INJURIES A BOY
Fire Wrecks Wood Novelty
Manufacturing Plant on
Elm Street.

Two boys were injured, one serious
", in. an explosion and fire in fac
tory at the rear of 261 Elm street at
noon today. The victims were Louis
Ross and his brother, Max Ross.
They live at 26S Elm street.
Louis, who is fourteen years old, was
badly burned about the body He
was taken to st. James's Hospital
Max Ross escaped with burns about
the hands.
The factory is occupied by l. Eisen-
stein & Co. The building is of brick
and is at the rear of the brass foun-
dry of p Bushauer which is frame

Max Ross. is employed by Tie
Eisenstein firm, and he and MS
younger brother, who had run In
from his home next door, were alone
on the second floor at the time the
fire started. 1t is believed the fire
was due to a match or lighted cigar
cite which ignited gases from a
japaning kettle and caused an ex-
plosion.
Louis Ross tried to extinguish the
flames, and in so doing his clothes
became ignited. Frightened, he ran
down the stairs to the first floor with
his clothes ablaze. Screaming, the
lad tried to ascend the back steps of
his home
Several persons saw Ross and ran
after him They wrapped him in
blankets and then sent the boy to the
hospital.
The fire Quilted the Eisenstein build
ing 1t is estimated that $1,000 dam
age was incurred by the blaze.
About twenty-five persons1are en-
ployed in the building. The fire
started shortly after the noon hour
when nearly all of the employees We're
at lunch.
l.. Eisenstein & Company. whose es-
adjustment is known as the Wood
Novelty Works, is engaged in the
cane business. The concern turns out
rattan canes, such as are used IN
parades to wave small remnants or
flags from. The hazardous nature Of
the business can be judged by ref
erence to the records in the office of
the Bureau of Combustibles. Prior
to occupying the premises at PSI
Elm street, where the explosion took
place today, the company's plant was
located in Congress street, near the
Central railroad. There was an ex-
plosion in one of the ovens there and
Captain Gasser, of the Combustible
Bureau, and Israel Eisenstein. the
head of the firm, had quite a con-
troversy over the nature of the bust
hess and lack of safety precautions.
The company later removed its
plant to its present location.
Since then there have been three
fires there, including today The
first was on March 20, 1912, and the
second on June rs, 1914.
1t was reported that the ovens were
fireproof and that if reasonable pre-
cautions were taken by the firm a
fire following an explosion could be
confined within the oven. Today s
happening. however, doesn't appear
to bear out that theory.

The unfortunate copy-reader that
has to write head for this yarn is
going to bless the writer before he is
through. The writer feels it in his
heart, for this tale is going to be
sort of three-in-one affair.
It will relate the story of former
County Clerk John B. Woolston's un-
finished shave, Philippe A.. better
known as Tony" Sachettis unavail-
ing effort to use the many doorways
of the county prosecutors office in an
effort to escape from a bondsman who
wanted to surrender, and did finally
surrender, him into custody, and the
visit of his honor Mayor Jacob
Haussling to the Court House in an
effort to aid Sachetti in obtaining a
new bondsman.
To try to save the aforesaid copy
reader as much trouble as possible,
we will tell the three tales in Sc
quential order. On July 20 last Sa-

Prospects are that the San Francisco

wonder is that the governments of Great

enterprise.
If they change their minds, let them.
But let it be done under home pressure.
There should be no pressure or induce

it is absurd to suppose that the canal

The Panama-Pacific Exposition.

Many British business men and many
German business men are in protest at
the refusal of their respective govern
ments to participate in the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition. They regard the action
as a mistake from every point of view.
and are endeavoring to have it rescinded
and the proper appearance made at San
Francisco.
While we should all wish them well
in their undertaking. is it not time for
Americans to cease their activity and
anxiety in the premises? So far as we
are concerned our case has been cordial
Iy and clearly presented. and we should
add nothing to it. Certainly Uncle Sam
should not be made to appear as stand
ing. hat in hand, and begging John Bull
and Hans to come to my party
In the speculation on the subject sew
eral reasons have been offered for the
attitude of Great Britain and Germany
in this matter. One is that they resent
the provision made for the exemption
of American coastwise shipping from the
tolls to be fixed for the Panama canal.
Another is that they are not pleased
with certain features Of our new tariff
law.
Neither of these reasons is sufficient.
Neither has a proper bearing OH the San
Francisco show. Congress, in its own
| time, will take up the canal tolls question,
and discuss the objection that has been
| raised to our treatment of our coast
wise shipping. AS for the new tariff
| law, that was enacted after months OF
| debate. and represents the principles OF
