Through the explosion of a gasoline tank attached to range in the resi- dence at 2119 West Jefferson street, about o'clock yesterday afternoon, the building was so badly damaged that it's entire reconstruction will be made almost necessary. Incidental to the fire. pr. J. ONeiU. who occupied the house and who was alone in the build ing at the time. was quite overcome by smoke and his exertions in attempting to save the belongings of his wife and himself and was finally removed to the home of a neighbor close at hand where he was given every care possible.
 Mrs O'NeiH was absent from home at the time and the doctor had started the fire in the range. He went to an other room for a few minutes and upon his return to the kitchen was greeted by a flash of flame. The fire had progressed so far that it was impossible to enter the kitchen which was of light construction. The doctor calling for help brought several neighbors to his assistance and a large portion of the furniture was saved including a heavy piano.
 Tn the meantime a woman living just across the street was vainIy endeaVor- ing to find the number of the fire de partment in the telephone book Be coming desperate she secured the as sistance of another woman and the number was finally located. The de- partment when called made a quick run despite the fact that il is nearly one and three-quarter miles from the fire engine house to the scene of the blaze. Two lines of hose were laid and the firemen were just about to approach the rear of the house where the fire was the fiercest, when there was an other explosion and the hot water tank attached to the range was thrown through the side of the house. It had become overloaded from the blaze and blown up.
 The house belonged to Mrs. Craven, said to be a sister of Rev. sam Small and had been rented furnished to the O'NeilTs who had been occupying it but few days. E

 An exception to this rule will probably be found in the city water department section of the budget The city water department just now en- joys the distinction of being the one department which has revenues great CT than the usual running eXpendi- tures. For some time past the water department has been able not only to take care of its fixed charges but has been enabled to carry on no small amount of extension and repair work without calling on the taxpayers for the necessary funds.
 The presentation of the proposed budget must be made to the com mon council within the near future ii order that the tax rate may be fixed for collection this fall.

Harvester Trust Was Aid.

Omaha, Neb. - A variety of wit
nesses, dealers, farmers, newspaper
men, undertakers and general mer-
chandise merchants, all connected in
various ways with the sale or purchase
of harvesting machinery, were on the
stand in the defense of the Interna-
tlonal Harvester company in the gov
eminent suit against that company for
alleged violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. They came from Western
Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.
Of the witnesses called by the de-
tense, some had vigorously opposed
the company for some time after it's
organization. Among these was Theo-
dore Coffee, of Greenfield, Ia. He ad-
mltted on cross-examination, however,
that he had refused to handle Interna-
tonal goods for four years after the
merger, but at the end of that time
had Learned l could not conduct a
successful business without doing so. !"
The defense satisfied itself with in
PRODUCING evidence to show that since
Inc organization Of the international
harvester company, the farmer has
oeen benefited by reason of easy ac-
cess to repairs, improvement in har-
Vestlng machinery, little advance in
prices and general conditions.

DIR. Held REPORTS SUCCESS
Pittsburg Physician Says Wife
Shows Marked Improvement.

Pittsburg - DR.. Austin B. Held,
who was the first physician in Amer
lea to use the Friedman tuberculosis
serum, said when questioned regarding
the serum: 'There can be no further
doubt of the results achieved by the
serum in most Of the cases which l
have treated. The first person I treat
ed on my arrival home from Berlin
was my wife, and her improvement
since that day has been so marked as
to astound several of my fellow physi-
clans who have been watching her
case.
'All of the usual symptoms which
go with the disease have disappeared.
There is absence of fever, night
sweats have disappeared, her weight
is increasing and her appetite has i'm
proved. Although Mrs. Held has been
afflicted with tuberculosis four years,
ravages of the disease had not made
Roadway enough to prevent what be-
lieve will be complete cure.
"Her case, however. is only one of
many whom l have treated. With the
exception of few advanced cases, the
results have been gratifying"

TAFT is CONGRATULATED
House Refuses to Join With Senate
In Sending Message.

Olympia = The state senate passed
resolutions congratulating ex-Presi-
dent Taft on his successful admins
tration and extending to President
Wilson best wishes for success in his
term. The house refused to concur in
the message. The resolution to Taft
read:
con your retirement the senate of
Washington extends its greetings and
expresses its gratitude for the ability
with which you have conducted the
nations affairs. In your retirement
to private life it hopes that the coun-
try may have the benefit of your ex-
perience and wise counsel in the set
Element of great questions confronting
our people"
The message to President Wilson
reads:
"On your accession to the Presidency
the senate of Washington extends it's
hearty congratulations and expresses
its hope for the prosperity and happi-
ness of our common country under
your administration.
eve look forward with confidence
to the growth and development of the

SPECIAL SESSION
FOR TARIFF ONLY
currency Reform Bill to Wait
Regular Order.
President Wilson Will Use Depart
ment Chiefs Only to Sift APP
pIications for Positions.

