OF A

Results in the Death Of Thir-
| teen Persons.
]

Richford, VT, Oct. s.-Ths large
grain elevator owned jointly by the
Canadian Pacific and the Boston and
Maine railroad exploded, killing twelve
men and one woman and injuring an
other woman probably fatally.
The explosion blew off the entire
roof of the building, scattering tim
bers in all directions and almost in
stantly flames burst out all over the
structure Twenty-one men were en-
ployed in the building, of whom
twelve are missing and undoubtedly
persisted. ALI lived in Richford.
Mrs. John Jelifore, who was walk
ing with companion along the Cana
dian Pacific track close to the eleva-
tor, was burned to death, and an un-
known woman who was with her was
so badly burned that her life is des-
paired Of The total loss is estimated
at S400. 900. u!

Minneapolis School Board Of
fetal Indicted.
TWO DETECTIVES At WORK
General Probing Of Municipal
Affairs Planned by Bust
ness Interests.

Backed by an organization of bust
ness men who for the present refuse
to allow their identity to be known
two private detectives, one a kinsman
Of the sleuth who unearthed the mu-
ntcipal scandals in San Francisco
have been at work in Minneapolis
since last March collecting evidence
which is thought to have justified the
indictment of w. e. Hicks, secretary
Of the board of education, on four
charges involving bribery.
The indictments charge Mr.. Hicks
with procuring position on the teach
ing force for money consideration,
with accepting money for securing a
position for w. J. Burns, one of the
detectives known to Mr.. Hicks as W.
J. Baxter, and with illegalities in
awarding plumbing contracts to G. e.
Burns, the other detective.
While there was nothing in the case
SO far to indicate any set plan for
future action the presence In Mime
apolis of these two detectives con-
vinces many persons that the plan of
operations adopted in San Francisco
will be carried out in the Mill City.
The method there was first to secure
the Indictment of one party to the
transactions under suspicion and from
him to get discriminating information
concerning the others.
Hicks was arraigned In court, plead
ed not guilty to the charges and was
released on $4,000 bail.

APPEALS TO THE POWERS
Turkey Asks That Treaty of Berlin
Be Enforced.


Constantinople, Oct. 6.-The council
OF ministers held a long session to
consider the action of Bulgaria in de.
claring her independence of Turkey.
1t was decided that it was impossible
to accept any proceedings that vio-
lated existing treaties and that Tur-
key should address circular note to
the powers pointing out the necessity
of taking measures to enforce respect
for the treaty of Berlin.
Replying to the telegram sent to the
Turkish government by Prince Fer
danand, in which he said that in de-
c1aring the independence of Bulgaria
he had been compelled to respect the
voice of the nation and expressed the
hope that the friendly relations be-
tween the two countries would con-
tinue, Turkey says she has invited the
powers to confer on the situation and
as her rights are guaranteed by the
powers she will look to them for their
defense. The Yenai Gazette, the or
gan Of the grand vizier, says:
I'VE are ready to defend our rights
with all our strength AS the action
Of Bulgaria is not only directed against
us. but against all the powers. we
should ask the powers to defend their
interests and protect the provisions of
the treaty Of Berlin."

WILL NOT GO ON STUMP.
Roosevelt Will Not Tour the Country
in Support of Taft.

Washington, Oct. S.-President
Roosevelt has announced that he
would make no speeches in support of
the candidacy of William H Taft for
the presidency, as there was no neces-
sity for such action. This declaration
was made during call of Senator
Hemenway of Indiana, one of series
Of conferences at the White House.
Mr.. Hemenway asked the president re-
garding the report that he would take
the stump. The president replied that
he had received numerous requests to
do so, but he thought it was I'M
necessary and made the unequivocal
statement that he would not make any
speeches. Mr.. Hemenway declared
that both the national and state tick
cts would be elected in Indiana.

lncendiary Blaze Destroys New
York Tenement House.
DOZEN OTHERS ARE INJURED
Flames Cut Off Escape of the
Fifty Persons Occupying
Upper Floors.

