BRITISH NOTE
EXPECTED SOON
Bryce May Make Further Statement
on Canal Question to Secretary

Washington, D. c., Feb. 2S.-The
aim of the British government
in presenting rejoinder to Secre-
tary Knox's last note asserting that
right of the United States to exempt
its coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of tolls in the Panama canal,
before the retirement of the present
is understood to be
Influenced by the desire to escape the
intimation that 1t wishes to deal with
the incoming democratic administra-
ton. Therefore, the next note, now In
preparation and likely to be deliver
ed by Ambassador Bryce to Secretary
Knox In the course of day or two,
will be in the line of development, in
a logical way, of the initial British
contentious regarding the accessible
ity of the canal to all nations, includ-
ing the United States on even terms
of the arbitration nature Of the issue
between the two governments.
It Is understood in regard to the
latter point, however, that Ambassa-
dor Bryce, who is now taking an &C.
tive part in the preparation of the
British case, has not indicated a pur-
pose to accept the proposal Of Secre-
tary Knox in his last note to ex-
change notifications on the pending
general arbitration treaty between
America and Great Britain in order
to permit of the appointment Of a
special commission therein provided
for, to ascertain and report upon the
facts in the dispute.
Predicts Two RattIeships.
Chairman Perkins of the senate ma
val committee predicted today that
that committee would restore the two
battleship provision to the naval ap.
preparation bill, reduced to one by the
house. The senator has called a meet
ing of the committee tomorrow.

clerk, administered stimulant. Steiss
stepped outside and collapsed entire-
ly overcome from the effects OF the
smoke forced through his lungs. He
was carried to an ambulance ana re-
moved to the emergency hospital ana
later revived.
Jesse Mold, who represents the man
agement of the hotel, probably saved
the lives Of over a score Of persons.
He was awakened by the cry of fire
and, half dressed, hurried through the
smoke filled Railways arousing guests
of the hotel. He succeeded in getting
a number of persons out of the burn
ing building, all of them. half clad.
They were taken to nearby places OF
refuge for the time.
Bitter cold made conditions almost
unbearable. The firemen had hardly
started streams on the burning motel
until frozen pipe lines began to burst.
They caused an impeachment to the Ell
forts of the flremen and reduced for
some time the efficiency of the lire
fighting force.
Gas Explosion Is Cause.
It Is now believed the loss Of life
was caused by a gas explosion in the
rear Of the building. Only few
weeks ago. there was discovered q
leaking gas main which caused the
management of the hotel to arouse all
the guests of the hotel At that time
it was necessary to cut off the gas
supply and open the windows and
doors of the entire building to pre-
vent the asphyxiation of some Of the
guests. The explosion this morning
is believed to have resulted from
similar condition. The suddenness
with which fire secured Roadway, in
dicates that THIS condition existed.
The f1remen had pushed ladder to
the third floor on the alley side of the
building just as the explosion occurred.
It sent the ladders back and prevented
several persons at windows from
escaping. At least one person was
shaken from the ladder when the ex-
plosion occurred, but he was not seri-
ously injured. After six hours during
which from six to q dozen streams
were kept continually playing on the
ruins, it was not possible for the fire.
men to enter the building. How many
bodies will be found was still matter
of conjecture, and it was not known
positively that more than fifteen were
in the ruins.
Mark Hemingway who lives at
Ewing, Neb., was a guest at the hotel.
He tells remarkable story of escap-
ing. Being aroused by the cry OF fire,
he rushed downstairs to the second
floor, to find that part of the building
in flames. He could find no avenue
Of escape and CROPPED his way back to
his room above Here he collapsed
for moment but regaining his con-
seriousness damned his fist through the
window of his room and climbing to a
window ledge, was rescued by firemen
on a ladder. He had several bad cuts
from the broken glass but was other !
wise uninjured.

and turned in second and third
alarm which brought out the entire
downtown fire fighting force. When the
firemen reached the scene the building
was a mass Of flames and firemen saw
numbers of persons at windows in the
two upper stories. Before ladders could
be raised, however, the roof began to
cave in on the unfortunates and not a
single person was rescued by the lad
der men.
That the basement into which the
burning interior fell within half an
hour after the fire started, contains the
bodies of not less than forty persons is
the belief Of Fire Chief Salter. There
was no way in which to reach them for
many hours after the building COL
lapsed. The rear wall fell in on the
mass and all were buried beneath hun
dreds of tons of debris. 1t is believed
the fire started in the rear, probably in
the furnace room in the basement.
time say there was an explosion, ap-
parently of gas, and in a few minutes
the entire interior was in flames.
James Proxies, a coppersmith, and
Charles Beverly, employed in local
oyster house attempted to escape and
their bodies were found in the hallway
on the second floor.
Newsboy Awakened Guests.
lizzie Steiss, a World Herald paper
carrier, was one Of the heroes of the
fire. He was preparing to start with
his morning route and was one of the
first at the fire. Even before the fire.
men arrived he rushed into the build
ing and began assisting the night clerk
to arouse those sleeping in the build
ing. He helped drag several half dazed
persons from the building and then
half suffocated, went to nearby drug
store where Alhan P. Smith, a night
