a Grand Rapids,
Mich, Fire
OVER A SCORE HURT,
AND SOME MISSING
The Fire Started in Building
Which Contained Hard
ware Store

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov. 29.-More
than score of spectators and dozen
firemen were burned or bruised and cut
by flying debris when a quantity OF
dynamite, powder and gasoline exploded
in burning building in the eastern bus
mess section of this city early to-day.
Several women and children were missed
after the explosion, and until the ruins
are cooled sufficiently to permit a search
it could not be learned. whether there
had been loss of life
More than 40 men, women and chill
dren occupied rooms in the second story
of the burned building and there was
hardware store beneath them. The force
of the explosion tore the structure to
bits and scattered the debris over four
city blocks.
The flames spread with great rapidity
to other buildings, and the occupants of
the upper floors of them were thrown
into panic. In the wild rush for safe
ty women and children We're trampled
upon and others who had tainted were
carried out by firemen. None had time
to dress, and those who escaped were
exposed to the cold and were drenehed
with rain.
The monetary loss probably will ex-
ceed 100000. The cause of the fire
has not been determined.

OBJECTIONABLE LITERATURE.
High Priest of Mazdaznan Cult Con
victed at Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 29--0toman Ear Adusht
Hanish, high priest of Mazdaznan and
leader of the Mazdazman cult of sun
worshippers, said to number about l4,00o
in different cities, was found guilty by
a federal jury here yesterday of send
ing Objectionable literature by express
in violation of the interstate commerce
laws. He may be sentenced to five
years imprisonment or be fined $1,000,
or both.
The verdict brands as unfit for cir
culation the textbook of the cult. The
book was read to the jury and almost
no other evidence was offered by either
side. The book prescribes sun baths and
herb remedies, but its striking feature.
and that objected to by the government,
was treatise on sex relations.
Hanish was trapped by Dana Angler,
postal Inspector, who wrote from
Brookfeld, Mo-, asking for copy of the
textbook, giving the fictitious name of
Julia B. Gardner" Hanish sent the
book by express to avoid conflict with
postal regulations.
Hanish is at liberty under his original
bond of $4,000. Hearing of motions and
sentence by Judge Mack will take place
on his return from New York next week.
The verdict was read to Judge Carpen-
ter.

FULL AGREEMENT
AT SCHENECTADY
Strike at General Electric Co.'s Plant to
Come to an End as Result of
Conference To-day.

Schenectady, N. ", Nov. 2a.--The
strike among the employees of the Gem
eral Electric company was settled to-
day, an agreement having been reached
by the conference shortly before IL
o'clock.
Early in the day there was general
feeling that the labor troubles would be
settled before nightfall, and as result
the city took on a holiday appearance.
This view was taken because of the
reports which leaked out from the meet
ings yesterday and last night between
Mayor Lunn, the company representa-
tives and the leaders OF the unions. II
was generally understood then that they
had agreed to the strikers returning to
work ON part time and the reinstate-
ment of the union leaders Frank Dujay
and Mabel Leslie, unless it WAS proven
that their work was poor Another
meeting was arranged to make the
final details to-day.

UNION CHIEFS IN IRISH CAPITAL.
Invade Enemy's Country in the Cam
paign Against Home Rule Bill.

Dublin, Nov. 29-The Unionist party
yesterday carried the war into the
enemy's territory when Andrew B. Law,
leader of the opposition in the House of
Commons; Sir Edward Carson, leader
of the Irish Unionists, and other prom
inent men arrived to deliver in the Irish
capital a series of speeches on home
rule.
In reply to the deputation which well
coined him, Mr.. Law reiterated that the
Unionists had opposed consistently and
completely the whole idea of the sepa-
ration of the United Kingdom, and in
sisted that the government must seek
the sanction of the people before at
tempting to make the change.
During speech in the afternoon be-
fore the Unionist association, Mr.. Law
said Premier Asquith's speech of the
preceding day seemed to him a com
plete acceptance of the orders of John
Redmond, leader of the Irish National
lists, for "full steam ahead" and if that
were so the difficulties of the Unionist
party were gone.
Suffragettes attempted to reach Mr..
Law as he was driving afterward to
the residence of Lord Iveagh They
bombarded him with pamphlets. Mrs.
Skeffington and Mrs. Connery, the lead
ders of the suffragettes of Dublin, were
arrested and charged with obstructing
the police.

Washington, d. c., Nov. 29.-I could
not accept the position of health com
missioner of New York City unless it
were offered me-" said DIR. Wiley, former
government pure food chief, last night in

sidering taking this place.

DIR. Wiley returned last night from his
Virginia farm where he spent Thanks
giving. He said he had received hundreds
of letters from influential friends in va
rious parts of the country, particularly
in New York, Philadelphia and Boston,
urging him to become a candidate for
the New York job.
Il am not candidate in any sense of
the word" the doctor said, because
am not hankering for job of that kind.
The only ground upon which would ac-
cept the position would be through a
sense OF public duty"
DIR. Wiley deprecated the idea of a
man being forced upon Mayor elect
Mitchell as member of his cabinet.
"He ought to be free to choose the man

consolidate with the East Barre g. Chel-
sea Railroad company" and by virtue
of the consolidation was empowered to
succeed to and have all rights, powers,
privileges and franchises of the old East
Barre & Chelsea road. When the act
came before the general assembly it was

S57,0OO,OOO DIAMOND
IMPORTATIONS
Highest Record Ever Known in United
States, According To Depart
ment of Commerce.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 29.-Diamond
importations into the United States
made their highest record in the calendar
wear 1918. The value of diamonds and
other precious stones imported during
the current year will approximate $57,-
100000, this being the first occasion on
which the sum has crossed the $50,000,000
line. Twenty years ago, according to
the official figures of the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce, depart
ment of commerce, the total imports
of diamonds and other precious stones
were but $ll 100000, in 1908 S2s,000,0 900,
and in 1918, approximately S57 100000,
this estimate being based upon the
known figures for the nine months end
ed with September, which are 80 per
cent in excess of the highest record here
tofore made. These totals, necessarily
include limitations of precious stones,
which now form about two per cent OF
the total, but were not separately shown
prior to 1912.

