BOILER RETURNS.
Says Nelson's Time Was Faster
Than Announced at Chicago.

Coach J. F. Boiler returned this
week from Chicago where he went
with Jack Nelson, the famous w. S.
G. Splinter, and Clarence COOL, the
distance man, who entered the big
intercollegiate meet of the Middle
West In regard to Nelson's record in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes, both of
which he won with comparative ease,
Coach Boiler says:
Nelson was easily the wonder of
the meet and received great praise
for his work. The fasteners had his
records all worked out and he was
the curiosity of the meet. The time
is the funny part of the race. In the
preliminaries all three heats were in
ten seconds and in the final the men
certainly ran faster than in the preli-
minaries and the crowd all looked
disguised when the time of ten and
one-fifth was announced.
Il caught him in nine and four
fifths and it looked that much fas-
ter than the preliminaries. In the
mile COOL led the race in the first
three laps and when in the fourth
the others began to forge ahead he
did not seem to have the stamina to
run any faster. 1t was a case of the
rlme being a little too fast for him.
However, he did better than he ever
did here. l timed him and he made
the time of four-twenty-seven.

PULLMAN PLAY
HOUSE BURNS
RIILDING ERECTED IN 1893
BURNS TO THE. GROUND
CAUSE OF FIRE A MYSTERY.

The Pullman Auditorium, one of
the best equipped play houses of the
Inland Empire, was totally destroyed
by fire early last Saturday night, the
fire not being discovered till the in
terror of the house was a mass of
flames upon which water fell with
no effect, and the firemen were oblig-
ed to confine their efforts to the
saving of the adjacent buildings, one
of which, the Thompson residence
Just to the south, was also destroyed.
The fire that wiped out the theatre
was first discovered at about 1920
o'clock, the interior then being
roaring furnace of flames, and be-
fore the firemen could respond to the
call, the sky was made lurid and the
entire city lighted up by the con-
flagration fed by the immense wood
en- structure, the siXty-foot loft form
ing a chimney and creating a draft
that made near approach to the burn
ing building impossible, and within
an hour only smouldering embers,
and the towering furnace stack.
were left to mark the location of
what had been a monument to the
energy and public spirit of Pullman's
pioneer citizens.
How the fire originated is only a
matter of surmise, although it was
evident that it started in the base
ment either from spontaneous COM
bustion or incendiary origin. 1t is
known that the theatre has been a
rendezvous for a certain class of
youngsters for a long time past and
it is more than possible that a drop
ped match or cigar stub was the
cause of the fire. 1t is reported
that two men were seen in the build
ing within an hour of the discovery
of the fire. The house had been
dark since June End.
History of the Auditorium
The Pullman Opera House, as it
was then known, was erected in 1898
at a cost of about $4,000 on the
strength of subscriptions from the
business men. The opera house was
formally opened on November IA,
1893, THE Story of Kiss" being
the first attraction, and an orchestra
being imported from Spokane to fur
nish the music. The place of amuse-
ment failed to pay from the first and
the hard times following found the
subscribers to the project unable to
make good their subscriptions. The
directors were forced to endorse the
payment of the notes, but times con-
tinued hard and taxes and interest
accumulated until suits were COM
menced on mechanic liens. Soon af-
terward foreclosure proceedings were
instituted and the opera house was
sold for taxes, Whitman county being
the purchaser. The county, in turn,
sold the place to Geo. Ford for about
$500 and from that time on the
house was a paying investment. Ford
conducted the place for about two
years and sold to the present syn
dictate some four years ago.

At the risk of her own life, the girl
fought a fire that threatened the three
children when one of the little ones
overturned lighted lamp. She was
badly burned and has been a patient
in the Long Island College hospital.

INDIGNATION MEETING.
To Be Held by Citizens of Pittsbure
Friday Night.

Pittsburg, Pa, March 29.-Friday,
April 1, has been set it was announced
today officially as the day upon which
Pittsburg shall give vent to its indig-
nation for the grating practices which
are being revealed. 1t is not that the
public has been unmoved by the ex-
posture thus far but so overwhelmingly
sensational; has been the wave of graft
the indignation of righteous citizens
has been little featured. A civic COM
nlittee has decided therefore to
make this Indignation spectacular by
expressing it ensemble with band music
and speeches at monster
mass meeting in Exposition hall next
Friday night.
Ministers have endorsed the move
ment and are urging their congrega-
tons to attend; thousands of personal
invitations are being sent to business
men and a general advertising cam
paign in street cars and newspapers
began today.
The object of the local great civic
gathering will be not only to express
adherence of graft but to endorse the
work of the authorities who have ex-
posed its ramifications here and to plan
a general crusade for civic cleanliness.
