MAN ON FIRE.
Stack Painter Descends Dis
tance of $50 Feet
While His Clothes Are Blazing
on His Body.
BY A BURNING ROPE
He Makes the Trip to the
Ground and Safety.
His Trouble Is Caused by a De-
sire to Smoke.

Pittsburg, Pa, June 30.-Two hun
dred and fifty feet above the ground,
suspended by a rope that was burning
and his clothes blazing from naphtha
and carbon oil, Chris Sinkas, a stack
painter, Sc years old, made his way
down, hand under hand to earth, while
crowd of men stood horrified at the
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing company's plant in East Pitts
burg. He held a rope in his left hand
to regulate the speed of his descent. at
the same time using his right hand in
an effort to beat out the flames.
When Sinkas reached the ground his
clothing was almost entirely burned
from his body, he was terribly burned
ABOUT the right hand and arm, chest
ana race, and his left hand was raw
and bleeding from being torn by the
rope as he made the swift descent.
Slnkas was painting a smokestack

power house Before the tar is applied.
mixture of carbon oil and naphtha is
applied to the stack to cut off the rust.
Slnkas went to the top of the stack.
Be1ore starting to work he lighted 4

the match dropped into a bucket Of
naphtha and oil An instant later an
explosion occurred and Sinkas. aflame

burning rope.

Until De Longpre was Il years old he
attended public schools at Paris. At
that age he began to paint flowers on
fans and from this beginning he came
to be one of the most noted floral
painters.
His first oil paintings were accepted
at the Paris salon in 1876. Later he
was ruined in the collapse of a Paris
bank and in 1890 came to America, tax
ing up his residence in New York. In
1896 he made his first exhibition of
flower paintings only at the American
art galleries and he held annual exhibit
tions since that time. In 1889 he re-
moved to Los Angeles, and in 1901 built
a residence at Hollywood, Los Angeles
county, surrounded by three acres of
flower gardens. For 10 years the place
has been a noted point of interest for
tourists.
De Longpre made a close study of
California flora during his residence in
Hollywood, confining himself for the
most part to the more colorful types
and cOnventionalizing a number of
California flowers He maintained an
exhibition at his Hollywood villa
which he threw open to visitors with
the utmost hospitality and his resi-
dence was a mecca of flower lovers
who visited Los Angeles. He was one
of the originatOrs of the annual Holly
wood flower festival and cultivated a
gorgeous profusiOn Of flowers on his
grounds. Ho took a keen interest in
American politics.

HINES CROSS EXAMINED.
He sticks to His Story About Taft's
Position on LOrimer.

Washington, June 30.-Edward Hines
Of Chicago was subjected to a rigid
cross-examination by John H. Marble,
attorney for the senate investigating
committee. Mr. Hines contradicted
sworn testimony by President Herman
H. Hettler of the Hettler Lumber COM
pany of Chicago that Hines had boast
ed to him of having personally elected
Lorimer. He denied that the lumber
interests raised a big sum to lobby for
tariff legislation in 1909 or that the
lumber interests had anything to do
with the Lorimer election. Mr.. Hines
declared that he was absolutely certain
he was not mistaken about his testi
mony that former Senator Aldrich
stated to him the president was
anxious to have Mr.. LOrimer elected
Asked about a denial of this from the
White House after his testimony at
Springfield, Mr.. Hines merely said that
such a denial had never been called to
his attention"
With his pockets bulging with docu-
ments, Hines resumed the witness
stand before the committee
Mr.. Hines counsel sought to show
by these papers that Mr. Hines was not
in Chicago last February about the
time Clarence S Funk. general man
ager of the international Harvester
company claims Mr.. Hines called upon
him to refresh his memory in regard to
the famous Union league conversation,
in which Mr.. Funk testified Mr.. Hines
asked him to contribute 10000 to reim-
burse a S100, 900 Lorimer election fund.
Bills for services rendered him at q
Washington hotel for the month pre-
ceding March 4, were presented. The
first bill was for five days, the bill
amounting to $355.50.
Better read the items suggested
Senator Kern The largest item was
$3.50 cash. Another bill was for more
than $500.
Wasn't it possible, as far as these
bills are concerned, for you to have
been absent from the city and for your
wife to have remained alone at the
hotel?" asked Senator Jones.
Yes, sir. I went to Philadelphia
once but never to Chicago

DAWSON TO SEE.
Attorney General Will Investi-
gate Union Companies.
Will Also Look Into NOnuniOn
at Same Time.

Attorney General Dawson will in
vestigate both the union and mon
union" fire insurance companies and
their system of commissions to agents.
He hopes to settle the controversy by
compromise as he did the Topeka ice
complaint Representatives of the ''un-
ion" companies called on the attorney
general today and requested him that
before taking any action concerning The
separation rule Of insurance companies
he should give the union agents the
same considerate hearing that he had
to the so-called nonunion agents, and
give them a chance to present their
side of the controversy.
1--WE wish to show the attorney gen
eral," said a union representative to-
day, that so far as the antitrust law
is concerned, if we are violating it The
other compa AieS are doing likewise. We
have an association called the Western
Union, maintained to further the inter
est of sound and reliable insurance.
The other companies that do not belong
or which cannot belong to the Western
Union formed an association of their
own a year ago, called the Western
Bureau, and its practices are fashion
ed after ours. The nonunion compan-
les cannot contend that we are violat-
ing the law and that they are not
The whole difficulty appears to be
that the old line companies allow only
Is, 20 and 25 per cent commissions on
the various classes of insurance risks,
while the smaller nonunion companies,
in their anxiety to get business, often
allow large commissions, and where a
local agent has both union and nonun-
ion companies in his agency he will
give the business to the companies pay
ing the higher rate Of commission.
The nonunion companies want the
s11noriTf pn6pnt of insurance to order
the union companies to cease from dis
eliminating in the allowance of COM
missions to agents handling union and
nonunion companies. The union COM
panies contend that a Is per cent COM
mission Is a fair allowance to agents
who do not give them fair share OF
their business.
1t has also been suggested that the
attorney general commence proceed
ings under the antitrust law to test
the legality of the Western Union and
Western Bureau organizations This is
the subject which the attorney general
is now investi eating 1t is understood
that Mr. Dawson is seeking a solution
of the difficulty along the same lines
on which he settled the Topeka Ice
Trust case, and forcing all the COM
panies, union and non-union alike to
agree to reasonable maximum rates Of
commission, and making them refrain
from allowing higher rates on the
theory that the state has the right to
protect the public from hazardous
financing and extravagant manage
ment and expenditures in the insur-
ance busiess.
1t is the attorney generals idea that
he can use the antitrust law as a
cudgel to compel the companies to sub
NIT to any reasonable regulations re-
garding the allowances of commits
siOns.
