BIG FIRE IN ELG|N;,
$4,000 DAMAGE
Four-Story Department Store Is
Totally Destroyed.
THEATER PANIC IS AVERTED
National Guardsmen Aid in Handling
Hose-Entire Business District 10
Mystery in
Initial Explosion.
THEATER PANIC IS AvERTED

Elgin, ILL.,, April 9.-The entire bust
ness district of Elgin and the lives of
hundreds of persons were threatened
last night in fire of mysterious
origin. BY the desperate efforts Of
the entire fire fighting forces of the
city. aided by the work of company
Of the Illinois National Guard the
flames were checked after loss es-
timated at $4,000. A fourstory
building was completely consumed,
the First National bank building was
damaged, and a third and smaller
building was slightly burned
The manning of four leads of hose
by the volunteer soldiers brought
cheers from the large crowd that as
sembled, and the actors and employees
OF the Empire theater were included
in the list Of those who performed
bravely with danger impending.
Victims and Their Losses.
The concerns which suffered losse,
follow:
Isaac Cohen G. Co., dry goods; loss
Of $4,000 on stock; Lethin Brothers,
tailor shop, $4,000; Miss Ivy Wallace.
milliner. $1,000; Elgin Fruit and
Candy company. $4,000; First Nation
al bank of Elgin, $1,000
Minor losses are expected to bring
the total up to s150.00O. An investi-
cation of the cause of the fire was
impossible because of the total de-
struction of the building. Frank
Bollman, a Waterman, tried the door
of the Cohen store and found every
thing apparently in normal condition.
He had walked but short distance
from the store when loud explosion
shook the ground.
Explosion in Cohen Easement.
The sound came from the building
occupied by the Cohen concern and
when Bollman reached the rear of it
he found flames spreading from the
basement through the upper floors.
The store is illuminated with gas, and
the only theory advanced as to the
cause of the blaze was that one of the
night lamps had exploded.
When :he fire company arrived the
entire structure was ablaze and all the
other companies We're ordered out.
Fourteen leads of hose were strung
and there was not a sufficient number
Of firemen to handle them.
Theater Panic Averted.
A theatrical performance was in
progress at the Grand theater, two
doors south of the Cohen store. One
of the actors stepped to the foot
lights and announced to the crowded
house that there was small fire In
the neighborhood He asked the peo-
pie to file out in an orderly manner
Then the gave the signal and the
orchestra played lively march step.
At the doors, as the throngs stormed
them, there was slight stampede,
which muscular doormen speedily sup
pressed, and the audience then made
its exit without anyone being hurt.

MONOPOLY SUIT
DENIED REHEARING
U. S. Supreme Court Adheres to
Patent Ruling.
GOVERNMENTS PLEA REFUSED
No Reason Assigned for Denying Pc
tition--Anti-Trust Policy Is
vitality Involved in the
Decision.

Washington, April >9.-The last hope
that the Supreme court of the United
States might rehear it's recent patent
monopoly" decision vanished when
the court announced its refusal to re-
consider it's conclusion. Renewed eff
forts will now be made, 1t is under
stood, to have congress amend the
patent laws so as to limit the rights
to use patents enjoyed by their own
ers.
No reason was assigned for the de-
NAL of rehearing, but it is generally
understood that none of the justices
who concurred in the decision desired
TO reconsider his vote.
Governments Plans Not Affected.
The governments antitrust policy
is vitality involved because many of
the pending cases and Investigations
concern alleged usurpation Of power
through the extension of the patent
rights.
The courts action, it is said, will
not affect the governments course un-
der the Sherman law at this time, as
ultimately it is believed the question
will be brought before the court in
some of the pending cases.
On March IL the court decided that
in selling a patented machine the
patentee may require the purchaser to
use only such supplies for the ma
chine as are purchased from the own
er Of the patent, Notwithstanding that
the supplies are not patentable.
Two Justices Dissent.
The decision was supported by only
four members of the court, Justices
Lurton, McKenna, Holmes and Van
Devanter. Chief Justice White and
Justices Hughes and Lamar dissent
ed, claiming that the court had ex-
tended the patent law to cover every
thing in the universe, to the detri-
ment of every householder in the
land. Justice Day was absent during
the argument of the case and took no
part in the decision. Justice Pitney
was not then a member of the court.
The government Joined In the appli-
cation for a rehearing and asked to
be made a party to the case. The
rules of the court provide that re-
hearing will not be granted unless a
justice who concurred in the judgment
desires it.

BAY DEAL is Barred
LAND BOOMERS SAID TO BE BE-
HIND MAGDALENA INCIDENT.
Declared Statement to Senate viii
Disclose Fact Japanese Are Not
Deeply Involved.

Washington, April 9.-When the
facts bearing on the Magdalena bay
incident are sent to the senate this
week it will be shown, in all PROBABLE
ity, that 1t Is the American money
making instinct and not Japanese ag-
gressiveness that has caused such a
furore. according to the latest version
here.
The way in which Japanese inter
ests became involved was this: An
American company had been organ
lied for the purpose of developing a
vast tract of land bordering on Mag
dalena bay. A scheme of colonial
ton was embraced in the plan Of de-
velopment. But it soon was found
that emigration from the states was
not going to result in populating the
acquired territory. The land was USE
less without men to develop it. In
the emergency that was confronted
with the prospect of losing out on its
original investment, the American cor
poratlon sought to interest Japanese
capitalists, who in tGrn enlisted the
support of one of the Japanese steam
ship companies operating between
Yokohama. San Francisco and Salina
Cruz
When the subject was brought to
public attention year or more ago
Mexico was approached with a view
to finding out what understanding be-
tween Japan and the Mexican govern
ment might be behind the scheme. 1t
was found there was no understand
ing; but Mexico, 1t is understood, dis
couraged the carrying forward of the
deal
