hold with vim, lending every effort
to make II a success II is expected
that special train will be run from
this place TO accommodate the large
of Iowa people who reside in
this vicinity. W. C. Libby, who is
vice president of the Iowa Day asso-
citation. says he has definitely learned
that Lieutenant Governor Geo w

The many friends of Tim Manion,

number of the buildings of the big
Calliope mine. near Ouray, of which
Mr. Manion is superintendent, were
destroyed or badly damaged by fire
yesterday afternoon, A loss of sew
eral thousand was incurred beside the
loss that will accrue as the result of
the necessity of shutting down the
mine while the extensive repairs are
being made Work was progressing
very rapidly on the property and the
ore was getting richer from day to
day, hence the delay necessitated by
this fire is doubly aggrevating and
costly
1t is believed by the officials of the
stub ditch that the cribbing work

but they have been disappointed so
frequently that some of them declare
that they will not expect the water
until they see 1t flowing past in the
bitches.
1t is estimated that here are over
fifty Grand junction people in Seat

REMODEuNG TAFTS OFFICES
WORK AT WHITE HOUSE AL
READY UNDER WAY.
Addition to Be Built at Cost OF
SAC, 900, and Other Improve
ments Projected.

Within a few days the executive Offices
of the White House will look like they had
been struck by cyclone. The work of re-
thousand-dollar addition 10 them began
today with the removal Of the furniture
and the beginning of excavations at the
rear for the new building. Assistant Sec
retary Mischler, who will be in charge of
the White House while President Taft is
away from Washington. has removed the
executive staff, furniture. etc. to the
cloak and dressing rooms on the base
ment floor. The light in the five rooms
there is not as good as it was in the of
fees occupied for the last four years, but
the space is ample Everything having
been taken out today, the contractors
have started their force of hands SO as
to get right down to fast work upon the
addition, which is to be completed by the
time of the return Of President Taft to
Washington, November .. In fact, the
work must be completed before that time,
so that the new offices can be furnished
and ready for the President TO go right
into them. 1t is confidently believed that
this can be done. When the main White
House was remodeled and the present
executive offices were built the work went
on for the better part of six months, al
though the executive offices and living
rooms of President Roosevelt were COM
pleted before that time.
The office building is to be torn out in
the rear, but the front is not to be dis
turbed The contractors expect to begin
tearing down the rear walls within a few
days.

MAHO0L HERE TO TRIM WEST
MAYOR AND COMMISSIONER
PITTED AT GOLF.
Baltimorean to Try to Wipe Out
Disgrace of Defeat Administered
by Washington Opponent.

Out north Of the city of Washington,
but within the limits of the District of
Columbia, this afternoon a battle royal
is on
And the honor of the Capital City 10
at stake. 1t is assailed by the neigh
boring city of Baltimore. and, of course
the strife will be hot
The arms to be used in this struggle
are drivers, putters and other golf
sticks. The ammunition is to be small
white balls with corrugated surfaces.
The general, adjutant, colonels. ma
jors. captains, lieutenants, sergeants,
corporals and privates to represent
Washington are to be Commissioner
West. Henry l.. West Fl. l.. West.
Harry West and Harry. In opposition
there will be Mayor J. Barry Mahool of
Baltimore, j. Barry Mahool j. B. Ma
hool. Barry Mahool and Barry.
The mayor of the Monumental city
arrived in the Capital City shortly be-
fore ! o'clock this afternoon, wearing
a confident smile and bringing with him
large array Of golf sticks and plenty
of golf balls. : He will be the guest Of
Commissioner West during his stay
here
Early in the afternoon the municipal
officials proceeded to the Columbia Golf
Club out on Georgia avenue Soon they
were engaged in batting couple of the
aforesaid balls over the landscape and
spending much time in finding them
again.
Mayor Mahool has come to Washington
with blood in his eye. Some weeks ago
he invited Commissioner West to be his
guest over in Baltimore. and during the
afternoon proposed little golf game at
the Baltimore Cross Country Club.
Commissioner West was willing; and
what he did to the mayor Of the fair
city on Chesapeake bay was a plenty. 1t
was kept very quiet in Baltimore. the
newspapers being charitably inclined to
the citys executive.
Well the mayor of the monumental
city has been practcing in the meantime.
Reports say that his Office has been va
Gated early on many afternoons during
the past few weeks. and he has been
seen lambasting a golf ball at the Balti-
more Cross Country Club.
So a battle royal is on this afternoon
al the Columbia Golf Club between the
mayor of Baltimore and Commissioner
of the District for municipal golf honors

