to
the government and does not pay its
proportionate share in revenue. One
of the main results of its pondering
is the discovery that the newspaper,
especially the Sunday edition, has ex-
panded too much in the direction OF
the magazine The members of the
commission avow that the miscellan-
eous matter contained in Sunday is
sue of a newspaper lacks the quality
to make it socially and educationally
valuable" They would reform every
thing by abolishing the Sunday sup
plement or else make it so innocuous
that nobody would care to read 1t.
A glance at the above provisions OF
the bill will fully convince any one Of
the radical nature of the law the COM
mission proposes. 1t would limit the
amount of advertising; it would elm
mate all legitimate advertising matter
from supplements, and 1t would pre-
vent the publication in the supple
ment of all fiction, Of all matter Of
