About 100 more strike breakers ar
rived here today and were distributed
among the various hat shops of the
Associated Hat Manufacturers to fiji
the places of union hatters who are
out. Policemen are stationed at each
factory to prevent trouble. A conflict
between the strike breakers and the
union men may occur late today, when
the days work is over. Such a clash
took place yesterday at ]. Rummel
Company's factory.
The manufacturers believe that they
will be able in time to get sufficient

find in this city.
Pickefs the Alert.
The union hatters have half dozen
or more men doing picket duty at each
of the hat shops to induce applicants
for work not to seek employment, and
they have pickets at the different rail-
road stations.
While the union men are looking
after their side of the trouble the union
trimmers, weighers and feeders are
also guarding the approaches to the
hat shops to intercept women seeking
work
Richard Lowe, president of the Hat.
ters' Local No. IA, told Judge Hahn in
the Third Precinct Police Court today
that Harry Schnable, bookkeeper for
the Runmell Company, at the head of
eleven members of Battery A, of East
Orange, In full uniform, marched
around the factory on Lincolns Birth

gage in battle with the strikers who
looked on in amazement.

Assault Case Falls Flat.
The charge against Valentine Geb-
hard, of 32 Mulberry street, which was
made by John c. Carlin, of SS4 Broad
street, for assault and battery at the
Rummell factory yesterday, was prac-
tically dismissed, as Judge Hahn sus-
pended sentence. Carlin is in the en-
ploy of the Central Service Agency,
who procure men to fill the places of
the strikers and guarantee the strike
breakers protection from harm. 1t was
while Carlin was escorting one of the
men to the cars that the alleged assault
is said to have taken place. CarIin
alleges that Gebhardt struck him. and
at his instigation Roundsman Kellett
arrested the man.
The Independent hat shops are work
Ing overtime to keep up with the de-
mand for union-made hats, owing to
the shortage of the supply formerly
filled by the Associated Hat Manufac-
turers.

nanded just now. as the busy season

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.---No Ameri-
cans lost their lives in the fire which
destroyed the Flores Theatre, at Aca-

TO dispatch received at the State de-

Maxwell Is, Moorehead.
More than two hundred people were
burned to death, according to Consul

MEXICO CITY. Feb. 16.-Between $50
and 800 people were burned to death
and many were injured in a fire which
destroyed the Flores Theatre, in the
,ity of Acapulco on Sunday night.
The news OF the disaster reached this
capital yesterday afternoon, telegraphic
communication with Acapulco having
been destroyed and all wires put out
of commission.
The Flores Theatre was a wooden
structure, and more than one thousand
persons crowded into it to witness a
special performance given in honor Of
Governor Damian Flores of the State
Of Guerrero, who was visiting the city
st the time.
One of the numbers on the program
consisted of a series of moving pictures
While the operator was exhibiting these
Aim caught fire and 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 structure
There were only three narrow exits
and the panic stricken audience rushed
to thenl many falling, to be crushed
to death, their bodies choking the way
TO escape for others.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrifying. Owing to the rapidity
with which the fire spread and It's In
tense heat 1t was impossible to attempt
rescue work, and those imprisoned
were literally roasted alive as the fire
burned with little smoke, and few were
suffocated.
The efforts of tine fire department
were confined to attempting to save
the adjoining buildings, and they suc-
ceeded, so that the property loss was
small. The telegraph Office, postoffics
and custom house were damaged, but
all of the governments records and
registered mail were saved.
Today pitiful scenes of grief are
being enacted on the streets Of the
little west coast port. Men, women,
and children are wandering from place
TO place hunting for relatives or
friends. Many of the dead are from
the first families of the state. the ar
fair at the theatre being a social event
of considerable importance and calling
out the wealthiest and oldest families
for miles around. In some instances
entire families were wiped out of exist
ence.
The. municipal authorities today
caused large trenches to be dug, and
into these the bodies of the dead were
laid
According to kilograms received from
there, recognition of the dead has been
an ippossibility on account of the fact
that the bodies were burned, in most
cases, to crisp.

state of Guerrero, is one of the three
important ports of the Pacific coast of

he did about babies and while he did
not want to give up the kid, yet he
wanted someone to take care of 1t

intimations of opposition to the adop-
ton Of the conference report on the

said twenty-eight republican votes
would be cast against the bill in
the house. but later the republican
leaders expressed their confidence
that the report would be adopted with
a margin of ten votes.
Most Of the opposition is from
those opposed to free hides, although
other PROVISIONS have also aroused re
sentiment. The most intense feelini
in the senate came from the souther.

also much fault found with the in

the leaders say not that many can
be secured by the insurgents.
After over an hour had been spent
in reading a portion Of the tariff bill
in the house, the reading was dis
pensed with. Representative Dalzell
presented a resolution providing that
no provision in this bill should be
subject to a point of order and that
the debate should be continued not
later than o'clock tonight, when
the report should be voted on. Minor
