BULLETIN


EVERETT, Aug. 3.-George
Ryan, former engineer on the
Great Northern railroad, who was
Saturday fined $50 for turning in
a false alarm of fire, and George
Hopkins, 19-year-old youth,
were arrested this morning on
suspicion of having knowledge OF
the origin of the incendiary fires
which resulted In a serious con-
flagration here last night.
EVERETT, Aug. 3.-officers
are today looking for incendiaries
who are supposed to have started
five successive blazes, which wiped
out more than a dozen business
houses of Everett yesterday after
noon and last night, entailing a
loss estimated at 5000. The
Snohomish county court house.
valued at $4,000. was one of the
first buildings to succumb to the
flames.
Rendered desperate, after
many hours of incessant combat
with the flames, the firemen is
sued frantic appeal about 10
o'clock at night to the Seattle and
Snohomish departments, and the
Snohomish firemen were soon on
the scene rendering valuable as
sistance. Before Seattle had got
ten her equipment aboard, a spe-
cial train, the Seattle chief was
notified that the flames were un-
der control.
Early this morning the fire
burned itself out.
Reign of Terror.
Little less than a reign of ter
ror existed during the early part
of the night. With reports of fire
coming in at frequent intervals
from widely scattered incendiary
origin, the electric light wires
were placed out of commission,
and the city was plunged in total
darkness.
To add to the terror, there was
an incessant rattle from the dis
charge of cartridges in the Bailey
sporting goods establishment,
while there were frequent detona-
tions from the discharge of dyna-
mite that was used to wreck
buildings in the path of the flames
and check their progress.
No loss of human life was re-
ported in the fire.. but at least six
teen horses perished, and their
pitiful neighing as they were slow
iy ineinerated alive added to the
tumult.

In Stopping, Curtiss'
Machine Beats Wrights'

One decided advance in the
Curtiss machine is its bal
ance. which is so finely ad-
justed that when the motor
is stopped in midair the
planes turn up against the
air like birds wings and
stop the flight. The whole
machine then gently glides to
the ground. From the stand
point of the beholder the
stopping is a miracle, for,
while the machine is dashing
at 40-mile rate one min
ute, 1T is gently fluttering to
earth the next.
'-~ Curtiss' machine runs on

made from the ground. This
is decided advance of send
ing their machine into the

so specially invited" politicians,
business men and others assembled
at the Tacoma hotel today to
start a movement to nominate a
congressman. He received the
highest vote, with Judge Reid sec
ond, B. w. Coiner, third, and Link
Davis fourth, with eleven other
men also named as possibilities.
Meeting Quietly Called.
The meeting was very quietly
called and most of the business
men and none Of the representa-
tives of labor knew anything of 1t.
1t grew out of conference OF a
dozen or more men held yesterday,
which conference is said to have
been the result of quiet. work on
the part of Joe Mitchell, Ralph
Metcalf, Sam A. Perkins and Sena-
tor Paulhamus.
Looking for Standpatter.
1t was whispered around
quietly that the meeting was to
get good "standpatter" for a
congressman, and to head off any
movement of the radicals who
might conclude to nominate a
Roosevelt republican who would
not be in harmony with the stu
alton at Washington.
At the meeting, however, the
sentiment was entirely for getting
together and preventing the
Southwest from beating the city
out of congressman. Joshua
Peirce called the meeting to order
and said 1t was called to consider
the congressional situation. w.
H. Hayden was named as chair
man.
Swan Samson then got the floor
|and said he had been around In
|terviewing business men and most
of them were for Judge Reid or
Jim Ashton and he thought one
or the other should have It.
With this for a started D. s.
Johnston jumped up at once and
moved that a ballot be taken of
individual preferences.
How "Guests" Voted.
1t was done and the vote stood:
James Ashton, 26; Judge Reid,
IT; B. w. Coiner, 16; Link Davis,
81; Joshua Peirce, 2, and one each
for L. W. Pratt, Joe Mitchell. r..
L. Mccormick, d. 8. Johnston.
George H. Stone, w. H. Paulham-
us. Frank -Latcham, Allan Mason,
Colonel Joab and r. q. Hudson.
Wants Regular"
r. L. Mccormick made a speech
and insisted the important thing
was to get a man who would be
regular" with the party, who in
Washington would stick to the
party and never be an insurgent.
He said only the regulars could
get things for the district and he
had not much use for a congress-
man who could not get things.
Senator Ralph Metcalf said the
important thing in his mind was
for Tacoma to get together. Wal
ter Harvey seconded this idea. He
said the Southwest was already
planning to cut Tacoma clear out
of the congressman and unless
this city got together and made a
strong fight she would probably be
beaten. Harvey stated that both
Judge Reid and Jim Ashton had
told him they would not be cam
dfdates. He thought Conner
would.
Open Meeting Called.
A committee was finally named
consisting of F. H. Murray, e. J..
