FORT LAWN FIRE DISASTROUS
Flames Caused $4,000 Loss to
Chester County Town, With In
surance of About $4,000. s

Chester, Jan. 12.-The little town
OF Fort Lawn, located in Chester
county, was visited by the greatest
confiagration in its history last night
about 1880 o'clock. The fire is of
an unknown origin and had its in
ception in the rear of 0. A. Jordan
q Company's store. 1t seems to have
started rather quickly and before the
people knew anything of it that store
along with the big Witherspoon Mer-
camille company was in flames also,
the wind was very high, and for a
while it looked as if the entire town
would be swept away.
1t has no fire department and had
to resort to a bucket brigade which
did valiant work. For time it look
ed as if the Fort Lawn Deposit Bank
and John G. Cousar and j. l.. Nc
Fadden's store would likewise be
ignited. They were all across the
street, and the water furnished only
by the buckets managed to keep the
fire down it took several hours to
eliminate any further extension of
the fire. In the o. A. Jordan G. Co.
building, in addition to it's store, was
j. E. Turner's meat market and a
number of Offices and the Masonic
hall.
The next building was occupied ex-
clusively by the Witherspoon Mer-
camille Company, which carried a
general line of merchandise, then
across the street the front of the
Fort Lawn Deposit bank was badly
damaged and also the front of John
u. Cousar's store. The latter also
handled a line of general merchan-
disc, a large number of goods were
carried from his store which were
damaged by the sparks and water.
1t is said no goods were carried from
any of the other places. The front
and some of the stock of T. L. Nc
Fadden's store was also considerably
damaged.
An insurance man here tonight, in
estimating the loss, said that it
would be approximately $4,000 with
about $4,000 insurance.

is YEAR OLD BOY TRIES no
SHOOT Up COURT IN
WASHINGTON.
ALL Shots WENT Wild
Three Shot, Narrowly Missed Prose
cutor But Boy was OycrpOwcrcd
Before lie Could Again Fire.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Judge,
lawyers, policemen and spectators
were sent scurrying to cover in the
criminal court here today. when Ray
NJ Stewart, aged 1S, fired three wild
shots in an attempt to "shoot up the
court. At the first crack Justice
Wendall II. Stafford disappeared be-
meath his desk and out in the court
room there was a wild scramble for
places of safety. Some sought refuge
under tables or behind heavy chairs
and others. frenzied by fear, leaped
into windows and dropped to the
ground some fifteen or twenty feet
below.
Justice Stafford had just refused
to release Stewart on probation after
conviction for attempted highway
robbery. The boy whipped out pis-
tol and fired three shots, two of which
narrowly missed assistant u. S. At
torneys Samuel Hawken and Harvey
Given and Policeman Moffatt. He
was in the attitude of turning toward
the judge as if to shoot when a wit
ness spranG upon him and choked
him into insensibility.
Tn the confusion that followed
many thought Justice Stafford had
been struck by n bullet but the judge
emerged from his haven without a
scratch.
Stewart had been convicted recent
l. In "A
Washington suburb last December.
He had applied for probation as a
first offense, and Judge Stafford had
been hearing the testimony of wit
nesses for and against the applicant.
Hawken. Given and Moffatt. who
were conducting the prosecution,
we're seated near the boy who had
been at liberty on bail. The Judge
lad barely uttered the last word in
passing sentence when the prisoner
began to shoot. The first shot was
aimed in the direction " the prosecu-
tors and just missed Hawken. who
ducked under the table. The next
shot went toward the jury box and
passed dangerously near detective
Bergean's head. 1t struck wall and
rebounded. falling near Justice staf-
ford's bench. The third shot struck
the ceiling.
As the youth wheeled and faced the
bench, Edwin Blain, clerk in the de-
partment of agriculture, who had
been witness for the state, seized
the boy by the throat and threw him
tc the floor.
By this time the court room had
been nearly cleared of officials and
snectators.
Stewart lay, unconscious for several
minutes after being disarmed. Later
ne wns removed to the cell room be-
n ath the court room.

FREE SUGAR To
MEET AGID TEST
FIRST SCRAP IN TuE Caucus or
THE SENATE CAME
YESTERDAY.
Vote Will come TODAY
Two Senators Made Vigorous APP
peal for II Sugar Duty Before
the Caucus Adjourned.

WASHINGTON June 2t.-Demo-
Gratis opposed to free sugar enlivened
the senatorial caucus late today, be-
ginning their final effort to change
the schedule before the tariff bill
reaches the senate for general de-
bate. Western and Louisiana senat-
ors were primed to make a titanic
fight against the provision, which
provides that sugar shall be free OF
duty in 1916. Senator Shafroth of
Colorado and Walsh Of Montana,
took up the contest when the sched-
ule was reached suddenly late in the
afternoon. IT had not been expected
that the caucus would reach sugar
before tomorrow, but the metal and
wood schedules were rushed through
without much discussion and before
s o'clock the decks were clear for
the first and most discussed party
struggle
This will be the acid test for free
sugar. To the decision of the eau
Gus the democratic senators will he
pledged md the prospect is that
only Senators Thornton and Ransdell
VI l4OulSldnu Will De released from
the binding resolution that is to be
adopted.
There is a possibility of one other
senator asking for relief. Senator
Ransdell, who is leading the fight on
free sugar, hurried from the caucus
room when it was apparent that the
sugar schedule would be reached and
sent a messenger Tor Senator New
lands Of Florida. Senator Newlands
soon arrived and Immediately there
after the first paragraph of the
schedule was read.
Senator Shafroth, Of Colorado, was
the first speaker. Coming from beet
sugar state, he made a vigorous fight
for elimination of the provision for
free sugar In three years. He sub
mitted many briefs and statistics.
Senator Walsh of Montana, who
will make a fight for free wool, is
standing by the anti-free sugar SEN
ators in the caucus fight. He follow
cd Senator Shafroth and had not con-
cluded when the caucus adjourned
until tomorrow.
