Observation-Disclosures $4,000.

Special to Times-Repubiican.
Sioux City. April 30.-The main
building OF Morningside College is in
ruins as the result of a fire Of unknown
origin last night. The loss will amount
to 100000, with $4,000 insurance. The
building will be rebuilt Immediately and
it is probable that two buildings will
be erected to replace the one destroyed.
Dean Sidney L. Chandler today at
tributed the loss of the building to
lack of water pressure.
He said there was no excuse for the
loss Of the building as the first flames
were very small and small garden
hos> would have put out all the fire.
When the hose was first strung to the
roof of the building not drop of water
would flow from the nozzle. The walls
remained standing tho the heat was so
great that they will be useless in re-
building.
The building was erected in 1910 at
a cost OF $4,000, not including the
foundation and basement.
Nothing was saved other than few
books secured by students who formed
chain gangs and rushed into the burn
ing building.
The origin OF the fire is unknown.
Morningsde College has been closed
indefinitely.

The interchange messages between
the Titanic and the Carpathia were de-
tailed again by Bride. He said the
Carpathia was the first to announce
it's position and the beginning Of its
rush to the rescue. Phillips, said
Bride, figured that the Frankfurt was
