A MINNEAPOLIS FIRE
SUNDAY NIGHT TOOK LIVES
AND PROPERTY DESTROYED
WORTH A MILLION.
Twelve Persons Rescued From Upper
Stories While Flames Roared-origin
of Fire Unknown-S Started on Sec

, Paul Sent Aid-Explosions Damage.

Minneapolis, March Cone of the
most disastrous fires this city has ever
known destroyed the Syndicate block,
Sunday, ON Nicollet avenue, between
Fifth and Sixth streets. The total loss
is estimated at 100000, and it is
possible that two lives were lost, al
though this has not yet been definitely
determined.
Twelve persons were rescued from the
upper stories of the building, while the
flames were roaring around them. Some
Of these sustained slight injuries, but
none were seriously hurt.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The alarm was given by passersby on
Nicollet avenue, who saw flames burst
ing from the second story window. Be
fore the fremen could arrive the ten
ants of the building, who wre asleep in
the upper rooms, began to appear at
windows calling for aid.
A strong wind was blowing and in a
very short time the west half of the
building was furnace. The entire
fire department. of Minneapolis was
called out, but it was totally inadequate
to check the flames. Later call was
sent to st. Paul for help and this was
furnished Immediately.
Two women were asleep in the Syndi
cate building at time of the fire were
reported missing. They are Miss Mary
Buck, proprietor of the Arion restaur
ant, and Bertha Radons, her maid.
During the progress of the fire ther,
were several explosions at the west enc
of the building lifted heavy stone side
walks high in the air and scattered huge
pieces OF stone about the street. Th'
explosions were attributed to breaking
of gas pipes.
The Syndicate building was erecte,
in 1882 by number of local bushes
men.
The west end of the building wa
used by the Model Clothing company
, whose store occupied five stories. Tn
east one-third of the building, fror
basement to roof, was leased by tn

SEATTLE ASKS AID
FOR SUFFERERS
Says Chinese Plague Campaign viii Not
End With Sailing of Transport
for China,


The following appeal to the people
of the United States has been made by
the China relief committee of the Sc
attic Commercial club:
"The loading and dispatching of the
transport Buford marks but the first
stage in the work undertaken by this
club. During the next few weeks 1t
purposes to push vigorously its cam
paign for cash contributions and at
frequent intervals remit the proceeds
by cable to Amos B. Wilder, American
consul at Shanghai, who represents the
Red Cross and this club in the dis
tribution of money and supplies.
"'There will be the most urgent need
for relief till the next crop can be
harvested in north China, which will
be late in June. To prevent an ap-
palling death rate at least 100000
should be cabled to that country dur
ing the next 80 days. The commercial
club sets for itself the task of raising
the major portion of this amount, and
it appeals to people in every quarter
of the Union to aid it. The most mod
est sum, if given quickly, will help to
save untold lives. All contributions
should be made payable to the Seattle
Commercial club, Seattle"

ANIMALS KILLED FOR FOOD.
Census Bureau Gives Number Consumed
in 1903 by Slaughterhouses and
Meat-Packing Concerns.

Reports to the census bureau from
the Strengthening and meat-packing es-
Establishments and slaughterhouses of the
United States show that during 1909
there were 6s,4O3,OOO animals slaugh-
tered for food in those establishments.
This total does not represent the en-
tire domestic meat supply of the coun-
try, as a large number of animals are
slaughtered on farms or elsewhere than
in slaughterhouses. In addition there
were 411,30O animals reported as hav-
ing been killed or as dying a natural
death and consumed in the manufac-
ture of fertilizers or other products,
and many more die on the farms and
ranges.
This information appears in a pre-
liminary report which was transmitted
to Census Director Durand by Chief
Statistician William M. Steuart. The
data were collected in compliance with
the act of congress of February 25
1910.

ROOSEVELT STARTS TRIP.
Visits All States of Union Except New
England, Florida and Utah.

England, Florida and Utah.
Politicians are doing much guessing
as to the real object of the spectacular
trip which begun this week by former
President Roosevelt, who leaves New
York and will visit all states of the
Union, with the exception of New Eng
land, Florida and Utah.
Colonel Roosevelt volunteers no
statement of his object in taking such
a long journey at his own expense. AL
though only three or four of the
speeches scheduled are wholly of a
political character it is the opinion
among political leaders that the entire
excursion is a political move, but
opinions differ as to the direction OF
the move.
Colonel Roosevelt's first forma
speech will be delivered in Alabama
before members of the Southern Com
mercial club. President Taft will ad
dress the congress the day before.
The colonel will be accompanied
upon his trip by his secretary, Franz
Harper. While in Arizona he will b,
given reception by members of hi
old regiment of Rough Riders, and on'
day in the west will be given over t.
hunting trip.

A SAILOR, NOT A LABoRER
Judge Says Chinese Mariners May Land
-Orientals Win Out.

On the ground that a sailor is not a
laborer, Judge Hand, in the United
States circuit court, New York, has
quashed an indictment against Captain
Robert Jameson, a steamship master,
charged with having allowed a Chinese
member of his crew to land in violation
of federal statute. Judge Hand s de-
cision is considered important, since
heretofore, under the Chinese exclusion
law, Chinese sailors were classed as la
borers and were kept cooped up on the
ships while in port.
