anti SPANISH
MOB IN LONDON
Red Flag Raised and Mob
Moved Upon the Spanish
Embassy

London, Oct. 1S.-The red flag was
raised In London yesterday afternoon
and a large. mob moved upon the
Spanish embassy to make a demon
stration of its disapproval of the exc
cutfon Of Prof. Francisco Ferrer, the
convicted revolutionist. at Barcelona
few days ago. Several bodies of
police were stationed at the approach
es to the embassy an1. they drove off
the crowds in their usual bloodless,
effectual way. but considerable ex-
citement and uneasiness pervaded the
neighborhood. The groans and hoot-
ings were plainly heard in the en-
bassy and at Buckingham palace
nearby.
No one was injured seriously al
though the mounted police rode
against the crowds and scattered them
several times.
The trouble began with mass
meeting in Trafalgar square, which
was organized by several socialist
and labor bodies. Several hundred
OF the members of these organizations
marched to the square carrying red
flags draped with crepe and bearing
inscriptions denouncing King Alfonso.
A black bordcred banner was raised
against the Nelson column with big
letters that could he read from afar:
TO hell with the murderer Alfonso"
After j. F. Green. secretary of the
Friends of Russian freedom, had call
ed the meeting to order, he read a
telegram from the countess of War;
wick. saying; mo words are too
strong to express Europe's horror at
the murder of Ferrer."
Several laborite members of par-
Lament delivered strong orations.
Victor Grayson OF Manchester, the
socialist member, capped the climax
by declaring that if the head of every
king of Europe was torn from his
body it would not pay half the price
of Ferrer's life. He called the Rus
sian emperor "a dirty monster" and
said that King Edward. who could
have prevented the execution. was re-
sponsible for whatever might happen
in England as q result of it. He de-
manded the expulsion of the Spanish
ambassador
Strong resolutions were adopted
before the meeting ended. Several
thousand persons assembled in tho
square, the majority Of them attracted
by the same curiosity that would take
them to the sufferagette demonstra-
ton. The socialists societies carry
ing their banners then marched In
good order to the Spanish embassy,
singing revolutionary songs an6 moot
ing King Alfonso. A great rabble ac-
companied them, filing the streets.
1t was dark when they reached the
open square in front of the embassy.
and they found that the square was
filled with platoons Of police. The
embassy windows were dark and
there was no sign of life there. The
police would not let the procession
enter the square. or even stop. The
crowds were turned back and kept
moving up Victoria street toward the
parliament buildings. singing, shout
ing and groaning. The reserves were
then brought up and they drove the
mob into the side streets dispensing
1t without serious trouble.

CHICAGO HAS A
CLEARING HOUSE
Girls Are Shipped From There
to Other Cities for Immoral
Purposes

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Kansas CITY
Denver. San Francisco, Seattle and
other western cities have been brought
into the war on the white slave traf-
fic by the discovery by Special Prose-
cutor Clifford G. Roe, that system
attic shipping of girls from this to
otner cities has been a more import
ant phase of the evil than supposed.
A clearing house in Chicago which
has been operated by band of men
and women has been the central
agency which supplied victims for
the red light districts of other cities.
Already lines are out to make a care
full investigation in all of the sus-
pected cities to furnish the needed
portions of evidence about this phase
of the traffic.
The discovery of this clearing
house. of the shipping of girls and
underground routes to other cities
will be used in urging upon congress
at Its next session the enactment of
new FEDERAL law covering interstate
phases of the traffic on lines similar
to the Illinois pandering act secured
by the Woman's World committee
last spring.
We KNOW" said Attorney Roe
who was a member Of that committee.
that hundreds of Chicago girls have
become victims to the traffic and that
they have been sent so far from home
that few of them ever get back. Most
of them were working girls in down
town stores, who have been lured by
promises of excellent positions and
cheaper living expenses in smaller
cities. AS we probe deeper in our
Investigations, this phase of the traf-
fic assumes the proportions of a
mountain as compared with earlier
discoveries. Facts in hand are an
palling and demand greater and more
extensive work than we had any
thought of when we started. But we
are In the fight and are going clear
through it. Several arrests in this
connection will probably be made to-
morrow"
Instead of purchasing railroad
tickets and starting the girls remoy-
ed from resorts to their homes. as
has been the custom. the girls are
being held in the city until ATTORNEY
Roe can secure from them all possible
Information regarding the persons
who were instrumental in bringing
them here. i

