Two Long Runs Were just
What Machine Truck
People Wanted.

RUNNING TO-DAY
After Horses Are Tired
New Apparatus Does
Record Stunt.

Responding this morning to a double
runs, the new auto, driven by Arthur
Hughes, the Seagraves' expert, fully
proved it's true merit, the machine hav
ing been driven from Thirteenth
street to 227 Whitman street in record
time, after the horses had become all
but exhausted.
At so o'clock this morning, box 46,
on Thirteenth street was pulled, and
the entire department responded.
Hughes was in the bath-tub at the
central station when the call came,
but he quickly donned his clothing and
was out in a remarkably short time.
Being alone, and not acquainted with
the streets, he followed the department
down Rose street to the Dement, mill,
where a burning fiue in dwelling
threatened the destruction of the
structure. The blaze was eXtinguished
with but little damage done.
AS the entire department, from
both stations, responds to calls from
box 46, the houses were empty when
a phone alarm was sent in from 227
Whitman street, where another burn
ing fue was giving trouble. Captain
George Guthridge from the central
house, who was at breakfast when the
first call came, answered the telephone
to notify the fire boys. Meanwhile
Hughes had driven back to the station,
lust in time to miss the captain, who
notified the boys from No. at the
Dacres hotel. They dashed madly up
Main street to Palouse, but the horses
were ''all in" from the long run in the
mud on West Rose street. Al Guichard
gave Hughes instructions as to the
scene of the second blaze, and he drove
up Alder street, passing No. at East
Alder and Falouse. He stopped to take
on Assistant Chief Robert Wolf and
two nrelnen, anu coHiIhueu 10 TIE cdii'
fully three blocks ahead of the old ap
paratuS.
The blaze proved to be easily handled
little damage being done. The call this
morning is looked upon as one of the
best tests yet given the fire auto. It
proved the value of the machine in
responding TO alarms in the outlying
available Hughes is not familiar with

ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
MEN WILL WALK OUT NEXT SATURDAY
NIGHT IN SYMPATHY
Central Labor Union Delegates Decide Move to Aid
Carmen Say It Is Fight Between Labor and
Capital lRioting Again Begins

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-Central
labor union delegates last night voted
to call sympathetic strike of lac
trade unions, beginning next Saturday
out. Efforts are being made today to
induce the city council to interfere and
force arbitration.
There were dozens of riots yester-
day. man and boy were killed
and four injured when a car jumped
a switch misplaced by the rioters. The
motorman was stabbed, the boy fatal
ly shot by a policeman, and many were
injured. Two were arrested for con-
spiracy to blow up cars with dyna-
mite.
This action of the Central Labor
union is fraught with momentous con-
sequences, the union officials say. The
decision was made at a secret session
of 700 delegates in Labor Lyceum hall,
which lasted more than six hours.
There apparently was no question but
that the delegates would vote to strike,
the split being on whether or not the
strike would be started Immediately.
The more conservative prevailed, how
ever, and the walkout was put off un-
til next Saturday.
Meanwhile, there is hope that the
street railway strike will be arbitrated
despite the repeated declaration of the
transit company, controlling all the
lines in the city, that there is moth
ing to arbitrate."
Nobody doubts that this action
of the Central Labor union makes the
situation very grave. There is strong
feeling, especially among business peo-
pie that the strike should be settled
speedily as all lines of business SUI
fer from the interference with traf-

| nc. Consequently there is much SYM
! pathy for the move for arbitration,
| made by clergymen of all denomina-
tions early in the week
Unanimous For Strike
There was surprise at the unanimity
in favor of a general sympathetic
strike. The meeting had been widely
| discusseu previously and there was q
mixed sentiment as to the wisdom of
calling out all classes of workmen
Leaders of various trades unions said
they were opposed to a general strike
because it involved broken trade agree
ments. Others doubted their ability to
order all workmen to lay down their
tools and have the order obeyed.
As the gathering was secret, lit
tie of an authoritative nature can be
learned of what transpired behind the
barred doors.
That there was much oratory is
evident as the meeting lasted from
little after o'clock until $3.50.
The great crowd gathered outside
the hall would occasionally hear loud
cheering and a responsive cheer would
go up from the outsiders. Finally,
when the meeting broke up and the
announcement was made that unless
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
pany comes to an agreement with it's
striking employees by next Friday, the
greatest strike in the history of Phil
adelphia will be inaugurated, there was
a cheer and the crowd dispersed. Not
only members of unions affiliated with
the Central Labor Union and the AL
lied Building Trades Council, but OF
every labor organization in the city
in anyway connected with the Amer
ican Federation of Labor participated
in the meeting.
Fight Is Labor Versus Capital.
Two separate meetings were held.
The delegates to the Central Labor
Union met on one floor of the build
ing, while the president and business
agents of the other organizations met
on the next floor.
Declaring the car strike here had
become a battle between capital and
labor. the members of the Central La
Dor Union unanimously adopted res
olution that every union man and
woman stop work on next Saturday
if, in the meantime, the striking car
men have not reached an agreement
with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company.
When this resolution was forwarded

