FORTY ARE BURNED
Believed That Many Girls Per-
iSh in Fire.
Building Totally Destroyed in
20 Minutes.

Binghamton, Y. Y, July 22.-Forty
girls are believed to have lost their
lives in a fire which destroyed the
Freeman Overall factory here this af-
ternoon. The fire started at 2:30
O'Clock and had completely destroyed
the building in 20 minutes. One hun
dred and twenty girls were in the fac
tory when the fire was discovered. The
police declared that at least forty fail
ed to escape.
Twelve girls We're taken to the hos
pital badly injured. There were heart
rendering scenes when several girls,
clinging to fire escapes were swept by
sheets of flames or jumped from the
factory windows. Exactly how many
were penned inside was hard - de-
uermine in the panic. The walls OF the
big building fell at 2:50 o'clock.
At 3:45 p. m, two bodies seen lying
on Division street, were cut completely
in two. Others can be seen in the ruins.
1t is now thought the number of lives
lost will exceed forty.
E. ]. Lawrence, bookkeeper of the
company, said that he was working in
the office when the first alarm sound
ed. The flames were under the front
stairway. There also was rear stair
way and the fire escapes at the south
side of the building.

FLOUR RATE HELD UP.
Proposed Advance Again Put Of
This Time to November D.

Word was received in Topeka today,
from Washington, that the Interstate
commerce commission has again sus-
pended a proposed increase in the
freight rate on flour from points in
Kansas and other middle western
states to California terminals until an
investigation of the reasons for the
advance is made.
The rate was to have become eff
fective on March %. but owing to the
request of the Topeka Traffic association
and toe southwestern Millers' league
with headquarters at Wichita, a sus-
pension was ordered until July 25.
The present suspension will hold Antil
November %.
A hearing on the question will be
held in Kansas OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES! The
proposed increase in Thea rate is from
Is to IS cents hundred pounds.
Topeka is one of the large milling
centers in the country and conse
quently especially interested in this
rate case.

To MINE MORE COAL.
Additional Prisoners Will Work in the
States Mines.

More prisoners are to be worked in the
prison mines at Lansing and new ma
chinery and modern equipment installed
in effort to supply all of the state in
situations with coal and save the appro-
priation of $4,000 year for the states
fuel supply Such statement made
today by Sam Seaton, parole clerk in the
office of Governor Hodges.
Under the present system it is impossi-
BILE to mine enough coal to supply all of
the state institutions. Last winter the
state legislature set aside appropria-
ton of $4,000 a year to buy coal to in
sure adequate supply for the state This
money can be saved, it is claimed, by in
stal1ing new machinery and equipment
and working more men in the mines. An
order placing more of the convictS in
the prison mines will probably be issued
soon.
The state administration now plans the
extension of the tracks to several new
coal runs. They will also increase their
car capacity and by the purchase of some
new machinery can furnish much more
coal than lis now mined at the Lansing
prison.
1.-The new machinery" said Seaton, will
enable more men to work at mining coal
and will increase the working force from
the men who are already under ground.
Then we can place a number of new men
in the mines and we believe that We will
be able to supply enough coal for all
state institutions and save the $4,000 an
nual appropriation for COAL

Few Speeches on Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 22.-Senate
Democrats declared today that few
set tariff speeches would come from
this side of the chamber. Senator
Gallinger leader of the Republicans,
was in difficulty finding Republican
senators ready to speak in opposition
to the bill following Senator Smoot.
1--WE are not going to take up time
debating this BILL said Simmons of
the finance committee. 'If the bill
proves not to be for the benefit of the
country it will demonstrate that our
idease of the tariff are wrong. if it
proves to be well for the country it
will demonstrate that the opposition is
wrong. That is all there sto this
proposition and we are ready and
anxious to pass the bill Tt is going to
pass" ~

PLANS FOR GAGE PARK
Commissioner Porter Will Begin Max
ing Improvements at Once.

Plans for extensive improvements at
Gage park, to be worked out at once,
are being completed by Commissioner
w L. Porter The commissioner will
waste no time upon preparations for
the work now that the car line to the
park is practically assured, and be-
lieves he is justified in making ex-
penditures of considerable money in
improving the park.
For one thing Porter is planning to
dredge, drain and sand the bathing
pool at the park, cutting down the
after the plans suggested in recent
article in the State Journal. The pool
has been pronounced unsanitary. 1t
is admittedly not in as good shape as
it might be, part of it having a mud
bottom that makes the water muddy
in time.
Further plans include moving the
deer to a new location just east of the
buffalo pen, and building a large ami
NAL house for the accomm odation of
the animals in the Gage zoo.
A number of trees are to be planted
on bare spots in the park where there
are no trees at present, and improve
ments in the shape of shrubbery and
attractive flower beds are planned.
Gage park will be a different place
next year when it is available by a car
line if Porter's plans are carried out
1t will be watered from the city pump
ing plant, and will be lighted from the
municipal lighting plant as soon as
arrangements can be made for bring
ing city water into it, and for convey
ing an electric current line out there.
The poles of the Topeka Railway COM
pany. are to be used in carrying the
city light wires to the park for the
illumination there.
Gage park can be made into a
beauty spot, and ought to be-" is the
comment of Commissioner Porter.
Now that the car line is assured / ex-
pect to go ahead with plans for the
improvement of the citys property,
and make the park worth WHILE

SUFFRAGE VICTIM
Aged Negro Complains Wife

All Right Until That Suffrage
Amendment Became Law.

