THEIR HOTEL BURNED.
Delegates to Illinois Republican Con-
vention Lost Their Baggage.

Springfield, ILL.,, March 26-Fire at
noon today practically destroyed the
Leland hotel. one of the best known
hostelries in the country. Most of
the delegates attending the Republi-
can state convention had rooms at the
hotel, and nearly all Of them lost
their baggage. Most of the delegates
were at the convention at the time
the fire broke out. So far as known
no lives were lost. All of the attend
ants, it is believed, made their escape
as did those guests who were in the
building when the fire broke out.
The fire broke out at IL o'clock
in the upper floor from some unknown
cause. A heavy wind was blowing and
1t was evident within few minutes
after the flames were discovered that
the building was doomed. The flames
within Is minutes had shot through
the roof. reaching 20 feet into the air
and had burst through the windows
in the fourth and fifth floors. The
wind made 1t almost impossible to
keep a stream of water on the flames.
Most of the guests acted like mad
men being determined to save their
valuables even at the expense of their
lives. They fought with the police
men at the doors and while one Of
ficers was wrangling with a number Of
persons trying to prevent their enter
ing the building, a dozen other guests
slipped past and dashed into the
flooded lobby, darted upstairs and
made an effort to save their property
They only succeeded in getting out
a small portion of their belongings
All are believed to have gained the
street in safety. The hotel stood at
the corner of Sixth street and Capital
avenue and was five stories in height

Divorce proceedings were commenced

Joined from taking hand in her af-
fairs, selling any of his property or
trying to take possession of their two
children. The defendant and plaintiff
reside at 1176 woodward avenue, and
Mrs Woods is particularly anxious
that he be prevented from selling any
of the property, which consists of two
lots some household goods, 1 COW and
IS chickens. Today Judge Dana issued
the document restraining Mr.. Wood
from disposing Of any of the property.

IOWA FOR BRYAN.
Delegates Will Go to Denver With
IrOnclad Instructions.

Cedar Rapids Ia, March 26.-The
Democratic state convention for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the
national convention convened at 1920
o'clock. Claud r. Porter was selected
as temporary chairman and called the
convention to order. The caucuses held
at 9 o'clock developed some spirited
contests but the Bryan men were
clearly in the majority. The fight
against Charles Miller led by George
F. Rinehart of Des Moines resulted in
changing the meeting place of the next
state convention from Sioux City to
Des Moines.
The Bryan sentiment dominates the
convention and ironclad resolutions
will bind the delegates. Attempts in
a few districts to prevent instructions
were overwhelmingly defeated. The
resolutions will be patterned after the
platform of the Nebraska convention.

The production made this year by
AL. G. Field with his greater minstrel
show is one of unequal1ed charm and
beauty. Not being governed by the
cheapening hurry of today, Mr.. Field
has been building this new produc-
ton with it's manifold spectacles
slowly and carefully, with an eye to
fineneSs in each and every tint, color
and line of the minstrel offering. Mr..
Field has, as he never did before in
a production of his own, impaired
vital and harmonious color effects,
which, together with his conSummate
craftsmanship in the art of true
minStrelSy, makes this years produc-
ton the greatest and most perfect of
all minstrel shows ever sent on tour.
Especially in the spectacles are the
original dramatic transformations
shown most convincingly, in fact, Mr..
Fields conception Of the southern
darby is conjured with marvellous
pathos and humor, and which only
AL G.. Field can mix to stir his audi
ence to tears or laughter. The AL. G.
Field Greater Minstrels will appear
at the Grand, Saturday matinee and
night.

COOLEY GETS CUTHBERT.
Topeka Manager Buys the Fielder
From Springfield.

Manager Dick Cooley announced
this afternoon that he had purchased
Outfielder James Cuthbert from the
Springfield team. Cuthbert signed
with Topeka several weeks ago but
he was still claimed by Springfield
and these claims were upheld by Sec
rotary Farrell of the National asso-
citation. Cuthbert became involved
in difficulties with the Springfield
team last season and claims that his
salary is still unpaid for the entire
season. However, Cooley was in need
of a good outfielder and ended the
controversy by purchasing Cuthbert

ON SITUATION
Says Misguided individuals

Acts of Violence.

Adjutant General J. Clifford r. Eos

the strike situation for the past ten
DAYS, last night issued the following
statements regarding the recent acts
OF violence:
81 think that perhaps the several
unfortunate incidents which have oc-
Cured within the last "a hours are
such as to Justify the opinion among
the law-abiding people of this COM
munity that there are at least a few
irresponsible and misguided individ
uals who are disposed to create dis
order and to go beyond the bounds
of the law. What is required here
is a strong public sentiment for law
and order, such a sentiment as will
make IT absolutely impossible for any
peace officer either civil or military
to neglect his duty This IS absolute
" necessary irrespective of the mer-
its of the pending controversy, of
which the strike is the result.
AS previously announced, | came
here bv the order of the governor to
attempt to secure an adjustment of
the differences between the street car
cO1nDanv and its former employees,
and also TO take such measures as
might be necessary to preserve the
peace and enforce the law should the
civil authorities not be able TO cope
with any situation which might arise.