With a thunderous roar that was

an avalanche overwhelmed the little
town of Mace at 11:3O o'clock last night
burying 25 families including prob

Mace is located in a narrow can
yon and is partly overhunG by a high
precipice. Loosened by the sudden thaw
an avalanche of ice and rock suddenly
slid down and crushed out the lives Of
every inhabitant.
Meagre details received early this
morning by the Wallace Press (news-
paper) state that Mace is situated in
a narrow canyon with an extremely
precipitous bluff overhanging the town.
A mile down the canyon is located the
town of Gem, Idaho. Telephone COM
munication with Gem was unobtain-
able from Wallace last night and the
street rumor is that this town has met
a like fate with Mace
Three box cars containing 80 North

came All are supposed to have been
killed. At the Mace boarding house,
the snow is 80 feet deep and all the
flats from there to the end Of the town

MACE, A TOWN NEAR WALLACE, BURIED UNDER
SLIDE OF SNOW AND EARTH FROM
CANYONS NARROW SIDES
Twelve Bodies Have Been Recovered and it is Thought
Nearly Hundred More Are Beneath the
Debris-Rescuers Are at Work

WALLACE, Feb. 28.--With the
towns of Mace and Burke buried deep
under a double avalanche OF snow,
ice and debris and thirty dead bodies
already recovered, hundreds of rescu-
srs are working desperately this after
noon in the hope of saving the lives
of scores of imprisoned beneath the
collapsed houses who may still be alive
There is constant danger of a third
slide.
After the first avalanche had
snothered the town of Mace and
crushed the structures like they had
been made of paper, scores of persons
from the adjoining towns began the
work Of rescue, continuing their labors
through the night. At daylight a great
mass of snow that had menaced the
town Of Burke, gave way and with a
roar swept down the .mountainside,
oUrying the camp under tons of rocks,
trees, earth and snow. Most of the men
OF Burke had responded to the call for
volunteers when Mace was buried
and these beheId the destruction of
their homes and probable death of their
wives and children.
Reports this afternoon as to the
number of deaths are very conflicting
one report places the number at 90
"o''e another, apparently authentic
says 18 lives lost and four persons un-

to'save the building were soon seen to
be useless and attention was directed

Paris, April 1S.-Lina Cavalier,
the prima donna, who has just an
nounced her engagement to Robert
Winthrop Chanler, the artist, declares
that she does not love her fiance,
and that love is unnecessary in mar
rage anyway.

make up my mind to accept Mr.
CHAMBER" she said. II have not lost
my head, and you can bet that l am
not sentimentally in love with him.
II do like him, and certainly hope
that ours will be happy union. l
believe that love is unnecessary in
marriage. There is nothing exciting
about my engagement. My views on
marriage have often been expressed,
and / am merely living up to them.
Mine is not by any means a ro-
nance. But although l am not mar
rying with the idea of divorce, l
would not marry in Italy or any 9TH
er place where divorce is impossible.
1t is comforting to feel the existence
of an open-door of escape even while
hoping there is nothing to flee from.
II shall certainly continue singing
Marriage is no reason why l should
sacrifice my career, for love the
stage. / shall not see Mr.. Chanler
again until my return to New York in
November, when the wedding will
take place almost Immediately / am

Lima Cavalier has for many years
held a double reputation as one of the
most beautiful women and the sweet
est singers of Europe or America.
Born in the slums of Rome, she
grew up with the love of music in her
heart, and at a youthful age was en-
gagged as flower girl and vendor of
programs in one of the Roman
theatres.
There she won the attention of
Carlo di Rudini, son of the Italian
premier, who, discovering that she
possessed the gift of song to a re-
markable degree, had her given a
thorough musical education by the
best artists. She has had a career of
triumphs since girlhood.
