describable. Men, cut of from or.
binary exits by flames darting from
every side, rushed hlthor and thither
looking for means Of escape and we're
forced finally to jump from second and
third-story windows to the street be-
low.
Most of the serious injuries were
the results Of these leaps for life. Even
this opportunity of escape was denied
to those who are numbered among the
missing, most of whom are buried un-
der the ruins. They died crushed to
death under the crumbling walls or
suffocated by the smoke and flames.
The Times got out its regular issue
today printed on its auxiliary plant,
provided, its management says, as
safeguard against just such a disaster
as has befallen it. In this issue it
charged the labor unions, against
which it has waged bitter warfare for
twenty years, with responsibility for
the destruction of its plant and the
consequent loss of life and property.
The officials of the various unions
have been prompt to disavow respon-
sibility and to offer their assistance in
the detection of the perpetrators.
Bomb Under Merchants Home.
The city had hardly awakened to a
knowledge of the fullness of the dis
aster when the news that a dynamite
bomb had been found under the house
of Felix Zeehandelaar swelled the ex-
element. The bomb, one of the
clockwork kind, had been timed to do
its work at the exact moment that the
explosion occurred in the Times
building, but through some flaw in its
mechanism had failed to explode on
time.
The finding of this bomb was sue
ceeded by the dicovery of another UNI
der the window of the Wiltshire-boule-
ward residence of General Harrison
Gray Otis, president of the Times-Mir-
ror Company and editor-in-chief of the
Times. This bomb was concealed in
valise and hidden under some bush
es. 1t was discovered, thrown into
the street and exploded, tearing up
the ground and doing other minor
damage.

ton and conviction of the persons res

Praised for Heroic Work.

Carmi, Ill.-Miss Estelle Lohone, a
school teacher living in this city, has
achieved fame for herself and the last
ing gratitude of the inhabitants of
Maunie, H., village eight miles east
of here, by a midnight ride after the
fashion of Paul Revere. While at the
Louisville & Nashville station the
other night the young woman over

fire - the E. F. Bayley store at Maui

The girl returned to her home, and
prepared to retire. She says that her
conscience troubled her and that she
finally decided to ride TO the village
and thwart the attempt at incendi-
arism that she had heard planned. The
girl saddled her horse and left unat-
tended after 10 o'clock. She arrived
at Mamie at midnight, just in time to
see two men drive in a buggy to the
rear Of the store. One ran with a
bundle of kindling to the rear door
and the girl shouted and the men in
fright quickly drove away. The girl
aroused the villagers and the bundle
of fagots was found soaked in kero-
sene. A man hunt was instituted. but
the men have so far evaded arrest.
Miss Lohone received much praise for

Parkersburg, w. Va. - The story
of the whipping of a preacher by
whitecaps and the burning of his
church building by them because they
did not like the kind of faith he
preached, has just been brought to
Parkersburg from Granville, Calhoun

caps dragged Rev. Scott Williams. a
Holiness preacher, from his home at
Dry Ridge, that county, at one o'clock

Two of his neighbors went to his
rescue, but they We're recognized by
the crowd and given good whippings
and told to go back to bed Then the
Holiness tabernacle, in which Doctor
Williams has been holding successful
meetings. was burned to the ground.
Doctor Williams says that the white
caps told him that he must leave the
county within ten days or that they
would get him and kill him. Williams
says he will not leave the county and
will remain. His wife is i'll at the
home of neighbors because the white
cappers tied a pillow over her head
and almost smothered her to keep her

THE DANGEROUS HOUSE FLY.

The city department of public health
gives a timely and needed warning to
those leaving the city for their vaca-
tions to avoid places where there are
many flies. Those who follow this ad-
vice will avoid places which are I'M
cleanly. which allow food and garbage
TO be so exposed as to attract and feed
the flies, says the philadelphia Press.
They will avoid places where stables
and dwellings are in near vicinity, as
the exposed manure is the choice
breeding place of thousands and even
millions of flies. In other words, to
places where they permit flies to
breed and feed. Formerly the condi-
itions which multiply flies and the
flies themselves were considered OBJ
jectionable but endurable. Now the
patient liberation of flies is known to
be a needless trifiing with the health
and life of human beings. Disease
germs are for the most part innocuous

SAYS SOLOAS TO
BLAME FOR FIRES
Pinchot Lays Forest Losses TO
Men in Congress.
ISSUES A WARM STATEMENT
Asserts Blazes Are Preventaole-
Names Hepburn, Carter and Mon
del, AS Men Who Opposed
Appropriations.

Washington. - Clifford Pinchot of
the National Conservation associa-
ton aad former head of the gov
eminent forest service, in a state
ment issued here holds that the loss
of property and life in the recent and
present forest fires was unnecessary.
The disastrous results. he says, are
traceable to the unpreparedness to
deal with the fire system. He scores
sembers of congress who have op-
posed appropriations for the proper
equipment of forest rangers and in
that connection names Senator Hey
burn of Idaho, whose home town. Wal
lace, Idaho, suffered serious loss; Sen
stor Carter of Montana, and Repre-
sentative Mondell of Wyoming. The
statement says:
Forest fires are preventable. 1t is
2 good thing for us to remember at
this time that nearly or quite all of
the loss, suffering, and death these
fires have caused is wholly unneces-
sary. A fire in the forest is the same
kind of thing as a fire in the city.
There is only one way TO fight either.
The fire department of every city Is
organized with the prime idea of get
ting to the fire when it is young. So
with forest fires. The time to con-
quer them is before they grow strong.
II a forest is equipped with roads.
trails, telephone lines, and reason
Oh <.f
Is no more likelihood that great fires
would be able TO get started than
there is that great CONGREGATIONS like
the Chicago fire will get started In a
city with a modern fire department.
Under rare circumstances they may,
but the chances are against it.
/ The forest service has done won
ders with its handful of devoled men.
1t has put out every year many thou
sands of small fires, that any one Of
which under favorable conditions
might have developed into a conflagra-
ton which 10000 men could not stop.
This year. because of the great
drought, the worst in much of the
west for more than twenty years,
there were too many fires and too few
rangers.
The lesson from these forest fires
is perfectly clear. When a city suf-
fers from a great fire, 1t does not re-
trench in its fire department. but
strengthens it, That is what the ma
ton must do on the national forests
Spokane, Wash. If the stories
Of men who returned from the
st. Joe country of Idaho are to be be-
lieved the loss of life along Big creek
was appalling. and the dead in Idaho
alone will number more than two hun
bred, even If Ranger Joseph B. Hahn
and his 81 men turn up. Of which the
former officer in Wallace is not hope
full.
All estimates of tie financial losses
place it at over s2O,OOO.OOJ. mostly in
timber
The loss of life took place mostly
last Saturday and Sunday, when a gale

Fishing "raisin day." ON which all
patriots who believe in patronizing
home enterprise and consuming home
productions are expected to indulge in
;raisin cakes and buildings, raisin
bread, etc. The boys and girls will
fall in line for this, and as they are
the best consumers of things sweet, it
would seem to be good policy to
awaken the enthusiasm of young eat
ers. Parents are now busy striving
to get enough of things more staple
than raisins, which would be adopted
generally If they could be made to
take the place of meat, eggs and other
products. Moreover, it is suspected
that If all were to do as the raisin
growers desire there would be boom
IN the price as a result OF the boom In
the demand.
