stated to have been caused by the
death of his stepmother last winter
who, in making her will, failed to

his full share of the real estate. This
is conjecture only by those who are
in position to know, but the suppos

mind, causing species of dementia
ultimately leading to his death by his

his death is he took identically the

Vienna, March 30. - Austria-Hun-
gary's most terrible catastrophe since
the Ring theater was burned in 1881,
occurred when 400 persons were kill
ed in fire that broke out in a large
coach house which had been fitted up
as dance hall at the village of
Oekoerito, near Mate-Szalka. More
than a hundred survivors of the ca
tastrophe were shockingly injured.
Many of these will probably die.
One Of the paper lanterns became
ignited, and before the blaze could be
quenched the festoon above became
ignited. The fire ran with lightning
rapidity, catching branch after
branch Of the resin-filled pine boughs
with which the hall was decorated.
Did Not Heed Warning.
At first those in the hall watched
the blaze with an air of half-amuse-
ment, apparently not realizing the
peril. Within a short space of time,
however, those nearest the door be-
gan to make their way out, but very
few had passed into the air before
the whole ceiling was roaring mass
Of flames. Then it was that a panic
seized the dancers. AS If with a
single impulse they rushed to the
door, where a terrific battle took
place. All self-control and even the
respect for age or sex seemed to
vanish. While the foremost of the
crowd, that was now completely fren-
zied, were pushing, clamoring aud
struggling like wild animals, the ter
ror-stricken mass behind pressed on,
creating such jam that the door
could not be forced open. Children
and the weaker of the adults went
down before the maddened rush. The
stronger clambered over the pros
trate bodies |of the less fortunate and
still pressed on from behind. Speed

pied to death or suffocated, while

spread from one person to another.
The terrible scene was at its height

Columbus, o., March 20. - Friends
of the Woods public utilities bill raj
lied to it's support during the debate
In the house, and by asserting their
strength at critical stages Of the
game defeated amendments offered
by those who sought to materially
change its scope and purpose.
First they defeated an effort to
limit the expenditures, then they
killed an amendment to permit
courts to do as they wished In either
sending bark or refusing to do so
cases appealed from the commission
to the courts; and third, they defeat
ed an amendment designed to favor
corporations in making it discretion
airy whether the new or old rate was
to prevail during the pendency of lit
igation, following action by the COM
mission in rate adjustments.
AS the bill now stands, there is no
limit on expenditures of the commits
sion, except such as made in appro-
priations allowed by the legislature;
onnA IN ha
mission 10, rehearing complaints in
connection with which new evidence
is turned UP after appeal is made to
the courts; and pending litigation
over changes in rates, the old or the
lower rate is to prevail.
Brenner Leads Attack.
When tn" house adjourned there
was pending for action today an
amendment to eliminate the pro-
vision that public service corpora
tions may now own more than 25 per
cent of the stock of any corporation.
Representative Brenner of Clark
county led the fight against and Rep
resentative Woods of Medina for the
bill. The action may or may not fore
cast it's passage, but it does show
strong sentiment for the essentials OF
the advanced measure. The vote on
| the question Of rates to prevail dur
ing litigation was 26 for to 66
against, the latter number represent
ing friends of the bill so far as its
general purpose is concerned.
The senate passed the Geleerd
white slave bill, which provides peni-
| tentiary sentences for those who en-
| gage in traffic in women. 1t passed
the house three weeks ago. The Pat
teTson' measure, designed to prevent
annual sessions of the legislature,
was passed by the senate.
1t is almost certainty that the
| legislature viii conclude its active
sessions April q and then recess un-
til May for final session. The
senate Judiciary committee informal
ly agreed upon these dates and 1t is
said house leaders are favorable to
the plan.
