FIVE HUNDRED YOUNG
WOMEN TRAPPED IN
BURNING BUILDING

dow ledges and taken to hospitals,
Every available ambulane in the
city was called into service, and for
a time the scene resembled that
which followed the great Iroquois
theatre fire in Chicago.
After the building had been gut
ted by the flames, the walls col
lapsed, burying many of the victims
beneath great piles of debris from
which it will be extremely difficult
to recover their bodies.
Scores of picked firemen were set
to work Immediately in an effort to
clear their way into the red hot
ruins, so that it may be determined
at the earliest possible moment Just
howsmany young woman were roast
ed to death.
In the panic which accompanied
the fire many of the girl employees
were lost in the crowds, and disap-
peared before their relatives arrived
at the scene, so that scores of fran
tic mothers sought their daughters
in vain, and abandoned hope of ever
finding them, although they prob
ably were safe.
1t is possible that the fire started
from a gasoline explosion, but the
completeness of the destruction
wrought makes almost hopeless any
endeavor to ascertain definitely the
cause of the disaster.
Men who had assisted in the res
cue work and showed their bravery
beyond question, sicl0ened this af-
ternoon after the walls fell and were
compelled to leave the scene.
IT cannot stand the sight of the
pavements splattered with blood
from the poor girls who jumped
from the windows. 1t is too much"
said one of the rescuerers, as he
was carried away by his friends.
The workers say that during the
fire the heat was so intense that 1t
was sometime before the injured
could be removed from the side
walks where they fell to be taken to
the hospitals. 1t was impossible
for men to approach and many
stout workmen were overcome by
the sight of the injured girls lying
on the seething paVements.

This afternoon it was unofficially
announced that the American would
attempt to establish a new three-lap
speed record, carrying one passenger.
Hamilton, who has been pursued
by misfortune since the beginning of
the meet, said that he probably would
make his second attempt for the al
titude record and one for sustained
flight this afternoon.
What Paulhan has in mind to
thrill the spectators with this after
noon is a fit subject for speculation.
The daring Frenchman is always
close-mouthed about what he intends
to do. With few exceptions, he does
not even confide in his manager

TO HELP
SERVICE PENSIONS
PRESIDENT TELLS PROMOTERS
OF THE SYSTEM THAT HE is
HEARTILY IN FAVOR OF 1T.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-President
Taft today gave his formal indorse-
ment to the movement looking to a
civil service pension system. This
was done in an address at the execu-
tive offices of the White House to
members of the Civil Service Retire
ment Association which appeared be-
fore him in formidable numbers.
In addition to expressing his sympa-
thy with the movement, the President
said that while he had done all he
could in that direction by his recon-
mendations to Congress, he would still
retain an interest in the matter, and
in SO far as he possibly could, take
measures to influence the legislative
body in favor of some suitable system
for caring for those who retire from
the Government service.

ARMY
ON MARCH AGAIN
RUMoRS OF DECISIVE CONFLICT
IMPENDING, CONFIRMED BY
OFFICIAL DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Rumors
of an impending and decisive battle
between the forces of Madriz and Es-
trada at Acohama, Nicaragua, midway
between the east coast and Managua
were confiremed this afternoon by Off
cial dispatches from United States
Consul Olvarez at Managua.
Mr.. Olvarez says that Madriz is hur-
rying forward troops and artillery to
the place named. In the officials
mind there is no doubt that the gov
eminent forces will go to pieces If
Estrada should win the battle. Gen.
Estrada has had nearly a month In
which to rehabilitate his army after
his battle at Rama, and the reports
have been constantly that he was re-
ceiving accessions from the routed ar
my OF Zelaya at Rama.
The impression at the state depart
ment, which is largely based on re-
ports from American officers who are
familiar with the conditions of Es-
trada's forces, is that the Nicaraguan
affair, as II is called, will be settled
definitely by the coming battle.

X. C. DAILIES
WIRE HERALD
WANT INTERVIEW WITH STUART
s. FLEMING REGARDING COL.
SWoPE'S DEATH.

That the alleged murder OF COL
Thomas Swope is a live story in Kan
sas City, where he lived during many
years of his life, and where much OF
his wealth is located, is attested by
the queries coming to the Herald from
Kansas City newspapers for informa-
ton regarding the condition of Stuart
s. Fleming, one of the executors OF
his will. Three of the leading dailies
wired The Herald Monday for inter-
views with Stuart S. Fleming, and one
of them wanted pictures from which to
make cuts. There is still much mys-
terry in Kansas City as to Col. Swopes
death, and it is evident that the opin-
ion that he was murdered is gathering
strength.

CAUSTIC CHARGES
MADE In SERMON
PREACHER SAYS CURSE OF SOUTH
is A RECKLESS DISREGARD
FOR LAW.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Jan. 10
DR.. Len G. Broughton of Atlanta. be-
fore an immense audience at the First
Baptist church last night in this city,
said in a sermon: i have spoken IN
majority of the worlds great churches
and | am forced to the conclusion that
there is something radically wrong
with present day methods in the
church. The church that will win to-
day is the one that will keep up an
eternal fight against sin. The law in
this country is getting to be a play
thing. The curse of the southern
country today is a reckless disregard
for the sanctity of the law. 1t is easy
to preach about gambling in Wall
street, and there is a good deal OF
that kind of preaching done nowadays,
but it is another thing to denounce
the gamblers that sit out before you
in the congregations. Women who
have card games in their parlors and
play for prizes are as much gamblers
as the law-breakers who meet in the
dark alleys of the city and shoot craps
at five cents crap. When the time
comes that cannot afford to denounce
sin, ! will walk out of the pulpit, burn
my Bible and join the Elks. The rich
girls of this country don't want to be-
come mothers, and they won't, and
| think that 1t is a Godsend
that they don't, because the most OF
them have not got brains enough to
take care of children If they had them.
So the future mothers must come from
the working girls, and 1t behooves the
church and the country to keep them
pure and stainless"

