25O DIE IN
THE FLAMES

Mate SzalaSa, Hungary, March 2S.-
Two hundred and fifty persons were
killed and many others injured in the
village of Oeioerite, when a fire broke
out where a ball was being Aeld.
A coach house connected with the
hotel had been fitted up as a ball
room and last nigat was crowded by
several hundred guests. The fire was
started when a wonan's dress caught
fire and a moment later the gowns of
several other women were in fiaanes.
A panic followed and in a mad rusl
to the exits many persons fell and
we're trampled to death. To make
matters worse the roof fell in before
the hall could be cleared and many
were injured and those who had been
unable to escape because of the crush
at the doors were buried in the ruins.

HOT SHOTS
AT SALOONS

The No-Hcense campaign mas made
great Roadway during the last two
days and the SALOONS must and will
be driven to close their doors. The
people of Roswell are aroused as nev
before, and the crowded houses at
all the meetings testify most elo
quently to this fact. =
Saturday night a great meeting
was held In the old Majestic Taea-
tire, and as usual the room was COM
pleteiy filled. This place holds close
to seven hundred, seated.
The two preliminary speakers at
this meeting were Rev. Van valken-
burg. and A. ]. Crawford, and both
brought out many interesting and
telling points. Then came the address
by the California Wizard" and as
usual it was a rafting good one. Mr.
Hall is always there with the goods.
But the great meeting of the last
two days was that held at four o.
clock In the Armory. 1t was q corkei
FROM start to finish. The building was
crowded, and yesterday taere were
exactly 964 seats in the building, with
some unable to find seats.
After the close OF the address by
Mr.. Hall, a collection was taken to
help along the great cause now being
pushed by the people of Roswell, ir-
respective of political party. church
or creed. In slightly less than fifteen
minutes the sum of SHOP had been
freely offered Ly the great gathering

cd. This fact alone shows that the
people are not only aroused, but are
willing to contribute to the good
cause. This money was cheerfulfy and
freely offered; no assessment of $500
per saloon need be made by the No
license people.
Mfr. Hall did all the talking at tais
meeting. and ne did it to rne Queens
taste.
The greater part of the address was
taken up In describing the products

pations, the finished products" bac.

VIRGINIA AND THE INCOME TAX.

Quite a sensation has been caused
in the country by the action OF the
Virginia House Of Delegates in vot-
ing against the proposed sixteenth
amendment for the Incorporation OF
the power TO the national govern
ment 90 levy an income tax. The
action was all the more noticeable
from the fact that II was a national
Democratic Party measure and had
been urgently recommended by
Gov. Claude a. Swanson before his
retirement from the office OF Chief
Executive Of this commonwealth.
The advocates OF the amendment
brought Senator Joseph W. Bailey.
of Texas, into the state and when
the legislature agreed to extend to
him an invitation to address the body
IL was considered that every thing
was over except the shouting. %
When he left. the vote was taken.
and the states rights contingent OF
the Democratic legislators saw in the
new measure an infringement Of their
rights and privileges. AS a result the
amendment lost out" in this state.
We are OF the opinion that the old
line Democrats were consistent. and
took no backward step. The rights
of states have been jealousy guard
ed. and that this new measure would
have had a tendency to increase the
power and prestige Of the federal
government hardly admits OF a ques.
ton
Other states will no doubt vote
the same way as Virginia and it will
be again demonstrated that to
change tho constitution OF the United
States is a task OF monumental pro-
portions.
