THREATENED BY FIRE
Alabama Starts Some
thing for the Fire
Laddies.

East Chicago. May 1o.-The postofice
was threatened by fire last evening.
when Ala bama" the colored janitor of
the Given building in which the post
office is located. started a fire under d
hot-water boiler which for some time
had bean unused
Something was wrong with the
chimney and all of the smoke instead Of
going up through the f1ues.- poured into
the building, and for a time it looked
as though there was a serious blaze
somewhere on the premises.
The fiat occupied by J. S. Cressweil
received most of the smoke although
this was distributed to a considerable
extent to the other flats in the building
and into the post office and Bicknelrs
drug store.
An alarm was turned in but the fire.
mon were not slow to realize that the
fire and smoke was all from the chin
ney. and so turned on no water In
short while the difficulty was remedied
and the excitement which. at first ran
high, owing to the supposed menace to
the postoffice was abated.

To Clean Up Docket.
This is the first grand jury that Judge
Becker has ever charged and in his re-
marks he informed the jurors that the
principal reason for calling the grand
jury is for the purpose of disposing Of
a number of cases that had come up
from the justice courts and had been
filed as a matter of spite work
1t is the purpose of Judge Becker to
have the grand jury go through num-
Der of these cases and should a number
of them be found in which it is deemed
inadvisable to go to the expense of d
trial they will be dismissed and the de-
PENDANTS ordered released from jail or
from their bonds.
Judge Becker pointed out that 1t costs
SIS to $50 day for each of the LAX ;
Superior courts and 1t is nothing short
of extravaganza to waste the money
of the county in trying petty criminal
cases which have resulted from clothes
line fights.

{. /. GARY
SCORING
CONGRESS

New York May 9.-From speeches at
dinner given by E. II. Gary, chairman
of the United States Steel Corporation.
to members of the American Iron and
Steel Institute. made public by Judge
Gary tonight it is plain that the day of
competition in the steel industry is
past.
The dinner given Friday night
and was attended by about sixty repre-
sentative steel and iron manufacturers
of the country. 1t is the first time pub
Lefty has been given to these dinners.
In his address Judge Gary pitches
the oratory of the occasion In a high
key of harmony and good will between
the Steel Trust proper and the indie
pendent companies. He limited strongly
that the Steel Trusts policy of main
tanning prices were of peculiar benefit
to the Independents and admonishe ed
them that as long as they would not at
tempt to undersell the trust they would
be permitted to do all the business they
migh. be able to obtain.
On he subject of general business
| conditions Judge Gary said:
1t would be a mistake for any one TO
shut his eyes to the fact that in our
Hines and in business lines generally
throughout this country conditions are
not good we would like TO have
| them Business in January. February
and March was very good. but the extra
| session of Congress has had a bad
effect on conditions throughout the
country. 1t is a pity that an extra ses-
sion seemed to be unavoida BILE and 1t is
| regrettable that politics should inter-
fere with business progress
1T is deplorable that so many poll
| ticians are more politicians and not
statesmen; that for political purposes
action should be taken or proposed in
the Congress of the United States which
| is to the great disadvantage of property
and business success. Nevertheless, i,
| is a fact: We know by sad experience
that when Congress is in session there
is sudden and a marked hesitation
fear and doubt; distrust which enters
the mind OF the general business public
We have felt it very materially; Others
have felt It,"
The dinner was made specially nota-
| BILE by the fact that James A. Farrell
the new president of the Steel Trust
made his initial speech since being
elected to office through the influence o.
j. P. Morgan and Judge Gary.

place in the steel industry in thi.

When the little girl failed to return to

They made search which was fruitless
and the nnotified the police. Detectives

1t was last night about six o'clock
that workman returning from the

fell that there is little use for them p
try to beautify their property, so long
as cows and other live stock per-
mitted to roam at will.
About ten members of the Beacon
street improvement association were
present at yesterdays meeting. The
question of procuring a lawn mower to

was brought up but put over until the
next meeting. In the meantime. mem

1t was suggested that householders
take care of the vacant spaces between

with general approval and no action
was taken on it.
The case against Mrs. Pubic was con-
tinued until tomorrow. there was no
lawyer for the city to prosecute the
case when it was called this morning.

PLAN FOR SHELTER
NEAR TUCSON MADE
Plant to Be Located About
Fifteen Miles From
Town.

Plans for construction of a smelter
near Tucson are near completion. IN
official announcement is made that re-
duction works will be built on site close
to Tucson by the Pioneer Smelling COM
pany, that controls extensive proper
ties in San Xavier and Patagonia min
ing districts.
The Pioneer company owns num-
Der of properties in Pima county, hav-
ing considerable forces of men, at work
on both the Plumed Knight and Gould
properties in the San Xavier as well as
on mines in the Patagonia district. The
exact site of the smelter has not been
announced, as it is desired by the pro-
moters to secure a situation sufficiently
close to Tucson to insure easy shipping
distance by a branch line, to the main
line yet sufficiently far from cultivated
areas to avoid the smoke damage claims
which are a great source of annoyance
to smelling companies all over the
country The site win, for these rea-
sons, be at least 10 and probably Is
miles from Tucson. The company back
OF Mr.. Waters is a strong aggregation
of eastern capitalists and already more
than $1,000 is in sight for the com
mencement of work.

Mexico by Durango
Bandits.

R. F. Fftz. general manager Of FL
Orito Mining company. operating near
Yerbanis. state Of Durango. Mexico, has
arrived in FL Paso from the mine after
several months Of rather strenuous
life. He says me threat of punishment
has been passed on him and A z. Davis,
his superintendent, by the rebels. This
was the result of a complaint which
was filed by Mr.. Fftz at the American
state department against the Mexican
government for damages sustained dur
ing five separate raids which were
made upon the company's property by
bands calling themselves reyolutionists
The case was taken up by wire with
Mexico, whose foreign office assured
the American. government that the dam
ages would b paid. and that the prop
erty in the future void receive ample
protection Mr.. Fitz came TO Mexico i'm
mediately after. but the Mexican gov
eminent had beaten him to ii, and be-
fore his arrival in Torreon % men were
placed on guard at the property, and
an equal number was ordered from
Pasaje in order to assure the safety of
employees and supplies. This enraged the
leaders OF the bands to the extent that
notice was served upon the two men
toned above that notwithstanding the
presence of troops. they would be sum-
marily dealt with
Mr. Fitz says these bands are not in
surrectos, but bandits operating on
their own account. He says that most
of the mines in the state of Durango
are practically closed down, more
especially in the northern part of the
state. on account of not being able to
get in money to meet the pay rolls. and I
