ALTA Street PAVING OFFERS VARIED

of paving on Alta street." says T. j..

culated the petition calling for the
paving of Alta street from Main

THAT petition called for paving
East Alta street and for paying for
the pavement by the property abutting

street people to help pay for the paw

Seemingly Mr.. Tweedy voices the
sentiment of quite few substantial

to pave hut two blocks OF their thor

<5T BILL ON SECOND VOTE
MEASURE LOSES ON FIRST VOTE, RECONSIDERED
Amendments Placing Coal Coke CementAppes and Berries
Of List and Striking Meat OFF, are Defeated With
out'CaIIing the Roll

Washington, Aug. 1.-The Farm
ers' Free List bill, passed the senate
today by vote of As to 30. The
measure was designed and passed
previously by the Democrats of the
house Of representatives. It is in
tended as a supplemental measure.
to give the agricultural sections Of
this country the advantages in trade
with Canada which it is asserted are
not contained in the Canadian Re-
ciprOcity measure which was passed
last week by the senate and now
awaiting the pleasure of the elector-
ate of the northern neighboring coun-
try.
Passed on Second Vote.
The bill was passed only after q
second vote had been taken. When
the bill came up in the senate this
morning, many of the senator's came
/ forward and offered amendments,
which they claimed were necessary
to the farmer, and for other reasons.
Senator Gronnas offered one, plac-
I ing cement on the free list. another
/ placing coal and coke on the list and
/ still another free listing apples and
berries.
/ Senator Bailey offered an amend
ment striking meats from the free
! list These were defeated without tho
! fcrmality Of a roll call.
Free Meat Added.
The bill, as il came from the house,
was rejected. and as finally adopted,
it carried an amendment by Kern
providing for free meats from all
countries, giving the same concessions
To the United States. 1t is believed
that when the measure goes back to
the house it will be concurred with
by the house and soon sent to the
president for his approval Among
those voting against it was Senator
Bourne of Oregon.
Defeated on First Vote.
After the amendments were dis
posed of, the bill itself was put on
final passage and there was a decid-
ed desire among many, who would
not admit it, to see the bill defeated.
The first vote resulted in a tie
80 to 80. president James Sher-
man cast the deciding vote-against
the measure, which was declared de-
feated.
Senator LaFollette of Minnesota,
Immediately made motion that tho
bill be reconsidered and after making
short address. the motion carried
and. the second vote resulted as stat
ed before.

Eight bodies were recovered.
Inmates Fight Rescuers.
Desperately fighting, as only ma
MACS can when thoroughly excited,
horrible scenes were enacted when
they repused physicians, guards,
nurses and firemen who were heroic
ally attempting to rescue them. 1t
was necessary to beat many of them
into unconsciousness and then drag
them to the windows and throw
them into life nets which were held
below
Many Daring Rescues.
Many daring rescues were effected
by the authorities and firemen. The
place was 50 situated that the fire
department could not reach il with
any of the fire fighting apparatus. In
fact the place is most inaccessible by
any method Of approach and the fire
department had to stand at the foot
of the hill while the building was
razed to the ground by the flames
The fircmen took part in the rescue
work. but no water could be gotten
to the burning place. More than six
hundred inmates were in the building
when the fire broke out and it is con-
sidered miraculous that the death list
is not many times as great as it is.
Dangerous Inmates Die.
Most of the fatalities occurred on
the fifth floor, where the dangerous
inmates were confined. Fighting as
hard as they could, these maniacs ran
through the flames shrieking like de-
mons until their lives were snuffed out
enacting scenes too horrible for de-
scription.

This. it is claimed, accounts for the

The discoveries resulted from the
arrest Of a chauffeur who had been
placed under arrest with another
man, on charges of abducting young

the custody of the officers by the

GOLDF|ELD HAS
IMPORTED THREE
! MORE "PROFS." !"
LOCAL BASEBALL BOYS ARE
PRACTICING FOR RETURN
GAME NEXT SUNDAY.

That Tonopah has the Goldfield
baseball bunch on the run is be-
yond question, Word from the
southern camp yesterday states that
the manager of the ball team in
the gold camp has imported three
new players from Southern Califor-
MIA to help his aggregation of semi
professionals. Tonopah, on the 9TH
er hand, has not a player on the
team who has not been regularly
employed in this camp, and their
baseball records were not taken into
consideration when they got their
positions, but the boys are conf
dent of winning, even if Goldfield
brings the whole Coast league.
There will be some change in the
lineup of the local team that will
play a return game in Goldfield
next Sunday. Willett is out of the
city at present and either Dorroh
or Captain Peck will be on the re-
ceiving end of the battery. Both
boys are good catchers, and with
an artist like Prout in the box, the
locals have little fear of the "semi-
profs.
Quite a number of the boys were
out last night for practice and will
continue to work the rest of the
week. "Chuck" Griffin, assayer at
the Belmont, had uniform on
last evening for the first time this
season, as did Milt Girton, and both
boys show excellent form.
Solicitors have been around town
today to get a bunch of rooters
to pledge themselves for tickets in
order to secure a special train Sun

that more than the seventy-five
