500 CHICKENS PERISH IN FIRE.
Poultry Warehouse Burned in New
York. Loss Is 100000.


York. Loss Is 100000.
A New York dispatch says an early
morning blaze which threatened to
destroy several blocks of valuable
water front property along the Har-
lem river was stifed by the firemen
after a hard battle shortly before
daybreak. The loss will not exceed
100000, although the fire reached
dozen warehouses and factory
buildings, burned its way across the
staff covered structures of a big
amusement park, killed twenty
horses and caused the loss of 500
chickens in poultry firms store
house. The loss is divided among
about twenty firms The blaze was
a spectacular one, and was watched
by fully 100000 persons.
Two city blocks adjoining the pOul-
try warehouse are occupied by negro
families, and the tenants were out
in force. Hundreds of negroes re-
sponded to a call for volunteers to
go in search of the Waterman, who
was missing, and after finding the
Waterman the volunteers, each car
rying a heavy freight of live poultry,
hurried back to heir homes. Eight
hundred chickens were reported
either killed by smoke or missing.

8 FAMILIES WASHED AWAY
Kentucky Flood Lifts Many Houses
From Their Foundations. Sew
eral Families Missing.

SAYERSVILLE, Ky.-Caught by
the raging waters of Licking river,
swollen by recent rains and a cloud
burst early this morning, six persons
are known to have lost their lives by
drowning and many others are re-
ported missing, including three en-
tire families. The known dead are:
Roach Gayhart.
Mrs. Roach Gayhart and infant.
William Conley.
The bodies of two men have been
recovered, but these have not been
identified. The body of a woman
was seen, but because of the swift
current no one was able to reach it.
The reported missing are:
A Gayhart child.
Family of John Shepherd.
Family of Benton Whitaker.
Family of William Bailey.
The cloudburst occurred at he
head waters of the stream at 8
o'clock this morning, catching the
people in their beds, and affording
small chance for escape. Buildings
were swept away and crops are
ruined. The meager reports which
have been received indicate that the
damage will be great.
The country is billy, and all of the
houses within five miles of the head
OF Licking river were lifted from
their foundations as the waters
rushed through the narrow valleys.
There are about six miles of the
stricken territory that nobody has
been able to enter, and the work Of
the searching parties has been de-
layed on account of the high waters.

TO EXEMPT FARM PRODUCTS.
BILL TO THAT EFFECT CAUSES
DEBATE IN LEGISLATURE.
Hall Says 1t Would Not Help Poor
Farmer, But the Glass Who Lie in
the Shade and Drink Ni-Beer.


ATLANTA Ga.-Practicall all OF
the time of the house devoted to bus
mess this morning was consumed in
a discussion of the amendment to the
state constitution proposed by Mr..
Johnson of Barlow, exempting farm
products in the hands of the pro-
Queer from taxation for one year.
Exemption of Farm Products.
The amendment proposed is as
follows: 'All unmanufactured farm
products, including baled cotton in
the hands of the producer and grown
in this state, shall be exempt from
taxation for the year next after their
production.
The debate in favor of the amend
ment was opened by Mr.. Alexander
of DeKalb. He said it was not pro-
posed to give the farmer any special
privilege, but simply to relieve this
great producing class, on which the
very life of the state depends, of
some of its burdens.
Mr.. Hall of Bibb replied, assailing
the bill as going to the very life of
the basic principles of democratic
government, which was equality of
rights and burdens.
No property should be exempt
from taxation" said Mr.. Hall. 1.-The
fact that the product of my labor
is in farm products is no more reason
why it should be exempt than it
should be if it were in money. This
Dill would violate the very essential
principles Of equal rights. Laws of
the sort which it is sought to enact
here are the curse of the country
now. 1t is for this reason that the
masses are now groaning under the
burdens of class legislation"
Would Not Help Farmers.
Mr.. Hall denied that the bill would
help the poor farmer or the tenant.
You who want this measure" he
said, will lie on your backs in the
shade drinking near beer, cocktails,
gin t1zZes, etc., while the poor man
who makes the cotton is sweating be-
hind a mule with his coat off. This
is vital principle, a holy principle.
In this measure is the entering wedge
OF class legislation, which would in
crease the burdens of the people and
1nJure every man you hope to bene-
fit.
The bill did not reach a vote be-
fore the hour Of adjournment.

