MILWAUKEE,. Sept. 21.-Houston
j. Ware swilled beer until he became
unconscious and falling upon the
street died soon after arrival at the
hospital. where a post-mortem re-

On the theory that Ware was pois-

Il surmise that the pump acct
dentally got down his trachea into
the lungs" said DR.. Wilhelm Becker.
His stomach was SO full OF beer and
other liquids that these were possibly
gorged back and flowed into the
lungs" said DR.. Kleinhaus. His
lungs were full Of the fluid, and this
caused him to drown"

argument put up by number OF resi-
dents OF Belvidere-ave. TO the streets
committee OF the council in support OF
their petition to have that avenue
paved from Gratiot-ave. 10 Chapin-st.
There was bitter fight over this paw.
ing matter and the crowd OF 80 prop
erty-owners seemed 10 be about evenly
divided.
Those who opposed paving urged
that they are unable to stand the cost
at this time and said that other streets
about there are being paved so that
there is not so much necessity for
paving Belvidere.
The proponents of the paving said
that the street is In such condition

SUNDAY CLASS
POKER STUDENTS

SPRINGFIELD. Ill. Sept. 21.-That
Thomas +. Edwards, of Kilbourn. who
taught his Sunday school class to play
poker, is sane is the decision OF the
County Court at Havana. When he
introduced a deck OF playing cards
into the Sunday school his co-workers
questioned his sanity. An inquisition
was held before Judge McComas, OF
Havana. The only additional damag-
ing evidence was that Edwards had
attempted to emulate the performance
OF professional DIRE eater after at

GAY FRENCH CAPITAL MIGHT AS

TON GOES.

PARIS. Sept. 21.-Business Is CON-
pletely at a standstill In Paris today,
as the result OF the $4,000. 1000 fire
which wiped out the telephone system
and destroyed the new five-story CEN
trail telephone building.
II was not until daylight that the
frcmen, weary with lighting flames
al day yesterday in the Faubourg St
Denis department. store and all night
ct the postofice and the Central tele-
phone building, managed to get the
ravaging confiagration under control
Even at this time 1t is impossible to
estimate the vast loss which Will re-
suit from the sweeping fires. Bust
ness Is so badly crippled that IL will
require weeks to get Ii To normal
again. Figured conservatively upon
the apparent damage done, the loss
viii reach $5.000,0O0 but indirectly the
loss will be much greater.
Paris might just as well be trans
ported to the middle ages today. so
far as long distance communication is
concerned. Added to this the burning
Of the postofiice destroyed thousands
OF letters and postal packets and has
confused the mail system SO greatly
that the authorities have issued bulle-
tins to the public stating that It will
be sometime before the system is
again In working order.
>Rumors Of lncendiarism.
The origin Of the fire Is somewhat
mysterious and numerous rumors
gained currency today while the in
ves1gation was being made by the
police and f1e bureau officials. 1t was
reported that the confiagration was OF
an .incendiary nature but later this
gave way to the newer rumor that it
had originated from short circuit.
The employees Of the Central Office are
being questioned today. but so far this
has revealed nothing.
The description Of the fire as told
by the young women employees OF the
once a most graphic. The girls were
first aroused by clouds of smoke
which surged through the building
seemingly from nowhere. The burn

great quantities In the telephone

which was almost deadly to the In
mates OF the place. Within short

floors Of the building were SO COM
pletely filed with smoke as to render
escape a perilous action. The women
found their way to the windows by
keeping close to the walls. The fire.
men raised ladders and carried down
the half fainting women while others
assembled the poofs to adjoining build
ings, carrying ladders and axes and
lines OF hose upon their errand OF
rescue.
Meantime the streets were rapidly
filling with a crowd SO vast that the
police could not control 1t. Platoon
after platoon OF police were ordered
to the scene by the project. but they
were Bwaiiowet UP I'm the vortex or
seething humanity and proved utterly
unable to handle the mighty throuS.
The spectators disregarded the or.
ders OF the police and crowded upon
the firemen, hindering them in their
work and making the fight against
the flames a much more severe task.
