IL was learned that a break had occurred between Ruef and the prosecution and that the district attorney was in no mood to temporize with Ruef any longer The latter stated that the district attorney desired another conference with him on Monday. A member of the prosecution remarked significantly. "Ruef will be tractable enough when we get through with him."
 Counsel for Schmitz and Ruef and the district attorneys office have dis agreed as to whether the judgment of the appellate court can be effective at once. or until 30 days after the decision is handed down. The prosecution de- clared that Schmitz's application for bail tomorrow will be refused on the ground that no remittitur has been returned and that officially. the trial court is not aware of the reversal. Should the remittitur be sent down 1t was said that its legality would be attacked and it is asserted that the
 prosecution will not ask the appellate court for rehearing or take an appeal to the supreme court.

PROPOSFDPHll ANTHROPl
 OF KING OF TIE BEL6IANS
What Leopold Is Going to Do With Part of the Profits of the Congo Free State.

Brussells. Jan. 1O.-The government has issued reply to the recommenda- tions made by the Congo commission. IL declares that King Leopold does not desire any personal profit from the Donaldson reserves under the treaty. which amount now to S1.300.0c0 a year IL is expected that the amount will soon grow to 5000. 900.
 Continuing, the reply sets forth the various philanthropic methods in which the revenue of the Congo Inde- pendent state is to be expended. The income is to be -consecrated to phil anthropic. educational and hospital work. Catholic missions and civiliza- ton. such as an effort to find a cure for the sleeping sickness The state ment makes it clear that the conces- sionary companies will be amenable to the laws of the Congo and not to the Belgian laws.
 While the document admits that taxes in the Congo have been paid in labor. it denies that a system of forced labor is now in existence. IL is de- clared that if the treaty is not rau- fled King Leopold will resume his former status in the Congo.
 The reply has produced an unfav orable impression generally. It is un- derstood that NJ. Schollaert accepted the premiership under the belief that King Leopold would make further concessions than his present intentions indicate

INNOVATION
 OF FIREMEN
Disastrous and Spectacular New York COnfIdgratiOn
Thirty Persons Buried Be- meath Falling Floors and Crumbling Walls.

New York, Jan. 10-Five firemen went to death tonight, when they re sponded to a fire that ruined the Park CT building, a F story business struc- ture occupying the block between East Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets on Fourth Avenue. The fire was fought by half the firemen of Manhattan and their apparatus blocked the streets. The flames were never controlled and only with difficulty were they cOnfin- ed to the building in which they orig mated. Floor after floor gave way. and dropped to the basement beneath. Under them no less than thirty fire men were caught and either killed out right or seriously injured. The miss ing are: Thomas Phillips; Thomas O'Connor. John Lynch, John Fallon and Tim Hutchinson. Patrol No. 3 removed the dying to hospitals. Cap tains Weldon and Garvin were injur- ed internally.
 The loss is estimated tonight at S1,500,00O. The fire was one of the most spectacular as well as the most disastrous in recent years. From the start to finish its course was marked by heartrending scenes. sensational escapes, and flashes of heroism. The fire started on the fifth floor. On the top floor in an engraving plant. six men were working. Their escape was cut off and they fled to the roof. The flames surrounded them on three sides and they were in imminent danger of death when they were rescued by means of a lifeline shot from a mortar gun manned by q hook and ladder company on the roof of the Florence hotel adjoining on Eighteenth Street.

VIGOROUS COMPARISON
 or CURRENCY BILLS
Representative Hayes of California
 Has an Opinion of the Aldrieh Plan.

Washington. Jan. 1O.-At a meeting of the house banking and currency committee today. Chairman Fowler explained at length the provisions of his currency reorganization bill as distinguished from the Aldrich bill in the senate, arguing that, while the former contemplates a complete reOr- ganization of the national bank cur reacy. on a basis of credit guaranteed notes secured by national bank assets, the latter is an emergency expansion measure. and purely provides for the issue of currency on such general se- curity as bonds Of railroads and Elu- nicipalities.
 Numerous questions were asked which brought out to some extent varying attitudes toward the Fowler bill. After the meeting. Representa- tive Hayes of California said: While am not ommitted to Fowler's meas ure, l am favorably inclined toward it. Between 1t and the A1drich bill there is DO comparison. The Aldrich bill. aside from the serious objection that it is merely temporary in scope. and aims at an emergenc" expansion. is in the nature of a stock gambling instru- ment. pure and simple.

OUIzzfD TAFT IN NEW YORK
In Course of Speech On
 Capital and Labor
The Brownsville Incident Was Irrelevantly Dragged In.

