Houston, Tex, May 2O.-Fire in the

The fire spread rapidly from a large
six story building TO surrounding strUc-

burned practically the whole day
The loss is estimated at one million
dollars.
Adjoining buildings took fire from
the six story Showers building. in which
the fire originated. and which the fire.

hours.
The blaze spread across Capitol ave-

Masonic building, the flames leaping 10

AND BENEFIT SHOW IS BIC SUCCESS

and Ira Ware were entered for this, and
if anyone had a doubt about a copy be-
ing speedy it was removed after the
race.
The race was for distance of 2 II
miles, and the condition was. that after
every lap of the half mile track had
been negotiated, the contestants had to
change their saddles to another horse,
which was held in readiness. In this
way they had TO change four times.
Williams. before entering the police
service, must have had some associations
with cow brutes, for at every change he
was the first man off. He led the race
all the way, from the beginning o. TIE
first lap to almost the end of the last.
The little roam horse Henderson was
riding won the race for him, although
Henderson was only a few seconds be
hind Williams in changing his saddle
from one horse to the other
mount that did not want to be sad
died in a hurry spoiled Wares chances
OF winning.
SHOW Speed In Foot Race.
Patrolmen Hughes, Simpson, Langlois,
Crawford and Perez were the runners
in the free-for-all patrolmen's foot race,
which was won by Simpson, with Hughes
second and Crawford third.
Although it was 96 IN the shade, Kid
AcMinds and Albert Harold, two cop
pers handy with the gloves, stepped into
the ring which had been arranged IN
front of the grandstand and for six
rounds exchanged blows. Harry Ross
was referee and at the end of the six
rounds announced that there was no de
cisiOn.
Harold had a shade the best Of the
fight, but this may be accounted for be-
cause he was fresher than McAlinds,
having had the advantage of several
DAYS rest. while McAIinds was taken off
his beat Sunday and put in the ring.
One of the Comedy Stunts
It was while the prize fight was in
progress that Henderson appeared in his
uniform, which was conspicuous for the
huge badge pinned thereon. Henderson
feigned intoxication, and he did it realis-
tieallv. too. He carried a large green
club and a bottle, presumably filled
with water.
Henderson was endeavoring to nego-
tiate the whole width of the race track.
This was the signal for Mike Langlois
and Crawford TO become involved in a
fight. Henderson was on the job and
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1912-05-20

the manner in which he used his green
club made the crowd roar.
Just to demonstrate how the thing
was done, the patrol wagon was sum
mOned, and Stewart drying, arrived on
the scene. The Fighters" were hustled
inside, and with the gong changing they
were driven away.
The last event on the afternoon pro-
gram was the tug of war between the
day and night force The day men won.
The winners were: Letcher, Frank VIII
Hams, Hughes, Caplinger and Henderson.
The losing side was composed of Lee,
Simpson, Stewart, Langlois and Perez.
The Night Performances.
Those who attended the afternoon per
Torrance and did not return at night
missed the opportunity offered to meet
madame La Belle Fatima and madame
Maria FrijOles. These two were an in
tegral part of the Turkish band, and
manager Williams took some pains to
introduce them for the first time to an
II PasO audience Wayne Garner and
ZIP Carson, respectively, represented
those characters.
They also missed the big minstrel
show IN which Williams, in addition to
staring as an acrobat, gathered more
laurels for his character work as an old
MINSTREL man. The excellent singing of
the battery B, Sd artillery, quartet added
much to the enjoyment Of the occasion.
Following their rendition of popular
songs, and otherwise, the applause con
Ilnued until an encore was given. The
quartet was composed Of J. Price, j.
Meaney, j. Rose and C.. LOmbardv.
Appeared TO Be a Draw.
Kid Lee of Ell Paso and Kid Steele
OF Denver staged a fast six round bout
Nhlle Harry Ross as referee did not an
nounce a decision, the audience was of
the opinion that it was a draw.
The gray backs of New Mexico and
the Gllau bird, imported by Williams
from the SaltOn sea comprised the main
features OF the freak show
The Turkish band, which concluded
the evening program, was composed of
Harry Prince, the trap drummer at the
Wlgwam, and Ernest Williams.
While Williams was too busy and tired
Sunday night to figure out Just how
much m had been realized from the benefit,
the report was that $500 would be

PLANK FALLS; TWO
KILLED, 40 HURT
Sixty Persons Precipitated
Into Water, When Ac-
cident Happens.

