Register Burned and Exact Number
of Killed May Never Be Known.
Monetary Loss May Reach
Total of $25O,OOO.

OMAHA, Neb., February 2S.-Loss Of
life now estimated at fifteen. resulted
from a fire which destroyed the Dewey
Hotel second-class hostelry occupying
q three-story building at 18th and Far
mum streets early today. Three hours
after the fire was discovered 1t was pro-
nounced under control. 1t was confined
to the building where it started. The
monetary loss was about S25O.UN1
The fact that the hotel register was de-
stroyed Will make it difficult to obtain
an exact list of the dead. and while the
manager of the place states that about
fifty were registered, others who We're
about the hotel declared that several of
the guests were not registered. and the
total number was nearly sixty. OF these
not more than twenty-five are known to
have escaped.
Known to Be Dead.
The known dead are:
Mrs. Alice Boonevie.
Charles Cunning. jumped from third
story, breaking neck.
Beverly, waiter.
James Proxies, coppersmith.
Charles Beverly, employed in a local
oyster house.
The fire is believed to have been caused
by a gas explosion. 1t started in the
rear Of the building, but had gained
great Roadway before it was discovered
The lower floors of the Dewey Hotel
building were occupied by the Raphael
Fred Clothing Company. the Hitler Liquor
Company and the Adams Express Com
pany. The stock of all these companies
was destroyed.
Leaps Three Stories.
Charles Cunning, bartender, who had
a room on the Farnam street side of the
hotel, jumped from third-story window
and met instant death. He struck head
first on the sidewalk. Others also jumped
and were either killed instantly or NOR
tally injured.
Mrs. c. E. Wilkins, who had a room on
the second floor. dragged her sister. Miss
Alice BOnnevie to window. There Miss
Bonnevie collapsed and Mrs. Wilkins
jumped. Though two policemen broke
her fall, she was badly injured. Her sis
ter's body is in the ruins.
Jesse D. Mold. night clerk. opened the
door of his office, on the second floor,
when he heard All explosion. He was
driven back by smoke and flame. he at
tempted to arouse few guests on that
floor but soon had to seek the street to
save his own life
Believes Forty Dead.
The basement, into which the burning
interior fell within half an hour after
the fire started, contains at least fifteen
bodies according to the belief of Fire
Chief Salter There was no way in
which to reach them for hours after the
building collapsed
When the f.remen reached the burning
hotel they saw a number of persons at
windows in the upper story. Before lad
ders could be raised, however, the roof
began to cave in, and no one was rescued
by the ladder men.
The few guests who escaped from sec
ond-story windows or from the one en-
trance on the 18th street side. did SO in
scanty attire. They were carried to a
drug store across the street and to a
nearby restaurant. and later cared for at
neighboring hotels.

Such a State Exists Due
to Coal Strike.

CHARLESTON. W. Va, February 2S.-
That state Of insurrection exists in
West Virginia because Of the strike of
miners in the anawha coal field was in
timated by President Judge George Pof-
fenberger of the supreme court of ap-
peals when he announced the decision of
the court today denying the habeas cor
pus writ brought to obtain the transfer of
Mother Jones and other labor leaders
from the custody Of the military to the
CIVIL authorities. Judge Poffenberger
said:
We think that inasmuch IS the statute
says the governor may arrest and detain
persons who are aiding and abetting in
surrection until the insurrectfon is sup
pressed and order restored it authorizes
hlm TO do SO in such cases as this, and
tnere is not violation Of the constftu-
tlonal provision against the preservation
or life. liberty and property without due
process of law
Does Not Pass on Trials.
The court did not pass on the right of
the governors military commission to try
the accused, the attorneys for the state
contendfng that that question had been
settled by the Supreme Court of the
United States when 1t upheld the actions
of The military court last fall.
1t is expected trials by the military
commission will be commenced Immediate
ly after the Inauguration OF Goy.-elect

TAFT DECLINES
INSTRUCTIONS

Washington, Dec. 30--President
Taft has declined to instruct the
comptroller of the currency to make
an investigation to secure for the
house money trust investigating COM
mittee facts not now in the posses
sion of the comptroller. Guided by
an opinion by Attorney General Wick
ersham, the president has advised the
committee, through its attorney, Sam
uel Untermyer who made the request
for information, that he does not
think 1t proper to obtain the data
In this manner.
Atty-Gen. Wickersham today made
public the text of his opinion be-
cause he said of the confused and
erroneous statements" which have
appeared during the past few days
regarding its purport.
One important feature of the attor-
ney generals opinion is the state
ment that no legal effect is attached
to the directions contained in the
house money trust resolution calling
upon the comptroller of the currency
secretary of the treasury and other
officials to comply with ali the in
structions o, the committee for as
sistance in it's labors.
The duties of the comptroller are
imposed by law" says the opinion,
and cannot be lessened or increased
by resolution of the house,"
The attorney generals opinion,
upon which President Taft based his
letter to the committee, holds that
the president has the lawful power
to direct the comptroller to supply
the committee win information, al
ready In his possession. The presi-
dent ,on the other hand can refuse
to divulge this information. II he
ment require that it be kept con-
fidential, says the attorney general.
Most of the information sought by
the committee is no. now in the pos
session of the comptroller, and the
attorney general holds that the comp
troller has no right to exercise his
power in procuring data merely for
Jse OF furnishing 1t to a COM
mittee of one house of Congress.

