now contesting for the Glidden trophy
pulled into Columbia Thursday morn
ing. where they spent pleasant hour,
the drivers taking lunch at the Hotel
Bethel.
Columbia and the State Sunday
school convention turned out to grace
the occasion, and there were more
/ than one thousand persons on the
streets to witness the passing of the
tourists. West Seventh street was a
mass of color, for it was here that fair
feminity, gay in costumes that r1valed
the rainbow for hues, was massed. In
front of the Columbia Savings &
Trust Company building more than
one hundred ladies were seated. while
the streets were lined from this point
for a block in either direction.
At the court house and in all the
down town buildings fronting the line
Of tour the windows we're packed and
jammed with curious humanity. 9th
ers were comfortably seated in auto
mobiles and buggies. Many residents
of the surrounding country were pres
ent, and the occasion was one that will
long linger in the memory Of those
permitted to witness it. Local suto-
mobilists had brought out their cars
and at least thirty local machines were
ranged on either side of w. Seventh
street in front Of the clubs, hotel and
other buildings.
The bicycle brigade" composed or
some fifteen small boys, met the ad-
vance car at some distance from the
city. This was the only formal re-
ception accorded the visitors, although
they were given lunch at the hotel and
facilities for replenishing water and
gasoline in the machines were fur
nished.
The First Car

durance driver of the American Auto |

the city In the oficiall pilot car, q |
Chalmers 49," with him were Driver
Ralph Rabettle and Jimmie Riker,
who sat In the rear almost covered by /
a big bag of shredded paper which he
spread plentifully on the road for the
guidance Of the contesting cars. When

weeks ago in the Pathfinder car, while
out the proposed course, Mr..
Lewis made a number Of friends here
and was welcomed Thursday heartily.
A few minutes behind him came the
second pilot car. driven by C. G. STEM
Dr., representative of the Cleader Lead
Dr. and other Ohio newspapers.
From this moment the various en-

which had been beyond reach of wa
ground. The chemical engine from No.
1 prevented a shed near the blazing
mill from taking fire. The smaller
building had begun to smoke from the
intense heat.
This began to get terrific as the
grain caught fire. AS the bins began
to burn, the corn and wheat poured
out and through the cracking walls of
the mill in a yellow flood. This ma
terial included about 1000 bushels of
corn and 5000 bushels of wheat, rye,
oats and kaff1r corn.
Besides this a carload of corn which
was being loaded at the mill when the
fire started was saved by being hauled
away by a passing switch engine Nine
teen other carloads of corn were be-
ing prepared for shipment and were
lost in the fire.
The prevailing opinion is that if a
fire steamer had been stationed on the
North side much of the building and
contents might have been saved This
measure has been urged by the State
Journal several times within the last
month. Mayor Billiard had stated that
a fire steamer would be installed in the
near future at Station No 1, but that
Fire Chief Wilmarth saws the building
is not large enough to accommodate
the engine and extra men which would
be needed for it. In the meantime. the
other mills and sash factory are liable
to such a disaster as happened Satur-
day. This has been pointed out by the
State Journal frequently.

both the spring wheat country and the

BURNED TO THE GROUND
Forbes Mills and Elevator a Total
Loss.

Only the burned shell Of the lower
half of the tall three-story FORBES
Bros elevator at Norris and North
Harrison streets is now standing. The
was destroyed by fire Saturday after
noon and now lies on the ground a
mass of twisted sheet iron and charred
corn and wheat. The total loss is est1-
mated at about $4,000, including
building and grain. The building was
worth $4,000 and insured for $4,000.
The grain was worth, tits said, in the
nefghborhood of $4,000 and insured
for $1,000. Theodore Forbes. one of
the proprietors, says that the elevator
will be rebuilt on its present site.
George n. Goodrich aerial truck
man at fire headquarters. While sliding
off the seat of the truck caught his
knee between the apparatus in such a
way that his knee cap was twisted out
of place. The cap was torn loose from
the ligaments and pushed around to
the other side of the knee. He was
taken to Christ's hospital
This happened early in the fire. The
blaze was discovered about 3 o'clock.
The cause is unknown. 1t started in
the dust catcher in the top of tue
building and is thought to have prob
ably originated from hot box in
some machinery on the top floor. Hot
air is drawn through the dust catcher
and one theory is that a spark may
have been thus carried from overhead
ed machinery into combustible ma
terial.
Such superstition is not held by w. E.
Wise, the superintendent who discoV-
cred the dust catcher in flames as he
was climbing to the third floor of the
elevator. He shouted the alarm to
Theodore Forbes, one of the proprie-
tors of the mill, who was at the Of
fee a short distance east. Mr.. Forbes
notified headquarters and then with
great presence of mind turned off the
gas in the elevator. Had il not been
for this the fire would have been more
difficult to handle.
AS it was, the building burned rap
idly. 1t was about IS years old. 1t
was covered with corrugated iron and
this material fell in red Eot sheets.
The ladder on the south side also fell
across the telephone wires. putting
phones out of service.
The top of the building was a mass
of flames before the fire department
arrived. And the pressure was so poor
that the water scarcely reached the
burning third story. The hose gave
out a yellowish stream which seemed
to be as much sand as water.
All companies from Nos i, and
fought the flames. The company from
No. was held in readiness. The
steamer from No. aided in forcing UP
the pressure and with the aerial truck
parts of the burning top were reached

VAN CLEAVE IS DEAD.
He Was a Leader of the Opposition
to Labor Unions.

st. Louis, May 16.-J. w. Van
Cleave, former president of the Ma
tional Manufacturers association, died
of heart disease at his home here
Sunday.
His death was a shock to his rela-
tives and friends who had been hope
full of his recovery for the last ten
days during which he had shown
marked improvement. Mr.. Van Cleave
was nearly 81 years old. Until six
months ago he was in robust health.
H. c. Thompson, for thirty years his
business associate, said Mr.. Van
Cleave's breakdown could be traced to
his war with the labor unions.
Mr.. Van Cleave attracted interna-
tional attention and became a power
to contend with in the large political
parties in national conventions by
reason of his uncompromising attitude
toward the big union labor leaders.
When the Buck Stove & Range COM
pany, of which he was president, was
boycotted following a dispute with a
local union, he obtained an injunc-
ton against Samuel Gompers. presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor; John Mitchell, formerly presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers OF
America, and Frank Morrison, secre-
