BUILDING CODE INTRODUCED AT
ALDERMEN'S MEETING IS DRASTIC
ASSEMBL lyman MARTIN GETS A RESOLUTION
THROUGH REGARDING THE RAILROAD TAX.

sary to satisfactory solution Of the
financial problem, Mr Martin urged that
the resolution be passed at once.
Majority Leader Lewis, following the
reading Of the resolution, moved its
reference to the Judiciary committee,
saying that it was the proper course to
pursue. Assemblyman Sullivan, min
GRITTY leader, protested against the com
mitmeDt, arguing that the resolution on
ly asked for information concerning a
matter which it was important for the
House to be advised about at the very
earliest possible moment.
In vibrant voice, Mr.. Martin took up
verbal cudgels in favor of his resolu-
tion, and insisted that it was not mat
ter that should be jockeyed with in
committee simply because he was the
author Just because 1 have intro
duced the resolution, there is no rea-
son for its being sidetracked and sup
pressed said Mr. Martin.
Assemblymsn Kenny supported Nj.
Martin 8 position and was followed by
Mr.. Scharf, of Bergen, and Mr.. Vreden-
burgh, of Monmouth, both republicans
of Irregular stamp, who showed indI-
cations Oh breaking away lIom inc
leadership of Mr.. Lewis on this ques-
tion by declaring that they believed
that the Martin resolution should be
adopted without delay. There were in
dications of other members following
suit, when Speaker Prince, foresee ng
the probable setback for the majority
leader, suggested that as no one had
seconded the latter's motion to commit,
the gentleman from Burlington should
withdraw it. Mr.. Lewis Immediately
acquiesced.
On roll call the resolution was adopt
ed unanimously.

took a large amount Of testimony,
and reported conditions with much
accuracy and impartiality. It's re-
port Is quite voluminous. The sta
tistics which accompany it, and the
details which 1t gives, are Of ines
timable value in understanding the
excise question in this state.
"Its recommendations are many
and are worthy of careful considera-
ton at the hands of the legislature.
Some of its recomm endations are
quite radical.
There are two reports ma
jofity and minority report. 1t
would require too much space to
summarize the recommendations of
the majority and minority reports.
Both these reports should be print
ed, and If 1t be the pleasure of the
legislature, also recommend that
the evidence taken by the com mis-
sion be printed. There is quite a
large amount of testimony, but 1t is
exceedingly valuable.
"The statistics which the commits
sion report in regard to the number
Of licensed places in the state; the
rates of license fees in the different
municipalities, and the summary of
their statistical work, are admirable
and very Illuminating.
Both the majority and minority
reports, together with the evidence,
the statistical tables and the sum-
mary. are herewith presented to the
legislature for such action as 1t may
choose to take In relation thereto.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN FRANKLIN FORT,
Governor"

POLICE MEASURES
LAID over TWO WEEKS

Patrolman L. G. Jensen was at Tren.
ton yesterday afternoon in the interest
Of two police bills which were expected
to be voted ON at the assembly session.
Other matters, Mr. Jensen says, took
up so much time that neither bill was
reached.
The fish and game bill prepared by
Mr.. Jensen and which was introduced
by Assemblyman MeKeag will be given
a hearing in committee next week. Mr..
Jensen was preparing another game bill
but says that it will probably never
be introduced, as Assemblyman McKeag
has one which covers the question more
fully.
The two police bills have been laid
over for two weeks and, when they are
taken up, Mr.. Jensen, who is the local
delegate of the State Patrolmen s Asso-
citation, will probably attend.

City Of Mexico, Feb. 1e.-As the re-
suit of twenty hours Of untiring effort
on the part of a relief corps Of soldiers
and citizens, 290 crushed and burned
bodies have been taken from the black
ened ruins and debris of the Flower
theater at Acapulco.
The work of search Is still going on,
and according to the best information
the number of dead will exceed 800.
Dispatches state that ten Americans,
itors in Acapulco, are among the dead
The theater was q wooden structure
and over 1000 people crowded into it
to witness a special performance given
In honor Of Governor Damian Flores
Of the state of Guerre, who was visit
ing tho city.
One Of the numbers Of the program
consisted Of a series Of moving pic
lures. while the operator was exhib-
iting these Aim caught fire, and a
blaze was quickly communicated to
some unsel which had been used for
UccohUVe pukVVccn.
The flames made rapid headway, and
such q long time elapsed before any
water WAS available that the ground
floor and balcony were swept by fierce
flames. The balcony and gallery fell
IN, and great timbers fell upon the
panic stricken mass Of people under
meath.
Within FIVE minutes the flames
spread to all parts of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits,
and the panic stricken audience rushed
to them, many falling, to be crushed
to death, their bodies choking the way
to escape to others.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapidi-
ty with which the fire spread and its
intense heat 1t was impossible to at
tempt rescue work, and those impris-
oned were literally roasted alive, as
the Are burned with little smoke and
few were suffecated
The efforts Of the FIRE department
were confined to attempting to save
the adjoining buildings. and in this
they partly succeeded.
The telegraph Office, postoffice and
custom house were damaged. but all
Of the governments records and regis
tered mail were saved.
Pitiful scenes of grief are being en-
acted on the streets of the town. Men,
women and children are wandering
from place to place hunting for rels-
tives or friends.
Many Of the dead are from the first
families Of the state, the affair at the
theater being social event of consid-
erable Importance and calling out the
wealthlest and oldest families fer
miles around. In some instances en-
tire families were wiped out Of ex-
istence.
The municipal authorities caused
large trenches to be dug. and into these
the remains of the dead were laid.
According to kilograms received
from there, recognition of the dead
has been an impossibility, owing tothe
fact that the bodies were either burned
to a crisp or crushed and mangled.

