WASHINGTON. Feb. Consid-
lIable misunderstanding seems TO eX-
Isl with respect 10 the forfeiture

against the measure.
/ In these words Attorney. General

lum made public yesterday touching
he various features OF section SO ~
hc bill, in which are Included the for
leiture provisions, TO make clear what
b. trainers sought TO accomplish ami
10 set out how in important respects
he provisions are substantially the
anne as those contained In the con
ltltutions and laws OF many states.
i Reference is made TO the clause spe-
ILLEGALLY giving congress power TO al
Ter, suspend and repeal a charter or
issolve the corporation. Substantial-
\ the same provision. he said Is con
hlned in the New York general cor
loration law
AS to that feature making every
corporation created under the act
found by any amendment made TO the
hw by congress. Mr. Wickersham
iays substantially the same provision
5 contained I'm the laws of every
tate, and in The constitutions Of
ANY states.
Mr.. Wickersham says it was not the

The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1910-01-21

Burbank, scientist and horticulturist,
has received official notification from
the Carnegie Institute for Scientific
Investigation that the annual allow
ance of $4,000 which was voted him
under certain conditions for ten years
had been withdrawn, to date from Jan.
/, 1910, after having been paid reg
ularly for the last five years.
In connecuon with the withdrawal
of the grant it had been stated that
Burbank had allowed himself to be
exploited commercially and it was
even said that his proposed associa-
tion with the Law brothers of San
Francisco and others in large cor
poration for the purpose of handling
his productions was one of the main
reasons for the withdrawal of the
grant Buroank says he was exploit
ed without his consent.

New York, Jan. 20.-Lewis Stuy-

Wild Fire PANIC
AT PHILADELPHIA
Dozen Perish When Build
ing Is Destroyed.
VICTIMS YOUNG WOMEN

Many of the People In the Structure
Were Girls in Their Teens and They
Became Practically Helpless When
the Alarm of Fire Was Given.
Score Of Others Suffering From
Burns and Injuries Received in
jumping.
Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-At least
dozen persons, mostly young women,
are believed to have lost their lives
in fire that destroyed six-story
factory building at 200 and 202 Chan
cellor street, in the heart of the pro-
duce market section of the city.
About twenty men and girls are in
hospitals suffering from burns and In
juries received in jumping from win
dows. There were about 100 men,
women and children employed by vari-
Gus small firms in the building.
The fire is said to have started on
the third floor, either from slight
explosion or the blowing out of fuse
In an electric switchboard. Those on
that floor were instantly thrown into
a panic and the cry of fire was spread.
When the excitement reached the
three upper floors rush for life en-
sued Many of the girls were young
and they became practically helpless
In the panic.
The people on the first and second
floors and most of those on the third
floor escaped, but those in the upper
portion of the building were blocked
at the third floor, which was a mass
of flames.
stairways Blocked by People.
The stairway was blocked with a
solid mass of people fighting for life.
Some got through, others fell uncon-
scious on the stairs and others rushed
to the windows to junp.
BY this time Second and Chancellor
streets were filed with people, who
implored the girls not to jump but
wait for the firemen, who were arriv.
ing at this time. The pleadings were
unheeded and the leap for life began
Produce men hurriedly brought out
large squares Of canvas used to cover
produce at night and willing hands
held them for the girls to jump into
It Is estimated that about twenty
made the leap from different floors
More than half of the twenty were sc
badly injured they were removed tc
hospitals. One woman, Clara Swartz
died on the way to the hospital.
The fire spread rapidly through the
structure, but energetic work confined
the fire within the walls where the
| flames started. The roof and the
| floors fell into the first floor an(
stopped all rescue work for the time

PLAN INCREASE In RATES
Railroads Agree to Boost Chicago-New
York Freight Charges.

York Freight Charges.
Chicago, Jan. 20.-An increase of 5
cents a hundred pounds on first class
freight from New York to Chicago by
lake and rail practically has been
agreed upon, according to dispatches
from the East. All the lines had
agreed to the advance, with the excep.
ton of the Grand Trunk railway-Na-
tional Dispatch-it was stated. 1t is
said that pressure is being brought to
bear on this line to induce it to join
in the increase.
This boost will be worked out by the
reduction of the differential of the lake
and rail under the all-rail rates. This
differential has been 10 cents hun
dred pounds on first class freight. The
water lines are said to have agreed to
cut this differential in half, giving
them a rate of only cents lower than
that by all-rail.
