OIL SHIP BURNS
A Flaming Torch IA Hours
After Fire Started.
Thousands of Gallons OF Ben
zine Untouched by Flames.

New York, Aug. 29.-F'ire swept the
petroleum carrying ship, BurgermeiSter
Hackman, on the Brooklyn water front
last night, destroying thousands of tins
of oil and leaving the vessel a shell
apparently ready to sink at her dock at
any moment.
The property loss was about $780,

The ships owners, a Hamburg con-
Germ, had chartered her to an oil COM
pany to carry 10000 tins of refined
oil to New Zealand. The vessel was to
sail Tuesday.
New York. Aug. 29.-The steamer
Burgernneister Hackman with 100000
gallons of crude oil and benzine in her
hold was still a flaming torch in the
Buttermilk channel this morning. ID
hours after her cargo had been fired
by a spark created by friction when
two tin cases struck violently last
night. The 5000 ton vessel had listed
Is feet to port at o'clock and the wa
ter was then within a few inches of
her deck.
A battery of three fire boats sur
rounded the craft and pumped water
on her all night. Notwithstanding, she
burned steadily. Blazing blocks of
wood, dislodged from her steel frame
fioated down the river, menacing other
craft.
Nine thousand gallons of benzine had
not been reached by the flames at 3
o'clock and fire fighters were hopeful
that she would sink before this should
explode. Thousands of persons lining
the water front were swept back by po-
lice reserves and a zone extending a
block back from the river was estab-
Hshed through which no spectators
We're permitted to pass.
The Buttermilk channel lies between
the crowoed South Brooklyn water
front and Governors Island, the latter
covered along the shore with army

He Returns From a FruitIeSS
Trip to Quebec.
Trial OF Roger Thompson POST
pOned to Sept. 3.

Sherbrooke, Aug. 29.-William Trav-
ers Jerome. chief of the New York
state forces working for the deporta-
ton of H. K. Thaw, having returned
here from Quebec early today after a
fruitless trip to see the premier and
attorney general, Sir Lomer Gouin,
whom he found absent, the status of
the states case in the Thaw matter re-
manned unchanged. Lawyers for both
sides gathered in police court for the
trial of 'Gentleman Roger" Thompson,
the chauffeur who drove ThaW from
Matteawan on the morning of his es-
cape. He is charged with aiding Thaw
to cross the Canadian border and in so
doing violating the immigration laws
by assisting an undesirable alien to en-
ter the Dominion. 4 don't think L
shall return to Quebec" said Mr.. Jer-
ONE. I'VE did not see the premier.
He was not in town. l cannot say now
what will be our next STEP"
Gentleman Roger" dressed neatly
in a gray suit. was ready to come into
court at 10 O'Clock. He had told his
lawyers that he would plead mot
guilty. and insist that he was a Cana
dian subject, having been born in To-
ronto, and therefore not subject to de-
portation.
Thaw evinced marked interest in the
Thompson case today as he thought it
might Involve q subsequent test as TO
his CThaw's) sanity. Jerome was one
of the first to appear in court. Thomp-
son came in at 1905 and held con-
ference with his lawyer. Louis S. Lau-
rent Thaw's lawyers, White and Nc
Keown, assisted him. The case of
Gentleman Roger is so interviewer
with Thaw's that the Thaw counsel
were anxious that no false step be
made.
Magistrate MuIvena did not take his
seat on the bench until nearly 10:30
M Campbell opened the case for the
prosecution, electing to try Thompson
on the charge of entering the Domin-
ion by stealth. sidetracking the Thaw
issue. Adjournment was taken until
Wednesday. Sept. 3. Meantime
Thompson was admitted to $500 bail.

returned-probably for a brief period
only. The minimum temperature this
morning-57-was the lowest point that
the quicksilver has touched since June
13. 1t was twenty-three degrees lower
than the minimum on Thursday morn

mercury was within a half dozen de-
grees of reaching point low enough
to make frost a possibility.
No rain has been reported in Kansas
in the last twenty-four hours and not
drop of moisture is scheduled for to-
night or Saturday. The Kaw river rose
one-tenth of "a foot in a day, the stage
now being 3.3 feet. Fair weather is
predicted, with a rise in temperature
in western and northern Kansas.

south and southeast portions of the
state were high on Thursday, the tenn
perature at Sedan being 10S degrees,
but the change in weather was noted in
all sections of Kansas this morning.

Their Apartments
As Result of Lighting a Good
Night Cigar.

New York, Aug. 29.-Thousands of
curios gathered in many lands and
stacked high in the apartments of
Hioplito Uriarte. for fifty years a Span
ish consul, fed a fire kindled in light
ing a cigar today and blocked the way
of the aged diplomatist and his wife
to safety. Uriarte was found dead
leaning across a window sill; his wife,
Marie Louise. mistOok a window lead
ing to an airshaft for one opening on
a fire escape and plunged four stories
to her death.
Uriarte was 50 years old. For four
teen years he was Spanish consul-gen-
eral in New York. His last service
was in Canada. During his travels for
his government he had accumulated
souvenirs and menentoes of every
country in which he had lived. They
crowded every nook and Granny of his
apartments and in the smoke and con-
fusion resulting from the fire effectual-
ly cut him off from escape.
The fire was kindled, it is believed,
when Uriarte lit a cigar which he in
tended to smoke before going to bed

Washington, Aug. 29.-Americans
in Mexico are needing President VIII

weeks hence there will be hardly
thousand of them left in the troubled
southern republic Although many
had refused to consider leaving before
the word came of the presidents $
urgent advice, hundreds have been
starting for home or abroad during
the past three weeks and it is esti-
mated that nearly 10000, or about as
many as are still in Mexico, have got
ten away.
Of those now preparing to leave

5000 will come out by the east coast

quer," according to Ell Diario today
but Federico Gamboa was able to
counter and to dominate him. In the
1St encounter the colossus of the
north was turned from its course dis
concerted. In the second encounter it
abandoned the field.
John Lind has come to Mexico to
assure the election of Victoriano

all intrigues have dissolved in front
of the diplomatic triumph we have
gained. There is not an honest Mex

tempts foolishly to exclude him from
the contest.
AS for the revolutionists' candi-

in advance precisely for the reason
that they appear as the candidates of
the American White House.
The article concludes by likening

American Bar Association
Plans Reform of Courts.
To Make Practice Uniform

Legislation by Congress Is De-
sired, for the Purpose
Of Giving Supreme Bench Su-
perintendency Over Rules.

all federal district courts for the pur-
pose of eventually making Uniform
the practice in all courts in the United
States. The aim is to eliminate delay
and reduce the expense of all litiga-
ton.
The method to be discussed will be
to obtain legislation from congress to
permit the supreme court OF the Unit
ed States of its own motion to reform
its law rules just as it already has its
equity rules and soon will make uni
form the admiralty and bankruptcy
rules. 1t also is hoped to obtain leg
islation to give the supreme court
Superintendency over the rules of
pleading and practice in all federal
and state courts. as is the method in
England and thus gradually make
uniform court procedure in every court
in this country.
A memorandum embodying the pro-
posed change prepared by w. r.
Hughes of the department of justice
is to be the basis for the reforms pro-
posed at the Montreal meeting at
which Attorney General McReyno1ds
will be present. 1t is understood that
the proposed changes have the en-
sociation. 1t was at the suggestion of
the uniform procedure committee of
the association that the discussion of
the subject was arranged.
