From San Francisco at least four OF

The departure from San Francisco has

MYSTERIOUS MADAME RUIZ
FIGURES IN ANOTHER SUIT
Woman Whose Name Was Mentioned
In Vanderbilt Divorce Suit Is
Herself Sued for Sep
aration

NEW YORK, June 12.-The identity
of the mysterious Nine. Ruiz, whose
name was frequently mentioned in
connection with the suit of Mrs. Ellen
French Vanderbilt for divorce from
Alfred G. Vanderbilt, has just become
public through the beginning of an
other divorce suit in which Nine. Ruiz
is the defendant. The plaintiff in this
case Is Don Antonio Ruiz Olivares,
attache of the Cuban legation at
Washington, and the defendants name
is given as Sonora Dona Agnes O'Brien
de Ruiz The complaint in the suit
has not been served upon Nine. Ruiz
as the plaintiffs counsel has not yet
succeeded In ascertaining her where
abouts. There is said to be strong
likelihood that successful prosecution
of the divorce action may be followed
by a suit for alienation of affection
against a man as yet unnamed. Mr..
Bauchle said today that the divorce
action is based upon statutory ground.
"An unknown man" Is specified in
the complaint, but when the papers
are served on Nine. Ruiz the name
may appear. Miss O'Brien gave her
birthplace as Missouri and her age as
25 years.
and after a few years decided to live
apart. Since that time Nine. Ruiz has
lived at several exclusive New York
hotels and of late has had an apart
ment In Lexington avenue Her name
was brought into the Vanderbilt case
through the disclosure that shortly be-
fore he eloped with a young society
matron Harry Frenchley. former train
er for Alfred G. Vanderbilt's horses,
had purchased an $1,000 automobile
for Mme Ruiz.

THEIR CONVENTION
Pass Resolutions of Gratitude to
Grover Cleveland and Pray That
His Life Be Prolonged
Many Years

By Associated Press.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June H.
In the fervor which attended the in
struction of six delegates to the Den
yer convention for William ]. Bryan
the Democrats of the state did not for
get the last Democratic president OF
the United States.
A little while before the adjournment
this evening the convention instructed
the chairman to mail this letter to
Grover Cleveland:
1.-THE Democrats of Utah, in con-
vention assembled, remember CRATE
fully your friendship for Utah while
president. With just party pride we
point to your services for the party
and for the country. With apprehen-
sion we have learned of your recent
illness and with one accord we pray
that your life may be prolonged for
many years; that the country may be
blessed with the wisdom of your coun-
SELL"
There was some opposition to the
reference to Mr.. Cleveland's services
for the party, but the convention, af-
ter being reminded that he signed the
bill which had made Utah a state,
adopted the letter by an overwhelming
majority,
On the committee recommendation N.
T. Porter of Davis county was elected
permanent chairman. Former Con-
gressman Brigham HI. Roberts and w.
H. King made short speeches. the ad-
dress of the latter consisting largely
of an attack upon President Roosevelt.
Judge o. w. Powers also spoke.
The platform, which was promptly
adopted, is a general affirmation of
Democratic principles and concludes
with instructions to the national dele
gates to vote as unit for the nominal
ton of w. ]. Bryan and to abide by
the unit rule in other matters.
Frank X. Nebeker of Cache county
was made national committeeman.
The delegation to Denver will consist
of Abel J. Evans, Orlando w. Powers,
William H. King, S. s. Smith, Samuel

GUS Blaze

By Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, June 1.-TWO labor
ers lost their lives, two others were Sc
riously injured and a loss estimated
between a quarter of a million and
$350,000 was caused by an explosion fol-
lowed by fire In the plant of Nelson
Morris & Co. at Riverside, Kansas City
Kas., this morning. The force of the
explosion, which was felt all over lower
Kansas City, ruined the cold storage
building and the fire that followed de-
stroyed the smoke house, with con-
tents
An explosion of sewer gas resulted
when watchman In one of the cold
storage departments lighted a match.
This was followed by another and much
more serious explosion caused by the
iRniting of quantity of ammonia near
by and stubborn fire soon started.
The Morris plant is located near the
channel of the Kaw river, and being In
the center of the flood district is in wa
ter from six to eight feet deep. This
made the task Of fighting the fire most
difficult, and 1t required FIVE hours to
get the fire under control.
For a time the entire plant seemed
doomed. Water apparatus was trans
ported to the scene after much delay by
means of fiat cars. There were fifty
men in the plant when the explosions
occurred, but all except four escaped.
Two of these were instantly killed and
two others badly mangled. 1t is i'm
possible at this time to estimate the
loss on the meat destroyed, but that on
the buildings is estimated at 100000.
In Flood District
The sausage department was the first
to go. The contents of this building
furnished much infiammable material,
and when the first stream could be
turned upon the fire this section of the
plant was doomed.
The Nelson Morris plant is situated
near the river side station of fork OF
the Kaw river, just north of the stock
yards, on low lying piece of ground:
The plant was built three years ago and
was one of the most complete in the
country For three days past, or since
the worst of the present food began,
there has been no work done at the
plant and operations were practically
at a standstill Men have been kept at
work day and night trying to save the
meats and pumping water from the
basement. When the plant was COM
pleted January s, 1905, 1t was valued al
81, ,225, 900, of which the buildings repre-
sented $1,245, 900, the machinery $44S .0OO
and miscellaneous equipment $4S2,000.
The daily slaughtering capacity of the
plant was $50 cattle, 1000 sheep and 5000
hogs. The refrigerating capacity was
5000 cattle, 1000 sheep and 10000 hogs.
On January 29, 1908, fire damaged the
plant to the extent of $750,000. The loss
of meat in the present fire was enor-
nous. The coolers were packed to
their capacity, as the flood had inter-
fered with railway traffic long before
the water shut down the plant.
