TWO KILLED IN
 B|G HOTEL FIRE

Lakeview, N C., March 6-The new Loch Crystal hotel, tourist resort, which was opened recently, was de- stroyed by fire early this morning and two guests lost their lives in the flames. The dead are:
 Miss Anna NJ Barnes of New York.
 Mrs. G. C. Pettis New Haven, Conn.
 Howard Whitmore, clerk, and Mrs. W. E. Youland, wife of the manager, re- ceived serious injuries.
 The fire was discovered about o'clock this morning and the flames so quickly spread through the large frame building that all efforts to check them were futile, and the only thought was to save the lives of the 25 guests who were in the building. Miss Anna M. Barnes of New York, who was on the third floor, could not be rescued and was burned to death. The body has not been recovered.
 Mrs. G. c. Pettis, an aged woman of New Haven, Conn.,, while being rescued by her son. C. M. Pettis. was seriously injured and died from the injuries and the shock an hour later.
 Howard Whitmore, the clerk, saved many of the guests. He is now confined to his bed from injuries received. All of the guests who escaped were only par italy clad and they lost all their per sonal effects.
 The homes of the village have been thrown open to the sufferers and their needs have been supplied by the people here.
 The loss is about $SOO0o. partially cov- cred by insurance.

HOUSE OF LORDS
 TALK RECIPROCITY

London, March 6.-Lord Amphil raised discussion of American and Canadian | reciprocity in the house of lords this evening, but strongly condemning what he termed the inaction of the govern men, which he declared had forced Can ada to abandon her national policy and offer to the United States some of the to Great Britain.
 Commercial union between the United States and Canada, he thought, must also mean political union. ''The astounding situation created" he said was that re- sponsible statesmen in a foreign country have spoken openly in their parliament of the future annexation of a portion of the crowns domains without protest from this country"
 Viscount Morley warmly defended both the government and Ambassador Bryce, saying that criticism of the latter was grossly unjust The assistance which he had srendered Canada had been grate- fully recognized although he had not par ticipated in the actual negotiations.
 "The most responsible statesmen in both America and Canada" said Morley have laughed at the talk of annexation" He added that the papers on the subject soon would be laid upon the table and these would show that the action of the British ambassador was justified by prec- edent.
 On the promise that all the papers having to do with the negotiations be- tween Washington and Ottawa would be produced the discussion was dropped

ALLEGED NEW YORK
 BOYCOTT ATTACKED

New York, March 6-F'ight against an alleged boycott in the New York mar ket against non-union wood working materials was begun today with man ufacturers from the south and middle west as complainants.
 The Anti Boycott association, which prosecuted the boycott suits of the Dan- bury Hat company and the Bucks Stove and Range case, and which will han dle the present suit, declares that the action is of far reaching importance because upon its success depends the future conduct of employers and em- ployes in every branch of the building trade. The suit filed in the United States circuit court today is against national and local officers of the Car penters' union and New York con- tractors who, it Is alleged, have agreed with the union to use only union-made trim. It seeks to restrain the car penters and contractors from further carrying out this agreement and all leges that the products of the middle west and southern wood work manu- lecturers who employ non union labor is boycotted.
 According to Walter Gordon Merritt attorney for the Anti Boycott associa- tion, western trim manufacturers are prepared to furnish New York with wood work of this description at saving to the public of almost 40 per cent. But the alleged combination be- tween union carpenters and con- tractors acts "as effectively as a Chi nese wall in the exclusion of wood work from open shop mills in the south and middle west"

MEDICAL SOCIETY
 TAKES NO ACTION
Will Not Send Committee Either For or Against the Justice
 Bill

The Jefferson County Medical society at it's regular meeting last night took no definite action on the Justice bill now pending In the legislature, the provisions of which look to certain regulations of the practice of medicine In the state.
 The subject was brought before the society last night in the form of a mo- tion placing the society on record as favoring the bill. This opened the sub ject for debate and finally a substitute motion was offered that the socity favor the bill if it were amended so as to leave the trial of cases to the regular courts for action, just as any other mis- demeanor is tried, instead of to the board of censors of the medical associa- ton.
 It was then moved to lay the substitute on the table. The vote on this was 25 for and 25 against, the chair voting against the motion
 A motion to adjourn was then made and carried unanimously.
 This means that the Jefferson county society will not send a committee to Montgomery to work either for or against the bill.