WOMAN PLEAD FOR
FALLEN WOMEN
Leader in Church Work Took
Bold Stand for Husband
less Mothers

Pittsburg, Oct. .18-"We are caring
better for heather in foreign lands
than for our neighbors here at home. -
This bold statement was made, not
by an agnostic or scoffer at religion,
but was uttered in well-measured and
emphatic tones by one of the brightest,
most devout and tireless workers in
attendance at the centennial conven-
tions Of the Christian church-Mrs. T,
r. Ayars of st. Louis-before the
joint meeting of the National Beney-
olent association and the Ministerial
association of the Churches of Christ

Missouri, was one of the founders of

she is certain that more and better

efforts.
"The president of this meeting has
not told you the subject of my text: 80
I will tell you. It is The Great Com

This is the manner in which Mrs.
Ayars launched perhaps the most
vigorous address that has been at
tempted by any of the women dele
gates to the centennial conventions.
She scored her own church for not
complying with the mandates of God
in caring for the sick, the needy and
Gods command, she
said, Is imperative, and that If the
church has not carried out the in
junction it is grievously at fault.

Was For Twenty Years in the
Employ Of the Great Nor
thern Railroad
HIS SPLENDID W1RK IN
C0l0k|z|NG NORTH DAKOTA
Was the Land Agent for Thousands
Of Farmers Who Are Now Among
the States Best Citizens-Possessed
Intricate knowledge of the Land.

Chicago, Oct. 1S-Max Bass, gener-
al immigration agent of the Great
Northern railway, died today at his
home in this city. Mr.. Bass had been
in the employ of the Great Northern
for more than twenty years.
No railroad man, not even except
ing James ]. Hill, came into such er-
sonal relations with the people Of
North Dakota as Mr.. Bass. During
the last twenty years he has been the
land agent for thousands of men,
many of whom have become wealthy
through the advice he gave. MIR. Bass
studied the territory of the Great
AIrthern at first hand and he was a
vsritable waking encyclopedia of land
Information. He could select by men,
ory almost the ideal piece of land re-
quired by a prospective buyer. So
accurate and SO minute in details was
his knowledge of the particular sec
tions that his statement in hundreds
Of instance sobviated the necessity OF
q personal inspection by the purchas-
.er. 1t is doubtful if there has ever
been dissatisfied person who was To-
Gated by Max Bass.
He has done much for the state,
far more than is generally accredited.
While he was seeking to settle up
the territory contributory to the
Great Northern lines, he realized the
need of doGlg so with a class of in
dustrious, frugal and sturdy class of
people who would not only build up
the country for their immediate use,
but for their pasterity. 1t is to this
cause that the establishment. of the
substantial farm homes and collater-
al can be traced. 81.

name of christening one of her

greatest monument is the apprecia-
tion of the thousands whom he has
helped to homes and property.

