YOUNG MEN ORGANIZING

Pursuant to invitations sent out pri- vately there was quite an assemblage of young men at the board of trade room last night, called for the pur- pose of initiating a movement for the social and business betterment of the young men of the city and their par ticipation in the boosting for a greater Phoenix The meeting was presided over by Mr. Civille of the Valley Bank who outlined something of the purposes of the organization which will not be clearly defined until the adoption of their rules of association which a committee appointed last night was directed to outline. Two or three committees were appointed for the performance of organization duties As far as could be gathered it is planned to start a sort of club for the holding of Saturday luncheOns to promote sociability and business It is not understood that the club is to undertake anything as extensive as club building or a purely social club organization but it will naturally re- quire headquarters, officers, etc. One of the purposes is to meet and be- come acquainted with young men who come to the city as strangers and not only introduce them socially but place them in touch with the business in- terests of the city.

AUTOMOBILE PARTY
 DITCHEO AND JOLTED
Two Were Rendered Unconscious, But
 Not Seriously Injured.

A party of Mesa City people in the Kimball OldsmObile, including Will liam Kimball, a Miss Mcdonald, a gentleman from San Francisco named Montgomery, another man and two ladies whose names were not learned. met with a serious shaking up and narrow escape from death imme- diately north of Phoenix Wednesday night. The automobile was about the most complete wreck one could inn agine.
 The chauffeur was a Mesa City man. The party was bowling along at a speed of twenty-five or thir- ty miles an hour, somewhere in the neighborhood of the Evergreen ad- dition or between there and Los Olives The chauffeur turned his head an instant to speak to some one behind him and his moment of carelessness had a speedy result. He lost control of the machine evidently for it wheeled to the ditch, which it struck with a terrible impact, throwing all the occupants of the machine to the ground, some of them ten or fifteen feet away.
 Miss Mcdonald and one of the men were rendered unconscious, but former for only a few minutes and the latter for an hour or so. She was given medical attention. and was finally restored to consciousness when it was found that she had suffered no lasting injuries. though she was bruised all over. All the occupants of the machine received numerous trivial wounds and scratches, but enon of them are serious.
 The machine was all shot to pieces. both front wheels being broken off and the steering gear being wrecked as well as almost everything else breakable. As the machine was trailed to town yesterday with the front end of it resting on a spring wagon the attention of pedestrians was called to it as a new invention, horseless, wheeless carriage.

AM HAZARDOUS CHINESE

piece of pie and a plate of chili con carne were the stage settings for an incident that brought Edward Real to the police court yesterday. He and a friend were dining in the restaurant run in connection with the Yellowstone saloon. Real ordered pie and his friend got the chili. Then his friend lost his appetite and Real ate the chil as well as the pie. The Chinese who conducts the place then demanded frop Real pay for the chili. You eat chili, you pay for chili," was the Orientals argu- ment. Real did not see it that way and neither did Judge Thomas when the Chinaman had Real arrested. He was discharged.

ING EXPLOSION.
OF BENzINE CICARLICHTER
Flames Cut or Escape Of Employees
From Sixth Floor Of Structure
and They are Roasted
Alive.

Chicago. Illinois. - Twelve OF
more lives, mostly those of young
girls, are believed to have been sacri-
feed in a fire which destroyed one of
the l.. Fish Furniture compary's
stores at 1906-l9Os Wabash avenue.
One of them, Emma ~Lichtenst,in,
was killed in jumping from the sixth,
or top floor window. Most of the
deaths occurred on the fifth and sixth
floors. Employees of these floors were
cut off from escape by fire, which en-
veloped the building, following the
explosion Of several cans of benzine.
A spark from a cigar lighter is said
to have started the fire.
Following is an incomplete list of
the missing who are believed to have
lost their lives:
VERONICA M'GRATH, aged u,
stenographer.
GERTRUDE QUINN. aged 20, folder.
LILLIAN SULLIVAN, aged lG,

Cigar Lighter Causes Disaster.
the fire started when an employe Wen
into the finishing department on the
fourth floor to get some alcohol for 81
cigar lighter. The electric spark j
the lighter, according to Fish, startc[
the fire which quickly reached cans
OF benzine near by and exploded rap
idly. Mr.. Fish expressed the BELLE
that all employees on the fourth foo
escaped, but it is said could see nc
hope for those above.
Estimates of the number on these
floors run as high as 20 and the death
list may reach this number. The
financial loss is placed at $500, 900,
equally divided between building anG
stock.
Fire Marshal Koran stated that a
rigid investigation of the prepared
ness of the building for fire would be
made. The building had but one fire
escape. he said, whereas it should
have had two.
Simon Fish, another member of the
furniture company, while the blaze
was at it's height created a sensation
by making charges of negligence
against the firemen. In bitter Ian
guage he declared the firemen were
slow in responding to the alarm and
tardy in raising ladders to the upper
stories. He protested that firemen
interfered with employees who were
attempting to make rescues, and de-
clared that he would prefer charges
against the fire department.
Marshal Koran declared that his
men responded without the loss of a
second and expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Fish would withdraw his charges
after he lac Gained down.

M'ClLL WILL Sow WHY
HIS NAME APPEARS ON PHENix
PAPER FOR $4,000.
Albany Lawyers Mind to Be Refresh.
ed by Reading Of His
Letters.

New York. n. y. - The fire in.
scandals involving the expenditure OF
far greater sums than any named in
the A~llds-Conger case was continued.
Il have only scratched the surface
thus far" Superintendent Hotchkiss
said when the hearings were adjourn,
ed last Thursday. There are other
letters to be read and they are moro
interesting than any that have been
produced yet
Thus far the gold mine of evidence
has been the letter files and BOOKS Of
the late George p. Sheldon. president
of Brooklyn. Sheldon, for years, was
in charge of the legislative interests
Of the New York companies and his
correspondence with his Albany agent,
William II. Buckley, was both volumi-
Gus and precise.
Buckley's own opinion of his ability
to smother legislation and to gain adj
vance information of court decisions
has been modest in his testimony, but
in the letters to Sheldon he put a
better estimate on the value of his
services. 1t is expected that his mem
DRY will be still further refreshed
when he is called.
There also is a possibility that JUS
tice Edward Mccall of the state SUI
preme court bench, brother of the late
John A. Mccall of the New York Life
Insurance company, may volunteer to
explain how his name came to be on
the back of a $4,000 check issued
by the Phcnix Fire Insurance COM
pany to Buckley's order. According
to the exhibit, the justice signed Buck
ley's name, and his own under it with
out indicating, however, that he had
power of attorney.
