New York, May 14.-Thirty >hremen
were overcome by smoke, one Is re-
ported killed and another Is missing as
a result of a stubborn fire today in the
sub-cellar and basement Of the five-
story building in Broadway, occupied
in part by the statesmen and officers OF
the Remington Typewriter Company
The blaze was confined at first to
quantity Of material stored in the eel
lar, the burning of which filed the
store room with suffocating smoke.
With no window to al twhole htaodri
smoke, the firemen were unable to
withstand the fumes. One after an-
sother they were brought out uncon-
scious by their comrades. tempo
rary hospital ward was established In
the offices in Worth street. near the
scene OF the fire. and many firemen
were removed there. About a hundred
young women who were employed IN
the offices Of the Remington company,
and who fled to the street when the fire
started, volunteered as nurses. AS fast
as they became able, the men returned
to the building and helped their com
rades bring out others who had been
overcome.

co-operative EleW Men Worried
Over StiIlman Bill.

Cooperative EleW Men Worried
Over StiIlman Bill.
Spencer May IA recent act OF
the legislature, popularity known as the
Stllman bill, Is causing CONSERVATION
among the cooperative elevator COM
panies Of northern Iowa. Upon the
advice of solicitors for certain Chi
cago commission firms, these co-opera-
tive companies have been incorporating
in their bylaws a rule that any stock
holder selling grain to a competitor
must pay in to the treasurer Of the
company cent per bushel for all grain
so sold.
Competent attorneys to whom these
bylaws have been submitted, have
not only decided they are against pub
lie policy and unerforcible, hut that
they are in restraint of free competi-
ton and that under the new law all
parties interested In or permitting their
enforcement will be subject to min
imum fine of $500. A further provision
makes the personal property OF all
concerned liable to execution for any
Judgment that may be obtained by a
competitor damaged by the enforce
ment of the rule.
This law takes effect'July 4, and 1t is
understood that established dealers
who have been made to feel the ef-
fects Of the so-called penalty clause,
have already retained attorneys ana
will begin suits as soon as the new
law is in force.

EXAMINATION FOR DEFENSE.
Twelve Mon Now in Jury Boz for the
Haywood Trial.

1dyWoo0 FlNls \ te5ee
Boise, Idaho, May 14.I-WitlL twelve
men in the jury box, four OF whom had
been passed without challenge for
cause by both sides. the examination
of talesmen for duty on the Haywood
jury was resumed today. Clarence s.
Darrow, of Chicago, took up the ex-.
animation for the defense today.
The fifth talesman was Allan Pride,
a young farmer who was passed
shortly after II, when the court rose
for the noon recess. An effort to fill
the sixth chair was in progress, and
the defense must still examine the en-
tire six before pereTptory challeng-
ing can commence. Darrow gave a
tone of solemnity to the conclusion of
his examination of Pride. Advancing
to a point where he Immediately faced
the talesman, he leaned forward and
in an impressive voice asked him II
he were on trial for his life If he
would be prepared to be tried by
twelve mem in his frame OF mind.
Pride first said he "hated to contem-
plate such thing" then that the de-
fendant "coulI do worse" in jurors.
Pride said he didn't want to serve
on the jury, but would do his duty
fairly. ]. L. Waggoner, a member Of
the original panel who figured as COM
plainant in the Yost case, was claal-
lenged by the defense on the general
ground that his experience m that case
untitled him for service in this case.
Two talesmen from a special venire,
developed irremovable prejudice
against the circumstantial evidence,
and went down before the challenges
from the state

Senator Foraker Declared 70 90 on
Warpath to Save Political Life.
yChicago, May 14.-The Inter Oceans 3
Washington special says:
Harmony in Ohio has been
smashed to flinders, and Senator For
aker is out on the warpath.
In redhot statement Fighting
Joe' repudiates the compromise state
ment issued by George B. Cox Of Gin
cinnati and serves notice on the Taft
cohorts that If they want a fight ne
will give them all the fight they want.
The Ohio senator was aroused by
the statements given out by Theodore
e. Burton of Cleveland aud other Taft
that the only candidate who
would be indorsed by the meeting OF
state leaders would be Secretary TAFT
and the fight ON Foraker would con-
tinue. When the Cox statement was is
sued Foraker acquiesced in It, he says,
for the sake Of party harmony NOT
because he was included in the plan Of
compromise. But If the Taft men want
war, ihe will give 1t to them and abide
by the result of the primaries which he
will demand as soon as the November
elections are out of the way
Whatever the harmony conference
Wednesday decided, Senator Foraker
announe<1 he will not be bound by it
and the action of Taft's hackers, he
has restored the OHIO situa-
,tion where it was before Boss Cox is
sued his famous statement.
Official duties win keep Mr.. Foraker
xJ.,r he
would not attend the Columbus love-
feast, he says, If he could, as he con-
siders such meeting has authority to
bind no one. The state convention, he
holds, is the only one authorized by
that body that can take amy action on
the candidacy Of himself or Secretary
Taft, and to it he proposes to leave the
decision Of the issue.
Senator Foraker is fighting for his
political life.

OHIO CALL CANCELLED
Republican State Committee Will No
Hold Separate Meeting.

Columbus, May 14.-The call for the
meeting of the republican state com
mittee, which was to have been held
here tomorrow at the same time with
the state conference Of republican par
ty leaders, has been cancelled. The
decision to rescind the call was reached
by Chairman Brown at noon today, al
ter q series Of conferences with promi-
nent republicans, chief among whom
were Governors Harris and Arthur l.
Vorys, manager Of the Taft campaign.
The opinion of Brown was that mas
much as the committee meeting had
been requested by Senator Dick, as an
adjunct to the general conference, and
as the larger meeting had been can
celled by the parties who had advo-
Gated it. there was nofespecial need for
the state central committee to meet
alone.

the statement that 1t was the most de-

messed.
y DR.. Ware Of Cincinnati, who was the
first physician to reach the scene. ar
rived last night and told a graphic.
story of the terrible scenes that he
Witnessed. The most pathetic incident
was the death of bride and groom at
almost the same instant, each believing
that the other still lived. L, N. Ellen
bogen and his bride were members, CT
the excursion party and were thrown
from the coach on opposite sides of the
track as 1t reeled over on the ground.
Both We're mortality injured, but re-
tanned consciousness and exhibited re-
rnarkable bravery. The wife's first
thought was for her husband and the
husbands first Thought was for his
wife
'"Tell my wife that am all right"
murmured EFlenIbogen to the physi-
cian "Give her my love and let me
know how she is.''s
Mrs. Ellenbogen in return sent a
message of love to her husband, with
the assurance that she was all right.
Before the physician c\uqd carry an
other message both had passed away

driftwood for pillows and cut up the
sheets on the train for bandages.
