earthed by the Carnegie Hero Fund
Commission while investigating an act
of heroism reported to it. The story be-
came public today when the commits
sion announced that II more heroes had
| been added to the list. George F. Burba
of Dayton, Ohio, is the lucky newspa-
per man, who under rare difficulties,
rescued Catherine Murty, IL years old,
from drowning at Snidersville, Ohio,
Aug. IL last. Mr.. Burba is editor of the
Dayton Daily News and as he had no
mortgages the commission could pay
off, and his children were adequately
educated, the only way in which the
commission could recognize his act was
to award him a bronze medal.
Five silver and - bronze medals
were awarded and about $4,000 in mon
ey. The acts of heroism include res
cues from drowning, electrocution,
trains, fire and suffocation.
The foods in the Hooking valley in
March, 1907, again figure in the
awards Jessie +. Patterson of Athens,
Ohio, receiving silver medal for res
cuing three persons from drowning at
that time.

Singing Was Also a Feature
Of the Meeting.
Services at City HALL Today at

Everybody sing" said Mr.. Allen last
night at City hall and everybody sang

vice. The last week Of the campaign
began last night and was launched on
a full tide of song. Mr.. Allen made
everybody sing, even the reporter sang
the ushers sang, the big fire whistle
tried it once, but had to give up, it was
no use competing with that crowd.
Mr.. Aliens sacred medleys are
unique in the way Of Gospel song and
always prove very popular; strains
from several familiar songs follow each
other in succession and the effect is
very pleasing. He will repeat one of
these by special request Thursday
evening.
A collection was taken for the work
of the local Salvation Army amounting
to $24.14.
DR. Gray spoke on the sins of high
life taking his text from the Book of
Daniel, the story of Belshazzar's Feast.
He told the story Of that famous
scene in graphic language and showed
how many of the vices of Babylon were
common today. The speaker declared
that he had Travelled in well nigh every
state in the union. This is his first trip
to Maine and he spoke good word for
the Maine law. He regarded it as the
best law for the control of the liquor
traffic The conditions in this city he
declared to be infinitely better than
they could be under license.
"BclshaZZar's sin was a sin Of pro-
faning holy things. He took the holy
vessels from the temple and drank

if he hadn't taken wine; men do e; q
whole lot of things under the iuSlnaSfce
of drink that they would never have
done otherwise. M
Bekhazzar's sin was sin or idolatry.
They worshipped the Gods of brass
and silver and gold. We do not bow
the knee to idols now, but we do forget
God and worship gold and silver; brass
and stone.
Then came the handwriting on the
WALL the sentence Of woe. In the midst
of his wickedness a hand arrested him.
Many also are destined to be interrupt
ed in their sins unexpectedly. Inc
man who in his miserly soul has no
thought of others woes and is I'M
touched by the needs of others may
save and hoard and keep his money
and count his gold till he IS as yellow
as the gold itself, he counts and counts
and hardens his heart against all who
should share it with him and one day
the hand that wrote on Babylon's wall
touches his life and he is dead with his
gold unused and his life mis-spent.
When you and I come to that last
hour that day of judgment may you
have Jesus Christ to stand by you and
smite the death threatening wave be-
fore you.
The people of Johnstown laughed at
the governor of Pennsylvania when
they were warned that the dam above
the town was weak. God tells you it is
an awful thing to die in your sin. You
say l am not going to be frightened
and you go on and on in sin and it is
an awful thing to live in sin. But sin
may be taken out OF heart and life

Perish in Flames Which
Destroy a Factory
A Score Of Men and Girls in
Hospitals at Philadelphia.
Several Of the Injured In Critical
Condition...Panic on Stairs.

| PHILADELPHIA Jan. 19.-Four persons
lost their lives in a fire that today de-
stroyed six-story factory building
at 200 and 202 Chancellor street in the
heart Of the produce market section of
the city. About 20 men and girls are
| in hospitals suffering from burns and
| injuries received in jumping from win
dows. There were about 100 men, wo-
men and children employed by various
small firms in the building and the
widest rumors of large loss of life
were in circulation. The interior of
the building was burned out
Chief Baxter of the fire department
at 3 F. NJ, said he had made a thor
ough search and believed there were
no bodies in the ruins. He believed all
the missing will turn up The known
dead stands at four, with several per-
sons in a critical condition in the hos
pitfalls.
The known dead are: Clara Swartz
crushed in jumping from window:
Morris Passin, crushed in jumping
from window: Ida Greenburg, died in
hospital from injuries received in
jumping from window; unidentified
body of girl taken from the ruins.
The fire is said to have started on
the third floor either from slight ex
plosion or the blowing out of a fuse
in an electric switchboard. Those on
that floor were thrown into panic
and it took only a moment for the ex-
element to reach the three upper floors
and then wild rush for life ensued.
Many of the girls were young and they
became practically helpless in the
panic. The workpeople on the first
and second floors and most of those on
the third made their escape but those
in the upper portions of the building
were blocked at the third floor which
was a mass of flames.
The stairway was blocked with a
solid mass of people fighting for life.
Some got through. others fell uncon-
seious on the stairs and others rushed
to the windows to jump. BY this time
Second and Chancellor streets were
filled with people who implored the
girls not to jump but to wait for the
tiremen. The pleadings were UNDECIDED
and the leap for life began.
Produce men hurriedly brought out
large squares of canvas and held then
for girls to jump in. About 20 made
the leap from different floors and more
than half We're SO badly injured thai
they We're removed to hospitals One
woman. Clara Swartz. died on the way
to a hospital.
Chancellor street is extremely mar.
row and the firemen had difficulty ir
fighting the flames. The fire spread
rapidly through the structure TIL,
roof and all the floors fell into the frs
floor and stopped all rescue work fo
the time being.

motive which the state seeks to prove, that

Professor Goes
for Mr.. Wilson
Illinois Educator Declares Teachings
of Secretary Are Far from
Scientific.

CHICAGO April 9-Chsracterizing the
teachings Of Secretary James Wilson as
"damnable." "abomnable" and disgrace
full" Prof Cyril G. Hopkins of the Uni
versity Of Illinois. delivered a stinging crti-
cism Of the Department Of Agriculture here
today in an address at the City club. Prof
Hopkins dismissed the secretary himself
from his consideration by simply saying
He is an unscentific man.
Here are some direct quotations from
Secretary Wilson cited by Prof Hopkins
as "abominably false"
Practically all soils contain sufficient
plant food to produce good crop yields; this
supply will be indefinitely maintained"
so far as the present outlook is con-
cerned, the nation possesses ample re-
sources in its soil for any conceivable in
crease in population for several centuries -
The soil is the one indestructible, inimit-
able asset that the nation possesses. 1t is
the one resource that cannot be exhausted;
that cannot be used up"
From the modern conception Of Tie ma
ture and purposes Of the soil IL is evident
that it cannot wear out; that so far as
the mineral food is concerned it will con-
tinue automatically to supply adequate
quantities Of plant food for crops"
means of feeding mankind for untold ages
to come"
After he had cited these quotations Prof.
Hopkins said: Can you blame the farmers
for continuing to wear out their land when
these are the teachings promulgated from
the highest authority in the United States
These false teachings are the more dam
nable because the common soil type on the
abandoned farms in Maryland, only a few
miles from Washington, contain only l6I
pounds of phosphorus in the plowed soil
Of an acre, while the richest black prairie
soil of Illinois with value exceeding s2UC
an acre contains more than 1000 pounds
Of phosphorus in the same stratum"
AS a remedy for the rapid wearing out
Of farms Prof. Hopkins suggested puIver-
lied phosphorus rock such as is to be
found on the public domain.