Chicago, Feb. 16:-This city was
swept by another blizzard last night
which continues today with all the Sc

DAILY MARKET LETTER
 AND STOCK QUOTATIONS

BOSTON, June l5.-The copper share market was dull and inclined toward weakness. Heaviness of Amalgamated and the rest of the New York list has been the chief influence in depressing values here. The government prosecu- tion of the sugar trust has been the most disturbing factor in the financial situation. The metal market showed no change in prices, but sales were very Fight, and demand on'y nominal. North Butte was again easy. There seems to be absolutely no support to this stock just now and it is sinking through its own weight. It is possible we may see somewhat lower prices before a re- action; but believe present movement is only temporary, and that it will show quick turn for the better on the first sign of strength in New York.

". II. Hamilton, mechanical engin- eer for the Cactus Development com pany, and J. L. McIver, superintend ent, were stopping at the Dominion hotel yesterday. Mir. Hamilton brings welcome news about the Cactus mines, which lie about fifteen miles southwest of the city and about five miles from Miami.
 It will be remembered that the Cac- tus Development company placed it's stock on the market last November at 50 cents per share. It is no matter of memory to say. now that it is selling at S3.6S. It's rise has been phenomenal and the demand for it has been steadily increasing. The most of the stock was hoated in the larger eastern cities such as Duluth, Boston, Philadelphia and New York. The brokers of those cit 'ies say that it sells better than any stock on the curb market. At over six times more than the original price per share there is practically none obtain able.
 The property of the Cactus Develop ment company now includes thirty eight claims. Of this number, nine are held under bond from the Pinto Copper company, the provision being that 5l

will be ready for use today and the work of sinking the shaft will be at once resumed. The shaft is a three compartment affair, and judging by the depth at which the ore vein has been struck in several shafts of neigh boring mines the large deposits will be found at depth of not less than 500 feet while the indications are that the bulk of the mineral lieb six or seven hundred feet from the surface.
 The sinking of the Iron Cap shaft has been discontinued temporarily at the GOO foot level. On the fifth and sixth levels large flow of water was struck, but not more than the pumps were able to handle easily. As the shaft is not being worked at present, only enough water is being pumped to supply the camp of Copper Hill and to run the boilers of the new hoist now being erected at the Williams shaft. On the 450 foot level of the Iron Cap shaft, over 1000 feet of drifting has been done.

regarding the machinery necessafy for an up-to date mining plant.
 Meanwhile, the Cactus camp is grow ing into the dignity of good-sized village. The company has just fin ished building thirty substantial houses Ia accommodate the single men em- ployed. Also two houses of two rooms each and three four.room houses have just been erected for families. The camp is prettily situated in group of oaks in the Pinto Creek valley, and Mr. Hamilton says that he finds the weather as cool and living as comforta- ble there as he does in town.
 c. w. Pritchett. general manager and consulting engineer for the Cactus De velopment company, is expected to ar rive here Sunday, and he will visit the mines before he leaves. Superintend ent T. w. Hamilton will probably take a vacation trip to Cloudcroft, Los An geles and other points within week or two.

THE FuMARoLE

At the Fumarole mine near Stafford, where Superintendent R. J. Young is in charge with force of about thirty five men, drifting is going on and large quantities of ore are being blocked out. This ore has good percentages of gold and also shows considerable silver. The promise that this well-known mine gives of being richly paying ono is shown by the returns from assays of more than 600 specimens. In not more than two or three instances was there an absence of mineral, while the rest of the samples showed gold in values of from $l to $l00 ton. This mine is noteworthy among those indi- eating that Arizona will some day yield the yellow metal in great quan- titles.
 President Frank A. Woodward ex- poets to leave here for Boston the lat ter part of next week. He will stay east through the hot summer season.

NEW YORK, June l5.-An effective element of the professional operators in stocks gathered the courage today to attack prices of stocks with vigor, and succeeded in precipitating a sharp fall in prices. No threatening develop ment was discernible to account for the apparent urgency with which stocks were pressed for sale. The weakness was attributed generally to technical causes. Some of the sellers of stocks professed apprehension that the publication of the report of Gov. ernor Hughes commission on exchange would have an unfavorabie effect on the market.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales s6,322, ,000 United States bonds un- changed.
