N'DERMOTT'S BRIEF
ATTACKS MULHALL
Author of Famous Charges Is
HotIy Denounced in Brief of
Illinois Congressman.

vitriolic attack upon Col. NJ. H.
AIulhaIl, author of the famous Mulhall
charges, is contained in a brief sub
mitted on behalf of Congressman James
T. McDermott of Illinois, to the House
Lobby Investigating Committee today.
James Easby-Smith, the Washington
7ttorney who represented Mr.. McDer-
mott. is almost as caustic in his criti-
cism of l. H. McMichael. former House
yase and McDermott protege, who, in
Part. backed up the Mulhall testimony.
Among all the Congressman mention
ed in the "Mulhall confession" Con-
sressman MdDermott was the chief OBJ
iect of attack, the allegations being that
although he was a union card man,
ne was acting as a spy" for the Ma
fIonal Association of Manufacturers, for
whom Mulhall was legislative field
agent and lobbyist.
Attorney Easby-Smith, in his brief,
declares that the Mulhall charges were
prompted through a spirit Of revenge
and malice: that they were false from
beginning to end, and that Colonel Null
hall and McMichael are unworthy Of
credence as witnesses. He uses the
hardest language in referring to the
two witnesses.
The report of the lobby investigating
committee is now in course of prepara-
ton, and will soon be submitted to the

FOUR ARE DASHED TO
DEATH BY JUMPING IN
PACIFIC HOTEL FIRE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9.-Four men
were killed and twelve injured today
in a fire that destroyed the San Pedro
and Maritime hotels in East street, near
the Ferry building. The blaze was one
Of the most spectacular seen here in
years. and the entire water front was
endangered.
The men leaped from the fourth story
Of the Maritime hotel and were crushed
TO death.
The fire burned so rapidly that the
firemen We're unable to get ladders TO
the upper windows before those inside
We're forced to jump.
A number were carried down from
the lower stories. The others injured
were guests who were also forced to
jump.
While the fire was at its height snow
fell. 1t is the first time there has been
snow in San Francisco since 1897, and
the storm divided the attention Of the
crowd.
The firemen after the first futile eff
forts made no effort to save the hotels,
but confined their work to saving the
shipping and the dock structures. The
blaze was finally controlled. The loss
is estimated at $500, 600

SAVANNAH. GA. Jan. 9.-Barred by

liquor to points in Georgia by ex-

taken advantage of the parcels post to
secretively supply heir customers, even
though the parcels post regulations pro-

Savannah postal authorities have is
sued a warning that the practice must
stop. Thus far no prosecution has been
instituted. A number of packages of
liquor are now being held az the post
Office.
The first violation was noticed when
a package sprang a leak. The peculiar
odor which ia always associated with
whisky was readily observed. Another

Burned Child Rushed
To Grady Hospital in
The Cab of an Engine
Mother Smothers Flaming Cloth
ing of Baby She Left Playing
Near Grate-Tot Near Death.

A race for life as thrilling as any ever
depicted in Hal Reid melodrama was
made this morning when M F. Flynn,
a switchman for the Western and At
lantic railroad rushed his baby
boy, badly burned, from the In
man Yards on a locomotive to wait
ing automobile at Pryor street, which
then carried the child to the Grady hos
pital.
Despite the heroic efforts, physicians
at the hospital were fearful that the
infant would die.
Little Gilmore Flynn, two years old,
was toasting his toes in front Of a big
CRATE fire as his father waved a good
bye and went to his work this morning.
The mother busted herself cleaning the
house and went into the yard for a mo-
ment or two.
Screams from the boy brought her
back and when she rushed into the
room the child's clothes were afiame
and the youngster was badly burned
The mother grabbed him, mindless OF
the peril to herself, and extinguished
the flames, which had burned away
most of the baby's clothes and had ter
ribly scorched his face, arms and body
The mothers hands we're badly
burned.
Neighbors attracted to the scene hur-
ried out to the Inman Yards, but a STEP
away. and summoned the father. The
child was carried to the engine cab
and at full steam the locomotive start
ed for the city.
An automobile was waiting at the
Pryor street crossing and the chile
was placed tenderly in the machine and
rushed to Grady hospital. The doctors
there considered the child's condition
critical and were doubtful of the posi-
biity of saving its life
