TALLAHASSEE
HAS BAD FIRE
THREE PLACES OF BUSINESS
PRACTICALLY DESTROYED AND
BUT FOR GOOD WORK OTHERS

Special 70 The Journal.

Tallahassee, April 25.-About IL
o'clock last night, the most devastat-
ing fire that has visited Tallahassee in
many years broke out in the Lively
block, originating in the kitchen of a
restaurant kept by Constantine Allegro.
Algeros store was on the ground floor
of the same section, and on either
1 side were Hills book store and Cor
belts furniture store. These two
places of business were almost COM
pletely demolished, Algero's entirely
so. It is estimated that Corbett's in
surance will cover about one-third of
his loss, and Hills about one-fourth.
Allegro had no insurance.
The chief subject of conversation on
the streets this morning is the splen-
did work done by TallahaSee's volun-
teer fire department in restraining the
flames to his small area. Except for
some damage by water, Affords store,
Immediately adjacent to Hills, and
Levy's large establishment, Immediate

ed. The boys" fought, bravely, and,
although threatened by a diminishing
water pressure, got control of the
sitaution and saved thousands of dol
lars worth of property to the city.

Columbus Ga, April 25.-Mack Dun
can, aged So, of Pensacola, Fla, tenn
porarily residing in Columbus, was
found dead in an S0-foot well in the
back yard of his home at 3 o'clock this
morning. 1t was first thought that 1t
was either suicide or an accident, but
later developments. however, point to
possible foul play.
A coroner's inquest was held but
was not concluded. An examination of
the remains showed a wound or cut by
short instrument on the head that
might have produced death.
Testimony before the coroner showed
that Duncan was attracted by a noise
in the yard early this morning and
went out, his wife following shortly
afterward. She returned to the house.
but he did not. Later she gave an
alarm and search was made and the
body found standing on the head in
the well.
The investigation will be concluded
Thursday.

MIDNIGHT TRIP
TO CHICAGO
c. F. WIEHE SAYS HE~WAs SENT
OUT FROM SPRINGFIELD TO
HAVE MEN EVADE PROCESS
SERVERS.
BY Associates Press.

Springfield, Ill, April &c. F.
Wiehe, a brother -in-Iaw of Edward
Hines, the Chicago lumberman, ad-
mitted before the senate bribery in
vestigation committee today that Hines
sent him on a midnight mission to
Chicago in an effort to have w. H.
Cook and William O'Brien evade the
Cook county process servers at the
time the Lorimer scandal was first
made public in May, 1910.
Wiehe's statement followed and to a
certain degree corroborated the sensa-
tional recital by w. H. Cook, of Du-
luth, who said he was in a room in
Chicago hotel with O'Brien and Ed
ward Hines when Hines telephoned to
some one he called governor at
Springfield and that during the tele-
phone conversation Hines asserted
that he (Hines) was ready to go to
Springfield with all necessary money to
elect Lorimer.
Governor Deneen today declared he
never held such a conversation with
Hines. A telegram from Chicago says
Hines, too, denies Cooks statement.

that his county had the most corrupt
politics in the state. The committee
considered at the same time the Som
merville bill, which is a duplicate of
the McMuIlin substitute bill The final
vote of the committee was five to
three in favor of an adverse report, 1t
is likely that this report forestalls
the fate of the bill in the house.
The senate today passed the en-
ployes' relief bill which was passed a
few days ago in the house. 1t is ru-
mored that Governor Gilchrist will

introduced bill to abolish the office
of special counsel for the railroad COM
mission. was asked this 'morning why
he was moved to offer such bill
Because" he said, the attorney
general is paid to do this work and he
is responsible for it and should attend
to it: that's the first reason" Then
the speaker put the second reason in
the form of question: What have
they ever done?" he asked. Il guess
they will point to the L. e. n. rate
matter; but it seems strange doesn't
IT, that they should have been about
it for eight years without accomplish
ing the end sought and now step for
ward and claim the credit for it." The
speaker was of the opinion that the
three-cent- bill introduced by Senator
Stokes in the senate and Representa-
tive West in the house had something
very material to do with it.
INCREASE ATTORNEYS SALARY.
Mr.. Jennings said he thought the
attorney general should be paid bet
ter salary. and that some measures
would probably be taken in connection
with his bill to abolish the Office of
attorney for the railroad commission
to make the office of attorney general
carry a more adequate compensation.
The attorney general receives 50,
year, whereas the special attorney for
the commission is paid $4,000. Attor-
ney L. G. Massey. for the commission,
resigned his position at the beginning
of the session. He is a member of the
state senate and has been previously
criticised for holding two state offices
at the same time, though there is a
difference of opinion as to this. An
other cause for the resignation is that
Mr.. Massey desires to return to priv
ate practice at his home, Orlando,
which he feels would be much more
lucrative than his official attorney
ship.
So ii happens that the railroad COM
at present has no paid attor-
ney, though Senator Massey has con-
tinued to act in that capacity since
his resignation without compensa-
ton.
NEEDS TWO ATTORNEYS.
Commissioner Royal c. Dunn said
today that the effectiveness Of the
commission would be destroyed If the
position of special attorney should be
abolished. 'It is impossible" said Mr..
Dunn, ito secure In the office of at
torney general a lawyer of the caliber
to meet the railroad attorneys upon
anything like an equal footing at the
salary of $2,50o. The railroad COM
mission has the best legal talent in the
country to oppose, and the need for a
special attorney who can give all Of
his time to work is so well-known to
all who are In touch with the work
of the commission that 1t does not
have to be argued. 1t would be more
reasonable to give us two attorneys
than to deprive us of the one we have,
for there is work enough for two to do.
