Efforts at Rescue Vain.
Other firemen, witnesses of the fate OF
their chief, deserted for brief time other
parts of the blazing structure and sought
with their bare hands to drag apart the
flowing bricks and debris which covered
the bodies of Chief Horan and his COM
panions. Finding this vain effort, thay
obeyed again the direction of Assistant
Marshal Seyferlich and redoubled their
efforts to shut in the spreading area- of
flame.
The fire was first discovered at about
4 o'clock by a watchman in the Morris 4
Co. beef house, at Add and Loomis streets.
An ammonia pipe, bursting, started spon-
taneous combustion that spread SO quick

the fire alarm before the flames began

apparatus and hurried to the stock yards

By the time of his arrival his assistants
who had reached the scene earlier, had
abandoned the effort to save the beef
house and were endeavOring to head OF

BODIES FROZEN IN ICE
when TAKEN FROM RUINS
Bitter Cold Makes Task of Philadel.
phia Firefighters Hard.

PHILADELPHIA, December 22.-Thir-
teen known dead, twelve firemen and one
policeman, and more than fifty injured,
of whom twenty-five are still in hospitals,
is the record of last nights fire at the
leather factory of Daniel Friedlander in
this city.
These figures were given out by the
police at noon today, and the city officials
believe they have accounted for all the
men who were at work at the fire when
ing fell in on them. The monetary loss
will not exceed $25.5OO.
Other Deaths Probable.
OF the injured several are in a critical
condition and may die. Most of those
hurt, however, received wounds of a
minor character.
What is believed to be the last body
in the ruins was taken from the ice-coat-
ed mass of debris shortly before noon
The officials then declaped that they
thought all men had been accounted for,
but gave orders to clear the ruins
to make sure no other victims were in
the place.
Two firemen were taken out of the ruins
alive after having been pinned under the
great mass of twisted iron and broken
bricks for twelve hours, but one of them,
Thomas Pass, died on the way to a hos
pital
Fireman's Remarkable Escape.
The escape from instant death of Will
liam GlaZier was truly remarkabl Gla-
zier was pinned down by machinery and
heavy beam falling across his feet when
one of the walls fell at midnight
His cries brought rescuers, who worked
for twelve hours to free him. He was
taken out at 12:22 pm. today. Glaciers
body was free and he was able to direct
the work of his rescuers. This was a
delicate task, as the displacement of SO
small a thing brick might have
brought tons Of debris down upon him to
crush out his life A priest stood by ito
administer spiritual comfort and doctors
worked to keep him alive while firemen
carefully removed the mass about him.
Before noon he was freed of every
thing except a big beam across one
foot. Police surgeons. who had admin
istered stimulants and drugs during the
morning, got an oxygen tank in position
and kept pumping oxygen into him. An
other tube was run close to his face to
take away the bad air, and a third tube
carried more stimulants to him. Finally
the beam was raised far enough to re.
lease Glazier, and cheer went up from
firemen and the enormous crowd of
spectators. who had stood for hours in
the freezing cold, when the limp form
was lifted upon stretcher
Chance of Life Uncertain.
There was rivalry among the bosnitalj
for the privilege of caring
for him, and as Glazier expressed a wish
to be sent to st. Joseph's, he vas taken
there as fast as an automobile ambu- |
lance could travel
Whether he will survive cannot vet be i
told. The physicians express the opinion
that he has developed pneumonia and Il
declare that it is remarkable that he
should be still alive after lying in waterl

