HAD FIRE SCARE

ROOM ON THIRD FLOOR SCENE or
BLAZE THAT ENDANGERED
BUILDING YESTERDAY.

What threatened for a time to he.
come disastrous fire occurred yester.
day afternoon In the Laclede hotel re-
Gently purchased by George NJ. Cline at
the corner of Main and Jcfersul
streets. The fire was confined 10 one
room on the third floor of the buildin i;
and the destruction done was to room
furnishings, hall carpets, etc., and
amounted to between $500 and $500.
The fire was discovered by Mr.. Cline
who saw smoke issuing from the up er
hallway. The fire department. was
soon on the ground and with the iilGic-
ious use Of chemical the fire was con-
fined to room No. Is where 1t origin
ated. For Il time the safety of one Of
the employees Of the hotel was endan-
gered. The night cook was sleeping in
one of the rooms Immediately behind
the fire and exit was cut off in the hall
way because of the fire. AS result
the fire escape was used and the COOK
reached safety.
Mr.. Cline was at loss to acco'int
for the origin Of the fire, but, feels
pleased that it was discovered in time
as he has been in possession of the
hotel for but few days. He attrib-
utes the saving Of the building to an
order issued that day to keep all room
doors closed along the hall, and this
led to the smoke issuing from the hall
way and being discovered In time to
prevent greater damage. "

Another breezy letter has been re

Washington, June 13.--Delegates tc
the convention of the Brotherhood OF
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
who are boosting Washington as the
next convention city and the per
manent home of the headquarters OF
the organization, feel that the chances
Of the national capital gaining both OF
these coveted honors we're greatly in
creased yesterday when an officer OF
the brotherhood stated positively that
the headquarters would remain IN
Peoria, Ill.,, if they were not removed
here. This same officer declared that
Washington had as good a chance as
any of the other cities in the race to
gain the next convention.
"The headquarters of the brother
hood will not be removed from Peoria
to any other city than Washington
said the officer. LAS for the next con-
vention city, it is an open fight. 1t is
too early to say anything definite.
Washington has as good chance as
any of the other cities. If Washington
is made the permanent headquarters
the next convention will more than
likely be held here"
ST. Louis yesterday entered the fight
for the next convention. An active
campaign has been inaugurated and
announc cement made that st. Louis
would be in the fight until the end:
All of the Missouri delegates to the
convention appeared at the Arcade
yesterday wearing white streamers
bearing the words, Z" Vote for st.
Louis. 1916" in blue letters. Before
the adjournment yesterday number
of ST.. Louis sympathizers had been
pledged. This did not disconcert the
Washington boosters, who declared
that the St. Louis boom was at it's
height They asserted that every st.
Louis man had been tagged.
Little Progress on Revision.
Yesterday was an off day with the
convention, so far as business was
concerned. Only routine business was
transacted, and little or no progress
was made on the revision of the con-
stitution and bylaws. The delegates
appeared more inclined to celebrate
the ratification of the working agree
ment between their organization and
that Of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Leaders Of the convention in dis
cussing the matter stated yesterday
that the working agreement which had
just been established makes the two
great organizations practically one,
insofar as dealings between the men
and the railroads are concerned. The
agreement practically serves to dou-
BILE the membership Of each organiza-
ton. Leaders declare that it is the
greatest single step forward toward
the complete organization Of employees
that has occurred in this country in
the past fifty years.

RATES ON FREIGHT
WILL Be REDUCED
BILL INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS
BY PEPPER HAS GOOD CHANCE
TO PASS.
[BY f. II. HANSON.l

| Washington, D. c., June left the
bill introduced by Representative Pep
per last Friday becomes law, middle
| western shippers and consumers will
profit greatly by reduced freight rates.
Justice Pitney, in his opinion on the
Minnesota rate case, held that ship
pers should not be forced to 60 before
the interstate commerce commission
and prove that a, rate was unjust, If
that rate was higher than one granted
to another shipper or to other ship
pers over like hauls. He declared
that by compelling a man to do that
and then carry the case from the inter
state commerce commission to the
federal courts, 1t was really forcing
him to go into two courts.
Mr.. Peppers bill provides that all a
man has to do to prove his rate I'M
just Is to prove the discrimination and
he gives the federal courts the juris-
diction. The measure Of damages Is
to be the difference between the higher
and lower rates.
Legislation Expected.
AS a result of the Minnesota de-
cision, congress is surely going to en-
act some legislation very soon, tend
ing to equalize freight rates over the
country. It Is charged and not denied
that shippers from one coast can send
goods to the other cheaper than they
can send them a few hundred miles
inland; also, 1t is charged that, the
great transcontinental railroads and
the Atlantic steamship companies have
agreements which give foreign ship
I1yon 1nroncfjo
has been alleged that man living, say
in Chicago, could take advantage Of
these rates to such an extent that he
ship goods to Liverpool, reload them
and return them to the United States
cheaper than he could send them to
some town in New York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts or Pennsylvania.
It Is admitted on all sides that there
lis no basic reason for the present sys-
item Of rates and charges and now that
1.-THE supreme court has indicated to
congress what it should do, it Is up to
congress to get busy.
Place For Ottumwan.
Representative Kirkpatrick has
taken some Of the soreness out of the
jrecent battle for the Ottumwa post
ioffice by getting T. H. Picker, ex-
mayor, one of the candidates, a position
as special agent in the internal
revenue service. This position is one
similar to that surrendered by Mr..
Kirkpatrick when he entered upon his
congressional duties. He has hopes Of
landing seveal good places for some of
his other friends in this district be-
fore long.
Philip Phillips young Ottumwa
business man, spent day or two in

Incidents Of Martial Law.
A. S. Honaker, a merchant of Hol-
ly Grove, said he was arrested by ID
mine guards and taken from his
home. He had allowed miners to erect
tents on his property, he said, after
they had been elected from the COM
pany's houses. Guards, he declared,
had dumped the furniture of forty
or fifty miners on his land and he had
allowed it to remain.
Elizabeth Fish, a pretty, olive-skin
ned mountain girl, said she and May
Claypool, in company with another
girl, were met by nine mine guards,
who ordered them to wade the creek,
enforcing the orders with their guns.
One of the girls tried to remove her
shoes and stockings before entering
the water, which at that point was
waist deep.
"She got one shoe off," said the
girl, when the guards told her she
was too darned slow and drove her
into the water"
Several miners told Of their exper-
fences with mine guards.
Much cumulative testimony as to
conditions in the community before
and during the strike were presented
by several miners.
G. L. Workman, a stable boy, said
that the guards were entirely re-
sponsible for the trouble.
"If you will take the guards out Of
there" he said, "the men and opera.
tors would be able to get together"
Mr.. Workman said the guards were
still at work on Cabin Creek,
