THREE DIE BY FIRE.
Six Family Tenement Burns Il
Bridgeport, Conn.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, March 13.-Fire
in a six-family tenement house early
today caused the death of three men,
may result in the death OF a fourth
and endangered the lives of sixty
other persons. The dead are James
Stable, George Kocolla and John Ka-
trice.
The fire started in the basement
and ate it's way rapidly up through
the partitions. The dead men were
found suffocated and burned in a
small sleeping room on tie first floor.
The fourth man. who is now at the
hospital in a serious condition, was
found unconscious on the second
floor.
When the occupants were awak-
ened by the police they rushed panic
stricken about he building but made
no effort to leave it and had to be
driven forcibly to the street by a
large force of police. The loss by
fire was not heavy.
It was a coincidence that last night
A. H. Billiard, former fire commits
sioner of this city, in an address be-
fore a local organization. criticised
strongly BridgepOrt's fire prevention
laws, saying that such laws as existed
were not worth printing, and that.
while the fire chief might make sug-
gestions to citizens as to fire preven-
ton about their premises, he could
not compel the carrying out of the
suggestions.

TODlY'S MARK REPORTS.

Chicago. March 1s.-wHEAT-Prospect
Of liberal world shipments had bearish
influence today on wheat The forecast
was that shipment from countries other
than America would be increased. Con-
tinued favorable outlook for the domestic
winter crop tended also to discourage the
bulls. Opening prices were Nc to &c low

Rumors OF a threatened break in rela-
tons between Russia an Asutria gave the
bulls some advantage: the close was
steady at NC to Nc net advance.
CORN-Corn developed firmness on ac-
count of rural offerings being small. High
er views OF Argentine holders helped to
strengthen the market. Prices opened
unchanged to Nc on, and then gradually
hardened.
Liberal sales at Missouri River points
kept prices on an upward slant. There
were unconfirmed reports that the east

The close was steady. Nc to sc net higher.

buying.
PROVISIONS-High prices for hogs

Lard was in the best demand.

Want Better Rates.
Through the united efforts OF the
country publishers Of the state,
fight will be made for increased 1or-
eign advertising rates by virtue OF
general campaign to induce pupnsn-
ers to abandon their ready print serV-
ice which carries the bulk of the Tor
eiRn advertising. With all home
print papers, i. is claimed that in
creased advertising rates can pc Sc
cured and an effectual fight made 1or
an increased rate scale.
Weekly news letters. carrying non
partisan news items Of state wide IN
terest, will also be furnished from the
Office of the new state secretary.
Plans for circulation boosting,
plans for special editions and feature
numbers and methods of establishing
cost systems and reducing overhead
expense will be discussed by the gen.
eral supervisor Of the country press,
who must qualify as a wizard OF busi-
ness management and finance before
taking the job.
Yet the new plan is quite likely to
be adopted. The proposed salary to
the new state secretary or manager
will probably be $4,000 year. 1t is
probable that the secretary's office
would be located in Topeka, although
there is a desire among many or the
editors to place the work temporarily
in charge of the Kansas university
school Of journalism. Such action
would mean that the main office
would be maintained at Lawrence and
that the detail work for the syndicat-
ing of the interests Of the Kansas
publishers would be solved at Kansas
university. The matter will be con-
sidered at the meeting Of the State
Editorial association in Lawrence and
Manhattan in May.

IN TRAINING CAMP
Manager Gear Highly Pleased
With His New Recruits.
Weather Is GO0d-Three Look
Like Phenoms-May Stick.

Denison. Tex, March manager
Dale Gear of the Topeka club Of the
Western League probably has discov-
cred two or three phenoms among the
lot of twenty athletes who have re-
ported here for spring practice. These
prise the Topeka fans are Pitcher Flan-
nigan, who comes from Georgetown
university OF Georgetown. Tex; Catch
er Wingf1eld, a youngster from Hender-
son college at Arkadelphia: Ark. and
Pitcher klontz. who comes from south
eastern Kansas. These three young
sters have been making an excellent
showing during the few days they have
been at work here.
Dale Gear has a likely looking bunch
Of recruits on hand AZ well as several
veterans. A majority Of his men now
in camp are pitchers and catchers.
The fieldera will begin to report here
the last OF this week. Gear expects
to have a winning team this season
and is watching the working OF his
men and warns them often to not go
too hard, as they have month to
work out in.
Many visitors spend the morning
it is an interesting sight to see the
men trying for both teams working
out for positions which they wish to
hold down. Higgfnbotham, who
pitched many an excellent game for
Denison last year. is working out
with Topeka and, though he has con-
siderable opposition. has fine
chance to make the team.
With the arrival Of Pitcher Pepper
Clark. and Catchers Rapps. McAllister
and Garrett, Manager Gear has about
20 men In camp and no more are ex-
pected until next week when the in
fielders and outnelders aro supposed to
report. The advance guard will begin
reporting about Sunday and all are due
by Wednesday and probably as early
as Tuesday.
Manager Gear is highly pleased with
the work Of Catcher Bill Rapps and
the first workout Of Pitcher Clark.
Wingheld, thu college catcher from
Arkansas. has wonderful throwing
arm and is a good receiver. He appears
to have excellent judgment and prom
ises to become q wonderful catcher.
Pitcher Earl Bhnnigan from George
town university, was not given very
much consideration when he first re-
ported but his work is attracting the
attention Of Manager Gear and Sport
McAllister. He probably will ac-
company the team WHOM the players
start north. Pitcher Klontz also is
making a wonderful showing and has
proven to be one OF the surprises Of
the recruit bunch.
