IN TURNING HOTEL
Guest Awolze Two Hours After the
Fire Started.

Peoria, Ill, Nov. 1S.-At 8.45 o'clock
this morning the fire department had
the flames under control but was still
playing several streams on the remains
of the National hotel, the largest in
this city. which was totally destroyed
last night at IL o'clock
Chester NIoobery, a fireman, was in
stantly killed BY the falling of the

building He was single man.
That none of the guests was killed
or seriously injured, owing to the late
ness of the hour, is miracle.

during the progress of the fire and was
rescued with some difficulty from the
third floor. He appeared at the win

what had happened, and disappeared.
A few minutes later ladder was sent
up and the fireman assisted him down

GARBAGE PILES UP
New York Health Board Is Forced to
Use Disinfectant.

New York, Nov. 13.-If the garbage
CATERERS strike is not broken today,
the health department will step in to
save New York from the evil effects
of some forty thousand carloads of
refuse that has accumulated since the
men who drive the street cleaning de-
partment wagons quit work because
they objected to night hours.
Fear of the strikers and their friends
has kept professional strike breakers
from accepting the high wages the
city offers for substitutes and dread of
the teamsters union has prevented
contractors from bidding to perform
the work usually done by the city de-
partment.
Actually the health department in
tervened today when its men took out
several hundred barrels of dfsinfectant
to sprinkle on the piles of rotting
garbage in the poorer and more thick
ly populated districts.
The police believe that the severe
clubbings administered to some of the
big mobs that gathered yesterday have
taught the strike npathizer a lesson.
Although yesterdays riots were the
most extensive the police have had to
cope with since the strike began there
were no fatalities and few hospital
cases and the number of arrests has
been remarkably small.

CAN'T PEDDLE BEER.
Leavenworth Man Not Engaged in
Interstate Commerce.

IF a man loads some beer on a wagon
and then peddles it through the streets
of a town in Kansas he is just as
guilty of a violation of the prohibitory
law as if he ran q joint in a certain
building. This was the decision of the
Kansas supreme court in the appeals
of the cases of Harry Rabinowitz from
Leavenworth county. Rabinowitz
maintained a warehouse at Stilings,
Mo-, from which he sent liquor into
Leavenworth and disposed of it. The
attorney general brought an injunc-
ton proceeding against Rabinowitz to
enjoin him using the streets and al
1eys of Leavenw for committing a
nuisance, the state law providing that
the sale of liquor constituted a nuis
ance. The lower court sustained the
demurrer of Rabinowitz and denied
the injunction asked by the state. The
supreme court in reversing the case,
held that it was just as much a nuis-
ance to sell beer on the streets and al
leys as it was to have a joint or saloon.
