THIRTY LIVES LOST.
Big FIRE In The MONTREAL
HERALD OFFICE.
Most Bindery Girls and Linotype Oper.
ators-Their Bodies Buried in the
Wreck-Stitf Wind Was Blowing
Cries of Victims Horrifying-Rescue
Had to be Abandoned.

Montreal, Quebec, June 13.-Bodies
of probably 35 bindery girls and limo.
type men are buried beneath tons OF
the wrecked machinery in the base
ment of the Herald building in this
city, which was burned today. Many
of the girls met their death in slow
torture.
Flames crept slowly upon them as
they lay helpless and as rescue party
was fighting to penetrate the building
The victims were carried downward
through the building by huge water
tank which plunged from roof to eel
lar. Almost instantly there was al
explosion of gas from severed pipes
which hung about the sides of the i'm
mense Jagged hole.
Flames, famed by stiff wind, were
soon sweeping the upper floors of the
building. Scores of persons in the edi
torial and other departments had tC
fight for their lives through smoke and
wreckage.
The fire department could make little
impression on the increasing flames
Cries of the buried victims rose ovei
the shouts of the iremen and the crowd
Although the flames were steadily in
creasing it appeared for time as il
some who had been hurled to the base
ment might be rescued.
The police headed volunteer party
which, protected by water curtain
formed by streams from hose, tried tt
enter the building. With the opening
of the doors the groans and cries Of
those pinned in the ruins became more
distinct. A wall of flame suddenly
arose.
Gradually the cries died out. All at
tempts at rescue soon had to be aban
doned.

PINCHOT AGAIN
HAS A FEW THINGS
TO SAY ON EVERYTHING

St. Paul, Mimi, June 12.-Gifford
Pinchot, former chief forester, Satur-
day night brandished the fbig stick
over the special interests, castigated
congress, roasted machine politics, APP
plauded insurgency and preached a
sermon before the Roosevelt club of
this city.
He began with a defiance to those
who sought to belittle conservation, and
ended with philippe against Gun
clean politics for revenue only"
"Because the special interests are
in politics we, as nation, have lost
faith in congress-" he declared.
"This is serious statement to
make, but it is true. 1t does not APP
ply, of course, to the men who really
represent their constituents and who
are making so fine fight for the con-:
servation of self government. As
soon as these men have won their
battle and consolidated their victory,
confidence in congress will return.
"But in the meantime the people of
the United States believe that as
whole the senate and the house are
no longer representing the voters by
whom they are elected, but the special
interests by whom they are controlled.
They believe so because they have so
often seen congress reject what the
people desire, and do instead what the
interests demand
Continuing, Pinchot nominated Sem
ator Nelson w. Aldrich, titular head
of the senate, for membership in the
undesirable citizen club, - declaring
that cat the very time the duties on
manufactured rubber were raised the
leader of the senate, in company with
the Guggenheim syndicate, was organ
izing an international rubber trust,
whose charter made it almost a hold
ing company for the coal and copper
| deposits of the world"

BILL PASSED THE HOUSE
GIST OF THE BILL

Under the terms of the postal savings
bank bill passed by the house a board
of trustees is created, consisting of the
postmaster general, the secretary of the
treasury and the attorney general, who
shall declare what postoffices shall be-
come postal savings banks.
Deposits in these banks made by any
one person shall not be more than 800
a month or exceed total of $500. The
account may be opened with 81, but
stamps of 10 cents each will be issued
for those desiring to accumulate money
to be deposited. On deposits per
cent interest is to be paid.
Any depositor so desiring can ex-
change his deposits for government
bonds to be issued in denominations of
$40, $40, $50, $50, 800 or $500 to bear
interest at 215 per cent.
The money accumulated in the postal
savings bank is to be deposited in both
national and state banks in the vicin-
ity of the postoffices in which the
money is deposited by the people, such
banks to pay ? IA per cent interest.
Five per cent of the total deposits
is to be retained by the secretary of
the treasury as cash reserve.

deposits may be withdrawn by the gov

ment in bonds of the United States, the
remaining 65 per cent to remain on de-
posit in the banks.

of national, state, municipal or other
such bonds, approved by the board of
trustees in charge of the postal savings
banks.

substitute for the senate bill differs
from the senate measure in many par
ticulars, chiefly in respect to the ma
ture of securities that may be given by
banks for deposits of postal savings
funds.
In addition to government, state and
municipal bonds, various other classes
of securities, such as mortgages, may
be received.
