MANY WERE HORRIBLY MANGLED
Dozens of Victims Failed to Escape
Because They Thought the Alarm
Was for Fire Drill.

Binghampton, n. Y, July %
Forty girls are believed to have lost
their lives in a fire which destroy
ed the Freeman overall factory here
yesterday afternoon. The fire start
ed at 2:3O O'Clock, and had COM
pletely destroyed the building in
twenty minutes. One hundred and
twenty-five girls were in the factory
when the fire was discovered. The
police declared that at least forty
failed to escape.
Twelve girls were taken to the
hospital badly injured.
There were heart-rending scenes
when several girls clinging TO fire
escapes were swept by sheets of
flame or jumped from the factory
windows. Exactly how many were
penned inside was hard to determine
in the panic. The walls of the big
building fell at 2:50 o'clock.
At 3:45 p. m. two bodies were
seen lying on Division street cut
mpleJeiy IN TWO. OtherS could be
seen in the ruins. 1t is now thought
the number of lives lost will exceed
forty.
E. J. Lawrence, bookkeeper of the
company, said that he was working
in the Office when the first alarm
sounded. The flames were under
the front stairway. There also was
a rear stairway and fire escapes at
the south side of the building. Most
Of the women were employees in the
machine operating room on the
fourth floor. They made no attempt
] 10 hurry from the building at first,
thinking that the fire alarm was for
a fire drill.

MIR. WILMER Is AGAINST
THE MEASURE
A dispatch from Atlanta says:

A dispatch from Atlanta says:
The Senate committee on educa-
ton began today its rehearing of the
Searcy bill to require the reading of
the Bible in the public schools of
Georgia. Many ministers were pres
ent, some taking a stand for and
others against the measure. Carlisle
B. Haynes of the Georgia Religious
Liberty Association, and DR. c. B.
Wilmer, of st. Lukes church, spoke
against the measure. while Dr. A. A
Little and DR.. Dunbar Ogden, Pres
byterian ministers, spoke for it, but
it is thought the bill should be so
amended that the Bible would be
read without comment, and that the
children whose parents objected
might be excused from hearing it.
Shelby Myrick of Chatam presented
telegram from Joseph Rosenheim
of Savannah, presenting a protest
against the bill on behalf of the Jew
ish congregation of Mickve Israel"
Mr.. Wilmer is we'll remembered
in Ocala, where for a time he was
rector of Grace Episcopal church.

A new curtain must rise on a new
scene, a new idea must present it.
self, a new hope must be held out
to a waiting world,
A few years ago the idea, popular
.ly known as the "suffragette idea"
was presented and since has spread
in such alarming proportions that
even the small school boy can tell
you all about it.
Whatever may be said of it, it has
unveiled to the world a hope, at
least, of a change for the better, a
halt in the rapid race for social po-
sition among the fair sex, and has
offered atonement for the sins OF the
past.
On the great stage of the world,
they have again played the part of
Anthony and Cleopatra; but its form
is varied, it has been turned COM
pletely around. and we are permit
ted to gaze on the new scene.
Mrs. A. We'd with Mrs. B. as to
which could give the neatest and most
attractive party for the smallest

afternoon game parties, and each
agreed upon their honor after the
entertainments were over to tell
each other the actual cost. Each

Mrs. A. consulted a dozen cata-

paper napkins from the ten cent
store costing seventeen cents for
three dozen-they were very pretty
ones, too; she also found in the
same catalogue some very attractive
score cards, costing five cents for
three dozen, and also three nice
prizes, which she obtained for fif-
teen, thirteen and eleven cents re-
spectiYely, and also an additional
prize or souvenir for the lady who
furnished the music, without charge,
for fifteen cents. The tables she
borrowed from her neighbor, and
the cards-weIl, her husband played
too, so they were already there. She
gathered half a dozen grapefruit

ALL SINCE HAVE STRIvEN TO
INITIATE It
But the Following Tells How Two
Modern Society Queens Pulled OF
Gaudy Stunts for Very Little
Doodle.

