CHICAGO HOSTELRY
BURNS TO GROUND
GUESTS AND EMPLOYEES OF THE
TRANSIT HOUSE HAVE MAR
ROW ESCAPES

Chicago, Jan. 5.-The Transit
House at the Union stock yards is
burning. The flames started while
the hotel, which is gathering
place for stockmen from all parts Of
the country, was crowded with guests
1t is reported that all the occupants
escaped without injury.
A number OF girls in the servants
quarters on the top floor of the burn
ing building were trapped. Firemen
who raised ladders rescued some Of
the women but were said to have been
driven back by the flames before all
had been carried to safety. Later it
was declared all escaped.
The intense cold hampered the fire-
men as several hydrants were frozen
and for a time it was impossible for
the fire fighters to send streams to
the sixth floor, where the sleeping
quarters of the employees are located.
The fire started in the kitchen and
the crowded dining room soon was
filled with smoke, causing a stampede
OF guests.
Many of the guests had exciting
escapes. A live stock commissian
man and his wife, who escaped from
their room thinly clad, were so be-
numbed by the cold that they could
not descend the fire escape and were
carried to the ground by the firemen.
| At 2 o'clock the firemen asserted
that the flames were under control.
Lack of water in sufficient quantities
threatened to give the flames another
start and more engines were sum
moned. The reinforcements directed
their attention to preventing the
flames from spreading to adjoinlna
buildings. It was estimated the loss
would reach $4,000.

Redding, CAL, Jan. 5.-The mail car
of the Oregon Express on the South
ern Pacific was robbed early today
of all eastern registered mail by two
unmasked men. Three mail clerks
were bound and gagged by the rob-
bers, who entered the mail car while
the train was between Red Bluff aud
Redding. The train pulled into Rei-
ding at $40 O'Clock a. M, and the
robbers, laden with their loot dropped
ofe and escaped.
The train was northbound and lef.
San Francisco at $3.50 last night.
When it stopped at Red Bluff, 35
miles south of this city, early today,
mail sacks were thrown out and oth.
ers taken on. One Of the three mali
clerks was about to leave the car
when the two bandits showed past
him into the mail car and closed the
door.
What's up?" exclaimed Charles ].
Rhein, one of the clerks.
This is a hold up" responded one
Of the men, covering the trio with a
revolver. Rhein and Robert b. War
ner, and their assistant were bound
and gagged by the second bandit.
When the train reached Cotton
wood, II miles north Of Red Bluff, the
bandits acted as clerks in exchanging
mail without arousing suspicion. AT
Anderson, five miles further on, they
repeated the performance. When the
George Westlake, the local clerk, was
train stopped at Redding at 6:4O
waiting to receive the mail. The BAN
dts threw open the doors on each
side of the car and walked off in op-

they were regular mail clerks. He
threw a sack into the car and was
surprised that no one received it. A
moment later he heard feeble cry
and discovered the plight of the
clerks. Mail sacks had been piled on
them, but Rhein had managed to
loosen his gags and give the warning.
Strewn over the floor were the wrap
prings of hundreds of registered mail
packages. Every sack of registered
mail had been looted.

WILL REVOLT.

New York, Jan. 5.-Colonel Theo-
dore Roosevelt discussed Judges and
Progress" in an editorial in the cur
rent issue of The Outlook.
Il believe the courts have rendered
the people incalculable service" he
said. 81 hold the attitude of our peo-
pie toward them should be one of ap-
probation and respect, but not SER
Witty.
II most emphaticany believe we
have been wise in giving great power
to judges. But I also firmly believe
that, like other power, this power
can be abused, and 1T is a power
which the people merely temporarily
have alienated. Used cautiously and
moderately and only in the clearest
cases, as has been done by our great
est judges from the day of Marshall
to the present day, it is fraught with
utmost good to the body polite. Used
recklessly, where a case Is so doubt
full that judges may be divided nearly
equally, as in recent years, it results
in great evil. I am speaking of a
Judge. when, by virtue of his POSITION.
he declares the people as d whole
have. or have not, the right to carry
out a given policy.
In the past 25 years the court in
New York, helped, once or twice, by
the supreme court of the United
States, has thrown what at times,
proved well nigh, or altogether insur-
mountable obstacles in the paths of
needed social reform.
'I hold, not only that courts in
these matters have usurped or exer-
cised in wholly wrong fashion, the
power properly and clearly abiding in
the people, but that they have thus
strained to the utmost, in my opinion,
violated, the constitution in order to
sustain do-nothing philosophy which
everywhere has completely broken
down when applied to actual condi-
tions of modern life.
| "It is, I believe, an advantage to
have fixed in the court power to state
that legislative act is unconstitu-
tional; but only provided that powt
is exercised with the greatest wisdom
and self restraint. If courts continue
to use it with the recklessness, often
shown in the past, it is almost newt
able that efforts will be made to
amend or abolish it.
81 am sure ultimately the people
must, and will dictate as to all con
ditions which shall obtain in tene
ment houses, factories, mines, rail
ways for preserving men, women and
children in health, life and limb.
