BIZ Associated Press.

CHICAGO, May 27.-One man was
probably fatally injured, two others
were seriously hurt and many families
were driven to the street by fire
which early today destroyed the $780,
900 plant of the Standard Sash and
Door company at 5S19-5s21 Center av-
enue.
Two men, who gave their names as
Victor Altman and Joseph Brown,
were arrested near the scene on sus-
picion of having set fire to the build
ing.
The fire started with a terrific ex-
plosion in the basement of the fac
tory. Immense piles of lumber which
surrounded the burning building were
soon enveloped in flames, which
threatened to spread to number of
adjoining cottages. Several explosions
of lesser force occurred at frequent in
tervals and rendered the work of the
firemen extremely hazardous. 1t Is
believed these later explosions were
caused by large quantities of paint
stored in the building. After the fire
had been in progress about two hours,
the front and rear walls collapsed.
Charles Tietz, a pipeman. was struck
by falling bricks and seriously injured.

WAS WOUNDED
BY THE MOROS
Philippine Governor Going to
New Y0rk-Cut Up
by Bolos.

Governor Allen Gard of Lanao, Phil
ippine Islands, who was badly wound
ed by the Moros last February, being
slashed by bolos welded by hostiles,
is a patient in the Sheridan s hospital
on his way to the mainland for treat
ment of his wounds. He has been
lowering between life and death for
several months, and the doctors de-
cided that the only chance he had was
to get to New York, where special
treatment not possible in Manila could
be given him.
Their Governor being helpless and his
condition such that his transfer to the
mainland was matter of life and
death, the Moro Government appropri-
ated 5000 pesos to defray his expenses.
He is receiving every possible care and
attention aboard the big troopship and
feels that his trip thus far has been
a benefit to him.