Seattle, Wash, Nay 20.-Two persons
are known 10 have been drowned and
40 or more were injured yesterday
when the adjustable end Of a tenn
porary passenger gang plank at the
Colman dock dropped. precipitating 60
passengers into the water as they were
preparing to board the Sound steamer
Flyer for Tacoma
The dead:
Mrs. c. V Learned. Seattle; Carl
Bruder. I year old son OF Mr. and Mrs.
c. BrUder, Seattle.
Most of the injured were only slight
" bruised or cut BY striking against
piling or the hull Of the Flyer when
they fell into the water, and all viii
recover.
The Flyer had just discharged her
passengers from Tacoma and was pre-
pairing to load for the II o'clock re-
turn trip. The pier was crowded with
passengers who, in their eagerness 10
get aboard, were pressing persons on
the gang plank
A defective cog broke under the
weights Of the crowding passengers
and the shock Of the inch drop was
sufficient TO strip the cogs and let
the end Of the plank fall into the
water, the screaming passengers roll
ing and sliding down the steep in
cline into the water between the wharf
and the Flyer.
Frantic Persons Dot Water.
The water was dotted with frantic
persons struggling TO reach the boats
which were lowered from several near
by vessels.
The Flyer could not be moved be-
cause her whirling propellers would
have chopped the struggling persons
to pieces. and 1t was difficult for the
small boats to get those caught be-
tween the vessel and the pier.
1t is believed that everyone on the
gangWay when the accident happend
has been accounted for, but to make
certain that none went to the bottom
and was caught in the piling, divers
were ordered TO explore the spot thor
oughly-
No Bodies Found.
After working two hours the divers
reported that they found no bodies
at the bottom Of the slip and the
coroner is confident that all who fell
into the water have been accounted
for.
Newton Johns. a negro bootbIack.
leaped from the wharf when the acci-
dent happened, and saved several wom-
en-. When mayor George F. COtteriu
who hurried to the scene, heard OF
his conduct. he sought the youth and
complimented him warmly, much 10

busy polishing shoes.

Der company was with his wife, who
was drowned With their year old
father and son were fished out In
time to be resuscitated

Every Act a Feature at
Washington Park, Under
Walt Williams s Direction.

Sunday was "coppers" day at Wash
ington park. and the 1900 visitors who
attended the policeman's benefit show
which was pulled off at the park sun
day afternoon, and night, came away
convinced that the FINEST" IN Ell Paso
are on the lob as shOwmen as well as
being guardians of the peace.
The program arranged by Walter
Williams. the familiar figure on the
plaza beat. due to his professional ex-
perience gained in circuses and other
things. was performed on the minute As
soon as one stunt was finished, Williams
had the next performers ready and in
action, L. Van, the Snowman at the
park, announcing each.
First came the ball game between the
22d infantry and the InternatiOnals, in
which the soldiers walked away with
the game.
Following that Van announced the
free-fOr-all horse race. Frank Williams,
Ira Ware. Tom York, sergeant Lon Gar
ner. Charles Henderson, Sid Benson and
Tom Hughes, mounted, booted and
spurred. gallOped off on the 300 yard
dash Williams. Ware and York came
in in the order named.
Then Williams, mounted on a fine
black horse, appeared before the grand
stand and performed some acTObatic
stunts. The crowd felt like running TO
his assistance when, without any warn
ing, he turned a backward somersault
out of the saddle, landing squarely on his
feet. After performing in the saddle
Williams dismounted, and among other
things kicked the back of his head. He
used to do all these things with circuses
long ago. and while he has taken on
some flesh since that time, he showed
that he is vet in the acrobatic game.
The lean cOppers, Simpson and Stew
art. were brought out for a so yard
dash. Simpson got off first and won
easily.
Relay Race a Feature.
The feature of the afternoon, the re-
lay horse race, occupied the tracksafter
Stewart and Simpson had finished
with it.
