0L0NIAL HALL
FOUND MODERN
AND FIREPR00F
There Had Been Failure Merely
to Place Illuminated Sign at
Rear Exit

Building Inspector Daniel M. Row
land and Fire Chief Mooney inspect
ed the fire escape facilities at Colonial
Hall, in Fairfield avenue, this morn
ing. and found them all right and in
accordance with the law. Building
INSPECTOR Rowland stated, however,
that he would recommend that illum-
mated signs, bearing the word, Exit
be placed over the doors leading to
an iron stairway at the rear OF the
building.
Jackson was called to the hall this
morning Before he had got out Of
bed his telephone rang and prom l.
nent citizen at the other end Inform
ed him that he had attended the
Chautauqua lecture in the hall last
night, and that he had noticed that
there was no provision made for es-
cape in case of fire. The prominent
citizen was very much disturbed over
the condition because of the large
crowd that was in attendance at the
lecture. ~
The alderman stated he knew moth
ing of the conditions but would con-
vey the citizens complaint to the
proper authorities. The citizen was
of the opinion that the only means
Of ingress and egress was the stair
way leading from Fairfield avenue.
Building Inspector Rowland said
this morning that the lew had been
complied with by the owners when
they built the building and at the
rear was an iron staircase that was
covered in and which connected with
the main floor of the hall on the sec
ond story and with the gallery on
the third story. He said he had or
dered the Illuminated exit signs
placed at the time the building was
built and supposed they had been
placed The building he said was
one of the most modern and best IN
the city.

RAGING AUTO KILLS
NINEj MANY HURT
DaSheS Through Fence at Big
Syracuse Fair.

Several more deaths are expected to
swell the list of nine which resulted
from a racing automobile going seven
ty-five miles an hour plunging from the
water-soaked track and crashing into
the throng at the side at the New
York state fair grounds at Syracuse,
N. Y.
Lee Oldfeld, the driver Of the car,
is in a serious condition at the hospi-
tai under the guard of q police Of
ficer.
For more than twenty miles, it is
declared by spectators, he had driven
hic car on slippery course with one
of his shoes Tapping. Urged by his
manager, it is said, to pass the leading
car, Oldfield went on until he lost con.
troll of the car and dashed through
fence at a point where spectators were
lined up ten deep.
Nine were killed and five probably
mortally injured The rest of the
racing program was continued, with
scores in danger as they thronged the
track about the scene of the tragedy.
The list of dead may be increased,
rs it is believed at this time that sew
Oral of those who are numbered among
the injured are so badly hurt that they
cannot live.
The car which crashed into the
fence was registered as driven by Fred
Belcher, and was so upon the pro-
gram, and no notice was given at the
judges stand of a substitution. Lee
Oldfield, the injured racing driver, is
brother of the noted Barney Old
field.
There we're over $4,000 people at
the track, packed densely around the
entire course. Fortunately the smallest
number of spectators were on the
back stretch and at almost the exact
point where the accident occurred.

DEAD MAN TIED TO
STAKE IN SWAMP
Victim Of Revenge Stung to
Death BY Mosquitoes.

The wreaking of a terrible revenge
upon foe is believed to have been
unearthed near Biloxi, Miss.
The nude body of a man has been
found tied to a stake in the midst of
the swamps on White Grass island, in
the Gulf of Mexico. The man had been
dead week. The hands and feet had
been securely bound by cords to a
stake driven into the earth.
The police believe that the man
was the victim of revenge. That part
of the swamp where the body was
found is alive with unusually large
mosquitoes, and hunters who go there
for ducks must muffie their faces and
encase their hands in heavy mittens to
protect themselves.
Hunters say that a man, nude and
helpless, would literally be stung to
death In a few hours.
The authorities, convinced that the
man was a victim of revenge, have
set about trying to solve the mystery
and that, because of the exquisite tor.
ture and extreme cruelty to which the
victim must have been subjected be
fore death relieved his sufferings, that
there must have been a woman CON
fsrned in the mysterious death.

DIES SUDDENLY
Ex-senator Of Montana Passes
Away in Washington.
WAS I'LL ONLY A WEEK

He Played an Important Role For
Years In National Politics and
Served In Both Branches of Con-
eress.
Thomas H. Carter, United States
senator from Montana until March
last, died at his home in Washington.
Senator Carter's illness was known
only to his family and a very few in
Inmates. 1t had lasted only a week,
but had been alarming from the very
first.
Members of the family were over
come by the sudden death of Senator
Carter, and owing to the prostration
of Mrs. Carter it had not been intend
ed to allow the fact of the death to
become public.
Senator Carter is survived by his
widow, Ellen Galen Carter, and two
sons, John G. and Hugh Thompson
Carter, both students in the art school
of Georgetown university. Mrs. Carter
and her sons were at the bedside when
death came.
MIR. Carter had been under the care
of a physician for months. He was
able to go about, however, and his all
ment, filling of the lungs with clot
ted blood, did not become acute until
about a week ago.
Mr.. Carter had a remarkable ca
reer. It extended over twenty-five
years Of congressional and official life
at Washington. This embraced service
as the first representative elected
from Montana, two terms in the Unit
ed States senate and executive posi-
tions as commissioner of the general
land office.
He was chairman of the Republican
national committee in the second and
unsuccessful campaign of Benjamin
Harrison for the presidency, president
of the board of United States commits
sioners for the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition at St. Louis, and since last
March chairman of the neawly created

with Canadian boundary matters.

was his defeat of big river and har

President Mckinley did not favor

at night and talked continuously unit
noon of the day following, when the
session of congress expired.

him for Secretary of the Interior t

Among the managers suggested as
possible head of the Republican ns
tional committee for the campaign @

been mentioned. His defeat by Den
ocrat for reelection to the senat
caused Mr.. Carter's retirement froI
that body March last.
President Taft then named him
