SOUTHERN CITY ABLAZE
Lake st. Charles, La, Swept by Fire
Two Thousand People Home
lesbos 100000.

Lake St. Charles. La. April "a
Famed by a high wind, fire today
swept over twenty or more blocks Of
the city, destroying several hundred
buildings and resulting in a property
loss estimated at about So, 600, 600. Two
thousand persons have been rendered
homeless.
1t was almost o'clock tonight when
the fire, which followed a nOrtheasterly
direction from the business section, fin
ally reached the outskirts OF the city,
burning itself out.
Many houses IN the path OF the flames
were dynamited. The city hall, the
handsome court house, the Clair hotel,
churches, stores and warehouses, were
destroyed.
Early estimates OF the fire which
placed the damage at 100000, are
now believed to be excessive and more
conservative figures range from one to
two million.
The Calcasiu parish court house,
which was destroyed, cost several hun
dred thousand dollars. All the parish
records were destroyed.
Investigation tonight indicates that
there were no casualties.
The Catholic convent was destroyed
but the nuns and their charges were
given shelter in the homes of Catholic
families in the city.
No disorder marked the excitement,
but the mayor ordered the local COM

SHOT HIS MOTHER IN-LAW
Charles ]. Weller Makes Full Comics
sion of His Crime to Tacoma
Prosecuting Attorney,

Tacoma, Wash, April 23.-Compiete
ly unnerved and weeping Historically
Charles J. Weller, extrad1ted from San
Francisco Friday in connection with
the murder of Mrs. Frederick A. Schulz
at Gig Harbor, April 4, made lengthy
signed confession to Sheriff Tom Nor
ris and Prosecuting Attorney McMur-
ray tonight, admitting his guilt.
Constant brooding over the loss of
his two children, who were taken away
from him a year ago when his wife
obtained a divorce in Seattle, is given
by Weller as the primary cause of the
murder. Mrs. Schulz was Wezier' 8
mother-i n-law, and he blamed her for
much of his domestic troubles. Weller
said he did not intend to kill Mrs.
Schulz, but lured her to Gig Harbor
with a decoy letter in order that he
might make an appeal for his children.
He says when Mrs. Schulz refused to
make any arrangements and demanded
1000 alimOny for her daughter, he
lost ali control of himself and shot her
down.

Operating in favor Of the early pas
sage of the five administration bills,
which are the railroad bill, the state
hood bill, the postal savings bank bill,
the conservation bill and the anti-in-
junction bill, are two factors. One is
the fact that number of Republican
members Of each House wish to get
back home as soon IS possible to pre-
pare for the coming congressional cleo
tiOns. Another is that the passage of
measures advocated in the Republican
program Is the surest way, the leaders
believe, of preventing further Demo-
cratic congressional inroads.
The statehood bill has passed the
House, one conservation bill has passed
the Senate and the anti-inJunction bill
IS almost ready to be reported favor
ably to the House.
OF the five measures, the pc .al saw
fngs bank bill, the President has been
told, is in the greatest danger, for, al
though IL has passed the Senate, it viii
have rough time, it is said in the
House committee on postoffices and
postroads.

In accordance with the wishes Of the
family, the services today were brief
and simple. The only music was an
organ prelude, the Death of Ase," by
Grleg. There was q modest display Of
white lilies, lilies of the valley, white
and red roses, orchids and sweet peas,
about the coffin. Those who wished
were permitted to view the features.
Invitation was by card, but after the
friends Of the family had been seated
the church was we'll filled by the gem
eral public. In all, the services took
but half an hour.
In his address DR.. Van Dyke said in
part:
This is not the place nor the time
for an euiOgy of the famous writer,
the hOnored and representative Ameri-
can. Here we are all of us simply hu-
man. The touch Of grief is upon US.
We think OF Mark Twain, not as the
celebrity, but the man whom we knew
and loved.
Mark Twain's Humor.
Those who know his work as a
whole know that under the lambert
and irrepressible humor which was his
gift, there was a foundation of serious
thought and noble affections and de-
sires. The mark Of his highest humor
is there, it does not laugh at the weak,
the helpless, the true, the innocent.

In view of Republican division on
the subject of postal savings banks leg
islation, the attitude of the Democratic
minority of the House on the subject
has become Of interest. Representa-
tive Champ Clark, Il er of the minor
ity, was asked today hat the Demo-
cratic position would be.
The Democrats viii never stand for
the Senate postal savings bank BILL
he said. ut looks also as il the Re-
publicans were not going to stand for
it either
Postal savings banks were favored
in the Democratic national platform,
but only in the event a guarantee Of
bank deposits by the govern ment was
found impossible to accomplish. When
we find out what sort of a bill the Re-
publicans on this siG5 are going to
bring in, we shall then be able to de-
termine what our attitude will be re-
garding it.
1T is one of the most important
pieces of legislation in Congress and
it win have TO be given thorough con-
sideratiOn.'
