pIxoN's POINTED REMARKS
Montana Senator Declares Money 10
Wasted on Navy Yards.

Washington. Senator Dixon, OF
Montana, discussing the naval appro-
priation bill in the senate, continued
his structures Of the plan of having
many navy yards alcng the Atlantic
and gulf coasts instead of three or
four great naval bases. He declared
millions OF dollars were annually
wasted by the scattering OF the work
through many navy yards. He par
ticularly demanded information as to
the necessity for foundry costing
$780, for the Portsmouth navy
yard, which precipitated a long dis
cussion ON the merits of several yards
for repair work.
Senator Tillman tainted Senator
Dixon with being "a senator from the
Rocky mountains who has come here
TO tell us how to build navy"
1T is" he continued easier to SIT
on a mountain peak out in Montana
and read magazine criticism of. the
navy than TO run the navy"
Replying to Mr.. Tillman, who
charged him with being prejudiced
against the southern yards. Mr.. Dixon
said he was southerner, and had no
such prejudices, and that so far as he
knew, Charleston might be the best
place for a great naval station.

Investigation by railway of1icials
and the police show that at least $780,

From the manner In which the
holdup was accomplished, 1t is
thought possible that the robbers are
the ones responsible for the holdup
of the Denver & Rio Grande train
last May, when Express Messenger
Wright was killed.
The robbery was remarkable for

Being Crowded With
Bodies of Weaker

City OF Mexico.--Between $50 and
800 persons were burned to death and
many were injured in a fire which de-
stroyed the Flores theater in the city
Of Acapulco Sunday night The news
of the disaster reached here Monday.
telegraphic communication with Aca-
pulco having been destroyed, owing to
the fact that the telegraph Office adj
joining the theater was burned and
all wires put out of commission.
The Flores theater was wooden
structure, and over 1000 people
crowded into 1t to witness a special
performance given In honor Of Gov
ernor Damian Flores, of the state of
Guerro, who was visiting the host at
the time One of the numbers on the
program consisted of a series of NOV
ing pictures While the operator was
exhibiting these a film caught fire and
blaze was quickly communicated to
some bunting which had been used for
decorative purposes.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread TO all parts of the
structure. There were but three mar
row exits and the panic-stricken au-
dience rushed to them, many persons
falling, to be crushed to death, their
bodies choking the way to escape for
others. The screams of those impris-
oned were horrifying Owing to the
rapidity with which the fire spread
and its intense heat 1t was impossible
to attempt rescue work, and those Inn
prisoned were literally roasted alive,
az the fire burned with little smoke,
and few were suffocated.
The efforts Of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save
the adjoining buildings, and the fire
men succeeded so well that the prop
erty loss was small
Many OF the dead are from the first
families OF the state, the affair at the
theater being social event of consid-
cradle Importance and calling out the
wealthiest and Oldest families for
miles around. In some instances
whole families were wiped out The
municipal authorities caused large
trenches to be dug, and into these the
bodies were laid. Identification has
been impossible. most of the bodies
having been burned to crisp.

PLANS OF DESPERATE MAN
FAILED TO MATERIAL|zE
Merchant Has Narrow Es-
cape from Clutches Of Man Bent
Upon Depicting His Bank Roll.

Kansas City.-Lawrence NJ. Jones,
a millionaire dry goods merchant,
president OF the Jones' Dry Goods
company; his wife and his son, Ches-
GER, narrowly escaped death Tuesday
at the hands of a desperate man, who
entered Mr.. Jones's home, and. with
a dynamite bomb in one hand and a
revolver in the other, demanded
$1,000 from Mr.. Jones After clever
tnaneuvering, Mr.. Jones managed to
gain the mans consent to accompany
him and his son to a bank for funds.
While the trio were about to enter
the Jones motor car to be whirled
downtown, Mr. Jones threw himself
upon the man from behind and seized
him around the chest in such fash
ion as to pinion his arms. AT the
same time, by a trick he learned
when boy, he kicked the mans feet
from under him. Both fell and rolled
down the stone steps at the edge OF
the Jones porch. Chester, the son,
was upon the intruder before he could
recover. The young man seized the
mans pistol in one hand just as the
trigger was pulled. The weapon
failed to explode.
The man, who gives his name as G.
II. Garnett, admits that he intended to
capture Mr.. Jones and hold him for
ransom, having hired house In the
suburb of the city, where he intended
to keep his captive until the ransom
was paid.
