Boston. Dec. 3.-Twenty-seven men
were killed in a fire which swept
through the upper floors OF the Ar
cadia hotel, lodging house in. the
south end early today. Others are
missing. Scores were taken to hos
pitals suffering from burns and in
turies received in jumping from win
dows.
Nearly all the bodies are SO mutt
possible. The victims were men in
crowded hunks on the top floor of
the fye-story brick building and in
the small rooms on the fourth floor,
they were helpless. When the men
were aroused the stairways were in
flames and there was a mad rush for
fire escapes at the rear. Practically
all the men were naked.
Many we're rescued by the firemen
and police Some escaped by walking
a shaky plank stretched to- an ad-
joining building or by jumping across
an alley to neighboring roofs.
The property loss is only $25, 900.
The Arcadia was at Washington and
Laconia streets. The lower floors were
occupied by stores.
The fire apparently started in a hall
way closet on the street floor. The
flames swept UP the wooden stairways
and burned through the roof. Accord

SPECIAL, TO THE JOURNAL.

SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL
Tallahassee, Dec. S.-Attorney- Cen
eral West in appealing the coupon
law case to the supreme court of
the United States is doing so because
he believes the state should not sur
render a right to the federal courts
without protest and in allowing the
decision to go unquestioned it would
place the state of Florida in the at
titude of submitting without question
to the federal courts stepping in and
multiplying its statutes, and in this
case before the state courts had
passed upon it. General West has
given out the following statement:
81 am not appealing the coupon case
because there appears any desire on
the part of the people of the state
that the statute be upheld. In fact
it seems to be generally regarded as
unfortunate legislation in several re-
spectS
but there is a question of import
ance to the people Of this state in
volved in the case.
WILL NOT SUBMIT.
1T is whether or not we should
submit. without question. to the fed
eral courts enjoining officers of the
state from the enforcement of a state
statute and, in, doing so, 20 wipe the
statute off the books
tThe order made in the case en-
joins the tax collectors from enforcing
collection of the license tax imposed
by the statute and also enioins all the
prosecuting offices. from prosecuting
any person carrying on the business
upon which the license is imposed, in
case of failure on the part of such
person 20 pay the license tax.
when the federal courts enjoin the
prosecuting officers of state from
the enforcement CT a statute OF this
kind. they just as effectually enjoin
the state courts themselves as if they
had made the judges parties defend
ant and issued an order enjoining
them from trying persons charged
with violating this law.
DOUBT JURISDICTION.
'Io ny opinion. it was never in
tended that the federal courts should
have or exercise such power. I do
not believe that any such jurisdiction
is vested in them, and as long as
am attorney general OF this state, this
will not be conceded by the state until
affirmed by the highest court to which
the question may be submitted.
'.The prosecuting officers Of the state
have nothing to do with the collection
OF the tax imposed by the statute.
From their standpoint, it is purely a
statute. II they are to be en-

Senator Ashurst did not make pub

make the protest because California is
