OHIO TOGA FIGHT
COMES TO CLIMAX
Democratic Members Of the
Lower House Hold Meet
ing at Columbus.
(American News Service)

Columbus, O., Dec. 22.-The round
ing up here today of the Democratic
members-elect of the lower branch of
the legislature, to discuss plans for or
ganization and other matters prelim-
mary to the opening of the legisla-
tive session next month, is expected
to help considerably IN clearing the
atmosphere surrounding the United
States senatorship. Though the meet
ing of the house members is not in
tended in any way to settle the senat-
orial contest the feeling prevails
among politicians that the present op-
portunity of getting together for dis
cussion will result in something more
definite on which to base senatorial
predictions than anything that has ex-
listed heretofore.
At the present time, notwithstand-
ing the confident claims of the rival
campaign managers, it appears to be
a toss up whether Atlee Pomerene,
the lieutenant governor-elect, or Ed
ward w. Hanley, the Dayton lawyer,
is most likely to be the successor of
Charles Dick in the United States sen.
ate. Some politicians are of the opin.
ion that neither will be chosen. This
prediction is based on the belief that
the equal strength of the rival can.
didates will result in deadlock and
that as consequence a dark horse
will be elected
Former Congressman John J. Lentz
Colonel James Kilbourne of this city
and Virgil P. Cline of Cleveland are
among those whose names are heard
more or less frequently in connection
with the senatorship. But none OF
these has so far graduated from the
'also mentioned" class, and the prob
ability is that none will enter active
ly into the fight unless the contes,
between Pomerene and Hanley be
comes so tangled that a compromise
candidate appears to offer the only so
luton.
AS between Pomerene and Hanley
the indications are that the winner, il
either wins, will be the one who con
ducts the best campaign. Neither ap
pears to have any advantage so far as
personal popularity is concerned. Han
ley is supposed to have the backing
of most of the leaders of the state or
ganization, while Pomerene has the
advantage of wider acquaintance
throughout the state and also has the
prestige that comes from his recent
successful candidacy for the Office o.
lieutenant governor.
Rumors are still current that Johr
R. Mclean may enter the race for ths
toga. though the general opinion i:
that he has about abandoned his as
pirations in that direction, especialI,
as the reports of his emissaries sen
here recently to seek for McClear
sentiment are understood to have
been of none too rosy hue.

the Emperor and Empress are to cele-
brate Christmas this year without all

most part the old customs, including
the setting up of the Christmas trees
in the Shell hall of the palace at Pots
dam. will be observed as usual. This
week all Of the members of the i'm

have been killed by q collapsing wall
in fire in one Of the principal bust
ness districts of the city early today.
The loss was estimated at about

ideal for holocaust 1t was con-
demned seventeen years ago, and for
seven years was without a tenant.
Then the Friedlander company took
possession of it. 1t was nlled with
leather and infiammable substances
and the interior was as dry as tinder.
Once the flames got headway they
rushed with seething fury through the
entire five floors. At its height the
tongues of flame were SO menacing
that fears were entertained for the
surrounding buildings and the con-
tents of some OF them were removed.
Nearly the entire police force and
all the reserves under the personal
direction of the superintendent of po-
lice were on the ground this morning
doing rescue work and holding back
the enormous crowds.
A Dramatic Incident.
One Of the dramatic incidents came
when three fremen were buried to-
gether in the ruins, retaining con-
sciousness and urging on the rescu-
ers who were. furiously digging to get
them out One of these men. vii.
liam Glazier, OF truck company No s,
had been pinned in the debris for over
six hours but retained consciousness.
Glazier's heroic battle with death
while he was pinned across q dead
comrade by steel beam commanded
the admiration of the policemen who
were working to uncover him.
Il guess my legs are crushed. boys"
shouted the fireman.
|. Then the pinned down fireman
shouted that Are was eating through
the timbers about his body and that
he feared he would be burned to
death.
stream of water was turned upon
the mass OF wreckage above him
which froze as 1t fell. The fireman
then shouted that he feared he would
freeze to death.
Keep it up boys. ! can hold out for
a while longer" he called as the res
cuers got nearer to him.

"The brave boy" called one OF Gla-
zier's comrades who was working
above him. Wen get you out or die
trying" They got him.
Chief Baxter. with his uniform
nearly burned of and suffering from
injuries. refused to go to the hospital
this morning and remained on the
ground directing the rescue work
THAT was the narrowest escape
ever had he declared Il was stun
ned when the roof fell but the pain OF
the fire against my body revived me
and l managed to get to safety. 1t is
too bad for the poor boys who were
killed"

COUNTY POPULATION
Growth Of the City.


