In all cases where parties have been

CUDAHY COOLS OFF
AND EXPLAINS HIS SIDE
OF THE "OLE0" CASE

Omaha, Neb., April 20.-E. A. Cud-
ahy, vice president and general man
aeer of the Cudahy Packing company,
gave the following statement to the
Associated Press:
The dispute between the govern
ment and ourselves is simply a ques-
ton of chemical analysis. Fol some
time past we have been aware that
the government officials have been
taking samples Of our butterine all
over the country, wherever the goods
have been on sale. These samples, they
claim, show the infinitesimal use Of ar
tiicial coloring matter. We have had
similar samples submitted to h cad
ing chemical analysists Of the United
States and they have assured us that
the butterine vas not colored. Every
man in our employ in our Kansas City
butterine factory-the only place where
we make misunderstanding a knowl-
edge Of the manufacture Of h goods,
has made affidavit that no coloring
matter has been used. AS the goods
were sold by us as uncolored goods
and by our customers to the trade as
such, there has been no attempt on our
part to defraud the government OF
revenue. ..r

SCORE OF LIVES LOST
IN FRISCO HOTEL FIRE
Bodies Are Charred Beyond
observation-disclosures Are
Thrilling.

San francisco, April 19.-Ffye bodies
recovered and probably eight or 10 9TH
ers buried In the ruins; six injured. one
fatally n a property loss of $125, 900
are the results Of an early morning fire
which destroyed the st. George hotel
a lodging house for laborers at Howard
and Eighth streets, and eight other
small buildings.
The bodies taken to the morgue were
so charred that Identification was i'm
possible. ID. s. Cartright, a carpenter
formerly of Salem, Ore, was fatally
burned.
Later another body was recovered.
bringing the total number OF known
dead up to six. One body has been
partially identified as that Of - John
son, of san Antonio. Tex.
Two hundred people were In the no.
tel when the fire broke out. One hun
dred and thirty-seven of these were
regular boarders and h rest tran
sients. OF the regular boarderS, 80 are
un~accounted for, but 1t is believed that
many escaped and have neglected to
report their safety.
The hotel was a three-story frame
building and burned so rapidly that
none of the 1870 guests had time to
dress. Many escaped by jumping To
the roof of an adjoining workshop.
Scores clambered down the ladders of
the firemen and the fire escapes and
at least four jumped to safety into the
net held by the 1remen.
Police Are Heroic.
Z When the fire was discovered shortly
after 8 o'clock, Night Clerk Arthur
Gronhk, three or FOUR other employees
and Policeman W. F. Kruger, ran
through the house arousing the sleep
ing tenants. In the smoke filled halls
they directed the half-crazed men to
the exits.
Great confusion and panic prevailed
so that 1t was with great difficulty that
men were able to find their way through
the labyrinth of halls, which threaded
the 600 small rooms.
Ffremen and police worked heroically
and but for their efforts the loss of life
would nave been much greater.
Before the ruins had cooled, firemeT
began the search for the bodies. With
in two hours Ave charred bodies haC
been found and only a small portion o.
the burned area had been explored.

AFR GEYSER HURLS
WORKER TO DEATH
FROM new BRIDGE
Unusual Accident on New York
Span Delays Commissioner
First Trip.

New York, April T7.-Death can devise Q
new trick any day to get the man whs
works aloft boiling steel beams together
into bridges. The latest novelty in killing
Is to hurl the man upward on a column OF
compressed air, hold him In poise for an
instant and then cast him down to the
stones 100 feet below. The victim was
John McShane. employed on the ManhatI
tan bridge, H.
This happened Just before noon. when
McShane was about to lay aside his pneu1
matte riveting hammer to eat his dinner.
AS q result the hundred men on the bridge

Because of this lost half day the work
Of completing the span between ths
Brooklyn anchorage n cast tower was
delayed and the bridge commissioner Of
icial trip over the structure, which had
been planned for today, has been post
poned.
The compressed air, which exerts q
pressure Of 24O pounds to the square inch,
Is carried up to the bridge In two steel
s~tandpipes. to the upper ends or which ara
attached wtre-wound hose, strong but
flexible, so that they may be carried wher-
over they are needed to feed the pressure

Poised In Air.
McShane was standing almost over 1t.
He saw the long hose writhe as the air
began to leak elsewhere and then heard a
short, horrible hiss. But It wasn't warn
ing, for there wasn't time for one. In an
! other instant the man was lifted ten feet
above the bridge and held there, unhurt,
by the invisible column as rtgfdly az IL
1t had been Of steel. II
He was face down In the air, fran
IDEALLY working his arms and legs, as q
man learning to swim. He was as though
impaled by that three-inch rod Of air
which had hit him just above his middle.
where It balanced him 80 nicely that he
could not wriggle off Of It.
Then, before It had spent its force. the
column swerved far enough from the per-
pendicular to carry McShane just beyond
the edge Of the bridge, where 1t slid him
off into space.
In his descent the man struck first an
iron girder, from which he pounded up
ward six feet. Then he hit an inch plank
of oak leaning against a derrick near the
ground, and went right through It and fell
on a heap Of crushed stone In front or the
office Of Terry & Tenth, the contractors
by whom he was employed, beneath the
Brooklyn end Of the bridge.
He was alive when he reached the
ltground, for fellow workmen who ran "a
him saw his lips move and his arrzs and
legs contract. But he was dead long be-
fore an ambulance got there. John
Switzer, q foreman, had a narrow escape.
He was knocked over by the stream OF es-
Gaping air, but caught q beam and saved
himself.
