Seventy Workmen Caught in BIsz-
ing Prison on the Temporary
Water Crib Structure.
LEAP FROM FLAMES TO WATER.
Hundreds of Persons, Power1ess 20
Give Relief, Witness Struggles
of Laborers from Shore.

Many workmen were believed 90
have lost their lives and more than a
score were injured Wednesday mOrn-
ing in fire which destroyed the intGc
mediate crib ia Lake Michigan, a mile
and half off list street, Chicago, used
by George w. Jackson, the contractor,
In the construction of a new water
tunnel. Estimates of the fatalities
ranged from twenty to thirty-siX. Sew
enty men, who lived at the crib and
worked in shifts, were OH the structure
when the fire broke out. Many of these
were burned TO death before they could
reach the doors. Others. their clothes
afiame, leaped into the icy water re-
CARELESS of the results. A number, un-
able to swim, sank beneath the surface.
Others swan to cakes of ice to support
themselves until the arrival of relief.
Starts from Powder Explosion.
The fire originated in the powder
magazine on the first landing, Many
of the employees were asleep in hunks,
and others were just going to work,
when a sheet of fame shot through the
building. The alarm spread rapidly.
ChicagoanS who heard Of the impend-
ing disaster were appalled, when they
learned that over seventy workmen
at the crib were completely isolated
from the shore. Smoke could be faint
ly seen putting up 5000 feet away,
where a light mist lay over the water.
Occasionally tongue of red flame
f1ared up. An alarm was sent at once
to South Chicago, where the fire tug
Conway was stationed.
The crowds on the shore watching
the distant blaze with it's plume of
black smoke, the squad of men on the
adjoining crib and those working from
the fire tug Conway, which had been
hurrid through the ice foes from its
station in South Chicago to the scene
of the confiagration, were greatly
alarmed when it was learned that three
tons of dynamite were stored in the
substructure of the burning crib. The
flames spread rapidly, and it was but
few moments when the crib was a
mass of flames. Hundreds of persons
gathered on the shore to watch the
fire, but were powerless to render aid.
sAmbulances were on hand, but the i'm
prisoned men could not be reached.

the reputation of being the most cool
headed and scientific officer in the Rus
sian navy. He distinguished himself
in the Russo Turkish war of 1877 and
was promoted to commander in 1885
In 1902 he was made vice admiral
and was in far eastern waters at the
time of the Chino-Japanese war.
In the summer of 1904 he started
with the second Russian Atlantic
squadron from the Baltic for Vladi-
vostok. On the way some British fish
ing boats were fired on and strained
relations with that country resulted.
Arriving in the far east Admiral Ro-
jestvensky was joined by other Rus
sian vessels and then had fifty-siG
ships under his command. May 27-28,
1905, occurred the battle of the Sea
of Japan, in which the Russian fleet
was practically annihilated and it's
commander taken prisoner.
A naval court of inquiry sitting in
st. Petersburg in 1906, indicted Ad-
miraI Rojestvensky for surrendering
to the Japanese, but he was acquitted
on the plea that at the time the sur
render was made he was unconscious
from injuries received in the fight.

$500" LINE IN CHICAGO.

Negotiations for the Purchase o.
Wisconsin Central Completed.
The Canadian 500 Line has finally Sc
cured its long-coveted entrance into Chi
cago. Official announcement was made
Friday that negotiations for the purchase
of the Wisconsin Central by the Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie
Railway Company, commonly called the
500 Line, were practically completed. The
500 Line is owned by the Canadian Pa,
cifc, which is a government road with
Sir Thomas Shaughnessy as it's presi-
dent The change of ownership of the
Wisconsin Central, the purchase being
upon the basis of a guarantee of 4. per
cent upon the $12,5O0,OO0 of preferred
stock, means that Chicago is to have an
other through road to the Pacific coast.
1t is not unlikely that the consolidated
system will run through passenger trains
between Chicago and Winnipeg and Chi
cago and Vancouver, If not between Chi
cago and Duluth.

