Big fire Sweeps
several BILLINGS
Fire Of Unknown Origin Burns Out
Two Business Houses and Two
Residences on N. Main St.
CAME NEAR BEING LARGER.

Last Friday night, just before
midnight, the fire alarm whistle
called the fire fighters from their
downy beds of ease, to fight a
stubborn blaze which had broken
out in the Pierce produce brick
building on north Main street.
The building was occupied by G.
r. Newcom, Grocery and Pro-
duce dealer on the ground floor
andsValentine Threlkeld's color
ed barber shop up stairs, also the
colored Lodge and sleeping
rooms. Opinions differ as to
where the fire started, some say
it originated up stairs. others
downstairs. The produce build
ing was soon a mass of flames
and quickly Quilted and the
flames leaped to the large frame
stable owned by Pierce & Son and
occupied by Eskew Bros. and
extended the entire length Of the
block on the south and to John
3. Grissom's residence on the
north. both Of which were quick
ly devoured. The fire then
seized for its prey McConnells
frame building on the south and
Seldom Hughes house on the
north occupied by S. S. Woodson
and both were soon reduced to
ashes. The grocery stock of Q.
r. Newcom and, in fact, all the
contents of the brick produce
house were lost, but all the live
stock and harness. and most OF
the feed and vehicles in the sta
BILE were saved. The people
turned out well and helped the
poor sufferers save their house
hold goods, and but little furni-
ture was lost. A telephone pole
which burned down came near
striking City Marshal Lloyd and
had it done so he would have
been instantly killed. He dodg-
ed sufficiently to miss the pole
but the cross arm hit his leg, al
most breaking breaking the bone
and he was scratched considera-
bly, by the wires. He was assist
ed to an empty buggy standing
near and two toWnsmen grasped
the shafts and drew him to his
home where he has since been
confined to mis- bed and where his
physicians say he must remain
for ten days longer. TIL o S.
Mcconnell, the merchant, receiv-
ed severe cut over his eye and
there were several others who
narrowly escaped injury. Fred
Hughes, colored, came near be-
ing roasted alive in his bed.
Before the carnival of the fire
was checked the money loss was
heavy; Pierce & Son, stable,
$4,000, insurance, $1,000. j. p.
Pierce, produce house. $4,000. in
surance, $4,000. j. B. Grissom.
residence, $500, insurance 5000.
Seldom Hughes, residence, 5000,
insurance, $500. w. T. McCon-
nell store room, no insurance.
C. r. Newcom, loss on stock and
fixtures. $4,000, insurance $500.
The Marion Electric Light &
Ice Co.. suffered the loss of much
service wire, several poles and
other items. AS soon as the
wires burned into, the plant was
closed down until the section in
volved could be cut out. after
which service was resumed in all
other parts of the city, with an
intermission of only one hour.
AS soon as material could be
hauled OPP from the company'sI
depot the repairs were rushed
and completed in IL hours from

OWNERS SAY THEY WILL GRANT
A SMALL INCREASE IN WAGES
TO AVOID STRIKE

Cleveland, Ohio, March 29.-As a
means of preventing a strike in the
bituminous coal fields the miners pro
posed to the operators today to aban-
don all original union demands and
to ask only for an increase of five
cents a ton over the present scale
and for five hours on Saturdays in
stead of eight. The operators will ar
que on the proposition with a pros
pect that an acceptance or rejection
will be reached before night. The
miners proposal was made at con-
ference today in final effort to fix
new two-year wage scale to take
effect April and thus prevent sus-
pension or possibly a strike.

CROKER COUNSELS
PARTY HARMONY
SAYS If DEMOCRATS GET INTO A
ROW TAFT SURE WILL
BEAT 'EM.

New York, March 29.--"Get togeth.
err" is Richard Croker's advice to ma.
tional democratic leaders, in state
ment on the political situation given
out here following his arrival from
Palm Beach, where he spent the win
ter. He will sail for Europe next
week. His statement says in part:
"The democratic outlook depends
very much on whether the leaders
adopt a harmonious policy. The fu
ture is full of uncertainty when you
consider the various factions that arc
working against one another, to the
harm of the party. We never can tell
what these factions may do. no mat
ter how fair prospects may seem tcr
success. Something may happen in
a day that will ruin all.
81 can say one thing. that unless
the democrats change their present
methods and. all work together. Presi.
dent Taft will defeat them. This is
40 time for disagreement and digt
sions. :

New York. March 29.-The prices
of carpetings and rugs are likely to

'MADERO GIVES PERMISSION
PRESIDENT OF SISTER REPUBLIC
REALIZES DANGER TO
FOREIGNERS.
CANNOT PROTECT THEM WELL
FEARS TROUBLE IN CITY OF
MEXICO If TROOPS ARE DEs-
PATCHED TO FRONT.

Washington, March 29.-Acting
Secretary of State Wilson today con
firmed report from Mexico City that
all dependable Americans were to be
armed for their own defense and 9TH
er foreign governments were to take
like safeguards. 1t was announced
that Ambassador Wilson would distri-
butte to the Americans the 1000 army
rifles and revolvers now en- route.
The Mexican government counten-
ances the arming of foreigners.
President Taft waived the recent
neutrality proclamation in the case
of a shipment of arms which .ert New
York yesterday. 1t rs understood the
Mexican government would not assess
duties against these arms or against
those being shipped from European
nations for the use of their subjects.
Some of the details of a recent
meeting of Americans in Mexico City
to formulate plans for self protection
were given out today. 1t was pro-
posed that all Americans should be
armed. The proposition was submit
ted to President Madero and he ac-
quiesced and admitted it to be a nee
essary precaution against a rough ele-
ment in Mexico City which would not
hesitate to take advantage of the dis
patch of government troops from the
capital.
According to reports to the state
department, unorganized roDber gangs
in Durango have taken encourage
ment from the su, cesses of Orozco
in Chihuahua and it is feared they
will become unmanageable should the
federals in that state be withdrawn
for duty in other sections.
The rifles shipped from New York
are the 80 caliber Krag-Jorgensen
bagazine guns which are no longer
used by the army. One million rounds
of ammunition accompanied the ship
ment. While the guns are the prop
erty of the army ordnance department
and loaned to the state department
for use in the Mexican capital. any
one receiving rifle there may pur-
chase it for $6.

AnthracIte situation Better

New York, March 29.-The anthra-
cite coal operators are not inclined to
reject absolutely demand for small
increase in wages in the opinion ex-
pressed today by a person authorized
to speak for one of the leading coal
operators. He also said the operators
are ready to meet the miners and re-
sumo negotiations and would well
come any efforts looking towards the
avoidance of a strike.
The demand for a 20 per cent in.
crease, however, never will be grant,
ed, he said and as the miners declin-
ed to submit a compromise proposi-
tion, the consideration of smaller
increase had not come before the
operators. He added that the miners
had shown unwillingness to compro-
mise on small increase and in view
of this any further overtures should
come from the miners.
IF the miners should ask for a
small increase, would they get it?" he
was asked.
In my opinion they would"
The statement reiterated by the
operators in the anthracite region that
they are ready and willing to grant
an immediate hearing when the mine
workers should desire to communicate
with them, may result in another con-
ference looking to settlement of the
wage scale and other questions. A
suspension of work, however, on April
/ will be regarded today by operators
as practically certain. President Taft
is said to be keeping in close touch
with the situation in both the hard
and soft coal districts through Com
missioner of Labor Charles P. Neill,
who is comforting with the operators
and miners at Cleveland.
