Trouble Feared in BurIey Tobacco
District of Ohio.
Columbus, O., May 9.-Upon request
of Sheriff John Paul of Adams county,
Governor Harris ordered Troop A of
Cleveland to proceed Immediately to
Adams county in the hurley tobacco
district. Company G of the Seventh
infantry was ordered to Adams county
Wednesday but the sheriff found the
force insufficient to guard the places
where raids, by might riders are
most feared.
That the state authorities are ex.
pecting important developments in
the hurley tobacco district within the
next few days is known, but whatever
information Adjutant General Critch-
field has is being carefully guarded.
There is no intention for the pres
ent of declaring martial law in the
tobacco district. The troops will re-
main subject to the direction of the
civil authorities.

TWO BLOCKS IN RUINS
Fire at Atlanta, Ga, Causes Mil.
lion and a Half Loss.
SEVERAL HOTELS BURNED
Quests Have Sufficient Warning Of
Their Danger to Escape in Safety.
Entire Business District Threatened
for Time.


Atlanta, Ca, May 9.-Two solid
business blocks of Atlanta are in ruins
as the result of fire which threat
ened for time to carry it's destruc-
ton through the business section of
the city and perhaps wipe out the en-
tire down town district. The fire loss
may be conservatively estimated at
$1,500,O00.
The Terminal hotel, one of the larg-
est in the city, is in ruins. 1t had on
its register 200 guests when the fire
started block away. Every one es-
capped. Near by were several other
small hotels and in these also there
was nc loss of life. .--..
The fire started in the Schlessinger-
Meyer Baking company, Madison and
Nelson streets, and within few min
utes the building was in flames. Aid
ed by high wind the flames spread
rapidly and in half an hour the flames
shot across the street to the Ter
minal hotel, which acted as a sort of a
f1ue for the fire. Floor after floor of
the hotel was soon ablaze The fire.
men were fought back until they were
in the rear of the building, where lack
of water again retarded any effort to
check the fire. Within half an hour
the walls and roof of the hotel had
fallen in.
Spreading from Madison street to
Nelson street the fire ate it's way into
the Liquid Carbonic company struc-
ture, five-story building, and the In
| man block, three-story building ex.
tending from Nelson street on For
sythe street, north to Mitchell and
containing nine or ten business con
Germs. East Of the Terminal hotel on
Mitchell was the Marion hotel annex
| and Childs' hotel. The fire stopped
after running the latter hotel. Across
| the street postofice station B, the
most important sub-station in the city,
the Southern Suspender company, the
| Southern Handkerchief Manufacturing
company, the Georgia Vehicle com.
pany, the Piedmont Hat company and
! McClure's Ten Cent store all fell away
like so many cigar boxes.

TO ESCAPE BIG FINE.
Standard Oil Company Begins New
Fight in Court.


Fight in Court.
Chicago, May The Standard Oil
| company of Indiana has commenced a
new fight to escape from the payment
of the fine of $29,240,000 levied against
it by Judge Lands in the United
States district court when its attor-
neys appeared before the United
States court of appeals to argue the
appeal from the Judgment of the lower
court. The hearing consumed the
greater part of the day.
The opening argument for the COM
pany was made by John S. Miller. Mr..
Miller declared that a reversal should
be granted because, according to his
statement, the oil company did not
know that it was using illegal rates
and that each trainload of the COM
pany's product should have been taken
rs the basis of shipment instead of
zach car as charged in the Indictment
under which the company was con-
victed.
