cUMMlNs FIRES GUNS IN KANSAS
Says Cannon and AIdrich Are Traitors
to Party and Country
As Well

PEABODY. Kans., July Ex-senator
Albert B. Cummings, of Iowa, in his
speech before the Chautauqua here to-
day, asserted that Senator Aldrich and
Speaker Cannon were traitors to their
party, if not to the country, when
they gave their support to the Wick
ersham railroad bill as it came from
the attorney generals office, and de
manded that it so through congress.
THAT bill was a direct reputation
of the republican party platform of
1908 and it was directly in the interest
of the railroad and not in the inter,
est of the great common people of the
country" said Senator Cummins.
Speaker Cannon and Senator Aid
rich and men of their class seem to
think the republican party was formed
to make men rich. / think it was
born to make men free. They think
it was born to make men millionaires; !;
believe it was born to drive misery
out of this country.
Senator Aldrich has vigorously op-
posed all regulations of the railroads
by congress, ever since the bill to
create the interstate commerce COM
mission was introduced in 1887. I was
born, and always have been, a repub-
lican, but l cannot, and will not fol-
low the leadership of traitor to his
party and the people,"

RAILROADS WIN IN
LUMBER CASE
Coast Shippers Lose in Court-Mas-
terry in Chancery Holds Rate
From Portland to Points
East of Pembina Too
Low

ST. PAUL, July 23.-The railroads
won substantial victory in the find
ings, filed today, of Frederick N. Dick
son, master in chancery. These are
the preliminary findings in the lumber
rate suit instituted in the fall of 1908
against the interstate commerce COM
mission by the Great Northern, North
ern Pacific, Union Pacific and Chicago
Burlington & Quincy companies. They
were served on the attorneys of both
sides.
The lumber rates established by the
interstate commerce commission from
the Pacific Coast to all points west of
the Pembina line. which is made up of
tho western boundaries of Minnesota
and Iowa, are sustained, but the rates
from the coast to points east of that
line are declared to be unreasonably
low.
The railroads ask for rate of so
cents hundredweight on lumber
shipped from Portland, Ore, to st.
Paul and for go cents from Portland to
Chicago. The interstate commerce
commission cuts this to As cents from
Portland to st. Paul and SO cents from
Portland to Chicago.
Mr.. Dickson upholds the conten-
tions of the railroads and recon-
mends an injunction multiplying the or
mission on these rates and on other
lumber rates from the coast to points
east of the Pembina line.

HUMAN HOLOCAUST
WOMAN AND man LOSE LIVES In
BURNING HOTEL.
Hotel HOquiam DESTROYED by fire
Friday forming. Two Occupants
burned to Death and Several In
jpred In Escaping. Absence of Fire
Safeguards Is Noticeable.

The Hotel HOquiam was destroyed
by fire early Friday morning, and two
of its occupants were burned to death
and several seriously injured in es-
Gaping from the burning building. The
fire, was discovered at lis a. IN. and
in a few minutes the huge frame struc-
ture was a seething mass of flames.
Mrs. Mary Olson, aged II years, and
c. T.. Janette, aged 80, were burned
to death in the building. Chas. l.. d.
Greganza jumped from window into
blanket, as did Look Wing, a Chin
ESQ cook, and both were severely in
jured-
The Hoquiam fire department was
promptly on the scene, and the Alb
erdeen chemical engine made the run
to the fire in 10 minutes, but the
building was doomed, and all the fire.
men could do was to assist the escape
of the occupants of the house, and pre-
vent the spread of the flames to 9th
er buildings. The heat was intense,
and at the beginning it looked as if
the business district of HOquiam
would be destroyed. A sudden shift
of the direction of the wind was all
that saved disastrous spread of the
fire.
Mrs. Olson was seen by William
Ruston as he was leaving the build
ing, and he tried to take her with
him, but the old lady persisted in 60
ing back to her room for something.
When her body was found the next
day. a purse containing $65 was ly-
ing near, which was doubtless what
she had gone to save. Charles o.
son, her son, with whom she lived,
was working that night at the Nation
al mill, where he is millwright,
and his grief over his loss was most
pathetic.
c. E. Janette was a lineman in the
employ of the telephone company, and
had a wife and son in Tacoma, who
came to Hoquiam Saturday and took
the remains to Tacoma for burial yes
terday.
The hotel was built in 1899 and oc-
cupied as a hotel in June, 1900. 1t
was owned by corporation known
as the Hotel company. For about
five years it was conducted by that
concern and was later operated by
DR.. Lycan. r. Knott held mortgage
off his hands by Mr.. H. c. Heermans
now in Corning, N. Y, with his wife
on visit.
The cost of the old Hoquiam hotel
with it's furnishings was approx
mately $4,000. 1t was never a pay
ing investment. After being stripped
of it's hotel furnishings the place was
utilized as an apartment house. 1t
was one of the picturesque landmarks
of the city and reminder of the
boom days.
OF late years it was occupied as an
apartment house, and since the fire
surprise is expressed THAT no fire
escapes or other protection was pro-
vided in a four story building that