New York, Oct. 5.-Ten persons
were killed, more than dozen injured
ard thirty more escaped death by the
narrowest margin in an incendiary
fire which wrecked the tenement house
at 711a Mulberry street. That de-
liberate attempt was made to destroy
the house and its occupants as well
the police and fremen do not doubt.
Three barrels stuffed with rubbish and
soaked with oil were discovered blaz-
ing fiercely in the lower hall, cutting
of the escape of the fifty or more per
sons who were sleeping on the upper
floors. Some of these died in their
beds, being overcome by smoke and
then caught by the flames. Others,
who had been aroused too late, fell
unconscious before they could reach a
window and were burned TO death
scarcely an arms length from safety.
Many were injured by jumping from
upper windows to the street or by be-
ing crushed as they fought for posi-
lions of safety on the choked fire es-
cepes. The dead are: Minechillo
Furicillo, his wife and their three
children; Francisco Polestrino, aged
eighteen, musician Mrs. Rosa Schet-
tino and her seven-year-old daughter
Christina; Vita Barone and Pietro
Magliacci. a.
That so many persons were killed
and seriously injured was in part due
to the carelessness Of the tenants of
the house themselves and their disre-
gard of the rule that fire escapes must
be kept clear of distractions at all
times. When the frightened men and
women rushed from their rooms ahead
of the flames they found the wells of
the fire escape platforms covered with
boards, which could not be quickly re-
moved. Excited mothers and fathers
with children in their arms and the
smoke pouring out of the windows be-
hind them and the cracking of the
flames in their ears became panic
stricken and tossed their children to
friends in the street. Fully a dozen
children we're tossed from the second
ard third floors and were caught. by
men standing in the street. The 11aen
and women were later carried down
by firemen on ladders.

Killed.

Philadelphia, Oct. THE killing at
Red Gables, his country home near
here. Of Captain J.. Clayton Erb. trust
ed lieutenant and confidential man OF
Israel w. Durham, former leader OF
the local Republican organization,
caused a sensation in this city. Cap
tain Erb was shot dead by his sister
in-law, Mrs. Katherine Beisel, during
a quarrel over domestic affairs. He
was extremely well known In all walks
of life in this city and had many
friends throughout the state.
Captain Erb and his wife had had
considerable domestic trouble of late,
their differences becoming SO serious
that they finally reached the Delaware
county courts. Each accused the
other Of unbecoming conduct and 1t
was expected that divorce proceedings
would ultimately be instituted by one
or the other.
According to Mrs. Beisel she heard
an exchange of angry words on the
second floor and on going up the stairs
found Erb beating his wife. Whether
Mrs. Beisel had the revolver with her
at the time or ran into her bedroom
and got it was not disclosed. Accord
Ing to her story, as related to the off,
Gals on the case, Erb turned from his
wife and started to attack her and,
fearing for her life, she pointed the
revolver at him and fired. She emp.
tied every bullet in the chambers into
Erb's body and he staggered and fell
in his tracks.

RIVALS MEET AT BANQUET
Taft and Bryan Guests of Chicago
He Association.

Chicago. Oct. S.-W. J. Bryan and
w. Ell. Taft, rival candidates for the
presidency of the United States, met
at the fourth annual banquet Of the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
The meeting is said to have been the
first Of it's kind since the Lincoln and
Douglas campaign preceding the Civil
war.
After handshake and the exchange
of pleasantries both candidates made
speeches, Mr.. Bryan speaking first.
He discussed regulation of corpora
items, but in advocating his ideas he
did so with the wariness of one whe
knew he was addressing an audience
made up of the directors of corpora
tions. ~.
Mr.. Taft's theory of the most Inn
portant question before the public is
that tho courts must do equal and
exact Justice to rich and poor alike.
1t was one of the striking features
OF the unusual occurrence Of the meet
ing OF Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Bryan that
either could have made the speech Of
the other without offending the most
partisan follower . "
