[uN1rrp rRpss LEASED wIRn. ]

Washington, March 25.-The new
rules committee of the house or rep
resentatives was formulated by the
house today
The new committee is the result
of the spectacular fight that occurred
last week in the house, and which
ended in the ousting of Cannon from
the. rules committee, and gave the
naming of the committee to the house
instead of the speaker.
The members of the new committee
were selected by caucuses of the Re-
publicans and Democrats, the Repub-
licans naming six members of the
new committee and the Democrats
four.
The new committee is made up as
follows:
Republicans:
John Dalzell, Pennsylvania.
Walter l. Smith, Iowa.
j. Sloat Fassett, New York.
Henry S. Boutell Illinois.
Sylvester G. Smith, California.
George p. Lawrence, Massachu-
sets.
Democrats
Champ Clark, Missouri.
Oscar Underwood, Alabama.
John Fitzgerald, New York.
Lincoln Dixon, Indiana.
Dalzell and Smith were the Repub-
lican members of the old committee,
and Clark and Fitzgerald the Demo-
cratic members.
Although the insurgents were re-
sponsible for the fight which resulted
in the new rules committee they were
given no representation.
DalZell is the Oldest member of the
committee, in point of service. He
will probably be selected chairman.
He is a staunch friend of Cannon, and
has served on the committee ever
since Cannon has been speaker. Dali

but beyond that point their efforts
were futile.
All Hope Was Gone.
Between them and the sixth floor
Jets of flame and smoke spurted. At
one time a ladder was raised almost
to a window where the girls clung.
The yell of the crowd was silenced
when a burst of flame on the fourth
floor caused the firemen to drop the
ladder and descend.
Miss Ethel Finkelstein, seeing res
cue hopeless, leaped from a window
She struck the canopy over the front
entrance of the building, crashed
through the heavy glass roof and
was fatally injured. She died at St.
Luke's hospital soon afterward.
The remaining women at the win
dows clung desperately to the ledges
and seemed afraid to jump.
They could be seen through the
swirling smoke, protecting their
heads and faces from the heat by
means of skirts and wraps.
Occasionally one waved her hand,
as though imploring aid.
At one window stood four women.
Their white faces were framed in the
window for a time, then came a puff
of smoke, a sheet of fire, and the faces
were gone.
None but Miss Finkelstein had the
hardihood to jump.
Boy Started Fire.
NJ. d. Geyner, a clerk, who was on
the top floor when the fire started, is
in the hospital. Both his hands were
badly mangled when he slid down the
steel cable attached to the elevator,
to escape. He pried open the door in
to the shaft and leaped into the shaft
where he grasped the cable and drop
ped to the ground floor.
The fire was started by young boy
who was employed in a cigar store
on the fifth floor The youth was at
tempting to fill burning cigar light
er, when half pint bottle of alcohol
became ignited. The lad dropped
the burning fluid to othe floor and fed.
A few minutes later the door lead
ing to the elevator shaft was closed
tight This prevented the flames

A vast crowd watched the attempts

MINE DEAL
Buys Savanna Copper Com
pany Properties Near
Silver City.

Silver City, n. NJ, July 20.-The
largest mining deal consummated in
this section for the past two years has
just been made, according to adyfces
received here. Some months ago, rep
resentatives of the Rio, Tinto Copper
company of Cleveland, Ohio, visited the
properties of the Savanna Copper COM
pany, which include practically all the
mines of the PinoS Altos mining dis
trict, situated nine miles north OF this
city.
Geo. A. Easton. a practical mining
man of this city, has gone to Duluth to
further the negotiations of the deal
The properties include a total patent
ed area of 173 acres, and also 10 to 20
claims unpatented, in the town of Pinos
Altos, a large residence, office build
ings, store and warehouses, and neces-
sary buildings TO conduct large min
ing business.
The purchasing company owns SmeIt-
ing works in Mexico. about $50 miles
from FL Paso, and the Pinos Altos ores
are needed for fluXing purposes II Is
the intention of the company to resume
work on the Pacific No. l and Pacific
No. 2 mines, on which are the G1llett
and Hearst shafts, the first being to
depth of 1000 and the latter depth OF
estate was on these two mines, and ex-
cept that the shafts are filled with wa
ter, are in good condition
Railroad to Be Operated
The Comanche Smelling & Mining
company built narrow gauge railway
from this city TO within a few hundred
yards of the town of PinOs Altos, and
the road was successfully operated until
the smelling works of the company
closed down and later passed into the
hands of the Savanna Copper company
The Tinto people will put this road
again into operation. which means that
the ores can be transported at a great
saving.
The camp has been practically idle for
the past three years. but it is known
that the mines are rich and can be
worked at a profit The Pinos Altos
camp occupied first place as gold
producer in the territory until the past
two years, since which the Mogollon
district has taken first place. II IS also
the oldest gold producing camp of i'm
portance in the territory, and in early
years work was often interrupted for
months because OF the numerous Indian
raids