The growth OF the city In the past
decade has been n most satisfactory
one to everyone concerned and
stamps the Quaker City OF the
west AZ being one OF the most sub
stantial In the State.
Four years ago the first real In
flucnce became manifested in the
growth Of Richmond when its indus
tries began to expand. by increasing
their plants and employing much larg-
or forces. Now several Of these con-
Germs are nearly twice the size they
were and employing more than twice
the number Of men.
Manufactures which have not made
such gains have not receded any. In
addition there have been a number of
new concerns to locate in Richmond.
the largest OF which Is the National
Automatic Tooi works. in Beallview.
Indications Of the effect Rich.
mond's industries were having on the
increase Of the city's population be-
gan to be manifested when the build
ing boom started about three years
ago. AS fast as homes were erected.
they were occupied. and this condition
still exists.
Richmond's standing in the state
probably will remain as 1t was In 1900
when 1t was eighth in respect to popu-
lation. However, in regard to percent.
age OF increase in population the show
ing made by Richmond is one of the
best OF any city in Indiana. The city's
percent OF increase was larger In the
last ten years than it has been in any
other decade in its history. since it be-
came a city.

FOUR ARRESTED;
LOOT RECOVERED
POLICE BELIEVE THEY HAVE
BUSY BURGLARS
THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF
PLUMBER YIELD OF RAID
Much of Goods Already Identified as
Having Been Stolen from
Long Beach Homes
Recently
Especial to The Herald.l

LONG BEACH, Feb. 5.-Chief of Po-
lice Williams and Sergeant Nutz today
pulled off the biggest police sensation
since the arrest of William Chapman,
a few months ago, by arresting four
men. among whom it is alleged are
the burglars who have been terroriz-
ing Long Beach during the past SIX
weeks, plundering homes and ransack-
ing them thoroughly over $1,000 worth
of plunder was recovered from the
house at 1211 East First street.
The men arrested William Johnson
who claims to be the cook for the
others and not a burglar; Harry VIII
hanson, who says he is prize hghter;
George West and W. j. Beatty.
About 8 o'clock this afternoon Chlet
Williams, who had watched the East
First street house for some time, be
ieving its inmates had no visible
means of support, entered the house.
He confronted a man who said he was
a Spaniard. but who looked like a Jew,
and who said his name was W1lllan
Johnson. He said he owned the house.
The chief ordered him to throw up
his hands The fellow complied.
Williams then ordered Johnson 10
throw open the doors of the various
rooms. They were found TO be unoc-
cupied. Then the police officer asked.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-02-06

abruptly, What do you know about
these burglaries that have been going
on?' The fellow denied any knowledge
of them.
TeIltaIe Evidence Found
Still covering the man with his
weapon Williams drew open the top
drawer of dresser. There he saw, at
once, an army revolver which was
among the plunder taken from DR.. A.
b. Austlns home, APO Chestnut ave-
nue., last week. Then he knew he was
on the right track. Williams saw other
loot in the drawer and then secured a
statement from johnson that three men
had been occupying the house Tor a
month. Johnson said he did their COOK
ing. He stated that the men frequented
pool halls considerably, so Chief Will
Jams took johnson in tow and started
on search of tie beach. After Vis-
iting various moving picture theaters
and pool rooms, Johnson nudged the
chief and pointed out two men VINO
were walking along the strand east OF
the pier.
Don't give me away" pleaded john
son. "There are two Of the men,
Marched to Headquarters
Chief Williams approached the men
and made them elevate their hands. In
response to questions as to what they
were arrested for the chief told them
what he knew. Finding no revolvers
on them he made the two lock arms
and march before him to the police sta
tion. These men gave the names OF
Williamson and West.
Chief Williams had sent Sergeant
Kutz out to guard the East First
street house. hutz took up a position
behind a PLAN tree across the street
after explaining his errand to a wo-
man living in the house in the same
premises.
This woman a few minutes later
called softly through a window to kut2
that a tall man then coming down the
street was one of the gang who had
been occupying the house across the
way. Kutz stepped out, intercepted
the approaching man and compelled
him to throw up his hands. After q
search he was led to headquarters
where he gave the name of w. }
Beatty.
An immense amount of loot was
taken from the house to police head
quarters. Overcoats, evening clothes
eight watches, six revolvers and many
pieces Of Vjewelry were recovered
Among those whose places have beer
robbed recently and who will regain
their possessions as a result of the
work of the police today are DR.. A
B. Austin, E. G. Paul. G. M. Roe
whose house was robbed only last
night; C. c. Carney and several others
A large collection of coins, taken from
