Athens, Ga, February 1.-THE en-
tire plant of the Empire State Chemi-
col Co., was destroyed by fire last night
with an estimated loss of S5OO,O0l
partly covered by insurance.
A stiff wind caused the flames TO
gain such headway before the full
force of water was turned on that it
was impossible for the local fire de-
partment to check the fire.
The blaze started in the mill where
ingredients composing fertilizers are
ground, and is believed to have been
caused by broken wires.
Nearly 500 employees, mostly negroes,
were at work at the time, the factory
being operated night and day, but all
escaped without injury.

filled with an immense stock for The

Seven freight cars on the Georgia
railroad sidetrack, adjoining the ware
house, also burned
At late hour tonight the fire was
still burning and the officers of the
company estimated the loss on build
ing, stock and machinery at more than
$50O,0o0.

MISTRIAL In LAMAR SUIT
AS HEARD IN MACON
Heirs Of Henry Lamar viii
Try it Again

Macon, Ca, February 17-After be-
ing out thirty hours all told, the jury
in the case of Henry J. Lamar Wash
ington, of Washington, D. G., suing
for an eighth interest in the estate OF
Henry ]. Lamar, reported to the trial
Judge at late hour last night that
they were unable to agree and a mis-
trial was declared.
Henry J. Lamar left an estate val
ued at 100000. The will stipulated
that Henry j. Lamar Washington, i
nephew, the son of Col w. H. Wash
ington, of Nashville, Tenn, and a sis
ter of Lamar, who was adopted when
a bab, should receive one eighth of
the estate, provided he married with
the consent of Mrs. Julia Lamar.
He married Lucille Osborne, of New
York, several years ago, while Henry
j. Lamar was still living.
1t is the contention of Washington
that his uncle was highly pleased with
the match at the time and until he
lied
The other members of the Lamar
family and benefciaries of the will
contend that as Julia Lamar objected
o the wedding, the will stands good,
he plaintiff taking the stand that the
approval of Lamar while living should
override the provision of the will.
1t was announced that a new trial
will be applied for at once.
The report which has gained circu-
alton to the effect that Henry J. La
mar paid $4,000 for the Washington
,aby to his sister was brought out

amily and lawyers in the case refuse

A scene which, for a moment. filled
spectators with horror was enacted
at the Seaboard passenger station N
Americus yesterday noon when the
baby son of Station Agent H. NJ. Sell
lars, at Plains, was knocked PROSTATE
by a switch engine which passed over
the body of the little chap, but with
out hurting it beyond a few scratches
inflicted in the fall. The little boy,
probably four years of age, chased
his ball in front of the locomotive,
which was running backward slowly
at the moment. Too late to rescue
it, the Mortified spectators saw the
baby stricken down by the rear axle
of the tender, the engineer being un-
able to see the child from his posi-
ton. In a second, almost, the engine
was stopped and the child, more
frightened than hurt, was pulled from
between the wheels of the tender,
blackened by SCOT and grease, butt

Without Recommendation

Washington, D C., Feb. 17.-Under
an agreement that it would vote to-
day on the bill to prohobit gambling
in cotton futures, the Committee on
Interstate Commerce decided by a
vote of to to report it to the sem
ate without recommendation
The failure of the committee 20
make recommendations to the senate
resulted from a conviction on the part
of several members that a measure OF
such importance should be given more
consideration than was possible under
today's agreement to vote. An agree
ment had been made, however, between
Senators Clark, of Arkansas, and Till
man, of South Carolina, and they held
the committee to its word.
Three sections of the bill as it pass
ed the house were eliminated by the
senate committee and some of the
friends OF the measure say that the
changes make the measure non-effect.
i've
The sections struck out are:
That which authorizes agents of tel
egraph, telephone or cable companies
to administer oaths in their efforts {
/ ascertain whether messages offered fol
transmission were in violation OF the
law.
That declaring newspapers, books
pamphlets letters or other writing o
publications containing quotations
which might induce the making of con
tracts in violation Of the proposed lag
should be non-mailable.
That providing that the postmaste
! general, upon evidence satisfactory t
