THREE DE; SCORE HURT
IN Los ANGELES BLAZE
HeroiSm of Hotel Elevator Boy
Saves Many Others
From Death.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, November 49,
Three persons are known to have been
killed and about twenty injured in a fire
at the st. George Hotel on East Sd street
near Main. which started at midnight.
The fire started on the second floor. and.
drawn up through the elevator shaft, 1t
spread SO rapidly that those on the fifth
and sixth floors who did not receive the
warning in time were compelled to jump
from the windows. Those who lost their
lives jumped from t., upper floors:
The Dead and Injured.
The known dead are:
Mrs. Charlotte Harrington.
Mrs. Ella Moran.
Joseph Martin, jewelry clerk, Los An
geles.
The injured:
Baby Harrington, eighteen months old,
slightly burned.
Ray Harrah, vaudeville performer, in
jured jumping from sixth floor.
Mrs. Ray Harrah, injured jumping from
sixth floor.
Julius Malone. colored, engineer at no.
tel. fatally burned.
Jefferson Osborne moving picture actor,
burns on face and arms.
The others were only slightly injured.
Many had miraculous escapes from
death. and perhaps a score or more owe
their lives to the heroism of Oscar Jones
who ran the single elevator of the hotel
making trips to the sixth floor with the
small car packed with humanity until the
flames and smoke made further trips i'm
possible.
There also were a number of heroic
rescues by the firemen.
Saves Baby, But Dies Herself.
Mrs. Harrington. who was a member
of a company playing at local theater,
lost her life jumping from the fifth floor.
Escape had been cut off, the only means
having been a single stairway in the
building, which was soon ahlaze.
She first tossed her eighteen-month-old
baby into the net held by the firemen and
then jumped, but missed the net and sus-
tained injuries which caused her death a
short time later at hotel across the
street to which she had been removed.
A woman whose name was said to be
Mrs. Ella Moran ju..-ped from a sixth
story window on the front Of the hotel
and was crushed to death on the sidewalk
below.
Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Book jumped from a
sixth-story window. Mrs. Book was
taken to the receiving hospital. where it
was learned that her back had been
broken.
Books injuries are not serious. Mr..
and Mrs. Book were said to have come
here recently on their honeymoon.
The fire did comparatively little dam
age except to the upper floors.

Vogel Begins the Battle.

She did not have time to finish the SEN
tence, for suddenly the door was flung
wide, and Vogel stood in the sill. He
crashed down his blackjack on Aliens
head, and the detective dropped.
Like a hare, he jumped to the bed and
grabbed his big yapid-fire gun AS he
lunged to get in the room. shot pierced
his abdomen. And then Vogel turned on
Fay before the detective could get ou,

Butter had turned to run, and was
leaping down the stairs when Vogel shot
him. and then Monsdcheln, who had
raced up stars at the first shot.

Chase of Vogel and Lottie.

Allen and Gerard were detectives fol
the National Security Company and were
the ones who began the hunt for Vogel
For some time they had been on the
mans trail, and yesterday afternoon they
ran across him at 26th street and 10th
avenue. He was in a taxicab with the
girl, and piled on the seat with the chauf.
feur with three suit cases and two
steamer trunks.
in some way Vogel found he was being
followed and bid his chauffeur put on all
speed. His taxicab fled into a side
street, and then up 9th avenue for q
while, with Allen and Gerardi close be
hind.
In some way thu taxicab with Vogel ano
the girl inside got away. and then Gerard
and Alien began wild goose chase TO,
half an hour. They were looking out o1
the windows in all directions when sud
denly Allen saw Detective Marty" Fay
The central Office man got in the taxicat
with the other two, and after he haC
worked few of his own private wires
the trio started for the Bronx.
Traced to Hotel.
How they got the tip that the man and
the girl were at the Esmere Hotel is un.
known, but when they did get there they
learned that Vogel had registered there
with the woman as Mr.. and Mrs Harry
Vogel.''
The detectives went to Mondschein, who
told Butler to escort them upstairs. A:
they reached the head of the second
flight of steps Butler pointed to door
and said softly:

Soil Exhausting Crops.

