JUMPS INTO ICY RIVER
FOR TWO DOLLAR BILL

Youngstown, o., Feb. 1A-'If had 81
1 would go to the dance" said Chris
Graham last night while talking to some
friends in Damey's pool room near the
Mahoning river at Spring common.
"I'll give you 81 If you jump into the
river" replied Charles Saunders, janitor
of the Market street school.
Graham went to the river, followed by
the crowd. He selected a place free
from obstruction and plunged into the
icy current. He got the money and an
hour later appeared at the store dressed
in his best on his way to the ball, none
the worse for his experience and walk of
a half mile home in his wet clothing.

FIRE
IN, HARTER BLOCK AT
EARLY HOUR
This Morning, $1,000 Loss
On Furniture
Besides Damaging the
Building and Stock in
Kenny Bros. Store
Parrot Roasted Alive
Diamonds Lost.
Mondays Morning News.)

Fire causing a loss of $1,000 on fur
niture and several hundred dollars to
the building, occurred in apartments
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. w. P. Nor
gan, in the Harter block, over Ken
ny Brothers department store, about
1890 O'Clock Monday morning.
The rooms occupied by the Morgans
are located in the rear end of the
building, facing West Eighth and
South Court streets. Mrs. Morgan had
with her Irene and Florence Gra-
bowsky, who expected to remain with
her during the night. Her sister, Mrs.
Joseph Trommenschlager, was also
present and arrangements were being
made to take bath. In order to get
some night robes, Mrs. Trommen-
schlager lit a match and commenced
looking in the wardrobe for the gar
ments. The match fell on some cot
ton materials in the bottom of the
wardrobe, it is believed, and ignited
the infammable material unnoticed.
A short time later, when this room
was again entered the fire was dis
covered and the alarm sent to the cen
trail engine house, only short dis
tance away. The flremen responded
hurriedly, but before they could put
their ladders to the windows a couch
and some of the bedding had taken
fire. Siezing these and many other
articles of furniture and bedding they
were hurled into the street The car
pets were ruined by fire and all of
the wearing apparel possessed by Mr..
and Mrs. Morgan was burned. In the
excitement that followed Mrs. Morgan
forgot several valuable diamonds on
the top of dresser and when the fire.
men arrived and threw streams from
tho chemical apparatus and Babcock
eXtinguisher the diamonds were wash
ed away. One of the rings contain
ing valuable diamond was found
later, while they were still searching
for several others at late hour. A
parrot, owned by the Morgans, was
roasted alive, The two children were
carried to places of safety when the
fire started and no person received in
juries.
It was thought at first that no dam.
age would be done TO the stock in the
Kenny store. An investigation after
the fire was subdued proved otherwise
Much of the water from the chemical
apparatus went through the floor to
the room below, reaching some of the
counters upon which goods were dis.
played and shelves upon which goods
were stored. The firemen spread oil.
cloth over some of the goods, saving
them from being damaged.
The building is insured, but 1t is
said that Mr.. Morgan carried no in.
surance on his household goods.
The sounding of box IL. located al
the central engine house, brought 6
number of the fire companies, but
their services were not needed.

OPPRESSION

The public has not been informed us
to whether the action for criminal libel
against Joseph Pulitzer and his Press
Publishing company. which issues the
New York World, has been brought in
the name of Theodore Roosevelt, one
of his creatures. or in the name of the
government. The point, however, is
not material.
Roosevelt urged that the government
prosecute Pulitzer because Pulitzer
dared to criticise him in connection
with the Panama canal deal. Being
president, Mr.. Roosevelt also assumed
that he was the state" or the United
States and that his personal opinions
and his acts are sacred and unassailable
Therefore, any criticism of anything
that he might choose to do or think or
say, was an Otfcnsc against the United
States
And it is well understood today that
whether Theodore Roosevelt or one of
his sycOphants swore to Il complaint
against Pulitzer and his associates or
"HcbllcT GncTc WaS no complaint, the
prosecution will be backed by all the
forces of the federal government at the
rmmand of Theodore Roosevelt.
In the opinion of the mad president,
the blind publisher has committed lose-
majestic and the government must crush
him.
No predecessor of Theodore Roosevelt
has ever assumed any personal right
not vouchsafed to any other citizen Of
the United States. No predecessor of
the rough rider has ever cried "lese-
majestic, and no other man who was
over president of the United States ever
brought the powers Of the government
into play to prosecute those who have
dared to criticise him. 1t remained for
the rough rider to violate this precedent
as he has violated Others.
The Pulitzer prosecution is IL fitting
climax to the career of mock. imperial
ism, iingoism, extravaganza, folly and
madness which is the administration of
Theodore Observation-Disclosures City Post.