lines and 1,OV7,772 miles of rural
mail routes.
Special Stamps Used
For parcel post matter a distinct.
i've set of postage stamps has been
provided. If the packages bear ordin.
airy postage stamps they will be held
for postage.
Immediately upon the enactment
of the parcel post law Postmaster
General Hitchcock appointed a com.
mittee of postal officials to work out
the details of the new system and to
put 1t into operation The committee
consists OF the highest authorities on
all phases of postal administration
Its personnel Is Robert S. Sharp
chief post office inspector, chairman ;
j. C.. KoonJ, superintendent OF sal.
aries and allowances; G. b. Hurley
chief clerk to the third assistant post
intendent of rural mails and A. A ..
Fisher, chief clerk TO the second as.
sistant postmaster general. Associat.
ed with the committee in an advis-
DRY capacity Is George G. Thomas,
chief clerk of the post office depart
ment. These officials have devel-
oped the plan Of the parcel post and
prepared the details of its operation
The drafting Of regulations to gov
ern matter transmitted by parcel post
was personally directed by Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock One of these
regulations is that each parcel mail
ed must bear on its face the name
and address OF the sender preceded
by the word from. Parcels intend
ed for dispatch must be mailed at a
post Office, branch post office, named
or lettered station or such numbered
station as may be designated by the
postmaster. They must not be placed
boxes located in city streets. They
may be given, however. 70 any rural
or star route carrier, Parcels must
not be sealed and must be 80 pre-
pared as TO permit OF easy examina
ton. Such parcels as contain two or
more classes OF mail matter are
chargeable with postage at the rate
prescribed Ior the higher class.
Matter Not Mailable
All matter which is declared un
mailable by law viii be unavailable as
parcel post matter This includes
obscene, indecent and immoral mat
ter, Intoxicating liquors, poisons
live animals, birds and poultry, in
fiammable articles and such things

tons prescribe infinitely methods to
be used in packing parcels. Liquids
and oils, paste and salves, sharp in
struments, ink powders, pepper, and
snuff must be placed in water tight
receptacles and in many instances
surrounded by absorbent material to
prevent damages to other mail mat
ter.
Articles such as millinery, toys,
musical instruments and glassware,
must be labelled fragile.
One of the interesting features OF
the regulations concerns perishable
articles. In this class are placed but
ter, lard, fish, fresh meats, dressed
fowls vegetables and fruits and ber-
ries. Provision is made for carrying
almost every article produced on the
farm except live animals and live
fowls. In the local zone little pack
ing Is required. Within the first
zone-that is for shipment OF fifty
miles-all these articles must be in
closed in an inner cover and In a
strong outer cover of wood, metal
or heavy corrugated pasreboard so
wrapped that nothing can escape from
the package.
Eggs
II has been demonstrated to the
satisfaction OF Postmaster General
Hitchcock that eggs can be transport
ed safely by parcel post. OF course,
they may not ve mailed in paper bags
but they must be inclosed in proper
containers.
Parcels which cannot be delivered
will take their course, through the
dead letter office. II parcel should
contain matter that in course Of its
transportation becomes offensive or
injurious to health 1t may be destroy
ed by the postmaster. Unbelievable
perishable matter which does not be-
come offensive or injurious to health
may be turned over to local munich
pal authorities to be distributed to
hospitals, asylums or other similar
institutions.
Provision is made In the law for
the naturalization OF shippers for
lost packages, The law prescribes
that by insurance the actual value of
l..
ders, Postmaster General Hitchcock
has devised unique system for han
ding insured parcels, consisting of
shipping tag printed with two cou-
pons, one of which is tom or and
given to the sender, the Sec re-
tanned by the postmaster At n sand-
ing ONCE. the tag itself being attach

fee for this insurance Is ten cents
In the event of loss the government
will pay the actual value of the con.
tents of the package not exceeding
$50.
Postmaster General Hitchcock en-
tertains the belief that the parcel
post is destined to become one of
the most important features of the
postal service.
