St. Louis, March 9-Between 30 fire which destroyed the Missouri Athletic Club and Boatman's Bank building this morning.
 Officials of the Club, at the check ing up all day, announced that there was no hope that the twenty-five re- ported missing could have escaped. Eight bodies are at the morgue.
 In order to lose no time in the work of rescue, arrangements were made to continue the work all night Four powerful search lights will betrain- ed upon the ruins, and fresh relief corps recruited from the outlying companies will supplant the iremen who have been on duty all day. The police squad of fifty men was reliev- ed by fresh squad at eleven o'clock tonight.
 After the streams of water were turned off the ruin on the Fourth street side, firemen with axes and picks made their way to the floors to hew an opening between the wedge of collapsed upper floors in a search for bodies.
 Floors damned Together.
 Assistant Fire Chief Kicker said that the feature of the fire which pre- sents the greatest difficulty in the work of recovering the bodies is that when the upper four floors collapsed they piled on each other, slanting in the center toward the basement, so that the streams played upon the deb riss poured off the top tier of floors into the basement, leaving the fire still burning fercely between the closely-packed floors. He believes whatever bodies are still in the ruins will be found in the basement or crushed between the timbers of the collapsed floors.
 Examination of one unidentified body showed the man had shot him. self when trapped in the burning building. A bullet hole showed be- hind the ear, although the body was frightfully burned.
 Gas Main Is Blamed. The flames which caused the worst holocaust in the history of St. Louis, began at 1850 p. m. when six inch gas main is believed to have burst in the club kitchen on the third floor and the flames. following the explo- sion burst straight through the build- ing to the roof. Henry c. Henley and Chief Swingley agreed on the gas ex- plosion theory as most probable.
 The electric wires became short-cir- cuited according to the survivors and

St. Petersburg, March 9.-Maxim Gorki, the novelist. who recently re- turned to Russia, is said to be in the last stages of consumption and the news of his death is expected at al most any moment The doctors who attended him at Capri and Naples gave him up and advised his compan- ion, Mme. Andreyewa, to have him re- turn to Russia. She persuaded him to accept the pardon which the Rus- sian government granted him, and in January, he set out for Moscow by easy stages.
 Since his return his condition has been gradually becoming worse, it is said, and his death is now matter of months, perhaps days.

Belgrade. Servia. March 9.-All hope of Russo-Servian marriage al- nance seems gone since the return of Grown Prince Alexander from the court of Czar Nicholas. 1t was an open secret that his mission in St.. Petersburg was to contract an en- gagement with one of the Czar's daughters, but his reception by the Russian Grand Duchesses was decid- edly cool.

Bryan Says Nothing.

Washington, March 9.-Brought face to face with the mute evidence of the horrible crime, the State De- partment after learning of the !src- menious death of Clement Veragara, an American citizen at the hands of Mexicans, decided "to do nothing for the present"
 Confronted with the fact that Veragara was lured from his ranch and killed on American soil, an island in the Rio Grande, Secretary when urged to tell what would be done merely replied:
 "We have nothing to announce"
 In following the records at the State Department it was learned that Secretary told this much about Vera gara's case:
 First-That Veragara was un- mercifully murdered. d That his brains were beaten out, with, a. rifle butt, his left arm was burned while he still lived, his body ridded with bullets and thel hanged.
 Second-That the name of those who willfully murdered veragara, are in the possession. of the United States.

INSURANCE wins.
Fire Companies Receive Decision for
Higher Rates.

The fire insurance companies have
won a complete victory in the supreme
court of Kansas in their fight for high
er rates. The reduction orders OF
Charles Barnes former superintendent
Of Insurance. which were issued in 1903
and 1910, are set aside in an opinion
rendered by the court
The only chance now remaining for
Kansas to maintain the present rates
is for the superintendent of insurance
to issue 4 new reduction order Ike
Lewis. superintendent, is making an
investigation of the rate proposition.
The supreme court of the United States
has upheld the Kansas law giving the
superintendent the right to regulate
rates, basing his regulation on the
showing made by the companies in
their annual reports.
The companies, although complying
with the reduction orders issued by
Barnes in 1909 and 1910, insisted that
the order was not properly made and
was unjust In June, 1913, they filed
suit in the Shawnee county district
court to have the orders set aside, con-
tending that they were doing business
at a loss.
The restoration of the old rates
means an increase of Is per cent on
mercantile risks and Is per cent on
dwellings. Missouri, Oklahoma and
Colorado will then be paying lower
rates, while Nebraska and Iowa have
the same as Kansas.