That history repeats itself every
one agrees, but not until very re-
Gently was it realized that it could
do so in such varied forms, as to
still be recognized.
In the year 81 B. c. Cleopatra
and Mark Anthony We'd as to which
one could serve the most expensive
and elaborate banquet. Mark An
thony had apparently won, but the
beautiful queen, not to be outdone,
performed that wonderful feat, so
often told, of dissolving the price
less harvest moon pearl in a glass of
vinegar and drinking the contents.
Such was the story of long ago,
and since that famous example so
given to society from the one in
power, the world has raced to see
who could be the most extravagant
hostess; in that name millions have
been throw away by charitable peo-
poor and needy if they could have
afforded it. Millions have been
spent by Christian people who would
send the Bible to heather countries
if they could. Millions have been
spent which meant that innocent
babies must be turned from shelter
into a cruel world, untutored and
unlearned. Millions have been spent
whose acquisition was so dishonest
that the acquirers paid the penalty
in stripes, all following the noble
example given by the first society
leader, the immortal Cleopatra.
Such has been the story for nearly
two thousand years. But all stories
must have an ending as we'll as a
beginning; to the world, and to
those who follow progress, the cur
tains have been drawn, and the foot
lights for such eXtravagances have
been turned off forever; a new light
must burn, with an effulgence out
shining the purple light that glowed

BARRELS FOR
FAIR BATHERS
Half IA Score of September Morns in
One Indiana Greek Last
Week

Brazil, Ind, July 23.-Barrels are
being worn very straight and tight
this Summer along the banks Of Big
Walnut Greek, near here. There is
no drapery whatever, and the hoops
are on the outside.
The midsummer styles in barrels
recently made their appearance sud-
denly along Big Walnut Creek They
were first shown day after a bath
ing party in which ten of the pret-
tiset young social queens of Brazil
participated.
Big Walnut Greek is filled with
willow clumps. The party, prior to
bathing, filled the willows with lin
gerie and incidentally clothes. While
the girls filled the water the neigh
borhood filled with unknown parties
who took shoes and stockings and
the skirts and the-yes, and every
thing the girls had left on the bank.
When the girls came out of the
water they didn't come out. They
stayed in until the night was black
-mercifully black-then they went
home like a bevy of detected and
dripping September Morns." Next
day each fair bather received a mob
by, modish barrel, with the compli-
ments of some person. The present
possessors Of the clothes and things
are unknown, although some of the
bathers have their suspicious.

day at a conference of democratic
members of the house banking AMI

They will meet again next Monday

There is no disposition on the part
of any member of the banking AMI

Brunswick Gets Busy.

Brunswick, July dozens of tele-
grams were today fired into Senators
Bacon and Smith and Congressman
Walker, by Brunswick business men
and commercial organizations, enter
ing a strong protest against the ap-
pointment of E. R. Belcher, colored, as
deputy collector of customs at this
port, and who, after today will be en-
tirely in charge of the local office, I'M
der the reorganization of the customs
service, which places Brunswick in
the Savannah district, thus abolishing
the local office of collector of customs.
Tired of Negro Officials.
Just why Belcher was appointed to
this position, when there was a white
applicant who is eligible for the posi-
ton, is not clear to the people of this
city and very strong protest is being
made. 1t is pointed out that for fifteen
years the people of Brunswick have
been compelled to transact their bus
mess at the local custom house prin-
cipally through negro. Belcher
having occupied the position of deputy
collector for that length of time. Now
hat the office has been abolished, they
feel that democratic administration
should give them a white deputy AMI
every possible effort will be made 20
have one appointed.
viii Fight vigorously
The local office of collector of Gus
toms, which has been in existence for
over a hundred years, or to be exact,
since March 2, 1899, was today abolish
ed under the new arrangements and
Col. Henry T. Dunn who has occupied
the position of collector for so many
years retired from Office.
The local customs district is one OF
the oldest in existence and it has never
been changed in the least since its
creation. In the office up to today
were the collector a deputy collector
and inspector and one or two others.
Brunswick has not seriously pro-
tested against the Office being abolish
ed but the people are gong to vigo"-
ously oppose the appointment of 4
negro to the position of deputy col
lector and who will be in charge of so
important port.

Late in the afternoon Judge Sanborn

the naming of Louis C. Krauthoff, of

The court also directed him to re-
pert to it from time to time.
The plan for dissolving the Union

Attorney General McReynolds, with
the approval of President Wilson, has
agreed upon with officials of the
railroad and which was submitted yes
terday to the federal court here, al
lows until January l, 1916, for the
complete dissolution of the combina-
ton adjudged illegal by the supreme

All previous plans are superseded
by this latest one, which proposes that

100000 of its $126,OOO,0OO holdings in
the Southern Pacific for the Pennsyl-
vania railroads Erie holdings in the
Baltimore and Ohio-virtually al
