FIVE men PERISH
IN HOTEL BLAZE
Number Of Others Seriously Hurt
at KeIIiher, MINI.

Kelliher, Mimi, Feb. 5.-Five per.
sons perished and seven others are
seriously hurt as the result of the
burning of the Kelliher hotel The
dead are:
ODlN NICHOLSON, thirty-three
years old, general store clerk.
GABRIEL SCHOBERG, thirty-twe
years old, laborer
&. PRATT, homesteader.
CHARLES LARSON, laborer.
M. McQUiNN of Deer River.
Most of the injured persons were
employed at the hotel Five travel
ing men were severely cut by broken
glass when they escaped through win
dows.
The fire started from an overheated
furnace, it is believed, and was be
yond control when discovered. Most
of those who met death were sleeping
and the flames prevented the giving
of warning to some of them.
The hotel was a modern three-story
building and had the fire been dis
covered a few minutes earlier the
escape of all the occupants probably
would have been effected.

tion characterized the underworld

ney O'Brien and announced after a

where the recent grand jury, which
returned several graft indictments

teen operatives and has been at work
on the graft scandal for some time

has been in st. Paul, but he preferred
not to discuss that matter He in
timated, however, that he Is interest

Trust Prober, the First Witness,
Emphatically in Favor Of Regulation
of Stock Exchanges.
Washington, Feb. 5.-The senate
committee on banking and currency
began hearings on the Owen bill de-
signed to prohibit the use of the
mails, telegraph and telephone lines
for the furtherance of unlawful or
harmful stock exchange transactions.
Samuel Untermyer of New York
was the chief witness in advocacy of
the bill He cited numerous court
opinions and recommendations of the
house committee which favorably re-
ported a similar bill in the Sixty-sec-
ond congress.
THE only debatable propositions
| to my mind" said Mr.. Untermyer
ARE whether there can be effective
Regulation of the stock exchanges by
congress without requiring incorpora-
tion and whether, IL incorporation is
necessary, it should be directly under
federal law or whether the congress
should enforce state supervision"
Summarizes Reasons.
Reasons for Incorporating and regu-
lating the exchanges was summarized
| by Mr.. Untermyer as follows:
ITO prevent and punish the practice
| of frauds upon the public through
manipulation, matched orders, wash
sales and like fictitious transactions
iby means of which apparent values
are created for securities in the
worlds markets.
| ITO secure complete publicity of
the profits of bankers, brokers and
Intermediates in the fotation of COM
panies and the exposure of all the
salaries, commissions and other
profits of officers and directors,
Through the control of the department
of exchanges and TO prevent securi-
ties that have been once listed from
being stricken from the list without
notice and the right of review
Mr. Untermyer declared that he had
never heard any plausible argument
against according the necessary pow.
er to discover illegitimate practices OF
exchanges through access to the
books of the members.

BLACksToCk -BURREI.L

Din, ms WI NJ rNELL
Very pretty and artistic in every de-
tail was the home wedding on Tuesday
evening July Is, 1914, at the residence
of Mayor and Mrs. Joseph Blackstock
on Virginia Avenue when their eldest
son, DIR. Moore r. Black kstock was
united in marriage to Miss Mae Frances
Burrell daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. +. M.
Burrell of Dundee, Ohio. The cere-
mony which was witnessed by many in
innate friends of this popular young
couple was performed by DIR Geo. L.
Nuckolls, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, and was Immediately
followed by a sumptuous six O'Clock
dinner, after which a reception was
given in honor of the newly welded
pair by the parents of the groom which
was attended by a large number of
friends of the young people.
The brides gown was a handsome
creation of ivory white silk de meteor
with Duchess lace made en- train. Her
veil was draped with orange blossoms
and smilax, her bouquet being of bride
roses and maidenhair fern with showers
of valley lilies and sudlax. She was
attended by Miss Beryl Nutting of Pa
onia who carried white sweet peas, with
dainty little Miss Mary Ellen NuckolIs
acting as flower girl. The groom was
supported by his brother, Mr.. Bruce
Blackstock
The decorations were pink and white
clover blooms. Of which the house was
literally filed. The south end of the
living room had been transformed into
veritable floral bower. and il was
here, under three immense wedding
bells, that the solemn words were
spoken which united these two lives
forever.
The groom was graduated from the
State Agricultural College at Fort Col
Inns in 1910 with the degree of b. V. 5.
and has since practiced his profession
quite successfully. During the past
two years he has enjoyed a lucrative
practice IN Spartanburg, South Carolina.
1t is there the young couple expect TO
make their home.
The bride, who is one of Nature 5
gentlewomen, is a graduate of the State
University of Ohio. She was former
teacher in the Gunnison County High
School and has hosts of friends here as
well as in Los Angeles, California,
where she has taught successfully for
the past three years.
Gifts of silver, china. cut glass, liner
and 80 forth in bewildering array viii
serve to remind them in their new home
of the good wishes of hosts of friends
who join the News-Champion in wish.
ing them many years of happiness and
prosperity.
