BURNS
LIKE 4 TORCH
UPPER STORIES OF FRA.
TERNAl HALLS DESTROYED
BY MIDNIGHT FiRE-RECON-
STRUCTION TO BE CON-
MENCED IMMEDIATELY.

Work of rebuilding the two burn.
ed upper stories Of Fraternal Hall
building on the corner of Sprague
av. and Wall st. will begin imme-
diately after the insurance Is set
tied.
Fire broke out there last night
after midnight and before it was
discovered blazing in the upper
story had gained such Roadway by
the time the department responded
to the several alarms sent in that
the Hyde block, now in course OF
remodelling, was threatened. Ten
ants of the Hyde block came down
town and packed up, ready to move
out on a moments notice.
At first only two streams OF
water was played on the fire. This
seemed only to feed 1t, and
cracking sparks flew all over the
buildings In the vicinity. The en-
tire fire department was called out
and four engines set to work, play
ing II lines of water against the
confiagration.
Every time the woodwork fell in
side the crowd turned away in hor-
ror, for firemen swarmed all over
the walls with scaling ladders,
chopping and picking the wood
work loose from the rest of the
building SO the flames might the
better be smothered. Finally all
the hose on the west side was con-
centrated toward the north of the
building to save the Hyde block.
Thousands of people lined the
streets, cheering the firemen as
they climbed about, now driven
back by the intense heat, but stick
ing to the task Of getting the noz-
zles of the hoses in through the
windows.
The origin of the fire is un-
known. 1t Is believed to have
started from a smouldering cigaret
or cigar stub.
The building was erected sever
al years ago at cost OF $55, 900,
and now is owned by S. & ]. Rosen-
haupt Co. The loss has not yet
been figured, but approaches $780,
900. The building was insured for
$27, 500.
The lower floor Is occupied by
the Spokane Table Supply Co.
with about a $4,000 stock. The
firm was damaged by water to the
extent Of $4,000. The second floor
was occupied by offices and the
burned floors by numerous lodges,
whose regalia and other property
was destroyed.

WAR Of WORDS
IN COURT

The trial of 10y Marie DeNevre
before Judge f. H. Sullivan today
resulted in a wordy battle between
Attorney Dick Nuzum, represent
ing the woman detective, and At
torney Glasgow, who was asso-
ciated with her in the prosecution
of suit against w. ]. Pagan on
behalf of Joseph Bernstein, the
painter whom Pagan kicked in the
stomach. Nuzum appears to be
trying to connect Glasgow and the
female detective to show that If
one of them was guilt yof barratry
on account of instigating a law
suit the other was.
Witnesses this morning for the
prosecution were nurses from Dea-
CONFESS Home who attended Bern
stein during his ILLNESS. They tes-
titled to Miss DeNevre going to the
hospital before Bernstein arrived
there, then later visiting him ev-
cry day. Deputy Prosecutor
Pugh, who is handling the case for
the state, endeavored to have the
nurses show that the lady detec-
tive exercised a hypnotic power
over Bernstein. The court, how
ever, would not allow answers to
questions leading up to this.
This afternoon Attorney Nuzum
is trying to gain from Glasgow an
admission that he. with the assist
ance of the woman, was instru-
mental in bringing the action, for
no other purpose than to effect a
settlement out of court for their
own profit.
Bernstein is not on hand, his
whereabouts being unknown. He
fed as soon as settlement was
effected last July. The woman Sc
cured $3.50 and the action is
brought against her by the Jewish
Benevolent society because she did
not pay the expenses of Bernstein
at the hospital, which the society
was forced to pay.

TRUCK PUNCHES HOLE
IN Street CAR

AS the result of a collision be-
tween a fire truck and a streetcar
at s o'clock last night H. c. Gillette
will be laid up several days. The
hose truck from station 3. driven
by Gillette, struck a Washington
Water Power car, throwing Gillette
to the ground. His injuries are
not serious.
The truck was going down the
Howard st. hill and the car going
east on Nora av. Neither driver
nor motorman saw the other, and
before the car could be stopped the
collision was inevitable. Chief
Myers blames no one. The total
damages are broken tongue and a
hole in the side of the streetcar.
Luckily no passenger was sitting
where the tongue crashed through.

QUINN DEFENDS SWZNDELLS

Manager Quinn, of the Indians,
who returned from Seattle this
morning, denies the story that
Swindells was removed from the
captaincy of the team at Tacoma
for trying to throw the pennant to
the Tigers. He says Swindells had
been anxious to let go of the COM
mand for a long time and declined
to act as captain at Tacoma, so
McKune was substituted.
The limitations that Swindells
displayed crooked tactics Quinn de-
nounces as exceedingly unjust to
Swindells. He admits there were
two or three on the team Swim
dells couldn't get along with very
well and there was trouble on that
account. Swindells was married
yesterday in Bellingham.

an effort is being made to create
the impression that Swindells is
responsible for the poor showing
made by the team during the past
season. One fact remains and this
is that Eddie Quinn is the active
manager of the team. If there was
any Ill feeling and general dis
organization among the players 1t
was his business to remedy 1t. 1t
is late in the season to attempt to
lay the blame onto the shoulders
of some individual membe. of the
team. Swindells has played ball In
the northwest for a number of
years and he has never been
charged with crookedness before
and his friends will be 10th to be.
lieve that he Is guilty of conduct
unbecoming gentleman and a
sport.
1t is more than likely that his
hands have been tied throughout
the season in way that has pre-
vented him from enforcing dlsci-
pline and otherwise compelling the
players to give something In the
shape of base bail In exchange for
their meal tickets.
It has been many years since
Spokane had pennant winning
Dall team and 1t is high time that
the patrons of the game in this
city demand and insist on the own
ers Of the team securing bunch OF
ball players who will truly repre-
sent this city. II Quinn cannot de-
liver the goods someone else
should be secured that can. His
first attempt was rather saddening.
