Flames Caught in Kitchen While

About $3.50

About 4:4O Tuesday afternoon an
alarm of fire was rung in from box q
at the corner of Washington and Elm
streets. The fire department respond
ed quickly, both the Putnam and Stark
Hose companies reaching the box at
practically the same time There is
was learned that the fire was in the
house of James Fox on the upper end
of Putnam street. The Puts carried
their truck to Weeks street and attach
ed their hose to the hydrant there but
lacked several hundred feet of hose of
reaching the scene of the fire. The
Starks tried the hydrant at the corner
of Elm and Putnam streets but from
this point their hose hardly reached
in sight of the Fox house.
BY this time a number of firemen.
Chief of Police Patrick Brazell and
many neighbors had formed a bucket
brigade and were extinguishing the
blaze which apparently was confined
to the wood box in the rear of the kit
chen range The Hook and Ladder
truck arrived in a short time and the
work of putting out the flames was
completed by the fire extinguishers.
The fire was discocered by Grant l..
Harbour who saw smoke pouring from
the house as he drove by, and later
turned in the alarm.
The damage to the house by fire was
slight. Nearly every window and door
in the building was smashed by the fire

household effects of Mr.. Fox practic

Ending Of WrangIe Over Browns
vile Affair
TO BE TRIED BY ARMY BOARD
Bill Passed by Senate Regarded as
only Partial Victory for
Foraker.

Washington, Feb 24-Following
two years of wrangling, investigation,
ordinations, and recriminations be-
tween the White House and certain
senator's, the Brownsville affair" fin
ally was disposed of yesterday by the
passage of a substitute bill granting to
the negro soldiers discharged for their
alleged shooting-up of Brownsville,
Texas, in August 1906, the right to re.
enlist, upon proving their innocence
of the charges.
A military board of five officers,
none to be below the rank of colonel,
is provided for in the measure. This
board will examine into the individual
cases of the discharged men and make
reports from time to time to the sec
rotary of war. The final report of the
Investigators is to be submitted within
one year from the date of the boards
appointment
The bill as passed is regarded as
only a partial victory. for Senator For
aker who has persistently pressed the
demand that justice be done the negro
soldiers 1t does not resemble, except
in minor degree, the bills originally
introduced and intended to correct the
presidents action. The measure is a
compromise, which was drawn and
submitted by Senator Aldrich and
which won the approval of both sides
to the controversy.

EWY0RKCENTRAL
S134,OOO FINE
IS UPHELD
Company Loses Case Before
Supreme Court
REBATES TO SUGAR TRUST
Also Held to Be Criminally Liable as
Party to Rebate Tran
saction.

Washington, Feb. 24-The verdict
of the United States Circuit court for
the Southern District of New York,
imposing a fine of S1OS,OOO upon the
New York Central Railroad company
on the charge of granting rebates to
the American Sugar company was yes
terday affirmed by the Supreme court
of the United States.
The rebates to the American Sugar
Refining company were given on ship
ments of sugar in 1903 from New York
to Cleveland and Detroit Six often
ses were charged and fines of $4,000
each were imposed by the trial court.
The government prosecuted under the
interstate commerce and Elkins laws.
The court also rendered a similar
decision, unfolding the lower court
in the case of a shipment to Cleveland
in which fine of $4,000 was impos-
ed.
The court decided also that rail
road company which is party to a
rebate transaction but was not the
initiatory road can be criminally pros
ecuted for a violation of the Elkins an
thrust law
The New York Central was indicted
for granting rebates on goods shipped
from Poplar Bluff Ia, to Brooklyn, n
Y. 1t pleaded it was only a deliverer
and the court below held it was not
criminally responsible The Supreme
court reverses this finding

surance on his household goods. The
total damage is variously estimated
but will probably be about $3.50.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
for as far as is known no one had been
in the house some time previous to the
discovery of the fire. 1t is supposed
that an overheated stove may have
been the cause of the blaze.

been driven out of all but OF the 90

Why have all these changes come
about in the past Is years? A Yam
kee might answer it by the story Of
the Connecticut boy who had emigra-

cat and five little kittens by neigh

the kittens. But 1t was no use to kill

afterward. This happened in the course Of the
Fourth Of July celebration, and the aeronaut
mistook the promscuous firing of revovers for
the signal to descend.
At the Farmers Carnival at Princeton, Ill.,
on November s. 1905. Peter Kramer, of St
Louis, was dashed against chimney while as
cending in a balloon and experienced a similar
fate. On March s previous, Lester Elkins
twenty years old of San Antonio, Tex, dropped
into the Pacific Ocean from a balloon one mile
from Dead Mans Island near San Pedro Cal,
and the body was never recovered. Less than
month later a woman was drowned in the
breakers quarter of mile from the coast of
Constances, France, where she descended in a
balloon.
There are enthusiasts who in spite of this
grewsome list, aver that aviation is no more
dangerous than automobiling This statement
might be sustained by statistics perhaps in the
same way that figures can be made to prove
railroad travel safer than lying in bed at home
because more people die in their beds than in
railroad smash-ups; but whether these enthu-
siasts are right wrong in their contention
the fact remains that the number Of fatal acct
dents which have befallen aviators lately serves
to show that carelessness by an aviator is. as
a rule, more heavily penalized than careIessness
