A minneapolis FIRE
SUNDAY night TOOK LIVES
and PROPERTY Destroyer
WORTH A MILLION.
Twelve Persons Rescued From Upner
Stories While Flames Roared-oripir
of Fire Unknown-Started IN Ca
ond Floor-Strong Wind Blew-St
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 $1,00O,OO0, 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
Nlcollet avenue, who saw flames burst
ing from the second story window. Be-
fore the tiremen 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 a 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 there
were several explosions at the west end
of the building lifted heavy stone side
walks high in the air and scattered huge
pieces of stone about the street. The
explosions were attributed to breaking
of gas pipes.
The Syndicate building was erected
IN 1882 by number of local business
men,
The west end of the building was
used by the Model Clothing company,
whose store occupied five stories. The
east one-third of the building, from
basement to roof, was leased by the
Minneapolis Dry Good company. Three
stories IN the center of the building
were occupied by Young s. Quinlan,
ladies tailors; j. B. Hudson & Son,
jewelers., and Woolworth IS 1O-cent store.
The largest individual losers are:
Model Clothing company, $15O,OOO;
Minneapolis Dry Good company, $780,
ooo; j. b. Hudson G. Sons, 100000, out
slde OF the safe, which contained mer-
chandise; Young & Quinlan, $125,OOO;
Woolworth, $4,000; other tenants les,
tlmated), 100000; loss on building,
100000.

Bowed to Wish of Hawley,

Boise, ldaho.-Without a dissenting
voice when the final roll call came the
senate has bowed to the wishes of Gov
ernor Hawley by passing new bill to
amend in the direct primary law all
provisions for declaration, as these
formed the basis for the governor Is
veto, and the new bill is intended
merely to remedy some of the worst
features of the old law, such as the
mandatory second choice.
The bill passed under suspension of
rules and was hurried over to the house.
Governor Hawley has sent his final
message to the legislature. In this he
said that overshadowing all other mat
tiers brought to the attention of the
lawmakers was the curse of low yalua-
ton and high taxation. He urged the
necessity for a more equitable assess
ment.

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

Reports to the census bureau from
the slaughtering and meat-packing es-
adjustments and slaug hterhouses of the
United States show that during 1909
there were 6S,403,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 large number of animals are
slaughtered on farms or elsewhere than
in slaughterhouses. In addition there
were 411,300 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.

SEATTLE ASKS AID
FOR SUFFERERS
Says Chinese Plague Campaign Will 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:
1.-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 it
purposes to push vigorously it's cam
palgn 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 APP
palling death rate at least 100000
should be cabled to that country dur
ing the next 30 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.'

THE SOCIALPOSITION
AS DEFINED BY mrs. CHAMP
CLARK, WIFE OF The NEXT
SPEAKER OF congress.
Deplores So-Called Fads of Society
Women for Examples - Leaders
Should Strive Toward Simplicity
Says Every Woman Should Have a
Husband and Home.

I" First of ALL" said Mrs. Champ
Clark, wife of the next speaker of con
gress, in recent interview, eff there
is anything in so-called social position
women should use every influence to set
the example that will react on the in.
dlviduals who come under her influ
ence. Of all things the most deplorable
are those socalled fads of society
women, extreme in their tendencies,
that cause continual longing and striv-
ing to reach by people who can not
afford it. This trait is very often the
downfall of many individuals, espe-
cially women"
Mrs. Clark, tall enough to be grace
full and of commanding appearance, is
one. of the most charming matrons at
the national capital. "Women in the
public eye" she continued, "who are
continually looked upon as examples
should strive to radiate an atmosphere
of simplicity and good will that will
tend to create the same sentiments in
the people who desire to emulate or
copy them"
Should Have Husbands.
Mrs. Clark believes in ENCOURAGING
Dan Cupid, for she says if she could
have her way, every woman in Amer
lea would have a husband and a home
of her own.
Primarily" said Mrs. Clark,
A." American women are more appreci-
ative and grasp opportunities more
readily than any other women in the
world, no matter where they are; but
IN my Judgment woman should have an
opportunity to be queen of the home
first of all.
"Then you do not believe in equal
suffrage?" it was suggested. "Oh.
yes, she answered, 81 believe in suf-
frage this far: 1 think women should
vote if they want to, and if fitted for
certain political places all right; no
one can be the judge. 1t is matter
for the individual. But that woman
was intended as a heIpmate for man
goes without saying and especially
should woman endeavor to be the help
mate of the American man.
American Men Best.
81 think American men are the
strongest and best. Why, they nearly
kill themselves in working, and women
should do everything to make their
burdens lighter. The man IN the office
or in the mill, in fact everywhere.
works harder than the men of any
other nation.''
Mrs. Clark is of a domestic nature
and takes great pride that she can
bake the prize loaf and darn broken
garments.
She continued: 81 am very proud of
the fact that once l took the prize for
baking the best loaf of bread at a
Pike county (Missouri) fair, also one
for darning, and / think labor not un.
dignified for any of the first ladies in
the land at any time. The word
servant has been much abused, its
early meaning to serve being beautiful
and certainly there is nothing better
than to do something for somebody
else''
