eense to marry and were secretly mar
ried in the city on February 4. The
marriage license was issued by Aud

secrecy, and the marriage performed
by Judge Egbers under a similar
mandate, and both of the officials
lived up to the letter and spirit OF the
agreement. and the names of the par
ties involved were made known to
the public for the first time last ev-
ening
A rumor gained currency on the
day that the license was issued and
the marriage performed that a Sc

the parties could not be learned.

more or less plausible, but none OF

County Commissioners Refuse
Licenses to Sell Liquor in
Country Districts

Most of the session of the board
Of county commissioners today was
spent in considering a petition for
road from the head of Bell canyon to
the town of Harrison. An effort to
secure this road has been made by
the residents in this section for the
last two years, but they have been
forestalled by the refusal of five Ital-
ians to grant the necessary right of
way through their lands. The five
ask for damages amounting to $500.
but the board has declined to award
it, and has decided to institute con:
demnation proceedings. The other
matters transacted by the board were
of routine character.
The board last evening decided to
grant the request of the timber inter.
ests and citizens along the st. Maries
to not grant any licenses for the sale
OF Intoxicating liquors in this terri
tory, and hereafter the board will
grant no license to any of the towns
or villages above st. Maries in the
timber district.

Crazed With Grief, Suicides.

MEXICO, CITY, Feb. 16.-Aecord-
ing to dispatch received here today
the scenes enacted during the burn
ing of the Flores theatre were full Of
sorrow and horror. Those who sue
ceeded in making their escape from
the burning structure only to find
some loved one had been left behind
seemed to become crazed with grief,
and in many many instances they had
to be restrained by the firemen from
leaping into the fire, and others
seemed to be determined to take
their lives in other ways. One of the
dispatches received states that a
young and handsome woman who had
husband and small child killed by
the conflagration upon learning of it,
threw herself into the fire, and when
rescued and taken away committed
suicide by swallowing poison.
A City of MOrgues.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. t6.-Acapul-
CO, which lays claim to a population
of 1900 people, is today city of
morgues and hospitals. Everywhere
disorder reigns, and the firemen and
police are unable to control the sit
uation. Six hundred people made
their escape from the burning struc-
ture, but not before many of them
were burned, or otherwise injured.
the suffering of these are intense, and
to aid to the misery and horror of
the situation the supplies of medi-
cine have been exhausted and there
are no means of burying the dead.
The fire was the worst ever known to
history. In some instances whole
families were burned to death, and
many of the dead still remain uniden-
tilted.

MANY LIVES LOST
IN THEATRE FIRE
Intense Heat Prevented Rescue---
Scenes of Horror Terrible

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 16.-Between
$50 and 800 people were burned to
death and many were injured in
fire which destroyed the Flores thea
tire in the city of Acapulco.
The news of the disaster reached
here today, telegraphic communica-
tion having been destroyed, owing to
the fact that the telegraph Office ad-
Joining the theatre was burned and
all wires put out of commission.
The Flores theatre was wooden
structure and last night more than
1000 people crowded into it to wit
ness special performance given in
honor of Governor Damien Flores
of Guerrero. One of the numbers on
the program consisted of a series of
moving pictures. While the operator
was exhibiting these a film caught
fire and blaze was quickly commun-
icated to some bunting which had
been used for decoration purposes.
Many Cruhsed to Death.
In an incredibly short time the
flames spread to all parts of the struc-
ture. There were but three narrow
exits and the panic-stricken audience
rushed to them, many persons falling,
to be crushed to death, their bodies
choking the way of escape for others.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrific. Owing to the rapidity
with which the fire spread and it's in
tense heat, it was impossible to at
tempt rescue work and those impris-
oned were literally roasted to death,
as the fire burned with little smoke,
and few were suffocated.
The efforts of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save
the adjoining buildings and the fire.
men succeeded so well that the prop
erty loss was small. The telegraph
Office, postofice and customs house
were damaged, but all of the gov
eminent recorded and registered mail
were saved.
Today pitiful scenes of grief were
witnessed on the streets of the city.
Men, women and children wandered
about hunting for relatives or friends.
Identification Impossible.
Many of the dead are from the first
families of the state, the affair at the
theatre being a social event of con-
siderable Importance and calling out
the wealthiest and oldest families in
the surrounding country. In some
instances whole families were wiped
out. The municipal authorities to-
day caused large trenches to be dug
and into these the bodies were laid.
Identification has been impossible,
most of the bodies having been
burned to crisp.
Acapulco, on the west coast of the
state of Guerrero, is one of three i'm
portant ports of the Pacific coast of
Mexico. Nearly all of the steamer
lines make it a port of call and the
harbor is accounted the best in Mex
leo.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
American Consul Moorhead at Aca-
pulco, Mexico. today cablegramed the
state department advising it that no
Americans had been killed in the fire
that destroyed the Flores theatre