The speaker warmed to her subject
as she continued:

place for the cripple. The blind and
the deaf find no shelter maintained

Mrs. Ayars surveyed her audience
and then took up branch of her sub
ject such as only woman can do
with effectiveness. She said:
"My sanctimonious sisters, draw
your skirts aside while l mention q
subject that many of you would avoid.
Many of you do draw your skirts aside,
and that's the trouble. What about

babes little nearer to their heart.
Perhaps 1t was because they realized
their own guilt. don't wonder that a
mother sometimes clasps her little
one 10 ner bosom and then throws it
into the river. 1t is because we have
provided no place to shelter and re-
claim her; to fetch her back to Jesus
Christ.
Then there is the mother who is
widowed, or more often deserted. She
has two or three children. Do YOU
want to take her with her little ones

She and her children must live. What

to state that we are trying in St.
Louis to build place. We are doing
little something in the right direc-
ton.
"In our struggles to get protection
for these we meet the scorn of phar-
isaical sisters. One day last month
in st. Louis we turned away ten
women and babies, and then we had
others sleeping on the floor. Do you
know what the Methodists, Baptists
and the Salvation. Army are doing, and
especially the Catholics? The stain
of the great sin of omission is on the
Church of Christ to its lasting shame. I"

LEGISLATORS, Destroyed by Fire.

The COPELAND, Filled with n
Legislators, Destroyed by Fire.
The Copeland Hotel, a famous head
quarters for legislators and poltlclahS'
situated at Ninth and Kansas ave
nues, one block from the State Capt.
tol. Topeka. Kan, was destroyed by
fire that started shortly after i o'clock
Thursday lAorl-il!g. Every roc'A WAS
occupied, the guests numbering about
$50, among them legislators and poll
ticians of prominence throughout th"
State. The flames burned with such
rapidity that most of the occupants
were forced to use the fire escapes.
l. T.. Lambert of EmpOria, Il of the
most prominent attorneys and polill-
clans in the State, is missing, and is
believed to have been burned to death.
Many Of the guests were injured, but
none is thought to have been fatally
hurt. There were many sensational es-
,capes, several persons jumping from
windows.
The Copeland Hotel was Of brick
construction, four stories in height. it
was one of the oldest hostelries i'll the
State. 1t had a roomy lobby and wide
Railways and was plentifully supplied
with fire escapes. The main stairway,
however, was built round the elevator,
and the flames shooting up the shaft
soon shut off this means of escape. The
fire started in the lower part of the
building from some cause as YET IN
known. The flames shot up quickly
and before an alarm could be turned III
were fast making their way up the
wide corridors and filling the open
spaces with smoke. When the fire APP
paratus arrived on the scene it was APP
parent that the structure was doomed.
The loss is estimated at 100000.

MINE EXPLOSION KILLS "a,
Mysterious Blast Not Felt on Surface
Takes Toll in Human Life.

The series of mlshnps in Joe I~eiter's
famous m~illion-dollar col:iery at IieS-
Ter, H., during the last few years
reached a climax shortly after / ocioc
Sunday morning when Il mysterious eX'
plOsion killed t~wenty-four men. Nine
teen bodies have been recovered, five
are missing and are undoubtedly dead
and two are injured critically. This
is the second serious disaster in the
Ziegler Coal Company's property which
has been the scene of several minor
fatalities and where for more than w
years a desperate labor war was waged
as the result of a strike. An explosion
in 1905 killed thirty-five men at work
in the mine.
Joseph Letter and his bride of half a
year were there when the explosion
happened, having come to town several
weeks ago to direct the fight on 4 nre
in the workings which, after a long
battle, was got under control FRIDAY
night. The first coal hoisted out OF
the shaft in more than six weeks was
brought up Saturday, and it was OK
pected to put the full force of men TO
work during the next few days.
The explosion was remarkable IN
that except for the many dead 1t lett
scarcely n trace of its work, and IN"
interior Of the mine shows no sign OF
damage
No sound was heard by the

a small puff of black smoke was seen
t. issue from the mouth OF the hllllc'
but it soon disSipated in the air. The

something was wrong, and, summonlnG
assistance, an Investigation was begun.
Men were sent dow the SHAFT ara
there discovered what had happened.
Scattered through the workings whore
they had been engaged were found the
members of the night shift Of mines
all dead but two. Many Of the bodies
brought from the mine we're mutllated
almost beyond recognition. Two OF the
victims were natives of Franklin Conn
