incidence in connection with the escape
which was made the subject of an inves-
tigation was the fact that on the same
night Francis Bailey escaped series of
shots was fired on board the
steamer Goldsboro which the Baileys had
brought down from New York.
When asked for an explanation. those
on the steamer said they had been en-
joyinR themselves that night and had fired
the shots for fun.
Correspondence sent to the New Or

ed all of the evidence presented against

According to this correspondence, Francis

BATTLE WITH STUBBORN FIRE
LOCAL ENGINE COMPANIES
HAVE HARD FIGHT.
Blaze Damages Nine Structures in
Springmann Court-Member Of
Department Sustains Injury.

A stubborn fire that started in stable
in Springmann court. between Fl and I
streets southwest, about 6:1o o'clock this
morning. resulted in painful injuries to
James Rock, member of No. L. engine
company. and the complete or partial de-
struction of nine buildings. Fireman Rock
was severely burned about the left arm
and was removed TO the Emergency Hos
pital for treatment. The damage TO prop
erty will probably reach $1,000.
The structures destroyed by the fire were
three stables in Springmann court. includ-
ing one owned by Mrs. Margaret Collins,
the one in which the fire started. Several
horses had been removed from this build
ing only a few minutes earlier. Frame
structures in the rear of GIG. 62S. $50 and
tas2 Fl street were rendered useless. and
the rear ends of dwellings SO and 63l l
street were badly scorched.
Several Alarms Sounded.
The fire was discovered simultaneously
by several persons. and alarms were
turned in from three boxes at the same
time. Operators on duty at headquarters
realized the situation. and sounded an
alarm from box AS only. This brought
out several fire companies. When Battal-
ion Chief Wagner left his headquarters
and swung around the corner of Pennsyl.
vania avenue and Sth street he was able
to see the smoke. SO much Roadway had
the blaze made by that time.
4 second alarm was about to be sounded
when the fire was placed under control.
In order to get the best OF the flames.
however. the workers had 10 tear down
several frame structures in the court.
The destroyed or injured buildings were
occupied by Patrick Sullivan. John Burke.

Other Cases of Interference.

Mr.. Bryan further asserted. with all
solemnity. that his opposition to me for
national committeeman was the first in
stance of any interference on his part
in local or state politics. Il believe he
unCtuously declared, that the people of
each community know better what they
want done than any outside person can
know. Therefore, he virtuOuSly OBJ
serves, he has abstained scrupulously
from taking part in these controversies.
What. then, was he doing in Kentucky
during the last campaign for senator?
How does he. or can he, explain his OPP
position to Mr.. McGraw in West Vir-
ginia. or his begging appeals to demo-
Gratis in Indiana to defeat Mr.. Taggart?
Did he did he not try to humiliate
Roger Sullivan and drive him off the
committee? Did he or did he not write
this letter to his friend, Judge O. P.
Thompson of Illinois. July II. 1906.
:. Mr.. Sullivan's presence on the COM
mittee contradicts all that we can say
in the party's behalf. His corporate
beyond his power to aid the organiza-
ton, but this could be left to some flu
ture convention to deal with if he were
actually the choice of the democrats Of
Illinois. The fact however that he
holds his office by fraud and against the
express wishes of the majority of the
state convention makes 1t impossible for
honest democrats to associate with him
as a member Of the committee. III he
refuses to resign, and thus puts his am
bitiou or his business before the partys
success. the sooner he is elected from
the committee the better.

DENVER. July 6.--COl. j. NJ. Guffey
of pennsylvania. who was attacked Sat
urday by Mr.. Bryan in a speech at Lin
coin. yesterday issued the following
statement in reply:
I'm the course of his Fourth of July
speech to twelve Or fifteen out of the
sixty-eight delegates from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Bryan made certain explicit declara-
t1ons. He charged that, the Pennsyl-
vania delegation was taken from him
by conspiracy. against the expressed
wish of a great majority. Of the demo-
cratic voters
This statement is false. The state
convention voted down a resolution in
dorsing his candidacy by a substantial
majority, and there is no basis what
ever for Mr.. Bryans assumption that
the members of that convention did
not accurately represent the voters who
had elected them delegates. Mr.. Bryan
personally forced the issue before the
people. when in fiat contradiction of
his boosted policy of non-interference
he came to Pittsburg. pleaded his own
case before thousands in Exposition
Hall. and put his own ticket in the
field against the regular candidates.
The result of his fervid appeals was
the election of three and One-half Bryan
delegates and twenty-siX and one-half
anti-Bryan delegates to the state con-
ventiOn.

Idaho NoOIgrowers' As
sOcidtiOn Meets
in Boise
Organization Raising Funds for
the Erection Of an Immense
Warehouse in Chicago

An important meeting of the Idaho
State Woolgrowers' Association con-
yened in Boise yesterday and il was at
tended by Fred W. Gooding. Tom Good
ing, Ben Darrah and A. J. Newman Of
ShoshOne.
1t seems that the National Wool
growers Association have made a Sc
lection Of Chicago for their central
warehouse location and having ascer-
tained or estimated the cost over and
above the amount contributed By the
city of Chicago TO secure the location of
the warehouse they have spportioned
or assessed the amount each of the var
ious states will be required to furnish
to make up the full amount needed. 1t
IS now up to Idaho organization to raise
the amount assessed to the state and
make good the National Association
Probably no one doubts the expediency
or necessity of the central warehouse
scheme for promoting the best interests
of the woolgrowers of Idaho and the
entire country and II IS not al all likely
that this state viii fail to take the
necessary action in carrying out the
part assigned to II. However il Is a
matter Of congratulation that Fred W.
Gooding is the president Of the national
organization and that he is present at
this meeting.
President Gooding was made the
chairman of the committee that made
the selection Of the warehouse city and
ne was given power TO name the other
members of that committee so that the
selection was virtually in his hands,
and as matter of course the selection
of Chicago meets with the hearty ap-
proval OF the entire membership.
AS the sheep industry is one of the
pioneer and important industries of the
state. whatever affects it beneficially
benefits the whole state and should
meet the hearty approval Of the entire
citizenship
