BURNED AT SCHOOL FIRE

Central City, Colo, May 26.-Five
children who took part in the COM
mencement exercises of Mrs. B. C.
Boyd's school in this city last night
were burned, it is believed fatally.
The audience was changed from an
applauding audience into a fighting
mob and several other children were
slightly injured. Panic was averted
by the coolness of the men In the mob
who covered the flaming children with
their coats. The fatally burned are:
Dorothy Clay, 8. years.
Zelma Clay. aged 10.
Louise Marshall, aged IL.
Nellie McGeary, aged 8.
Rena May Miller. aged 6.
Little Dorothy Clay was the unwit-
ting cause of the catastrophe. The
little girls had formed In a circle and
had drilled back and forth In their
white muslin dresses, the audience
gathering enthusiastically as the en-
tertainment progressed Then the
lights were extinguished and an cleo
trio candle in the hand Of each child
flashed out brilliantly.
The aunts. mothers, fathers. and
playmates in the crowd cheered and
applauded SO enthusiastically that
Dorothy grew frightened and dropped
her candle. The flames leaped into
the white muslin and In twinkling
FIVE dresses were afire.
Mothers fought to reach their chill
dren. veritable small bon1lres ON the
platform. The children gnawed with
the pain, made efforts to chamber
over the footlights to those TO whom
they looked for surcease OF all pain.
Little Louise Marshall, . screaming
rocket leaped over the foot lights and
into the lap OF her aunt IN The aud
ience. Men in the audience then
smothered the flaming cIothlng bat
in the cases OF those named above It
is believed to have been too late.

900 PUPILS IN FIRE
ALL ESCAPE SAFELY WHEN DE-
TRoIT SCHOOL BURNS.
Are Ordered Into Line by Sisters and
March from Building Without
Signs of Panic.

DETROIT, Mich, June ALL OF the
pupils of st. Casimir's parochial school
at Twenty-third and Myrtle streets
escaped in safety this morning from a
fire which broke out on the second floor
of the school.
There were nearly 900 pupils in the
school when the fire was discovered.
Fire drills had been frequent and when
the alarm was spread through the build
ing the teachers marshaled the little ones
into orderly lines and conducted the chill
dren down the stairs and fire escapes
without panic and without injury. The
black-robed sisters who had charge of the
school kept their heads throughout and
remained perfectly cool.
The fire was first discovered IN a room
on the second floor. 1t is supposed that
greasy rags or waste generated it, but
it is also reported that an explosion was
heard shortly before the flames were
first seen. Father Gutowski of the par
ish, declared that he believed an effort
had been made deliberately to burn the
building.
The alarm was promptly given in all
of the rooms when the fire was discov-
cred and the sisters Immediately ord cred
the pupils into lines. Doors and all en-
frances to the fire escapes were thrown
open and the march of the 900 little ones
to safety was begun. In a very short
time all the children were on the street
unhurt.
Hundreds of excited fathers and moth
ers rushed to the school from all over
the parish to rejoice when they found
their children safe.
The loss is about $4,000.

FACE SUPREME C0URT 7
SIX KENTUCKIANS ARE CHARGED
WITH CONTEMPT.
Accused of Lynching Negro Whose APP
peal to High Tribunal Had
Been Granted.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1.-The
supreme court of the United States was
today the scene of the arraignment of six
men before it's bar which was an UMPIRE
cedented spectacle in this, the highest
tribunal in the nation.
The prisoners consisted of former
Sheriff Joseph F. Ship of Hamilton
county, Tenn, and his ja1ler deputy,
jeremiah Gibson, and Luther Williams,
Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and William
Hayse, all of Chattanooga.
They are the men who a week age
were found guilty by the court on the
charge Of contempt in permitting and
participating in the lynching in 1905 OF
a negro named Ed Johnson after the
supreme court had granted permission
to him to bring his case to the supreme
court on appeal. He had been found
guilty of the crime of rape and was I'M
der sentence to be hanged.
The lynching was resented by the
court as one of fragrant contempt, and
Immediately complaint was made to
President Roosevelt, with the result that
he placed the matter in the hands of the
department of justice, which Immediately
participants in the lynching. Proceed
ings were then instituted against the
sheriff and a number of his deputies as
we'll as against about twenty citizens of
Chattanooga. The inquiry which was
subsequently made on behalf OF the
court reduced THIS number to nine, and
the courts own Investigation eliminated
three others, leaving only six to be
brought before the tribunal.
The offenders came into the court to-
day in body. They were accompanied
by officers of the law and by their attor-
neys and attracted no little attention
from the unusually large number Of spec
tators present in the court.
The court postponed the passing of
sentence to permit the prisoners to file
petitions for a rehearing. The cases
therefore go over until next term, the
prisoners remaining out on bond.

distressed. Henry Watterson, who had

GERMANY ANGERED
BY UNITED STATES
CHARGES OF ATTEMPT TO INFLU-
ENCE TARIFF LEGISLATION
ARE RESENTED.
RElCHSTAG LIKELY TO ACT.
Kaiser's Officials Are Amazed at Accu
sation That They Have Acted
Strangely.
HOW THE DISCUSSION AROSE.

