ROOSEVELT GOES BELOW
 AND ACTS AS STOkER

On Board the Kaiserin Auguste Vic toria, via Wireless to London, June 16. Theodore Roosevelt completed his round of the ship by visit to the ctokehold. where he grasped the grimy ids of the stokers and chatted with them as if they were the crew of his own private yacht.
 The visit to the stokehold was one of the most interesting events of the trip and the stokers did their best to show their appreciation of the honor.
 Those who were on the off-shift tidied themselves up as much as possi- ble but Roosevelt seemed even more anxious to shake the hands of those who were actually engaged in feeding the huge furnace. As one of these laid down his shovel, Roosevelt grabbed it up and showed that he knew something about the knack Of stoking, by shifting" several shoveIs of coal over the glowing bed of coal.
 The stokers cheered the colonel heartily when they saw he was one or them After his visit below Roose- welt held formal reception on deck Tor the first and second class pas sengers.

DOnning a resptrator, he entered the smoke-filled basement and carried out three men in his arms Roland was pronounced dead at the city dispen- sary.
 The three men, among whom was Roland, entered the basement of the burning building by steps leading from the interior of the first floor. After they were inside the basement they were attacked on all sides by the flames and smoke, and in an ef fort to reach air sought safety in a ventilation hole, which opened up on the sidewalk.
 For half an hour it was impossible to control the flames, which ate their way through oil-soaked floors with ease.
 Chief Swingley and Assistant Chief Rucker took personal charge of the fight, and for 30 minutes refused to permit any fremen to enter the burn ing building. Explosions of oil were expected at any minute.
 Reports of the amount of oil in the building varied. It was asserted there were 15,000 gallons of gasoline in the basement and more than 150 barrels of lubricating oils on the upper floors.

lABORERS IN EMPLOY OF ONTA- RIO POWER co. TRAPPED LIKE
 RATS WHILE ASLEEP.
EIGHT OTHERS ARE HURT
Carousal Is Believed to Have Led Up to the Confiagraton and Catastrophe Near Mi
 agara Falls

Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 16.- Twelve laborers were burned to death at Falls City, Ontario. Eight others are badly burned and are in Niagara Falls hospital.
 The origin of the fire is unknown, but it is presumed, was caused by carelessness following an all-night ca r0usal at Niagara Falls, ontario, fol lowing a carnival and celebration.
 The men were employees ef the On tario Power company and were caught like rats in a partly constructed tene- menr.
 The men whose lives were snuffed out were members of the day gang of the power company. When the night shift relieved the day gang many of the latter went to Niagara Falls. Ontario, where a carnival was being held They indulged in the festivi- ties, and, it is believed, imbibed too freely.
 The report is that when they reached their tenement at the Falls shortly after midnight they were in toxicated Matches were ignited and dropped to the floor, setting fire to the frame partitions in the building.
 The colony of workmen is outside the city limits and there was no water protection.
