his automobile and soon had them
hurrying to the fire.
The firemen were hampered by
lack Of hose as, on account of the
long stretches from the hydrants to
the blaze, they were unable to play
IN any streams on the burning build
ings in the rear. They did excellent
work on the street, however, as the
brick building and the frame build
ing are still standing, while those in
the rear were totally consumed. The
firemen also did excellent work in
saving the adjoining buildings and
preventing the fire from spreading.
There was considerable criticism
this morning, however, about the
way the flremen fought the flames
and the actions of some of them on
the scene. Even some of the fire.
men them selves had adverse opin-
ions Of the way the work was con-
Quoted at times.
Bursting Hose a Handicap.
Several lengths of Mcclellan En-
gine Company's hose burst and
there were other difficulties to be
overcome. 1t was after o'clock
this morning when the under con-
troll taps were turned in and after s
O'Clock when the "out" signal was
sounded.
Several of the f1remen had narrow
escapes from being injured, as the
way the buildings were situated
made the work perilous.
Blazed Up Today.
Shortly before 10 O'Clock this
morning part of the new dance hall
started to blaze up and some were
in favor of calling out the firemen.
William f. Hartmann, of Washing
ton Hose G Chemical Company, and
Carl Dressler. of Lincoln Engine
Company, happened to be on the
scene and with small crowd of
men formed a bucket brigade and
extinguished the blaze after consid-
cradle hard work.
Loss Estimated at $4,000.
Joseph Laskowski, the owner Of
all the burned buildings, when seen
this morning by a NEWS reporter,
said that he estimated the loss at
$4,000, although 1t will probably
exceed that amount by several thou
sand dollars. He said that he car
ried $4,000 insurance. Mrs. Kol-
tunoff said that she had $4,000 in
surance on the stock In her store.
The nine families now homeless
have hardly dollar In the world, as
not a piece Of their furniture was
saved.
Glare Visible for Miles.
The fire was spectacular one and
the flames could be seen from all
parts of the city. This. with the
numerous alarms, drew many people
to the scene In spite of the hour
Barrels of whiskey and other alco-
holic beverages stored in the rear of
the saloon and in the dance hall
were like oil in the flames and
caused the fire to spread rapidly.
Many viewed the ruins this morn
ing and several local contractors
were figuring on what it would cost
to rebuild the burned buildings. Mr..
Laskowski said that as soon as the
insurance companies settled he
would undoubtedly rebuild.
Aid for Victims.
The almost incessant ringing of
the fire alarm was an excellent test
of the system as the taps sounded
perfectly. When the Kozusko tene-
ments burned recently the Citizens
Relief Committee did excellent work
in giving them aid. These families
are In the same predicament and al
ready a movement has been started
in North Amboy to help them.

mean convention contest of many ballots.
These leaders have little doubt that in
such contingency the Roosevelt third
term sentiment would threaten a stampede.
and though they have little doubt that the
president would squelch any PROPOSE
tion looking TO his denomination. the ef-
feet of -such a stampede can only be sur
missed. The possible dire results upon the
campaign for the election of the candidate,
whoever he may be. is one of the argu-
ments used to draw the so-called allies into
the harmony program.
Fairbanks for Vice President.
Republican leaders concede that their
majority in the house is likely to be ma
terially reduced at the fan election and
they fear that unless all factions are
brought together before the Chicago con-
vention they might lose their majority
altogether. One Of the side plans being
discussed favorably is the denomination
Of Mr.. Fairbanks as vice president on the
rlcket with Secretary Taft. which, they
assert, would remove Indiana from the
doubtful column and make it safely re-
publican. 1t is believed also that with the
republican forces solidly aligned. Taft
vIould easily carry Illinois and the HARMON
izers are willing TO concede Cannon's re-
election as speaker by republican house
There is a movement on already TO bring
about the denomination Of Mr.. Hughes
as governor OF New York and an effort will
be made to bring Secretary Taft and Sen
ator Foraker together. which it is thought
would make Ohio safe.
No efforts have been spared 10 keep these
plans confidential. but there are too-many
persons cognizant OF the program for se-
crecy TO be maintained.

manager in Washington and is directing

BLAIR HAS eRIsr or LAWSUITS
Town stirred Up over Arrests when
saloons Closed.

SoAounN AloAeos
BLAIR, Neb.. MAY Special )-New
proceedings were commenced this morning
in what is expected to be long and bitter
legal fight growing out Of the arrest last
Thursday night Of ex-Chief Of Police Jonas
Burcham. Henry Ketchmark and William
Donner on the charge Of alleged drunken
ness. resisting an officer and disturbing the
peace.
At the last city election Blair went dry
and on last Monday night the saloons
closed their doors permanently for the
first time in the history Of the city. Rumors
had been afloat for some time previous
that the new dry Officers would have their
hands full" run Up against the real
thing" get off their beat" etc. but these
are not charged up directly to the men
who were arrested and with whom the
police had a hard fight last Thursday
night. when Burcham and Donrer were
badly cut up by being clubbed.
Mayor Mead was sworn into office the
night the saloons closed and appointed his
new officers. who went on duty the same
night. He then swore in Emmet Bolt, who
is janitor Of the city high school building.
as extra night police 1t was Bolt who
struck Donner with a base ball bat tho
night of the fight, and today Donner has
filed a charge Of assault and battery
against Bolt charging that he had no
authority and that he Donner. was not
taking part in the disturbance.
Charges are also being filed today by
City Attorney O'Hanlon against Burcham
Donner and Ketchmark, and both cases
will be made state cases and pushed TO a
finish by both sides Attorney Herman
Aye will represent Donner. ard Burke Car
rigan, county attorney. will also be in the
fracas.
The new administration admits that il Is
new at the business and has probably made
some mistakes, the row coming so soon
after they had taken hold Of city affairs.
Mayor Mead was elected strictly as a dry
man, and is determined to administer the
city affairs according to the letter-of the
law. The new appointed officers and the
police judge are receiving considerable CEN
sure for being unprepared and almost to-
tally ignorant Of the duties Of their offices
to be able to properly handle just such a
case as might have been foreseen on the
closing of the saloons. Some blame is at
tached to bith sindes by both factions.