SWEDISH SOLDIERS MUTINY.
Government Fears of Their Sym
pathy With Strikers Justified.

STOCKHOLM. August Swedish
troops in the northern part of the country
have mutinied. The government is much
concerned.
Two regiments, one al Falun and the
other at Solleftea, are affected. They are
stationed in the northern country. where
the labor disturbances first broke out in
the timber trade.
The government has been haunted by
the fear that the soldiers sympathes
were with the strikers. The mutinous
troops have been confined TO their bar
racks.
The executive committee of the Swedish
Union, at a meeting held today, decided
60 call out all the printers throughout the
kingdom. Many grave diggers have de-
fled the orders of their labor union to re-
turn to work and have rejoined the
strikers.
The food situation in Stockholm shows
no improvement today. The strike con-
tinues. The hopes of yesterday that the
men would withdraw from their extreme
attitude have not been fulfilled.

HEROIC EFFORTS OF POLICE
Flames in Second Floor Of House Of
Good Shepherd.
FIREMEN BARRED BY LOCKS
New York Institution Burns, With
Over Three Hundred Lives in
Peril, Early Today.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August Fire that
wrecked the interior Of the entire second
floor of the House of the Good Shepherd.
which occupies the block bounded by 9Oth
and 91st streets, Avenue A and the East
river and that ragged for probably half
an hour. unknown to a single occupant Of
the building, caused panic early today
among the nuns and about 800 young
girls in their charge.
Had not Policeman Warner seen the
flames issuing from the windows at about
3:3J o'clock, there is little doubt that the
fire would have gained such headway that
the girls would have been cut off from
escape and scores of lives lost.
AS it was, he had the greatest difficulty
in arousing any one in. the house or
grounds and when the firemen came they
had to batter down an iron door in the
high brick wall that surrounds the place.
When the policeman saw the flames he
first pulled an alarm box and then ran to
the main gate on 9Oth street He pulled
the bell until he broke it, and hammered
and yelled with all his might. The
watchman was evidently in another part
OF the grounds for there was no re-
sponse and apparently the inmates were
sleeping peacefully, ignorant of their
danger.
Battered Windows With Stones.
Warner was joined by two other police
men, They could not open the gate, SO
the three got out in the street and hurled
cobble stones against the windows. They
knew that the dormitory, in which about
800 girls sleep, is in the third story, i'm
mediately above the floor in which the
fire was blazing and which is used as a
sewing room, and they threw their mis-
siles at the windows IN the third floor inn
mediately above the floor in which the
fire was blazing. But these windows are
protected by stout wire netting and the
rocks bounded off noiselessly.
One of the priests connected with the
institution nnaily appeared and admitted
the policemen but carelessly closed and
locked the gate after them so that when
the fire engines arrived the flremen had to
batter down the heavy iron gate
Inmates Terror-Stricken.
Tie policemen and the priest had all
ready dashed upstairs and aroused the
sleeping girls and nuns, and screaming
with terror and surprise they rushed out
in their night dresses into the court
yard. where they were herded into a
ny sterical group by the Sisters of the
Good Shepherd
The firemen had little difficult in ex-
tinguishing the blaze and succeeded In
confining il 10 the second floor. The
room was bare of furniture. excepting
tables, machine chairs and a desk all of
which were destroyed.
The desk was used by the sister in
charge Of the sewing department, and
Il Is presumed the fire originated in
one of the drawers. Matches were kept
in II. and II is believed tina. rats gnawed
them ard caused the blaze.