1t is the Transcripts honest con-
yiction that the people Of Oklahoma
are opposed to the location of the
capital at this time, and will record
tnat opposition by an overwhelming
vote. And this. too, regardless of the
question whether they would favor
Oklahoma City, Guthrie, Shawnee or
some othes point as the permanent
capital, at the proper time. The ques-
bon IS not. What city do you favor
as the permanent capital2ssbut, Are
you in favor of locating the perman-
ent capital at this time? On that
pl ase of the question the noes" will
have II overwhelmingly, or we miss
cur guess.
Goodness knows, taxes are high
enough now, and to saddle another
million dollar debt upon the state to
help out the real estate boosters OF
Guthrie, Shawnee or Oklahoma City
IS asking too much. OF course the
boosters viii say no debt will be
created; that the lots sold adjacent
to the capital grounds will more than
pay for tle building, etc, but such
representations are pure bosh. The
bill, II carried, appropriates at least
$500, 1000 without any fui ther actiol
q the legislature becomes a law. And
Row much more than the 100000 viii
he needed, nobody knows.
Every phase of the matter should
lie carefully considered before you

ton.

ECONOMY IS DEMANDED
IN CITY DEPARTMENTS
Finance Committee of Council
Wants Drain on Budget
to Be Lessened

The finance committee will present
message to the city council at Tues
days meeting, calling the attention or
the city officials to a practice of over
estimating the amounts necessary TO
run their departments when putting In
their demands for a portion of the
budget for an ensuing year, and ASKING
that the amount desired in future be as
low as will possibly run their depart
ments when putting In their demands
for a portion of the budget for an ensu-
ing year, and asking that the amount
desired in future be as low as VIII pos
sibly run the department.
The report will go on to say that the
charter provides that only 1 per cent or
the assessed valuation of property can
be used for current expenses. Hitherto
the city has been under additional eX-
pense in being required to pay 10 cents
on each 500 as school tax. The city
is relieved from this now under new
county taxation law.
owing, however, to the expense the
city is under in paying the interest on
the aqueduct bonds, the committee
feels that 1t has no moral right In al
lowing the tax rate for general pur-
poses to exceed So cents and contends
that the rate should be kept within this
amount.
No niggardly or penurious policy VIII
be pursued, but q request is made Of
CITY officials that there be the lowest
possible outlay consistent with proper
administration of the business Of a de-
partment. The committee issues a
warning that it will only approve
sufficient sum to properly run the de-
partments ON an economical basis.

MORE PLANTS
FROM STRIKE PICKETERS
Court Issues Four Injunction.
Brewers to Follow Example
of the Foundrymen

Four more temporary injunctions
were issued yesterday against the
union labor organizations involved in
the metal trades strike, the plaintiffs
being the Lacy Manufacturing COM
pany, the Los Angeles Manufacturing
company, the Fulton Engine works
and the Wilson & Wilson Manufactur-
ing company.
Attorneys were employed by the la
Dor organizations to fight the injunc-
tions already served and those which
are to be served. The attorneys re-
tanned are Job Hartman, Fred Spring
and ]. H. Hickman. They will ask
that the injunctions be dissolved.
1t is said that the brewers will fol-
low the example of the foundrymen
and ask for injunctions preventing
picketing in front of saloons where
Los Angeles beer is sold.
At the offices Of the Founders and
Employers association it was claimed
yesterday that the employers are gain
ing men every hour, the number COM
ing into the shops exceeding the num-
ber who quit work.
The strikers are still making ar
rangements for the establishment of a
tent city at one Of the beaches. The
plans up to this time have been in
definite and nothing further than an
investigation Of sites has been brought
about.
A mass meeting of all union men
will be held tonight at the Union La
bor Temple to talk over the forma-
ton Of a labor party in Los Angeles.
Union leaders have expressed their
confidence in the ability of the Ia
borers to carry a municipal election.

