the Flores theater in the city of
Acapulco IL Is reported that some
Americans are among the dead.
kilograms sent TO the American
consul at Acapulco asking for the
names OF the American dead have not
been answered.
The news OF the disaster was late
in reaching the capital, due to tele-
graphic communication with Acapulco
being destroyed and owing TO the fact
that the telegraph Office adjoining the
theater was burned and all wires put
out OF commission.
The Flores theater was wooden
crowded into II TO witness a special
performance given In honor OF Govern
or Damian Flores, OF the state Of Guer-
rero who was visiting the house at
the time.
One OF the numbers on the program
consisted OF a series OF moving pic
lures. While the operator was exhibit
ing these a film caught fire and the
blaze was quickly communicated to
some bunting which had been used
for decorative purposes.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread to all parts OF the struc.

JUDGE ROASTS CONVICT SHEA
CALLS LABOR LEADER "BRUTEn
WHEN PASSING SENTENCE.

NEW YORK. July 23.-Cornelius P.
Shea, the former Chicago labor leader,
who was found guilty Wednesday Of at
tempting to murder Alice Walsh, for
mer Chicago waitress. with whom he had
been living here, was sentenced today to
not less than five nor more than twenty
five years in prison. The former presi-
dent Of the International Brotherhood Of
Transfers listened stolidly to Judge Fos-
ter's scathing remarks in pronouncing
sentence.
"Your services for humanity are urged
here in your behalf" said the court, be
cause you have been active In the affairs
of organized labor. / believe in the right
Of labor to organize, but there Is a preju-
dice in this community. and we must adj
nit its existence, against organized labor,
because such men as you dominate 1t
with your brutal methods and your
coarse. offensive personality, and a part
of the community has come to look upon
organized labor as being composed OF
brutes and securing their victories by
brutal methods. But that Is all wrong.
l believe i am helping the cause of or
ganized labor by Kidding it of one such
as you and sending you to states prison."

SPECIAL APPEAL IS ALLOWED
PATENTS COMMISSIONER AP-
PLIES TO APPELLATE COURT.
Controversy Over the Intention OF
Tungsten Filaments for 1ncan-
descent Electric Bulbs.

The District Court OF Appeals today
allowed a special appeal to Edward b.
Moore. commissioner Of patents, from
the recent decision of Justice Barnard OF
the District Supreme Court granting a
Heany. a York. Pa, inventor, who was
acquitted in the local Criminal Court last
December OF the charge of "doctoring''
his application papers for patents for
tungsten filaments for incandescent
electric bulbs.
The commissioner attempted an exami-
nation into the question Of whether the
applications were fraudulent and whether
some of them had not been abandoned.
Heany sued for an injunction. The
commissioner filed a demurrer, which
Justice Barnard overruled. and, although
declining to decide the merits of the con-
trovery, granted an injunction against
the commissioner. and advised the taking
Of testimony by the patent ONCE to sus-
tain it's claim Of alleged fraud.
In his application to the Appellate Court
for q special appeal, the order not being
appealable. Mr.. Moore declared that had
the merits of the question been deter
mined on the demurrer In his favor the
matter would have been ended. but that
the action OF the lower court would make
it necessary to expend q large amount
be unnecessary should the Appellate Court
sustain his demurrer.

eral J. c. Adkins and Attorney Frank
c.. Skinner represent the patent Office,
and Attorneys Charles A. Douglas, J. H.
Hayden, Marcus Bailey, ]. H. Bricken-

WAR DISPATCHES CENSORED
SPAIN FORBIDS PRINTING OF
BATTLE NEWS.
Tribesmen Expected to Make Vicious
Night Attack on Enemy
Near Mount Gurugu.

MADRID, via Badajos, the Portu-
guese frontier, July 23.-The Spanish au-
thorities are exercising a rigorous GEN.
sorship over the publication of news re-
garding the war between the Spaniards
and the Kabyle tribesmen on the Riff
coast Of Morocco. Nothing except official
dispatches is allowed to be printed and
communication by telephone to the pro-
vincial newspapers has been stopped.
The government considers the measures
justified on the ground of military neces-,
sity and because of the anti-patriotic
campaign being conducted by the liberal
and republican press. The entire edition
of Ell Pals was conflscated today. and all
the republican clubs were closed.
To Be Tried for Sedition.
The persons arrested yesterday in con-
nection with the demonstrations against
the departure of the troops will be
charged with sedition and tried before a
court-martial. The outside world, the
government officials declare, should un-
derstand, however that the liberals and
republicans are exploiting the unpopu-
larity Of the war for political purposes
and they are suspected by the authori-
ties of melting to resistance the reserv-
lists who were forced in many cases to
leave their families without support.
In response to a telegram from a group
of liberal and republican deputies de-
handing the convocation Of parliament,
Premier Maura replied that, without de-
string to ignore parliament, he considers
that the demand was based on q false
conception of the situation. as events in
Africa in nOwise modified the policy Of
the government.
The government announced today the
opening of subscriptions throughout the
country for the benefit of families of re-
servists sent to Melilla.
Night Attack Probable.
MELILLA. Morocco. July %. The
Moorish tribesmen have divided their
forces into two columns, one concentrat-
ing at Souk-Mazuza and the other on
the slopes of Mount Gurugu. 1t is be-
lieyed the tribesmen contemplate q night
attack on the Spanish positions.

RAPS BRIBERY AND GIFT eIvERS
RANDEL1
OFFERS A RESOLUTION.
Asks Appointment Of Judiciary
Committee at Once to Consider
Amending the Law.

Openly charging that "the Congress and
the courts had received and were receive
ing valuable gifts, employment or COM
pensation from public service corpora
tons. trusts and persons engaged in in
terstate commerce, or having an interest
in legislation. Mr.. Randell Of Texas in
the House today presented a resolution
directing the Speaker Immediately to ap-
point the judiciary committee. so that 1t
may consider the question of amending
the law so as to prohibit such conduct.
Mr.. Randell declared that the opponents
Of such legislation had not only succeed
ed in preventing the passage of a law Of
that character, but had even suppressed
discussion of such measures on the floor
of the House. Looking the facts square
ly in the face" he said, 1.-The conclusion
forced upon us causes a blush to mantle
the cheek of every patriot and self-re-
specting man.
Organized Plunderers.
No man, he said, could serve two mas
tiers. 1t was. he contended, "a pitiable
but uncontrovertible fact" that the disin-
terested and faithful servants of the peo-
pie are helpless "in the present contest
against the organized plunderers Of the
nations wealth.
He declared that the beneficiaries of
special interests. "entrenched In power
and firmly combined with the dominant
political party" openly derided the Amer
Jean people and brutality demanded the
pound of flesh. Should the committee
be appointed, he said. there SHOULD be
passed q law that would '.sever the con-
nection of the servants Of the people
from the interests that now control U.S."
Never until officers. agents. representa-
tives and attorneys of parties interested
in legislation are forced to cease such
employment or are driven from the halls
of Congress could a tariff bill be passed
or legislation enacted consistent with
the rights, the honor and the great name
OF the American people"
The resolution was voted down.
