Close Call
for Hotel
State Line Hotel Afire Monday Morn.
ins-Fire Department Saves Build
ing-Loss $500.

The State Line hotel had close
call from destruction by FIRE last
Monday morning. About $3.50 in the
morning the FIRE alarm was turned in
when the building was discovered to
be .6re and rapidly filing with smoke
which drove the sleepers from their
rooms.
Theodore Schweitzer was the first
fireman ON the ground and with the
aid Of others who quickly appeared
on the scene, the FIRE was brought un-
der control by the use Of the chemical
engines.
The FIRE originated from an over
heated chimney which set the parti-
ton between the dining room and
kitchen a6re. The flames went up
between the studding and it took some
hard work on the part of the 6remen
to get to the FIRE. which was accom-
plished by the use Of axes and the
chopping Of holes in the partition.
The damage done is reported by Mr..
cath at 1900. which is covered witt
insurance. The FIRE department is
certainly entitled to a lot of praise
for the manner in which they re-
spond. this being the second time they
have teen called out in the middle of
the aight-and have accomplished
good work.

HARD AT WORK 0N TRUST PROGRAMME subcommittee Drafting Bill to Prohibit Interlocking
 DirectOrates

Washington, March 1.-The Senate sub committee on interstate commerce, ap- pointed by Chairman Newlands to con sider the antitrust legislative programme. struggled for hours today with the pro- posal of the tentative bill to prohibit in terlocking directorates. Some regulation of this kind, supplementary to the Sher- man law, it was agreed, was needed, but diverging opinions as to how rigid if should be developed among committee members.
 We want to hit the bulls eye in fram- ing this featurde of the proposed iegis- lation,' said Senator Newlands tonight. but we do not want a bill that may embody many useless restrictions or pro- wilson's that might work more harm thai, good What the line of demarkation should be as to the prohibition of inter- locking directorates is the problem first to be determined before the committee can draft measure to be submitted to Congress. On the subcommittee are able men and men of different views and it will take some to perfect the measure 1"
 The tentative bill on interlocking direc- torates. drafted after the delivery of President Wilson's message on trust leg islation, is too extreme, in the opinion of some committee members, who fear t would prohibit men In business from