A grizzled old negro stumbled into
Judge Robert Garver's office the other
day and said he was getting so OLD, and
his wife was getting so obstreperous.
that his home was no longer a happy
one. He wanted the court to help him
subdue his wife.
Just what do you want me to do?'
queried the judge of the city court.
Want you should make her more
respectful of me- returned the COM
plainant, used to be 1 could beat her

honest husband should enjoy said the
Judge soberly
The old darkey declared that his bet

had been given equal rights. She re-
fused to obey her lord and master af-
ter the suffrage amendment was car
ried. As the months passed, her au-
dacity grew. Her husband attemrte.i

PLAN RIVAL BILL
Opponents of Democratic Cur
rency Measure Act.
Will Submit Bill Informally to
President.

Washington, July PA rival to the
administration currency bill appeared
today-the creation of those Demo-
Gratis members of the house banking
committee who have opposed various
features of the administration bill. 1t
is largely a rewrite of the Glass plan.
Representative Ragsdale of South Car
DINA, who yesterday quit the delibera-
ton of the committee Democrats; Rep
resentative Wingo of Arkansas, and
Henry of Texas, all had a hand in
preparing the new bill. ;-
1t would embody many recommended
lions of the old money trust inveSti-
eating committee.
The bill will not be introduced in
the house Immediately but first will
be submitted to President Wilson and
Secretary McAdoo in an informal way.
If subsequent amendments make the
Glass bill conform to the suggestions
of it's opponents, the new bill may not
be introduced. Democrats of the bank
ing committee today continued their
consideration of the bill.
Representative Ragsdale returned to
the conference.

Certain Could Beat Them.
Il feel certain if we would take up
the four most prominent on this list
We could beat them and keep a contin-
ual war upon the others by starting up
the manufacturers in their districts,
the railroad interests or anybody else
we could reach, and in that way we
would be very soon able to convince

In letter from NIulhall to

hall told of conferences between
himself, James A. Emery and Wat
son about a tariff commission. In
his testimony Mulhall swore that the
proposed employment of Watson with
$4,000 fee, if he got such a bill
through congress was discussed at
such meeting and that Watson was
then a member of the house.
Watson's term in congress expired
March 4 1909.

ancy.

toned again by Mulhall in a letter to
Schwedtman February 20. He told of
an extended interview with the SEN
ator on labor bills and the decision
of the judiciary committee on the pro-
posed Sherman law amendment.
Senator Nelson has testified he had
no interviews with Mulhall.
Attorneys for the National Associ-
alton of Manufacturers may not be
permitted to cross examine Martin
NJ. MuIhalI, the confessed lobbyist,
before the senate investigating COM
mittee. When Attorney Robert Nc
Carter. for the manufa cturers, today
suggested cross examination by Null
hall of his story that former Repre-
sentative James E. Watson of Indiana
had been paid a retainer of $500 and
a weekly salary of $3.50 to work for
the passage of a tariff commission
bill with a promise of an additional
$4,000 if the bill was successful, Sen
ator Reed the committees leading
queStioner, declared himself against
cross examination, but proposed that
the question be submitted to the com
mittee. The point was not finally de-
cided. MuIhau TO-DAY swore that he
drew $500 from a Baltimore bank to
be paid to Watson.
Headquarters With Enemy.
Mulhan swore that Watson had made
the office of James A. Emerys here his
headquarters after he was defeated f."
governor of Indiana in 1908. Emery,
Mulhall swore, was the chief lobbyist
for the manufacturers. The witness
declared today that former Senator
Hemenway of Indiana occupied rooms
next to Emery and that Watson was in
one office or the other much of the
time. On February 3. 1909 in letter to
Schwedtman Mulhall got into Illinois
politics and brought in former Senator
Hopkins, who was defeated for re-elec
ton by VIM. Lorimer. MulhaH wrote
of the senatorial deadlock at Spring
field:
We are spreading the impression
that on account of contemplate stand
taken by Hopkins in the convention at
Chicago last June wherein he was ex-
tremely unfair to the manufacturing
interests in refusing them a hearing
before the committee on resolution and
packing that committee in favor of the
GomperS crowd has in large measure
brought this fight upon his own Shout
ders.'

tracted his charges that former Repre-
sentative Watson of Indiana was en-
ployed by private interests while \

Manager Patten Denies That Any
Tracks viii Be Taken Up.

Manager Albert Patten of the To-
peka Railway company denies several
rumorS with reference to the work
his company contemplates doing in
the near future, particularly that with
reference to taking up the rails on
street lines. The rails on neither of
these will be taken up, he says.
Work in laying rails from Eighth
and West streets on Eighth street to
the city limits will begin as soon as
all the material is on the ground, per-
haps in the next month. Later the
pavement on West street between
up and the rails laid there, connecting
the extension with the West Sixth
line.
Mr.. Patten expects to complete the
extension to the city limits this fall.
Perhaps some, work will be done on
the Gage park line. Next spring the
line to Gage will be rushed to compile
time, June 1.
The rails to VineWood will be left
because the company may want to use
the line again some time. Anyway
Highland Park is growing and needs a
line, and sooner or later it is hoped
vicinity to make the line a paying
proposition. The track from High
land Park to Vinewood will not be
seriously damaged by being permitted
to lie idle a year or two, and may
come in handy some time.
I'VE are not contemplating any
changes just now" is Mr.. Patten's
Eighth street line from Kansas avenue
to Clay street. The line recently has
been repaired at the joints of the rails
and Isl in fairly good shape.