LIGHTHOUSES TO GUIDE
AIR TRAVELLERS AT NIGHT
Unique Device Erected in Ger
many by War Office

NEW YORK, June 25.-Consul
Thomas H. Norton reports from Chem
nitz that for several months there has
been keen discussion in Germany re-
garding the best methods for enabling
aerial travellers to establish with cer-
tainty their location after nightfall
and in foggy weather. Numerous plans
have been proposed for a systematic
network of signal stations to cover the
entire empire. An initial step has been
taken at Spandau in Prussia, where
an aerial lighthouse is now in full
activity. The necessity of such con-
Struction has been felt more partic-
ularly at this point, where the expert
ments of the German war Office with
aerial craft are largely conducted and
nocturnal flights are increasingly fire.
quent. This pioneer beacon for aerial
guidance is comparatively simple in
its construction. 1t consists of an
elevated support on which rests, in a
horizontal position, wooden ring OF
considerable diameter; thirty-eight
powerful incandescent electric lights
are placed at equal distances about
the circumference, and there is an au-
tomato arrangement for interrupting
the current at regular intervals for a
short period. The location of Spandau
is thus clearly indicated to a traveller
passing over the place by a large, lu-
minous circle, alternately disappear
ing and reappearing. While this de-
vice answers admirably for the needs
of aeronauts during the night, it Is of
little or no use when fog prevails at
any time For such contingencies 1t
will be necessary to install siren
or similar apparatus.

.RHYMING NO TRADE TO

ProSaic Government Casts Out
Poor Peterson, a Poet, Who
Would Become Citizen

NEW YORK, June 25.-Writing of
poetry is not legitimate trade. Uncle
Sam so decided through the special
board of inquiry en- Ellis island.
Henceforth poets who cast soulful
glances toward the land of the free,
fancying it a field where the muse
may luxuriate, must remember that
only aeroplanes are permitted to soar
here now.
mo poets admitted" is figuratively
written above the gate of the big
human clearing house on Ellis island.
The troubadour upon whose head the
blow has fallen is William Peterson,
Dane. Without blushing he confessed
when questioned that he followed the
nefarious occupation of chopping
phrases into equal lengths and pasting
rhymes on the ends of them.
II earn my living by writing and
reciting poetry" said the blue-eyed
Dane, who had arrived here on the
Oscar II on May 81. Since early man
hood Petersen has existed by driving
his Pegasus. After living twelve years
in America he went back about a year
ago to visit the fatherland. But he
had neglected when here to become an
American citizen. He thought Amer
lea would be glad to see him again and
listen to his lilts. Instead he finds
himself barred from the land of his
choice, a deported alien, sailing upon
the Oscar II today.
The board unanimously decided that
the writing OF poetry, with no other
source of income, was not legitimate
means of livelihood for a man so years
old, who had only $24, and that the
suppliant probably would become a
public charge.
When crossing the ocean Petersen,
against whom there is nothing save
his calling, was a great favorite with
his fellow passengers On Memorial
day he was chosen to deliver the ora
tion on board. His theme was "How
to Succeed in America" He praised
this. country and dwelt upon its gold
en- opportunities" The bard also wrote
a poem, copies of which were sold to
the passengers. A translation was
read to the board. "Wonder If that is
why they decided to fire him out of the
country?" asked a scoffer afterward.
Hereafter poets who wish to settle
in America should learn additional
trades. There is no pillory here for
wandering minstrels, but ware the
special board!

DRUNK, He STEALS
HORSE AND WAGON
Ralph Burns Attempts to Sell
Farmers Equine and
Rig for $40

Ralph Burns, a good looking young
man of 23, who says he has been mar
ried less than month, colored per-
ceptibly when in the presence of Judge
Davis's court yesterday he confessed to
the crime of horse stealing and asked
for probation.
The act was done, he explained, on
June II. while he was temporarily out
of employment, as the result of over
Indulgence in liquor in company with
several companions. AS he left the
saloon at Fifth street and Central ave
nue. he happened to notice horse and
wagon standing in front, which be-
longed to Frank Webb, a farmer near
Del Monte, and In his drunken humor,t
SO he explained 1t, he proceeded to un-
tie 1t and drive to a horse trader,
where he offered 1t for the absurdly
low sum of $40. His capture was al
most immediate.
IF I can only get out of this" Burns
said to his attorney, 'I'n never touch
lio11or any more. It is whole lot
harder on my wife than on me. And to
think. we haven't been married
month yet"
The Judge referred the case to the
chief probation officer.
