PRINCIPAL OWNER OF BURNED
FACTORY TELLS CANDIDLY
WHAT HE KNOWS.

BINGHAMTCN. N. Y, July 25.-
Reed b. Freeman. stockholder. d.
rector. president and general man
ager OF the Binghamton Clothing
company. was principal witness in
the second day OF the coroner's In
quest into the fire which destroyed
his building and cost the lives of
about forty people. He waived i'm
munity and testified freely. Freeman
admitted that the only Are protection
provided for in his factory were pals
of water.
He said ne never read the labor
law and pleaded ignorance OF sec
ton sac OF chapter 1874. which spe-
cifically provided. "all waste mate
rtals. cuttings and rubbish shall he
entirely removed from factory
building at least once in each day"
He testified, as did other witnesses.
that cuttings OF cotton and wooden
cloths were sent to the cellar In
chutes. where they were received,
bagged and stored for weeks at a
time before being disposed OF. This
admission. considered Of great I'M
portance. as considerable of today's
testimony. tends to show that the
fire did not originate on the shelf
between the frst and second floors
and that It may have started in the
cellar and SO have been directly the
cause of the death of Engineer Scher-
merhorn.
In the event Of fire destroying the
single stair case between the third
and fourth floor. he said he thought
the eighty girls on the fourth floor
could have escaped by means Of the
fire escape and the fire department
ladders and he had never examined
into the merits OF fireproof parti-
tons or walls for the staircases.
The testimony Of Reed b, Freeman
and Frank Freeman, cutter, no rela-
lions. that the fire did not originate
on shelf between the first and second
floors but apparently came from
flooring under the shelf. has entirely
changed the hypothesis that a care
1essly thrown match or lighted cigar
cite was the cause OF the fire and the
line or questioning now being asked.
seem to indicate that the district at
torney Ia OF the impression that It
started in bags Of cuttings in cellar.

The opinion among the members

that 1t would be better to wait for

WASHINGTON, July 25.--At a
meeting today OF the Democratic
members OF the house committee on
banking and currency, motion that
the administration banking and cur
rency bill be transferred from the
committee to the party caucus as sug-
gested by the president was defeated
by an almost overwhelming vote.
Today's meetinging OF the Democra-
tic members of the house committee
was the most dtsorderly that has been
held since the administration bill was
taken up for consideration.
There is a supicion In some quar-
ters that influences in the senate have
something to do with the condition
OF affairs in the house committee. De-
spite efforts that have been made TO
create a contrary impression many
senate Democrats are unalterably OPP
posed 10 banking legislation at this
time.
Wholesome discussion" in the
house committee was begun today
when Representative Wingo, OF Ar
kansas, fresh from a conference with
the president. moved that the bill be
reported to the house forthwith. This
was bowied down, whereupon Mr..
wingo made another motion that the
bill be taken up In the party eau

CITY, VA. July 25.-Two bodies OF
foot cavalry. the one marching from
the north and the other from the
south, met just outside Basic City this
morning and engaged In tho bloodtest
conflict OF the present war.
The men Of both sides went into the
battle singing. Hail. hail. the gang q

was soon drowned In the din Of battle,

engagement from the hilisides

Fine Day For Fighting.
The day could not have been better
nor the staging more admirable. After
marching three mlles from opposite
direction, the two forces met near a
farm house Just outside the little
mountain borough. where the hills run
north was sighted by the advance
guard OF the force from the south just
as It took cover In . cornneld. and the
firing began. The main bodies came
up and the firing became general. The
men flung themselves down behind
bushes, telegraph poles, fences and
any other shelter provided by nature
or by man. charging for cover across
open fields with all the excitement and
fury Of men engaged in actuAf con-
fict. The long grass was wet from the
heavy dew. and the roadside was illed
with puddles OF water. but that had
no deterrent effect ON ms MEN. They
went at each other like veterans. and
the guns were heated to the blisterins
point. All the village turned out to
watch the fight. and incoming farmers
drew up their wagons on the roadside
to cheer the soldiers a. they charged.
The delighted shrieks Of admiring wo-
men. mingled with the crackle Of the
rifles and an occasional rebel yell. Az
suredly here was all the gay panoply OF
war. though without bleeding corpsea

Small Fire in Town.

Shortly before $50 last evening, the
cry Of 'sFirep was heard on our
streets. and the flames were seen
bursting from the roof of Stuart
Langill's home, located on the corner
of Spruce and Main SITS. A large crowd
speedily collected, and after ascer-
tanning that none of the family were
inside the burning building, all being
away for the evening, began saving
the household goods.
The Eagle River Fire department
arrived promptly and almost instantly
had the fire under control. The house
hold goods being saved, the loss is not
extensive, fully covered by insurance.
We have seen tire-tighting under yari-

block, with dozen engines playing
upon it, to the spectacular Playground
