LIBERAL HELP
COUNTED UPON
German Government Expects
All Classes to Make Common
Cause Against Socialists.

Berlin, Jan. 13.-The Associated Press
is enabled, by the courtesy of a parsonage
who is in close relation with Prime Min
lister Won Bueiow, to set forth the views
OF the government concerning the street
demonstrations OF last Friday and yes
terday which resulted in the demonstra-
ton in the Prussian landtag for the aboli-
ton of the present plutocratic system OF
suffrage and the substitution thereof OF
manhood suffrage '"The socialist dis
turbances will result in the liberals draw
ing closer to the support of the govern
ment- this official said. THE liberals
in Germany are composed largely of man
ufacturers, bankers, merchants and other
property owning interests. These inter
ests perceive that if they are to avoid
being devoured by the socialists they
must stand together for a strong gov
eminent. Prince Won Buelow's declara-
ton was no more than a simple truth
The government will consent TO no cleo
toral changes which increase the power
of the socialists to agitate against the
existing organization of the society and
all political parties, excepting the social
lists Will make common cause with it,"

DETAILS OF DISASTER.
Victims Were Attending Benefit for
ST. Johns Lutheran Sunday School.

BOyertOwn. Pa. Jan. 13.-Between
fifty and one hundred persons were
burned to death tonight i'm a fire which
completely destroyed Rhoade's Opera
house, in this place.
The opera house was crowded with
the members of ST. Johns Lutheran
Sunday school, who were attending a
benefit given for that church While
the show was in progress a tank ex-
ploded. The actors endeavored to
quiet the audience, but in their anxiety
to make themselves heard and to avoid
the awful stampede of the women and
children. the coal-oil lamps which were
used at the footlights were overturned,
setting the place on fire.
Horrible Scenes Enacted.
The flames, fed by the oil, she's al
most to the ceiling, and there was a
wild rush of the 700 persons TO escape
from the burning building. Scores Of
women and children were trampled
upon, and several who escaped being
burned to death died after being
dragged from the opera house. In
many cases, it is said, entire families
have been wiped out. The scene which
followed the explosion is indescribaole.
Scores of persons who were in the
balcony at the time the explosion C
sustained fractured limbs and skulls.
Fire Apparatus Disabled.
To add to the terrible disaster, :he
fire apparatus became disabled anu the
structure was left entirely to the mer-
cy of the flames. 1t is almost certain
not a vestige of the bodies of the I'M
fortunates who were overcome by the
smoke and persisted will ever be found
Assistance was asked from Pottsdam
but before the fire apparatus from that
city reached this place the entire cen
ter of the structure was a roaring fur
mace. Had the women and children
needed the warning of the cooler heads
in the audience, the horrible loss of
life might have been avoided, but there
was the usual panic and stampede
which invariably follows at such
catastrophe. The flames spread rapid
ly and communicated to the other parts
of the building. Men, women and chill
dren rushed for the many exits, and
the weaker sex and the children were
trampled and MANNED in the mad rush
to gain the streets.
Help Asked of Nearby Towns.
Assistance was at once asked of bOtn
Reading and POttstown. and special
rushed to the scene of the disaster.
Every home within a radius of half 4
dozen blocks of the opera house was
made a temporary hospital, where the
wounded were rushed by carriages and
other means of conveyances.
Boyertown is a borough with pop
ulation of about $500. and is located
about midway between P0ttstOwn ami
Reading.
Hundreds of persons surround TIE
burning structure. apparently uncOn-
scious of the pending danger from fall
ing walls. Many parents who had chill
dren in the house are pacing to and
fro, almost maddened by the awful
sight.
Anguish Untold.
The night was one of waiting ami
anguish. The shrieks of mothers V no
had rushed to the scene as soon as they
learned of the fire was pitiful. AS the
night wore on the crowds surrounding

AIMED TO PREVENT
HASTY MARRIAGES

Baltimore. Md, Jan. 13-Cardinal
Gibbons said today that the new laws
relating to marriage in the Catholic
church, which have recently been is
sued by the holy see. will not change
in any important particular the exist
ing laws in the church in this country
The new laws are aimed to prevent
hasty and ill-advised marriages.
The new regulations will, il is said
be announced after Easter.

Agree on One Thinq.

Both sides are disposed to minimize the
character of the demonstrations of yes
terday and each laffirms that the mani
festatons were composed in part of row.
dies who made use of this opportunity to
endeavOr to or ate mischief
Herr Won Boris, the chief commissioner
of police, says that demonstration was
carefully planned and that the police
took decisive action only when they knew
that the socialists were determined upon
unlawful public demonstrations The So
clalistS quite agree that the demonstra-
tors was prepared in advance, but they
declare that they would have passed off
in an orderly manner if the police had
not brutally charged inoffensive paraders
Detached observers regard the events
OF the last four days as embittering the
masses and as making the government
more determined than ever to keep the
franchise on limited basis Nothing
furtner Is expected to happen in the i'm
mediate future except that the socialists
seeking fresh weapon, probably will
stir up the passions of those who believe
themselves to be denied adequate repre-
sentation

The most vaiueIess opinion in the

Inerease in Water Rates.

Perhaps the most important recon-
mendation made is that there should be
an equitable increase in water rates.
The mayor says that he is of the Opin-
ion that the city is not receiving suf-
ficient revenue from this source in view
of the investment. In some cities sys-
TENS of this kind pay per cent on the
value of the plant, while the revenue
obtained by Salt Lake is "disprOpOr
tionately small" Up TO the present
time the mayor says that it has been
the evident purpose of the city au-
thOrities to conduct the waterworks
system so that it should only pay the
cost of actual maintenance. Little at
tention has been paid to the fact that
bonds in large sums have been issued.

from the water revenue.
