Fifteen Hours.

Area.

OSAKA, Japan, Jan. 16.-More
than 5000 homes, temples and pago-
das were wiped out and thousands
were rendered shelterless today by a
FIRE which swept through the slums of
the city. A regiment of infantry and
battalion of sappers aided the fire de-
partment in checking the progress of
the flames after a fifteen-hour fight.
Dynamite was used In large quanti-
ties to prevent the fire from spread
ing to the many arsenals near the
burned district.
1t is feared that many lives were
lost, as the devastation was complete
over a wide area. The cause of the
conflagration is unknown. Before the
alarm was given a score of flimsy
structures were wrapped in flames.
The blaze spread rapidly and because
of the highly inflammable material OF
which the houses we're constructed,
the work of the fire fighters was most
difficult.
a uulupei VI ldctofiSS were ueSlToy'
ed and many persons will be without
work. The government is preparing
to care for the homeless in the public
buildings.
Nearly 1000 temples are located in
Osaka and many of these were in
the path of the flames. No estimate
of the property loss could be obtained
] but it will be very heavy.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-How the beef
barons" of Chicago made millions OF
dollars of hidden profits" while they,
as well as representative of other in
dustries, were bowling hard times"
during the dark days of the panic of
1897. was brought out in the trial of
the beef men before Federal Judge
Carpenter today.
The "juggled accounts and 'inflat-
ed costs" of Morris & Co., were re-
duced through the questions of the
government attorneys put to Harry
A. Timmins, chief accountant for the
company, to show that on what in the
books appears as a cost of s3,403, this
company realized S9,147,457 from the
sale of hides in fifteen months.
The government attorneys showed
that each month only insignificant
amounts were credited to the cost of
dressed beef as the value of the
hides Of cattle slaughtered. The peo-
pie who bought the meat paid for the
hides, the oleo fats, and all the other
by-products. The company sold hides,
oleo fats, ETC., at almost complete pro-
fit while the cost of all these articles,
assessed against the cost of meats
made it appear that the packing in
dustry was being terribly squeezed by
the hard times. Month by month the
( government went over the figures for
1907 and 1905.
In April 1909 When grand jury in
dictments began to threaten, new
method of bookkeeping became effec
tive, according to the story of the
government attorneys. In that month
the Morris company credited the
dressed meat cost" with s55,TT6 as
the value of hides. These hides were
sold for s112,S34.
What has been developed with re
gard to the procedure in the Morris
company, the government charges
was true also in the Armour company

before the close of his term, will
probably recommend it's adoption to

With David and Edward Mckinley
protesting their innocence of the muir
der OF Miss Fannie Hagelgans, q re-
cluse. who was dubbed and shot to
death three years ago on her lonely

sans, brother of the victim, asserting
that the Mckinley brothers commit
ted the murder for blood money
paid them by him, the grand jury in
Pickaway county Is summoned to
meet tomorrow to consider the case.
Another angle is furnished by the
inability of the authorities thus far to
discover any trace of the body of
frank Coltz, farm hand, who Hagel-
gans asserts was murdered by the
Mckinleys when he went to the as-
sistance Of Miss Fannie Hagelgans on
the night of the murder. Hagelgans
says that Coltz was murdered and
mis- body hidden in the woods near
the house. For three years this farm
hand was believed guilty Of the crime
by the police who had searched the
country for him until the time of
Hagelgans partial confession last
Sunday.
