tion of establishing a wool ware
house, to be owned by the asso-
cIatiOn, IN some eastern city. After
visiting several of the large eastern
cities, Chicago was selected by
the committee as the best location
for a wool warehouse.
Later this committee outlined 10

merce a proposition for the 'estab-
lishment of such a warehouse in
that city, and that ASSOCIATION has
expressed its Willingness to accede

$3.50, COO in shares, while the wool
growers of the west shall take $780,

WINS VICTORY
OVER THE RAILROADS

st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 24.-The state
won a double victory in the Supreme
Court today when the court announc-
ed its decisions in favor of the State
in both the Chicago & Great Western
and the Great Northern railway tax
cases. The court upholds soiid1y the
Incl Tease of the railroads gross earn
ings tax from three to four percent,
which the railroads attacked as un-
constitutional. The Great Northern
case nominally involved $120,Q27 for
1905 taxes. The Great Western case
involved about $4,000. The amount at
stake for the state treasury however,
is really more than $15O.0O0 a year if
the decision is sustained by tne Unit
ed States Supreme Court.

QUICK WORK OF FIREMEN
SAVES MANX I!VI
unchanged


New York, Dec. 24.-One man was
killed and two women seriously burn
ed, while many lives were saved only
by the prompt and heroic work of the
firemen and tenants in a fire that
wrecked five-story apartment house
at 122 West 127th street early today.
Daniel F'rizwell, an Englishman, VINO
lived on the Fifth floor, was burned
to death. David Mullin, fireman was
badly burned in saving the life of
Mrs. LOCKER. This was one of the
most spectacular incidents of the fire.
Mullin rushed up a ladder to the Fifth
story window from which Mrs. Look
er was about to jump, shouting en-
couragement. Although the flames
were close behind her, she waited and
was waiting out to reach Mullins
arms, when she tainted and fell back
into the blazing fire. Mullin plunged
headIong after her, and when he found
the unconscious woman, her night
clothes were ablaze. Mullin beat out
the flames with his bare hands, tore
off his coat and wrapped it about her.
With his burden he crawled to the
window and half way down the leader
to where his companions were in
waiting. Mrs. LOCKER was seriously
burned.
