DETAILS OF THE OSAKA FIRE
Deaths Number Thirteen and Injured
About Three Hundred-Fifteen
Hundred Buildings Burned.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 15.-When the En-
press of India, which reached port yester-
day afternoon, was leaving Kobe, suffer-
ers Of the fire that swept over five square
miles of Osaka, were strung out over the
main road around the bay and making
their way by junk and sampan to Kobe
for succor. The deaths numbered thtr-
teen and 300 persons were injured.
The fire started at a hosiery factory in
NichomO. NOTthward, shortly before day
light July 81, and sperad rapidly, licking
up the waffle and bamboo houses across
six streets. while the firemen from Osaka
WaterwOrks were using water drawn with
buckets from walls until the soldiers came
from the Osaka garrison and began dy-
namiting houses in the path of the fire.
The main building of the great Tennohi
temple was saved. While priests We're
scurrying to rescue the art treasures, re-
markable scenes were witnessed in the
temple grounds. Finally, when the rear
gate was burned. a priest called upon the
spirits of the dead to stay the flames.
Soon afterward the wind veered, increas-
ing in force and diverted the flames to-
ward Horikawa, a wide canal connected
with the YOdo river, on either side of
which Osaka is built.
Field hospitals were established by the
militia and many injured were brought in
for treatment The proprietor Of the
hosiery factory where the fire started and
his wife were stopped by police from
throwing themselves into the flames,
shouting that they did so to atone for the
catastrophe.
The fire destroyed in all about 1906
buildings.

NUMBER OF DEAD IN Hustled
WRECK INCREASED By ONE

which served to prevent even greater loss
Of life and death under the most agOnlz-
ing circumstances, none was more tortu-
nate as it turned out than that the col
lisiOn occurred on a curve This served 10
throw the engines to each side OF the
track and the forward coaches Of the two
trains which were the only cars dera1led,
were thrown to the inner side of the
curve.
The immense clouds of kissing steam
escaping from the battered hulks Of tho
three huge engines as they lay in the deep
ditch, east of the track, and the heat Of
the unQuenched fires in the engine boxes
wasted their destructive force on the
grass and weeds. The distance between
the engines and the combination car in
which dead and wounded lay, was suffi-
/ cient to remove all danger Of fire, other
wise many of the victims of the wreck,
/ helplessly entangled in the ruins Of the
car, would probably have been caught By
the flames before they could be extri-
Gated.
The loss to the Denver and Rio Grande
railway company, aside from the claims
for death. viii amount to about $4,000.
l Traffic was resumed within & few hours
after the accident

PRIMARY LAW TO
BE GIVEN TEST
California Voters will Make
Selections Tuesday From
Host of Candidates.

san Francisco, Cal, Aug. 15.-CalifOr-
MAS direct primary law, enacted at the
last session Of the legislature, will be Civ
en- its first practical test here on Tues
day when voters viii make selections from
a host of candidates of the men who will
carry party standards in the fall cam
paign. With the exception Of superior
judges, a full city and county ticket will
be elected in November.
The direct primary appears to have
brought forward larger classes of candi-
dates than have figured in previous cleo
tons.
Registration for the primaries of Aug. II
closed with $500 V OteTs entitled to partic-
ipate. This is a record for any primary
election since the campaign of Eugene T.
SchmitZ under the auspices of the Union
Labor party. OF this number 1880 are en-
rolled as Democrats, 40,O00 as Republicans,
S, 400 as UniOn-LabOT supporters, while 49,,
900 refused to make known their party
affiliation.
The Republican element is divided on
the policy of continuing the prosecution
of men indicted in 1907. The effort to
elect a district attorney pledged to one
course or the other is generally regarded
as of more Importance than the mayor
atty.
After Byron Mauzy had been placed in
the field for mayor committee of bust
ness men named a new set of Republican
candidates for every office

GATHER AT BANQUET BOARD
Distinguished AssembIGge of PrOmi-
nent Figures in Religious and
Civic Life are Entertained.

a mans first allegiance was TO his God,
and next came his allegiance TO his c0un-
try. Cardinal Gibbons praised the Ameri-
can Institutions that permitted to nan the
free worship of the Creator in whatsoever
manner he saw fit. The sentiments OF
the eminent prelate were heartily Endorsed
by Senator Reed SmoOt who said that Cne
loyalty TO country of the man who loved
lis God was far greater than the ale
glance of the man who refused to ac-
knowledge his Creator The senator ex-
pressed the belief that the time would
some day be reached when all mankind
would unite in a common brotherhood Of
belief and that one creed broad enough
for every man would be adopted.

CINE hauling the nOrthbOund train. whose

BIackmaiI Rumored.

A third mysterious character was
brought in the case by Chin Len who
told the police that Box Kun had known
a Chinaman in San Francisco named
LeUng DOnge, who was very much in
love with her, and had recently demanded
5000. The demand, he said, was accom-
panied by the threat that if this sum was
not paid serious harm would come 20 one
or both Little credence was given the
story, as the arrested Chinaman had moth
ing 10 support his statement.
In Chin Len the police believe they
either have the murderer or the man who
can at least solve the mystery. BY his
own admission he obtained possession OF
Bow Kun from a Chinese rescue mission
at No. 920 Sacramento street, San Fran
cisco, through representations.
Tt was he who gave the first alarm that
revealed the murder, and it was in a
room which he sometimes occupied at No.
p Mott street that the six additional dag
gers were found. the seventh having been
left in Bow Kun'S room.

other Evidence.

Also in Chin Lens room a Colts re-
volver and a Colts magazine gun We're
found. hidden behind a trunk which con-
tanned the pretty slave girls wearing ap-
parel and tTinkats. This trunk is very
much like the one in which the body Of
Elsie Sigel was found.
It is known to have been removed from
Bow Kum's rooms at No. Il Mott street
to No. p Mott street, either late Saturday
night or early Sunday. morning, just be
fore the discovery Of the murder
Another Indication that the police al
ready have in their custody the murderer
is the imprint of the bloody hand upon
the wooden shutter thai formed d part
of the door to the Mott IT. eet house. The
measurements Of these tell ale marks are
exactly with the measurements of Chin
Lens right hand
The shutter was taken down today and
removed TO police headquarters by Cap
tain Carey Of the homicide bureau.

Chin Len, an "Americanized" Chinaman,
thirty-One years old, who is known to
have brought Bow Kun to New York
last February, telling that she was his
wife. has been arrested and is held in
the house of detention in default of
$4,000 bail. as a material Witness.
Three other Cinnamon, Quen Cheng,
Wong Sin and QUeng Sing, lived in the
room Immediately under the one occupied
by the girl and Chin Len, We're also ar
rested, as were six white women, said to
be the wives Of Cinnamon, who lived in
the house.
The three last named Cinnamon and the
women were released on small bail dur
ing the day, after it was ascertained that
they could do little if anything TO throw
any light on the crime.