New York, Jan. 10.-Secretary Taft tonight faced a New York audience and set forth in detail his stand on questions relative to the interests and rights of labor and capital, and in turn submitted to d rapid fire attack from the audience which quiZzed him keenly and in a somewhat controversial spirit, according to the practice of the people of the institute, whose guest he was.
 In prepared address the secretary pointed out the dependence. one upon the other of capital and labor, and de- clared that great aggregations of wealth properly employed widened the field Of labor and were to be welcomed, while wealth improperly used was to be condemned. He advocated unionism in so far as sympathy and resultant cooperation made for the the com mon good.
 The first questioner desired to know If the secretary would stake his polit- ical future on the attitude taken by the administration in the Brownsville in- cident. The secretary declined to an swer. The secretary commenced to laugh while reading over a question which inquired why he had changed his attitude toward labor since he left the Ohio bench. The secretary declar- ed that his attitude had not been changed and that the things he said tonight he had always stood by.
 "is not the industrial situation based on the tariff Q false one2" he was ask ed. The secretary replied that if the tariff were abolished now there would be no business at all. He further said that he would not discuss the tariff at this time.

 IN NSTATE OF W0NDFRMFNT
The InCOmprehensibIe Alarm In Europe ali
 the Jdpdnese-AmeriCan Situation
An Explanation of the Smooth Progress TOkio Negotiations for inc Restriction of Emigration of Japanese COOlies.

Washington. Jan. I0.-COnsidering the smoothness with which exchanges are progressing between America and Japan relative to the adjustment Of immigration. the state department is at a loss to account for the publication in various foreign capitals as well as in this country. or reports calculated tO convey the impression that there is serious friction between the two coun- tries. The latest of these is to the ef- feet that the Japanese foreign office is reluctant 10 accede to the demand of Ambassador O'Brien that the agree ment to restrict Japanese coolie immi- grafton be reduced to writing. This meets with unqualified contradiction at the state department. Officials do not care to discuss the negotiations which are still in progress. following the rules that discussion is calueulated to defeat the objects sought. but it develops that Mir. O'Brien is merely aiding the Jap anese officials 10 perfect their internal negotiations that will serve to stop in discriminate immigration. He is rot expected to negotiate a treaty with Japan on the subject or even secure a mOdus vivendi. or any written agree ment
 He has acquainted the Japanese gov ernment with the fact that the meas ures adopted on the question last spring. following the undertaking of the Japanese government to restrict undesirable immigration by a careful regulation of passports. have proved utterly ineffective. The Japanese Of- ficials were surprised at the figures presented by Mir. O'Brien illustrat ting not only a continuance of the immigra- tion of coolies into the Uniled States but a startling increase after the adop- ton of the Japanese restriction policy. Therefore the Japanese officials have been endeavoring to frame regulations that shall be effective and have natur- ally communicated freelv with the American ambassador.
 The latter has acquainted the state department in great detail by cable with the nature of the proposed re- strictive measures. The department has not hesitated to suggest amend ments to the project. based on the ex- perience of immigration inspectors There is pending before the Washing ton officials a very long report by ca ble. from Mir O'Brien covering the latest phase of the Japanese project. Officials are considering this and will not hesitate to indicate how it may be improved if that is possible, nOtwith- standing the ambassador has expressed

A Break Has Occurred Between Him and
 the Bribery Graft Prosecution
Notwithstanding Former Immunity Arrangement He is to be Prosecuted On Enough Indictments to Send Him Up for Lie if Convicted.

San Francisco, Jan. l0.-That the prosecution in the bribery graft cases will endeavor ot revenge itself upon Ruef for the reversal by the appellate court of the conviction of Schmitz and the nullifying of all the eXtortion in dictments against Schmitz and Ruef. by refusing immunity 10 the former political boss and by prosecuting him on enough of the 100 odd indictments 10 insure, in case of his conviction. what will be practically a life sentence. even though it is found necessary to drop all the other cases, was the state ment made to the Associated Press to- night by a person closely identified with Ruef.
 The prosecution was charged with breaking faith with Ruef and it was asserted that the district attorney was endeavoring to visit defeat upon the companion of Schmitz by making him the scapegoat for its failure after it had promised him at least partial inn munity for the information imparted by his confession.
 Coming as 1t did at the end of the day in which mystery and silence had eRshrouded the movements of both the prosecution and Ruef and Schmitz, and after two hours conference between LangdOn. Burns and Ruef at the for mer's office, it had some significance.
 Ruef went 10 the office of the district attorney at the latters request and when he emerged two hours later. neither he nor Langdon would give the slightest intimation of the nature or result of the conference but later it was learned that Ruef was severely questioned with results satisfactory to neither side.