Seed crops, such as cereals and
fruits, exhaust the soil much more
than root crops, and even come cereals
absorb far more plant food than
others. For instance, the farmer who
grows lax does so at greater cost
than the grower of wheat, corn and
grains.
The same reasoning, therefore,
shows that, as grains of all kinds
draw their phosphoric acid from the
soil, the oily seeds will exhaust the
soil of its phosphates to q mach great
er degree than the grain crops; hence
100 pounds of linseed will carry out
about twice IS much phosphoric
acid from the soil as 100 pounds OF
wheat. Ia the application of fertili-
zers the grower should understand
the requirments of his various crops
in order to get the best results and
m aintain the even fertility Of his soil.

Growth Of Sugar Industry.

In 1872. when the first sugar was
manufactured from beets 1t took twenty
tons OF beets to produce one ton OF
sugar, and At the present time it only
requires about elk tons. This decrease
in the amount of beets required TO pro-
duce one ton of sugar has been due to
two things-more perfect method In
manuf fscture. and to q higher percent
age content Of sugar in the beet, priu-
cipslly to the latter.
This increase of sugsr content has
been the result of scientific plant breed.
ing. and the results that have been
attained in this line are the most re-
mark able and economically the mos,
important that have ever been accom-
plished through the science OF plan'
breeding. Beginning with q plan
ths did not contain over per cent o
sugar, systematic selection by th'
plant breeder has produced strai.
that sometimes contains as high IS Q
per cent of sugar and the average TO
an entire crop season in Germany ha
been as high IS II per cent, as wa
the case in 1910.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l8.-Good

will hope for the passage Of the bill
just introduced by Representative e
Mondell of Wyoming, by the terms of
which an additional sum OF 25 per
cent, from all forest reserve receipts is
to be devoted to road maintenance

helm secured the enactment OF SINH
lar bill, appropriating only 10 per
cent, from forest reserves receipts OF
1912. which this year added an aver
age of $50, 900 to each OF the western
states containing forest reserves.
This appropriation was for 1912 only,

is intended IS q regular annual sum

SHOULD COMPENSATE OWNERS

The recommend ations made by the
state livestock sanitary board and
by M. E. Knowles, state veterin arian,
in the annual report of the board to
Governor Norris, tt at there be legisla-
tion to reimburs owners of cattle and
horses that are killed under orders
from state officers, because they are
afflicted with contagious diseases, is
one that should be favorably acted
upon by the Legislature. DR.. Knowles
Gays in some cases more than so per
cent of the herd of an owner has been
killed by the authorities and that this
has been "frightful burden on the
Individual and has in q number OF
cases practically impoverished them"
1t is right that animals suffering
from contagious disease should be
killed and stepsItaken to eradicate the
contagion. This il necessary for the
projection of the livestock OF the state.
1t is the law and It's strict observance,
which has been insisted upon by the
livestock board and the state veterin-
arian, is for the best interests of Mon
tana, says the Helena Record. But it
is unjust that where those who are
unfortun ate enough to have animals
in their possession suffering from
dangerous contagious diseases should
be compelled to bear the whole burden
OF eradication. Where no compensa.
tion is allowed, it is but natural that
some owners prefer to take chances
and keep the animals, or sell them to
an unsuspecting buyer, than to report
their cases to the authorities. II they
knew they would be paid something
for the animals if they were killed, 4,
there are many who do not now co.
operate with the authorities who would
do SO.
Montana is today more free from
communicable animal diseases than
any state in the union, due TO the
efforts of State Veterinarian Knowles
and those who have worked In an
official way with him in fighting them.
Eternal vigilance is the essential it
this state would retain the good repu.
tation it now has as a producer Of
livestock, and nothing will conduce
in a greater degree to clean herds,
from disease, than cooperation be-
tween the owners and growers OF
domestic animals and the state officers
whose duty it is to see that contagious
diseases are kept out. This co-opera-
tion can be brought about by the
legisl ature acting favorably upon the
recommendations of the state veterin-
! ariRn.