BERLIN, June 1.-The charges made
at Washington by various American SEN
ators that the German government was
endeavoring to influence tariff legislation
in the United States by supplying official
information regarding wages, which on
examination proved them to be much
higher than the wages attributed to
German manufacturers in the hearings
before the ways and means committee oS
the House, has caused disagreeable i'm
preston in governmental offices here.
This is especially the case at the minis
try of the interior and the foreign office.
where the information in question was
prepared in reply to request sent in by
the state department.
German Government Attacked.
The German government has been sub
jected during the past two months to at
tacks by German trade journals for hav-
ing supplied America with German trade
secrets. This knowledge of German
wages, it is alleged, made it possible to
adjust the new tariff to level where
German goods could not be exported to
the United States. The abstract of tn"
foreign offices communication through
Ambassador Hill to the state depart
ment appeared in these dispatches
March %, and was later reproduced III
the German newspapers. 1t brought out
savage attacks Oh the government TOR
yielding to the 'Impudent demands OF
the Yankees" for official reports on
wages, thus arming Germany's COM
petitors with vital information.
The state department, in formulating
its request, sent through Ambassador
Hill, is understood to have emphasized
the point that Germany's advantage lay
in supplying trustworthy information
with regard to wages so that the Omted
States could frame it's tariff schedules
equitably. Otherwise, it was argued,
Germany could not complain If erroneous
information was used as basis. Inns
request was received December 10 and
was made the subject of communlca-
ton to the Federated States of Ger
many, each of which ultimately obtained
the information desired from the official
chambers of commerce. The mass OF
reports was first collated in the ministry
of the interior anu then III the tfade
division of the foreign office.
Surprised at Suppression.
It was transmitted about March q,
and arrived at Washington about April
s. being sent in duplicate both through
Ambassador Hill and Count Won Bern
storff, the German ambassador at WASH
ington. Some surprise is expressed here
that for two months the material ap-
parently did not reach the American
Congress, or if it did reach either
house, it must have been pigeonholed.
German officials have been enduring
attacks at home, but they are amazed at
the accusation from America that they
acted strangely in complying with the
request of the American government.
The matter is likely to come up IN the
Reichstag.

NOT PAID BY SULTAN.
French Government Denies That Ambas-
sador, Together with Russia's, Were
on Abduls Payroll.

PARIS, June 1.-The foreign office
has authorized a categorical denial OF
the story first published in the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger that the sudden recall
of M. Constans, the French ambassador
to Turkey, and NJ Zinovieff, the Rus
sian ambassador, was due to the discov-
cry in the Yildiz palace of .documentS
showing that Abdul Hamid, the depose6
Sultan, had paid the former $4,000 and
the latter $4,000 a month for a term OF
months. 1t pronounces this allegation as
absolutely without foundation and ex-
plains that the nominations of M. Bonn
pard ard NJ. Tcharykoff as French and
Russian ambassadors to Turkey were
made after an understanding between
the two governments, whose purpose is
to secure harmony of action between
their representatives accredited to the
new regime in Turkey.

Mountain Trail and Drags Husband
with Her in Fall

PASADENA, Cal, June 1.--Descend-
ing the Santa Anita trail down Mount
Wilson yesterday, Mrs. A. S. Wilson OF
Los Angeles lost her footing and seized
the arm of her husband in an endeavor
to save herself. The latter had no time
to brace himself and both plunged sixty
feet down the rocky canyon. When
found both were unconscious
They were taken to a ranch house
near by, where Mrs. Wilson was report
ed to be in a dying condition. Her hus-
band is also seriously injured.
When rescuers reached the Wilson's,
the body of an unidentified man was
found partially buried in rocks and sand.
From appearance the body had been
there for two weeks or more. The only
identification marks found on his cloth
ing were the initials IS. B. w. stamped
in the swaziland of his hat.