VAN CLEVE TALKS
TARIFF REFORM
FaYOrs Commission and Removal
of Question From Politics

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 16.-The
national tariff convention convened
here today. The attendance was
large, there being present representa-
tives of industrial and commercial
organizations from all parts OF the
nation from San Francisco to New
York and from Chicago to New Or
leans. James w. Van Cleave made
the address of the day and in part
said:
Gentlemen of the national tarlf
commission convention:
"A question which touches the
welfare OF every man, woman and
child in .the country very closely has
called us together at Indians capt.
tai today. We are here to give con-
crete expression to the demand of the
business men Of the country for the
establishment Of permanent, non.
partisan, impartial tariff commission.
And ! am glad to tell you that in
voicing this demand President-elect
Taft stands with us. Bear in mind
always that we are not discussing
lowering or raising any particular
schedules"
Present Tariff System Defective.
"A few weeks hence President TeGt
will call congress in session to revise
the tariff. In the work of revision
two things ought to be kept in mind
protection for all the producers
who need protection, and revenue for
the government. These things are
not necessarily antagonistic. An in
telligent tariff adjustment would fur
nish both. Therefore free traders
and ultra protectionists are equally
interested in getting this sort OF an
adjustment.
BY our present tariff framing ma
chinery we cannot make this sort of
schedule because:
II. Like mankind in general most
of the persons consulted by the Ways
and Means committee in framing tar
If measures are selfish, and thus are
biased in the interest of their own
Industry.
20. The committee lacks the
knowledge to enable 1t to detect ex-
travagance or distortion In the wit
nesses' statements.
%. Even II the committee had the
knowledge 1t lacks the time to make
the inquiry on which 1t could correct
them.
a. The committee is partisan, as
1t always and necessarily is, under
democratic as under Republican sway.
1T is the system OF tariff framing
and not the individual members of
the ways and means committee or of
congress that is to blame. But, in
dividually and collectively, congress
will be to blame unless 1t abolishes
the system, and gives us the one
which is proposed by the great bust
ness organizations of the country.
In no important operation would
any great business enterprise proceed
In the haphazard manner which con-
gress follows in revising the tariff.
And yet the United States is the big
gest and wealthiest corporation in
In the world. The adjustment or the

STORMY SCENE IN SENATE.
Republican and Democratic Leaders
in War of Words.


BOISE, Idaho, Feb. ia stormy
scene was precipitated in the senate
today by an effort of the minority to
have read a motion by Macbeth en-
bodying report of the minority
members of the state affairs commit
tee, but which had never been read.
The report contained statements that
the capitol building committee has
shown extravaganza and mismanage-
ment In the absence of President
Sweetzer, Hart was in the chair, and
the Fremont senator and Macbeth Of
Custer county hurled words of def
ance at each other. Aroused by the at
titude of Macbeth in appealing from
the decision OF the chair, Hart char
acterized Macbeth's motion as silly,
ridiculous and fiimsy.
Springing from his seat Macbeth
advanced to the desk behind which
Hart sat, His face paled with anger,
and, pounding his fist on the desk,
Senator Macbeth demanded that Hart
retract his insulting words.
''The senator from Custer county
is out of order. VIII he please sit
DOWN." calmly replied Hart. 81 will
never sit down until you have re-
tracted your words" yelled Senator
Macbeth.
II have nothing to retract," spoke
Hart, and Macbeth returned to his
seat.
The motion was read. and Macbeth
moved that 1t be laid on the table,
which was done. the Custer senator
having succeeded in carrying out his
object of having the motion read. In
connection with his motion Macbeth
said: "The chairman has none OF the
instincts of a gentleman. He may bull
doze the majority, but he can't bull
doze the minority"
