GUESTS ESCAPE IN SAFETY
State Convention in Session
and Hotel was Crowded
at Time.

Springfield, ILL.,, March 26.-Fire
which started at noon today practic-
ally destroyed the Leland Hotel in
this city, one of the best known hos.
telries in the country. Most of the
delegates attending the Republican
state convention had rooms in the
hotel and nearly all of them lost their
baggage. Most of the delegates were
at the convention when the fire broke
out. So far as known no lives were
lost.
The fire broke out in the upper
floor from an unknown cause. A
heavy wind was blowing and it was
evident in few minutes that the
building was doomed In short
time the flames were bursting through
the windows of the fourth and fifth
floors and the wind made it almost i'm
possible to keep a stream of water on
the flames.
Many guests acted like madmen in
an effort to save their baggage even
at the expense of their lives. Dozens
of them slipped through the police
lines and entered the burning building
but succeeded in getting only small
portion of their belongings. All are
believed to have gained the street
in safety.

J. B. HARPER DIES
AT LOS ANGELES
Was Chief Engineer Of Indian IrrIga.
ton Projects--Death Due to
Heart Disease.

4 telegram was received In Santa
Fc last night bearing tidings Of the
death of John B. Harper, chief engin.
ocr of Indian irrigation projects In
New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona,
which occurred yesterday at Los An
geles, California He expired from
heart disease.
Mr.. Harper had been complaining Of
not feeling well for the past three
months or so. Thinking change Of
climate might prove beneficial early
in February during a cessation in
work on the Zuni river Indian rcsor-
vation he went to Los Angeles and
later had planned going to Honolulu
Instead Of improving as had been an
ticlpated he grew gradually worse.
He died at the home of a cousin in
Los Angeles.
The deceased was about fifty years
of age and his home was originally at
Durango, Colorado, where his aged
mother is living. His mother is prac-
ically the only surviving relative as
he was unmarried The remains will
probably be sent TO Durango for burial.
Mr.. Harper was we'll ana fayorably
known in Santa Fe, having visited
here at frequent intervals while IN
route to and from Durango, and the
news of his death was received here
with sorrow. He had been connected
with the r. S. reclamation service
for a number of years as superintend,
ent of Indian irrigation projects.
During the past six years he had de-
voted most of his time to supervising
the construction Of the big dam and
ditch project on the Zuni Indian res
ervation near Shiprock. This is an
immense undertaking and will re-
qure at least two years more to
complete it is estimated. The big
concrete dam and reservoir proper
were finished late last year when
work was stopped until spring. 1t is
estimated that tract of land en-
bracing 10000 acres will be put un-
der irrigation by this project.
James T. Newhall, who has been
employed as chief clerk under Mr..
Harper, will have charge of this
work until the successor of the de-
ceased engineer is appointed by the
Commissioner Francis r. Luepp of the
Indian office.

TARIFF REVISION URGED
Platform Calls for This Along
Lines Suggested By Pres
ident Roosevelt.

Springfield, Ill.,, March 26.--The Re-
publican state convention which is to
send four delegates and four alternates
; at large to the national convention at
Chicago, was called to order at 10
O'Clock this morning. The convention
endorsed the candidacy of Joseph G.
Cannon for the presidential nomina-
ton, upheld the administration of
Governor Charles Deneen and all the
state officers of the party and endorsed
the present United States senators
from Illinois. The administration of
President Roosevelt was also highly
praised,
Platform Favors Tariff Revision.
The platform calls for a revision of
the tariff, saying: after reaffirming
the belief in protective tariff it now
appears apparent that in order to
maintain a scientific accuracy of the
tariff, remove inequalities and prevent
injustice, some new schedules must be
added to the law, some of the present
rates must be lowered, while some
must be repealed altogether. The very
success of the present tariff demon
strates the wisdom of revising it to
conform to the improved condition
which it has produced but it must be
a Republican tariff and a protective
tariff"
1t is recommended that the tariff
should contain provisions for minimum
and maximum rates and declares for
its revision at the next Congress in
the manner suggested by the message
sent to Congress by President Roose.
