NOT IN POLITICS
Head of Spanish War Veterans Re-
pudiates Reported Effort to Swing
Organization to Support Of Ono Po-
liticaI Party.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Repudating
any efforts to use the United Spanish
War Veterans organization for polit-
ical purposes, Commander in Chief
Charles W. Newton, of that body, in a
letter received today by j. Walter Nit
chell, national historian, says the or
ganization can not afford to be mis-
represented in a matter Of such vital
Importance. The letter grows out of
a report of the organization of a
league of veterans to support on of
the party candidates. Newton says
the fact that it is generally known the
organization, in common with many
other prominent veteran organizations,
is absolutely non-partisan, should re-
flute any statement made by political
managers which is contrary to their
principles.
"Any comrades who combine to use
the organization for political purposes"
he adds, "are acting in defiance of our
laws, and subject to the severest pen
alties in our power to intlict."

Cincinnati, O.. Oct. ga panic that
was increased by the sight of a burst
ing fire hose, caused several girl en-
ployes in offices i'm the eleven-story
Neave building, corner of Fourth and
Race streets, to leap from the windows,
at least ten of them being hurt, sew
eral seriously, while one fireman was
also badly injured. The fire started at
noon today, on the sixth floor, the
flames soon bursting from the windows.
Five times the hose burst, and this
sight added to the panic of the girls
who had appeared at the windows, and
as high as the eighth floor, many Of
them could be seen preparing to leap
to the ground, when the firenen ar
rived. The corner was quickly clogged
with a crowd, so that for a time there
was difficulty in fighting the fire.
The. fire broke out in the offices of

on the fourth floor, spreading quickly
to the other offices. AS the flame and
smoke poured out Of the windows of
the fourth, fifth and sixth floors, the
girls employed in the building ap-
peared at the windows, and seemed
about to jump. A number threw their
coats out, then crawled out on the
broad window Lodges, where they lay
fat. while the flames burst thru the
windows scorching the crouching
women painfully. At least ten suffered
painful injuries in this manner, while
one fireman was seriously hurt by a

RAPs TWO CHURCHES.
Insult for Thorn to Lure Lutherans
Saws President of Enolish Synod.


la Crosse. Wis. oct. 29.-In his an
nual report fo the central conference
of the English Lutheran synod Of the
northwest, which opened here yester-
day, Rev. A. T.. Elmquist, of Minneapo-
lis, president OF the conference, criti-
czcd other denominations because OF
their alleged methods in attempting to
lure the Lutherans in Europe and Am
erica. Upon this point he said:
'It is hard to explain the action OF
Methodlsts and Baptists as concerning
Lutherans. Last year Methodists alone
appropriated S35 900 for work among
the Swedish Lutherans of the north
west and $4,000 for work among the
Swedes in the old country. Like sums
have been spent for years by the Bap-
lists and others in attempting to gain
Lutherans. How denominations claim
ing to be Christians can be guilty OF
such unChristian deeds surpasses our
comprehension. We Lutherans must
consider such action as an insult to our
civilization, education and culture.