COMPOSER WINS
 SUIT FOR DAMAGES

Milan, Italy, March 6.-The decision ol the civil tribunal, which heard the case of Mascagni, the composer, and Sonzog na, the publisher of "Ysobel," against Lieber & Co. of New York, was an- nounced today and generally favors the plaintiffs.
 Liebler x Co are convicted of contempt of court and judged to be at fault in the breaking of contract with Masea gni. The New Workers are condemned to pay damages in the sum of 5000 to Sonzogna and the costs of the trial. Mascagni is definitely assigned the s1500O already IT. ceived from the defendant, but the court refuses his applicatioA for an additional 5000.
 In it's decision the court points olt that the Americans, notwithstanding their dispute with the composed could have carried out their contract by arranging directly with Sonzogna. It is also SC. forth that Mascagni should have been less exacting with Liebler & Co.,, who had given him much proof of their confi- dence in his great fame by imposing spe- Cial duties upon him.

BOY MAKES $3O,OOO
 IN WALL STREET

New York, March 6.-W. J. Roman, q telephone boy in the office of James R. Keene, made s30.O0O in Wall street specu- lations. according to his testimony today in the bankruptcy proceedings of Lath- rop, Haskins & Co.,, one of the stock ex- change firms caught in the collapse of the Hooking pool. Creditors of the firm are endeavoring to show that Mir Keone was responsible for the failure of the pool and that young Roman, knowing that the collapse was imminent, turned his knowledge to good account.
 Roman testified that when the CT h came he sold 500 shares of Hooking coal at figures which prevailed during the upward movement. He had heard of the trouble overnight and wanted to 'get out" he said. MT. Keene knew nothing of his transactions, he testified, and he kept the stock in his own safety vault in the produce exchange. After the crash he bought back 200 shares of Hooking ct 25, he declared.
 According to Roman he has a 5000 ac- count with a trust company and owns ji2 shares in different railroad companies. He baked at stating his salary, but fi- naly wrote the amount on slip of paper and handed it to the referee

MOBILE CONFERS ON
 COMMISSION BILL

Mobile, March 6.-(Speclal. 1.-The members of the lower house of the leg islature from Mobile county and the city council held a conference tonight relative to the commission government bill now pending In the legislature. The meeting was not for the purpose of influencing legislation but to be- come thoroughly familiar with the pro- visions of the measure. The members of the council. 1t seemed from their talk, were of the opinion that some one was to be legislated out of office by the commission government bill, and when they found that this was not the case all was serene. The members of the council seem entirely satisfied with the provision requiring the pe- tition for an election on the question to be. signed by four per cent of the population, according to the last fed eral census. but for a time entered strenuous objections as they believed that four per cent of the registered voters was the only requirement until the matter was explained to<them

RED CROSS ID
 SOON BE COMPLETE

Washington, March -Washington's share of the $2,00o,000 endowment fund of the American National Red Cross society, for which an appeal was made by Presi- dent Taft, the societys president, in De- cernber, 1909, has been fully raised. It was announced today that more than $34,- GOO had been contributed this amount be- ing 5000 in excess of Washington's share.
 Efforts will be made to make Washing tons total contribution to the fund as much greater as possible.
 Miss Mabel Boardman of the Red Cross today announced that $700,000 of the en- tire fund had been raised throughout the country, New York and San Francisco already having exceeded their share of the contribution. She explained the in- come from the endowment fund would be about $SO000 year. The money is to be used in cases where 5000 or $20O0 or less is need for immediate relief. The fund will make the Red Cross independent so far as running expenses are concerned, and will permit it to render aid mmedi- ately in cases of big disasters without waiting to raise money by appeals to the public
 Officers of the Red Cross are anxious to have the entire S2.000,0OO raised by May, 1912, when the. International Red Cross convention will be held in Washington.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Where the Trail Divides"