Ten Thousand Rounds Found Hidden
in Steamer.

New York, Nov. 29.-Ten thousand
rounds of rife and revolver ammuni-
ton were seized by customs inspectors
yesterday afternoon abroad the steamer
Seminole lying at her pier. The Semi
mole is bound for Haiti and San Domin-
90.
The confiscated ammunition was hid
den in many different parts of the yes
sell The Seminole's officers said they did
not know of its presence. They placed
the responsibility on members of the
ships crew.
The raid on the Seminole was made by
order of Nelson A. Henry, surveyor of
the port, after the ships manifest was
taken. This record failed to state that
the ammunition was on board in viola
tion of the customs laws and also of the
passenger laws, as the Seminole is a
passenger carrying vessel
Some of the ammunition, valued in
all at $500, was found under the coal
in the bunkers and some in the boilers of
the unused donkey engine and in mat
ting covered ventilators. In the coal
were discovered six automatic revol-
yers of latest design worth $50 each.
The customs authorities began an in
vestigation to find the persons respon-
sible for the shipment and for whom it
was designed. The ammunition was
taken to New Jersey to be destroyed
and the revolvers to the customs house.

NEAR END OF HUNTING.
Open Season Closes Monday Night, Ac-
cording To General Opinion.

Among the men who have set their
hearts on getting deer before the
curtain ON the 1918 season rings down
there has developed a considerable dis
cussion as to just when the season Off
cially closes. There are those who con-
tend that deer may be legally shot only
until o'clock this afternoon, while 9TH
ers argue that the statutory limitation
is fixed at 5 o'clock Monday afternoon.
A glance at section l3 of the fish and
game laws seems to dispose of the ques-
tion quite effectively. Under the cap
as follows: "Wild deer having horns not
less than three inches in length may be
captured or taken from November tenth
to December first after 5 a. m. and be-
fore 5 p. M, both dates inclusive, Sun
days excepted"
"Both dates inclusive" the statute
says, it will be noted. Therefore it may
be reasonably declared that hunters have
until o'clock Monday afternoon to pur-
sue their quarry. Authorities at city
hall and unofficial legal opinions gath
cred to-day unanimously confirm this
Interpretation.
Last nights snowfall had bolstered up
the waning hopes of unsuccessful hunt
ers and many who had given up the idea
of bringing down buck this year were
seen leaving for the woods this morning.
In the main, the season now closing has
been a discouraging one. 1t is not ex-
pected that the total number of deer
shot in 1913 will anywhere near approx
mate the totals of other years, when
the returns are all in. Proportionately,
only a few local hunters have brought
in any game this year.

A CENTRAL FIGURE
IN WILL CASE DEAD
William c. Russell Passed Away at Mel
rose, Mass, To-day, Leaving Two
Claimants To His Fathers
Estate.

Melrose, Mass, Nov William c.
Russell. son Of the late Daniel Russell
and one of the central figures in the
famous Russell win case, died to-day,
aged about SO years. He had supposed
himself the sole heir to the 100000 es-
tate of his father until about four years
ago when a man from Dickinson, n. Da.,
known as Dakota Dam" claimed por-
tion ON the allegation that he was the
long missing son of the testator, Daniel
Blake Russell.
Later man from Fresno, CAL, who
became known as Fresno Dam" ap-
peared and was recognized by the fam
lily as the missing heir. A few weeks
ago the courts for the second time de-
clared Dakota Dan" an impostor of
French Canadian parentage. An appeal
was taken and the case is still in the
courts.

HORSES SAVE DRIVERS LIFE.
Drag Keene Man from Front of Flying
Train--Wagon Is Demolished.

Keene, N. H., Nov. 29-Perley Champ
ney miraculously escaped being killed
last night when the "hyer" for Boston
struck the team he was driving at the
Island street crossing. The train was
within half mile of the station but
was going at a fast rate. The accident
occurred just after dark. Champney
was thrown against a telephone pole.
The wagon was completely demolished.
The horses were uninjured.
The team was owned by George f..
Newman, and Mr.. Champney had just
unloaded his lumber and about to re-
turn home. 1t was thought the driver
was watching switcher down in the
yard when the train coming from the
opposite direction struck the wagon.
The cowcatcher struck in front of the
rear wheels and tore the rear of the
wagon from the front wheels and car
ried it 100 yards down the track.
Champney clung TO the reins, and
when the impact came the horses jumped,
pulling him away from the front of the
engine. Champney received many bruis-
es, but none appear to be serious.

NO SPEECHES TO MAKE.
All President Has to Do Is to Watch

New York, Nov. 20.-President Wilson
and his party arrived here shortly before
7 last night, their train getting in more
than half an hour late. The presidents
visit is in response to the invitation to
attend the Army Navy football game
at the Polo grounds this afternoon. 1t
was the first time in recent weeks that
he has been asked to be present on any
public occasion that a qualifying sugges-
ton was not appended that speech by
him would be desirable. Consequently
Mr.. Wilson on this visit came for amuse-
ment alone. He will have nothing to
do except watch the football contest.