TRY THIS IF YOU
HAVE DANDRUFF
Or Are Bothered With Falling Hair
Or Itching Scalp.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain, ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning most. if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will complete
~ dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and, trace of it. no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
0tantly and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy. silky and soft and
look and feel a hundred times better
If you want to keep your hair look
ing ricn. do by all means get rid of
dandruff. for nothing destroys the hair
SO quickly. 1t not only starves the
hair and makes it fall out. but it
makes it stringy. straggiy, dull, dry,
brittle and lifeless. and everybody no.
tees it. You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
: four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
to fail.-Adv.

SOUTHERN IMPOSED upon.
DULANEY ON, STAND IN COAL
FREIGHT INVESTIGATION
TELLS HOW SOUTH HAS
BEEN HURT,
Says That Southern Railway purch.
ascd Small Lines at Big COst-Says
That it Has Been Manipulated Much
as New Haven Was in North.

Washington, July 22.-Charges that
the Southern railway has been i'm
posed upon much as the New Haven
Is said to have been through the un.
loading upon it of branches Of little
worth were an unexpected feature to.
day in the inquiry which the senate
subcommittee is making into alleged
discrimination against the Southern in
coal rates.
B. L. Dulaney Of Bristol, Va. Tenn.
made the charges in connection with
an explanation Of why he believed the
Morgan interest dominated the South
ern railway and directed the action
of it's officials.
He finished his direct statement to
the committee today. but will go on
the stand tomorrow to undergo cross
examination by attorneys for the
Southern railway.
Mr.. Dulaney said he once offered
to sell the control Of the Virginia G.
Southwestern railway to the Southern
for 100000. A bond issue of ST.
100000 stood against the line. His
offer was refused. he said, but later
Henry McHarg sold the line to the
Southern for about s6,5O0, 900, with
profit estimated at $4,OOO,OOO.
Phe Knoxville & Bristol railway,
sold to the Southern for 100000, Mr..
Dulaney said, was offered him for
$4,000, and he did not buy because
he did not think the line worth that
amount.
Mr.. Dulaney testified at length in
support of his charge that coal is be-
ing diverted from Southern ports.
Goal operators are robbed Of their
right to do normal business" he
said. Unless some relief he granted,
1T will be necessary for independent
operators to give up their efforts.
They can not meet such unfavorable
conditions"
He testified he sold the Black Noun
tain railway, short line tapping the
Black Mountain coal field, to the Vir-
ginia & Southwestern railway, under
a contract with the president of the
latter line, H. K. McHarg, providing
that the Louisville & Nashville rail-
way should have the use Of the line.
This was done. the witness said, to
preserve two outlets to the. South for
his coal.
Mr.. McHarg failed to advise the
Louisville & Nashville of the agree
ment, he added, and was very angry
when Mr.. Dulaney gave the infor.na-

FAILED IN EFFORTS no AID
CHARLESTON

Washington, July 22.-In his test,.
mony here today before the senate
naval affairs committee on the Till.
man resolution investigating discrim.
lnation against certain Atlantic sea.
port cities, B. L. Dulaney OF Bristol
Va.-Tenn, told the committee that
he had repeatedly asked the officials
or the Southern railway, including the
late President Finley, to make Char
lesion a port for the outgoing ship
ment of coal, but without success.
The Southern railway. he saia
claimed lack Of funds as it's excuse
for not erecting the necessary docks
and piers at Charleston for handling
the coal. He said that he offered to
raise the money and build the piers,
but the company replied that it did
not think it would be wise to have q
private company own these facilities.
Then, Mr.. Dulaney said, he offered
to raise the money and let the
Southern railway hold the property,
issuing bonds for it. But this, too, was
rejected. He insisted that the action
of the Southern was part of q plot to
prevent shipments of coal from the
Black Mountain field, in which he
and other independent operators are
interested, for the benefit of the So
called "coal trust" ... :.
Mr.. Dulaney told of selling the
Black Mountain road, some 80 miles
long, to the Virginia & Southwestern,
now a subsidiary line of the South
ern, with the understanding that the
shipment OF coal to tidewater was to
Charleston in particular would be
forthcoming. Promises had been
made him, he said by officials both Of
the Virginia & Southwestern and of
the Southern, before the sale of the
Black Mountain road was made He
testified that the distance from Ap-
palachia, the centre of the coal field.
to Norfolk, Va, by which all the coal
is now shipped to .tidewater, is 1872.
miles, while the distance from AID.
palachia to harleston is 467 miles,
yet coal intended for Charleston is
sent down to Norfolk and then by
water to Charleston. .'' -