"Where the Trail Divides" a play by Robert Edeson, in which that actor ap- peared at the Jefferson theatre last night. has to do with the love of a red m an for white girl and the inevitable denoue- the theme has been much in evidence among more recent dramas, MT. Edeson
 has demonstrated very conclusively that he has skill as a playwright and he has constructed play, suggested, as the pro- gramme states, by Mir. Lillibridge's nov el, which after the first act proves grip ping enough to suit the most exacting. The first act is rather crude and melo- dramatic, but in the second and third acts the play becomes stronger, more potential and therefore more interesting.
 It would not require a very subtle in- tellect to surmise what the end is to be-
 even were 1t not clearly indicated by the title. Where the Trail Divides" is that point where the red man, mated with white woman, sees the mistake that has been made and goes his way, in a
 spirit of magnanimity not to be expected off the stage. leaving his wife to her white lover, on condition that she will not remarry until a divorce has been
 granted. The central character of the piece is reminiscent of s'Strongheart," but the character is more ''abysmar' and without the polish acquired at an eastern college. Still the man Is we'll educated and his renunciation Is none the less trag-
 ic. In fact, the scenes between the In- liar nd ha oir bo in, xxh 1, a divergence of their paths, is at first faint ly shadowed forth and then broadly in- dicated, are extremely we'll done.
 MT. Edeson was very effective at gil times NHe is an impressive Indian and is artist enough to make the best of 2 part which does not require great finesse His reception was most cordial and tr his more dramatic moments he mastered some strong situations. Minnett Barrett | acquitted herself very well and A. H Van Buren was acceptable without being | particularly able, in the role of Clayton Craig. Shep Camp, who will be remem | bered for his appearances here in .yaude vile, made quite hit as Bud Smith | He has large genial sort of per | sonaity and he made Buds westerf
 comedy highly entertaining. MT. Camy formerly lived in Anniston and BirminG
 ham, and has many personal acquaint ances in the south. ! The remaining members of the com | pany were not remarkable either for abil ity or lack of 1t, due principally to tn
 fact that they didn't have great dea | to do P. c.

SEVERAL SMALL
 BATTLES REPORTED

Mexico City, March 6.-Telegrams from Merida and Progreso reached here today containing news of an assault upon Peto, in Yucatan, the southern terminus of the United railroad on Sunday The assail- ants were said to be a small band of natives of the district. They surprised a small number of gendarmes and captured their headquarters, killing Marcos Acosta, commandant; Fernando Sosa. secretary to the Jefe Politico. and one other. The place was robbed of arms and ammuni- ton.
 At Temax, also on the eastern division of the railroad, a town of 10000 inhab- itants, three men were killed, one of whom was Jefe Politico Herrera.
 Trouble was reported also to have oc- cured st Coluta and other small towns in that district
 Troops were sent out from Merida in a special train, both federals and state guards.
 Reports of the encounter near Iguala in the state of Guerrero are slowing com ing in. The first clash was said 10 have occurred between 50 men of the state troops and rebels numbering several hun dred at Huitzuco and to have continued for five hours. The rebels were poorly armed and were driven to take refuge in a church in the town. A body of rebel horsemen coming upon group of soldiers unloading case of ammunition from a mule believed they were facing a machine gun and fled. Those in the church became panic stricken also and followed in con fusion. Four soldiers were killed and II wounded. The rebels left none of their number behind. It was thought that they retreated toward Chilpancigno but three automobiles reached Iguala from there yesterday without having seen them en

LIVELY TILT IN
 BOARD OF REVENUE

Mobile March 6.-(Special>-A live ly tilt occurred at a meeting of the board of revenue and road commits sioners today over the question of good road experimental work, which had been stopped by order of Commissions CT Green without the sanction of the other members of the board. resulting in considerab ble caustic criticism. This was resented by some of the members, who took the position that Mr. Green had overstepped his authority in order ing all work stopped. MT. Green was overruled by the members of the board. who decided to borrow money to con- tinue the work pending the sale of half million dollars worth of road bonds recently authorized.
 owing to the stoppage of work the county will, in all probability, lose the services of the government high way engineer. who was sent here to demonstrate the possibilities of road work with material at hand.