LEGISLATURE DOING NOTHING
QUORUMS ARE USUALLY FOUND
AT THE BASEBALL PARK.
Begins to Look Like This Will Be
One of the Most Fruitless Ses-
siOns That Ever Was Held.

ATLANTA, Ga.-The question put
to all the legislators, both senators
and Representatives, who could be
found around the Hobbies of Atlanta
hotels today, was what business they
would do tomorrow, and none of
them could answer.
In reply to a question as to what
his body would do tomorrow one SEN
ator said:
Why, the~Senate has nothing to
do. We have to wait on the house. ."
None of the house members could
tell anything about what their body
would take up at tomorrow's meet
ing. The truth about the matter is,
as the people will ascertain when it
is all over, that this session of the
legislature will have been the most
futile one ever held in the history
of the state. Aside from drawing as
much of the peoples money as they
can lay their hands upon, there will
be nothing doing.
Did Kill One Measure.
The session may be an improve
ment upon the last one in that there
is no one to fire out of office this
summer, but the people will remem-
Der when their Representatives"
take themselves home that the only
thing they have done this year was
to vote down the measure providing
for biennial sessions.
There was some hope that the ses-
sion might result in some construct
i've legislation, that some of the
planks of the last democratic plat
form might be carried into effect, be-
fore a gubernatorial campaign was
precipitated, but now it is quite GER
tain that practically nothing will be
done.
The people will keep a close watch
upon the amount of work done and
the hours of working of this legisla-
ture, and later on will recall that
for the first week the house Labor
ed nine and half hours and the
senate two and quarter hours-and
that this is the general assembly
which has overwhelmingly voted
down biennial sessions, because they
haven't time enough to attend to the
states business, when the fact, as it
is being quoted, is that since they
met larger quorum could be found
on the baseball ground than in either
house.

WOMAN STUMPS

llILo. July 22.-Nakookoo and his
fol overs held publ, meeting al

looked as If the AFFAIR was to be a
fiat failure. for at the hour at which
the meeting was advertised to start
there was just one man there. Aft.

as the evening progressed passers-by
dropped in ana added to II. There
were at most thirty men. a dozen
women and a few children present,
which is a pretty poor showing for

that he would call OH the presidents

but that gentleman excused himself
on account of hoarseness. J. p. Hale
was then called.
Hale opened by saying that he
did not want to attack the liquor

ness which had been legalized. III

ed States that we are not At to gov
ern ourselves" said Hale, repeating
the time worn falsehood. But II
we vote Yes we will show that we
have men here who are capable OF
making our own laws. Some people
say that in such case only the rich
can get liquor, but If there are no
saloons. the poor man can save his
money and send to the mainland for
his liquor"
who will then get the bene'
1T from that money-the United
Statcs?" asked woman.
Hale was apparently stumped, but
the chair came to his rescue. an
nouncing that owing to the limited
time no questions could be answered.
President Edmunds OF the Kalaea
club made a short speech, in which
he, among other things. said that
liquor was responsible in the main
for the overthrow of the monarchy.
President kama of the Waiakea
club was called for, but he was not
present. Elder Smith of the Nor
mon church took his place, speaking
In Hawaiian. He dwelt on the mis-
cry for which liquor was responsible
on the mainland, and maintained
/ that much of the recent crime In Ho-
nolulu was due to booze.
Nakookoo's first proposition was
that liquor was the main cause OF
the overthrow. On the 26th the Ha
waiian people had to choose between

Nakookoo finally denied the report
that he was being paid for his work.