Washington, D. president Will
on has settled deep enough in office
~ indicate pretty clearly some of the
limos that may be expected of him in
~ aoar future. He has made no
u r announcements of policy, but
bore have been a few developments
that seemed to show the trend of the
frst DAVIS of his administration.
The president told visitors that he
mos inclined to favor the plan of house
leaders to confne the special session
of congress to tariff revision.
He indicated that while he did not
look forward to the passage of cur
rencv reform measure at the special
session, such bill might be whipped
into shape in the house while the SEN
ate was wrestling with the tariff and
coud be brought up Immediately after
CONGRESS- convened in regular session
in December.
The President Endorsed the policy of
Democratic economy favored by Chair
man Fitzgerald, of the house appro-
nriations committee and other leaders.
His attention was called to the needs
of the passage of the sundry civil ap-
nropriation bill at the special session.
This bill was vetoed by ex-President
Taft because of its provision virtually
exempting labor unions and farmers
organizations from prosecution under
Il. Cboryo or, antitrust law
Friends familiar with the Presi-
dents attitude toward kindred subjects
declared that unless it could be shown
that the paragraph to which the eX-
President objected was not "class leg
islation" he would use his influence to
prevent such "a provision from being
inserted in the new bill.
Senators found that Mr.. Wilson is
observing the courtesies usually ex-
tended them. He called on several
senator's and asked if they would OBJ
ject to several appointments he expect
ed to make.
1t was pointed out on authority that
President Wilson does not intend to
turn over to his department chiefs the
appointment of Federal office holders,
particularly to important posts. His
order of Wednesday was for the pur-
pose of allowing department heads to
sift out the applications and present
him with one or more suitable candi-
dates. Virtually every case eventually
will reach the White House, even if
the appointees themselves are barred
in the preliminary stages.

Police Laughed at Women.

Washington, D. C.-Tales of indig-
mites and affronts from the crowds
and Indifference and laughing COM
ments from the police were recounted
before the senate committee investi-
eating the alleged lack of protection
given the great suffrage pageant of
March 3.
Women prominent in National af-
fairs and in suffrage councils told of
their harassed progress through surg
ing crowds of men and boys, whom the
police, they say, made little effort to
hold back.
Their stories as to the general atti-
tude of the police were Endorsed by
Rear-Admiral Van Reypen, retired,
and George F. Bowerman, librarian of
the Carnegie library of Washington,
who appeared as witnesses against the
police department.

MOrOs Attacking JOlO.

Manila-The town of Jolo has un-
dergone incessant attack by the Moros
for the last two weeks. Details of
the operations are meager, as a rigid
censorship is in force. That the fight
ing has been serious is obvious from
the arrival here Wednesday of 81
wounded Americans.
The Moros, it is reported, continue
flinging taunts at the defenders OF the
town, calling on them to "come out
and fight in American fashion and not
like pigs" The troops are chaflng
greatly at their inaction.

Washington boundary question out of
the issue four separate times, the SEN
ate of the Washington legislature
passed, 20 to 6, the bill appropriating
$50O,00O for this states share of the

tant road bill enacted in this state in
many years being put through both
houses and signed by both presiding

approval in less than an hour.
AS to the governor, it is not known
positively what his stand will be, but
it is drought he will o. K. the meas

wants. If he opposes it he will not
have the Democrats behind him.

$1,000, 900 in 1913 and $1,000, 900
each year thereafter. The present
annual levy is $500, 900 for this fund.
The increase for 1913 over the pres
ent levy is $1,000, 900, and for each
year thereafter $780, 900. This bill is

FRIEDMAN CALLED FAKIR
Tries New Serum Only On Patients
Who We're Improving.

New York-The first demonstration
in America of DR.. Friedmann's treat
ment, which the visiting Berlin physi-
clan declared is cure for tuberculo-
Sis, was given by DR.. friedman him
self in the presence of physicians rep
resenting the city, the state, and the
stats of hospitals of several cities.
Three patients, two men and wo-
man, were selected by DR.. friedman
from so tuberculosis sufferers gath
cred from all parts of the city, all
hopeful that they would receive treat
ment. The woman had been ill three
years. Hers is case of the disease
at the knee and was the most serious
of the three chosen. The two men
have tuberculosis of the lungs. Their
cases are not beyond the incipient
stage, according to the authorities of
the Peoples hospital, the institution
where the demonstration was held.
Each of the men patients has been
showing improvement and gaining
weight since beginning, several
months ago, the best recognized tuber-
culosis treatment of the day, it was
said.
Physicians who were present brought
forward dozen persons suffering with
the disease in all it's stages. The med
ical history of each was available for
DR.. Friedmann's use. Statistics had
been prepared at his request. The
Berlin physician declined to treat any
of these cases, however, but made his
own selection.
Before the operation, DR.. julius
Broder, physician-in-chief of the hos
pital, denounced DR.. Friedman as
"fakir." This denunciation followed
the announcement that DR.. Friedman
had refused to administer his serum
to the IL patients chosen by the other
doctors. DR.. Broder said the German
had found objections to every one of
them.
''Dr. Friedman should be run out
of the country" declared DR.. Broder.
"He is a fakir. His serum is no
good at all. He wants to try it on
healthy people. had dozen incip-
lent cases with full history of each
case, but he wouldn't try it on one of
them."
