Cafumsf. Dec. .25.-The entire con-
per mining district is today stunned
over the disaster last night, which
cost the lives of at least seventy-one
persons. most of them children. in a
panic following the false alarm Of fire
during the Christmas exercises ar
ranged by the woman's auxiliary Of
the Western Federation of Miners.
Nearly three score strikers homes
have been desolated.
All during the night hundreds of
persons gathered in and about the
city hall and the undertaking estAb-
Hshments where the bodies had been
taken. 1t was not until late this
morning that the work of preparing
the bodies for burial had been COM
pIeted. The bodies of a woman. a
fed. The authorities are of the opin-
ion that all of the dead have been ac-
counted for.
Tomorrow an inquest will be held to
investigate the disaster. 1t seems 10
be well established that the alarm was
raised by q man who came upstairs:
opened the door of the hall and shouted
s.Fire." Witnesses describe him as be-
ing poorly dressed. He wore a bearo.
IN spite OF all the efforts Of the author
tiles he has not yet been found. FIRE
men and policemen were unable 20
Ladders were raised to the second floor
and firemen began dragging women
and children from a heap OF humanity
which packed the stairway. Other per-
sons were injured in their mad scram-
BILE toward the single doorway leading
to the street. So closely did the bodies
pack the stairway that entrance by this
means was impossible. Other rescuers.
, however, made their way into the nall
by means of a small fire escape at the
rear Of the building.
Heroic Reecues.
Many instances of heroic rescues
are being told today. One boy .thir-
teen years old carried a little compan-
ion down q ladder to safety. He start
ed back for another boy whom he had
seen trampled up.n but firemen pre-
vented him from again entering the
hall.
A woman and her little daughter
were among those pushed down the
stairs by the crowd. Both OF them
were killed. A son OF this woman
managed to fight his way out of the
throng and was not injured
Most Of the men in attendance at the
entertainment acted bravely. The men,
however, were in great minority. One
man who sought to stay the rush OF the
crowd was crushed to death. Little chill
dren were the first to suffer. They could
and dozens OF them were trampled to
death.
It was only when persons from the out
side fought their way into the hall that
the panic was checked
Bodies OF some OF those killed were
at once carried away by fathers and
mothers. But later these were taken to
the city hall for better Identification

Miller Lectures
on Jesus Trial

Hon. n. C. Miller lectured at the
Presbyterian church last evening on
the trial of Jesus from the standpoint
of lawyer, He'proved by comparing
the Biblical record with the Hebrew
law that the conduct of the case by
the great Sanhedrim was in direct
contravention to the Jewish statutes
in many ways, and that. viewed en-
tirely from an attorneys standpoint,
the proceeding was BADLY Illegal.
The Jewish law provided that all
trials for capital offenses should be
held in the daytime, while the trial
of Jesus was at night Mr.. Miller
also pointed out that the court show
ed its own prejudice by searching for
witnesses to prove the case against
the defendant Mr.. Miller held that
there was no trial before plate but
that the Roman ruler merely held n
private investigation of the cases be-
fore turning the accused Christ over
to his executioners.
A large number of members of the
local bar were present at the lecture.
The address was keenly interesting
to all who attended.

Gentlemen:-Aso one of your pat
rons and subscribers we wish to call
your attention to news item in
your publication of the 2nd inst,
which refers to our association and
the North American Fruit Exchange,
this exchange, you state, to market
"all the fruits" of this organization,
which statement is an error. We
have not in any year of the history
OF our association made such contract
with any concern, having handled
ourselves direct from the Palisade Of
flee of the association the greater
part of our fruits, as, for instance,
last year, more than so per cent of
our shipments were sold and manipu-
lated from this point without the aid
of our eastern agents, and the COM
ing year we shall sell a still greater
portion of cur shipments with their
aid.
1t is true that we have a working
agreement with the North American
Fruit Exchange and their system of
brokers, whereby they take OUR sur
plus in some restricted districts of
the eastern states in case we are I'M
able in an emergency to manipulate
the entire crop from our office; but
even in such cases as this we have
absolute control OF our cars, their
sale, the price to be sold for and
final disposition.
We thought to call your attention
to this error, and asl, your kindness
in making correction, for it most GER
tainly would be an Injustice to us
and our numerous other agents
throughout the states. as well as to
our growers, for the matter to stand
as indicated in your Mayo issue.
We thank you kindly in advance
fer taking care of this for us, and
beg to remain

A prominent lady of Fruitvale sug-
gests that our high school graduates
on their commencement occasions
wear gowns and caps owned by the
school beard and rented each year to
graduates. Those of us who pay tu-
ition and also taxes on property in
district No. ! find it an overstrain to
an injustice, and our request to the
city school board to have said taxes
apply to our tuition fee was turned
down by the city attorney on the
ground that, if granted, our next
move might be to want rebate of
taxes, which, of course. is what we
have always wanted; but, not being
railroad syndicate, we may have to
wait while. Most of us cannot
lately find cash to pay interest on
our mortgages, and to buy gradu-

fusion not easily realized by those