KILLED IN BIG COLLISION.
Passenger Train in Colorado Crashes
Into Double Head Freight.

Passenger Train in Colorado Crashes
Into Double Head Freight.
Twenty-one persons were killed and
thirty injured, many of them seriously,
in a head-On collision between west
bound passenger train No. 3 and an
east bound freight train on the Denver
and Rio Grande Railroad, between Dot
serO and Spruce Greek, twenty-five
miles from Glenwood Springs, Colo.
While nothing official has been given
out as to the cause of the wreck, it is
said to have been due to a misunder-
standing of orders on the part OF En-
gineer Gustaf Olson of the passenger
train. Olson, however, claims he un-
derstood his instructions perfectly, but
that he misread his watch, thus en-
croaching on the time of the freight
train, which was being drawn by two
engines, the first of which was in
charge of his brother, Sig Olson. The
two trains met on steep grade.

Governor George E. Chamberlain, a
Democrat, was elected Tuesday by a
Republican Legislature as United
States Senator from Oregon, thus solv-
ing the problem of choosing Senators
by popular vote without infringing on
the Constitution of the United States.
Popular will triumphed, backed by
strong peoples lobby determined to see
that the members of the Legislature
carried out the instructions given at
the polls. A suggestion of extreme
measures for any violating pledges
helped keep all in line. 1t was also
declared that the ''recall' would be
used on offending lawmakers.
With the Republicans in a majority,
many party leaders hoped to secure one
of their political faith chosen as sue
cessor to Senator Charles w. Fulton,
despite the voters instructions, and
campaign with this object in view had
been carried on, but without result.
Tuesdays ballot was by the houses
separately, and the result was ratified
by a vote in joint session wednesday.
IL the House Chamberlain was given
81 votes and in the Senate 10, total

sary to bring about the election.

same moment he snatched a diamond neck
lace from the neck Of the Wilson woman
and escaped to the street. Betsy Smith
followed him and Clarke fired a shot into
her shoulder, inf1icting a dangerous
wound. Her screams brought Patrolman
Smith to the scene and Clarke at once
began shooting at him, firing two bullets
into his body. Smith raised himself to

Twenty-Five thousand persons went
out on strike Friday and seventy-fye
hat factories in New England and the
North Atlantic States have been tied up
as a result of a decision of the Asso-
ciated Hat Manufacturers to discon-
tinue the use of the union label. Sam
uel Mundheim, president of the asso-
citation, said that the order followed
the refusal of union employees of the
Guyer Hat Company in Philadelphia to
keep working agreement. Under this
agreement, he said, the men were TO
continue work until a settlement Of
pending questions was reached, but the
men quit work in that factory three
weeks ago and have since refused to
return.
4 Martin Lawlor, secretary of the
United Hatters of North America, said:
'"The cause of the trouble was the re-
fusal of the Guyer company to live up
TO their contract with us, not any re-
fusal of ours to live up to our contract
with them. The statement that the
men in the Philadelphia factory quit
work is misleading"
The chief factories affected are in
New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia,
Newark and Orange, N. j., and in Dan
bury, South Norwalk and New Mil
ford, Conn.

KING MANUEL FEARS DEATH.
Portuguese Ruler, IncurabIy III, Is
I'm Danger CT Assassination

Portuguese Ruler, 1ncuEaDIy III, Is
I'm Danger CT Assassination
Young King Manuel is believed to be
incurably i'll and in the event of his death
there will be no one TO succeed to the
throne of Portugal. His condition is ag.
gravated by fear of assassination. The
king has no brothers or sisters, and if he
should die before he is married there
would be no heir direct. His uncle, the
Duke of Oporto, is heir-apparent, but he
has declared that nothing could induce
him to assume the crown. Under these
conditions the deah of Manuel would jeop-
ardize the monarchy. 1t would give the
pretenders to the, throne an opening and
encourage the republicans. In all proba-
bility it would result in revolution. That
the boy king is seriously affected with
lung trouble is unquestioned.