he assumed the duties of Office for the

To the Pastors Conference, the Sun
day Selling law was as calmly ignored
in Columbia last Sabbath as II though
it had never been dreamed of.
There was the same air OF activity
about the soda fountains, cigars were
sold to all who had the price, and II a
would-be purchaser failed to secure
his requirements there was no one TO
blame but himself.
If any attempt was made to enforce
the law that attempt was not matter
of record. In fact, it was said on Sat
urday that the law would be w1nked
at-that a tip had been handed down
by one of the factors in the Biddle
administration, and that this tip had
been accepted as official, whether au-
thorized or not.
Whether or not Mayor Biddle had
concluded to await the opinion OF the
city attorney or had simply decided to
let we'll enough alone is only matter
of conjecture One thing is certain,
selling was done SO openly and in such
a gentlemanly manner that there could
be no question raised as to the lnten-
tions of the dealers. They were
resting on the promises, too. That
was evident.

MANY REFORMS
FOR FUNERALS

At the regular meeting of the Min
listers Conference this morning the
discussion of the subject of funeral
reforms. which was commenced last
Monday was concluded. The preach
ers unanimously reached the following
conclusions on the subject:
First: The service should be very
brief.
Second. There should be very few
II any, comments by the pastor in
charge; and comment only in excep.
tional cases.
Third: The family should not re.
main in the cemetery until the grave
is filled, especially in the winter.
Fourth: Sunday funerals should,
as far as possible be discouraged.

INCREASE OF TEN
PER CENT IN WAGES
PROBABLE DEMAND BY UNITED
MINE WORKERS CONVENTION
ASSEMBLING TOMORROW.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 16.-Ten per
cent increase in wages for the bitumi-
! nous miners of North America will
probably be the demand which the In.
Mine Workers of America will make
when it opens in this city next Tues
day morning. From several sections
of the mining country reports have
come that 20 per cent increase
woul dbe asked, but the higher au-
thorities of the union do not believe
that the final proposition to the oper.
ators will include more than a 10 per
cent wage raise.
The contracts between the bitumi-
nous miners and the operators of the
following States expire on March 81;
Central and Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri,
Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma
and Texas. Contracts in Tennessee,
Wyoming, Montana, Colorado and
washington also will expire this year.
In all these States a uniform increase
OF wages will be asked.
on Feb. the Joint conference be-
tween the representatives of the min
ers an dthe operators is to be held at
Toledo, o. and there the demand of
the miners will be discussed, and con-
tracts made for Western Pennsyl.

High Water.

All of the ties, rails and fasteners
to be used in the construction of the
new line Of the Payette Valley rail
road from New Plymouth to Emmett
have been contracted for in the mar
ket and early delivery arranged for.
This is particularly gratifying to the
management of the road at this time
as there is a great demand for rail-
road construction material and ties,
rails, etc., can almost be said to be
at premium.
The contract for the grading OF
the new line has been let TO the Wes-
tern Engineering Co., of Emmett and
the concern is under contract to be-
gin the work of grading by the
twentieth Of this month The com
paay is a local one and this means
that every farmer who has a team
can, when he finishes his spring
work, put it to work on the grading
dump if he so desires.
All this week the pile driver crew
have been at work trying to put in
he bridge across the Payette, which
was taken out by the ice and high
water early in the winter. but on
Monday the river raised to such
leighth as to make it impossible to
iandle the piling in the swift water

KING FROST MAKES
EARLY APPEARANCE
Word From Fruit Growing Centers
OF Colorado and Kansas Also Por-
tions of Texas Indicate Partial
Loss Of Fruit Crop.

That master thinner of fruit has
again made an early appearance in
/ some Of the more eastern fruit grow
ing sections and according to reports
the damage in some sections to
tae fruit crop has indeed been quite
severe.
H. Harland living north of Fayette
received a telegram from a friend
living at Smith Center, Kansas, on
last Friday to the effect that the
.ruit in that vicinity was entirely
killed and asking as to conditions
Eere. Mr.. Harland at once sent
telegram that the conditions here
were never any better or the out
look for a fine crop more promising.
E. A. Blair who just last week sold
fine orchard on the bench at the
marvellous price of $500 per acre re-
ceived a letter from c. G. Smith
living at Palisade, Colorado, stating
'het on Wednesday night of last week
the only thing that saved the fruit
crop OF that entire valley was the
prompt use Of thousands of orchard
heaters. Once again mas this valley
that a successful fight
can be made against the inroads of
early spring frosts by the use Of the
orchard heater. III his communica-
lion Mr.. Smith stated that those who
used the orchard heaters were scarce
y touched and those who were not .
have again suffered a heavy
oss.
The word also comes from various
sources that Texas fruit in some sec
ions has also been damaged this
spring by the early spring frosts. So
ar the conditions in this valley are
excellent and there were never any
brighter prospects for bumper crop
# fruit than at present.
