jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. 5.-The
Missouri capitol building was entire
ly destroyed by fire tonight. The to-
tai loss. including the building and
many records and state papers, is es-
timated at 100000 with no insur-
ance.
Lightning which struck the cupola
OF the dome shortly after Z o'clock
spread the flames to the roof OF the
house OF representatives and in less
than half an hour ii was apparent
that the building was doomed.
Because of the inadequacy OF the
water pressure, the fire could not be
reached and no aid could be rendered
for some time by the local fire cons
pany.
Governor Hadley personally direct
ed the fight against the flames,
which because of the age OF the build
ing rapidly gained great headway.
The penitentiary fire department was
called to the scene and the oonvicts
worked herocally.
The local military company was
called out and formed Gordon

tors from dangerous positions and re-

The capitol was erected in 1888 al
cost of S350,000, and in 1887 re-
modelled at a cost of x25.000. While
il was built of stone, the roof was
covered with much inflammable ma.

. with Joyful acclaim by the Eeo-

lBy Morning Journal Special Leased wirel

Washington, Feb. 5.-Whether ex-
periments with aeroplanes along the
Mexican border where fighting is now
going on shall be conducted by the
signal corps of the United States army,
will be determined tomorrow by Brig
adler General James Allen, chief of
that branch of the service, and Major
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army.
General Allen said today that Cen
eral Wood and himself thought the
fighting just across the Mexican bor-
der would afford an excellent oppor-
tunity to see how much information
scout could gather which might
help to outwit an enemy. Secretary
Dickinson also is favorable to such
tests.
While General Allen indicated that
the decision tomorrow would be in
favor of making the test. he said no
orders had been issued to the air
scouts to start for the border. Com
modore John Barry Ryan of the
United States Aeronautical reserve,
will be here tomorrow to consult with
General Wood and Allen. He will
issue the orders to half a dozen or
more members of the reserve to start
full speed for El Paso IL it is finally
decided to use the aeroplances.

CHICAGO WHITE SOX
HAVE CAPTURED
A ROAD STAR
Big Pitcher Delhi, of Los
Angeles, Said to Be Wonder.

President Comiskey. OF the White Sox
believes he has a whale of a pitcher in
Delhi, recently purchased from the Los
Angeles, Cal. team of the Pacific Coast
League. It's pretty much Of a cinch that
the Old Roman put up tidy sum to get
the recruit for Garry Hermann. the
owner of the Cincinnati Reds, and John
/. Taylor, the owna- of the Boston Red
Sox, were after this same twirler.
What Comiskey did was to wait until
these two magnates had reached their
highest offer. Then he added some ind
grabbed the youngster. But just what
amount he paid is one of the mysteries
of the trade. For Mr.. Comiskey declines
positively to tell what he paid and Presi-
dent Barry, OF the Los Angeles team, is
just as secretive.
This Delhi is said to be a most peculiar
pitcher in that he can do more execution
when the fans of foreign fields are howl
ing at him than he can when he is lis
tening to the joyous yelp of the bugs at
home. It is a matter of fact that that
is one of the things which recommended
him to the Old Roman.
For years the Chicago Sox have been
known as home players. They were sup
posed to be able to blast the hopes of all
who Journeyed 10 the Windy City, but
when it came to grabbing victories on
foreign fields they were unable to turn
the trick.
This Delhi lad won six Of the last eight
games he worked in on the road, and
since he is pitching for a team that is not
io ha hot
good.
Delhi is described as one OF those tall,
rangy, right handlers who possess great
speed and much curve. It's the quality
rather than the quantity of the pitchers
curve which deceives so much. In fact,
that Delhi curve has come to be one of
the nightmares OF the sluggers Of the
Pacific Coast.
The youngster also has a lot of speed,
according to the reports OF the scouts
who looked him over, but when it comes
down to the final analysis it is the curve
and not the speed with which the re-
cruit wins the games.
Delhi is a youngster, too. Not one of
those fellows who poses as a young fell
low and then shows up minus hair and
with the seamy face of veteran. They
say that he would be able to cast his
first vote this fall, but then it's difficult to
tell whether there will be anything on
in California at that time, and what's
the use of ball player voting just to
show that he's old enough?
President Comiskey was strong on get
ting him right away. Said his pitching
STAFF was not matching up to the re-
mainder of the team and he would be
much obliged If Barry would kindly sep
arate himself from the youngster at once.
Nothing doing. Barry came back and
said that Delhi was about the only ex-
cuse for his remaining in the league and
that If the fans knew he wouldn't pitch
they would remain away. So Commy was
forced to waive the point and content
himself with arranging for the youngster
TO report next spring.
