ECHOES OF THE FIRE.
New Buildings will Take the Place Of
Those Burned. Only $4,000
Insurance.

A new Hermanville will ris'
from the ashes of the old one. Th'
bank and business houses des
troYed by fire last week will be re
built. probably on a better and
safer scale.
/ The Reveille's estimate of the
total loss-$5o, ,ooo-was correct,
bat there was only $4,000 insur-
ance. the high rate of s and 10 per
cent being practically prohibitive.
w. L. Short, of the firm of Short
& Pittman, was the heaviest loser.
The firm carried only $4,000 of
insurance, and the loss was SI4, 500.
Mr.. Short and Mr.. Pittman had
dissolved partnership the day the
FIRE occurred. Mr.. Short became
the sole owner of the Hermanville
business, while Mr.. Pittman took
the store at Shaw as his part. How
ever, with a magnanimity worthy
of the highest praise, Mr.. Pittman
telephoned his former partner that,
Notwithstanding they had agreed
to dissolve partnership, the agree.
ment was off, and that be would
stand the loss equally with him.
With an equally fine spirit, Mr..
Short declined to allow him to do
so.
Clark Bros, owners of the J. D.
Millsaps Co. business, carried about
90 per cent insurance. w. Q.
Thomas & Co. carried about so
per cent. The bank was pretty
we'll insured, and its losses were
nominal. 6. B. Flowers carried
no insurance, nor did any of the
other losers, except the railroad.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
bank and all of the stores will be
rebuilt and re-opened.

SPECIAL PRIVILEGES IN CITIES

Judge Ben F. Linsey of Denver ad- dressed the City club at the Union league on the people and the public utilities.
 Judge Lindsey emphasized the fact that the public utility problem may be solved by municipal ownership. He said he was not against the men seeking valuable privileges, such as the public utilities afford in every city, but was against the condition
 which makes such privileges possi- ble." Judge Linsey said:
 "The most corrupting thing in every community is the special privi- lege, but so long as a city places the temptation of such a privilege within the reach of it's citizens, it must ex- pect that some of them will take ad- vantage of the opportunity offered The remedy is, take away the temptation. The people must take steps to secure the ownership of their
 own means for wealth which the pub ! lie utility corporations heretofore have 1 tried and are still trying to control Not until you get rid of this form of

 Relative to New Haven
[AssOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

NEW YORK, May 27.-George F. Baker, one of the chief powers of Wall street affairs, regarded as the closest personal friend of the late J.

William Skinner. who has been closely identified with the affairs of the New Haven for some years was also examined.
 Although Folk would not discuss the testimony it was learned from an au- thoritative source that Baker and Skinner corroborated the story told by Mellen, former president of the New Haven, when he appeared at the hear ing of the commission in Washing ton, insofar as it concerned their own individual actions Folk came to New York primarily to make arrangements with Francis Lynde Stetson, repre- senting J. F. Morgan Company, for an exhaustive examination of the books, accounts and memoranda of the banking firm relative to the New Haven, and it's subsidiary companies.

SUPREME COURT AFFlRMs
 DECISION IN HESS CASE
Action Arising Out of Recall oi Yuma County Superintendent
 Is Finally Settled

What are probably the final an nals in an interesting case were
 written yesterday when the supreme court affirmed the decision of the superior court of Yuma county in the
 case of the state of Arizona on the
 relation of John M. Hess, appellant, vs. C. Louise Boehringer, appellee
 The action is one arising out of the recall of Hess as county superinten- dent of Yuma county and the sub
 sequent attempt on his part to be
 re-instadted After the recall of
 Hess, Miss Boehringer who was the candidate on the socialist ticket was
 elected to the office. The ruling of
 the supreme court affirms the deci-
 sion of the lower court that after
 action had been brought on relation
 of the plaintiff by the state and the
 action dismissed, appellant could
 not substitute his own name for that
 of the state as was requested. The case is one that attracted considera- ble attention both in Yuma county
 and throughout the state The rul- ing of the supreme court is as fol- lows:
 Tn the case of the State of Ari-
 zona on the relation of John NJ.
 Hess, appellant, against C. Louise
 Boehringer, appellee, the supreme court filed it's opinion affirming the
 Judgment of the superior court of Yuma county. In this case after obtaining permission of the judge of the superior court appellant insti-
 tuted his action against the appellee for the office of county superinten- dent of Yuma county in his own name Thereafter he asked leave of the court to amend his complaint by substituting as the party plaintiff, for himself. the State of Arizona on his relation
 Thereupon, on motion of appellee, the court ordered the dismissal of the | action for the reason that it had
 been instituted and was being prose- cuted in the name of the state with out legal authority first having been obtained, which contention was up-
 held by the court and the action dismissed without prejudice. After l the case was dismissed the appellant requested leave to amend his com plaint by substituting his name for
 that of the state, but the superior court held that as the action had been dismissed here was nothing to
 amend, which ruling was affirmed by | the supreme court"

Band Plays for Victors

TORREON, May 27.-The military band of the vanquished played for the victors of the battle of Paredon when to camp last night from the cam paign against Saltillo At the heels of the constitutionalist soldiers scuffed several hundred federal soldiers and the federal band captured in the at tack on the federal troops trains at Zerucho They will be given the choice of joining the constitutionalist army or being set free.
 As they have no means of finding their comrades far to the south and no way of getting food and clothing, they probably will join the revolu tionary army.
 The troops continued to pour into TOrreon from the country north of Saltillo. As soon as possible after they arrive they will be sent south again to sweep up the remnants of the Huerta army. They are being sent over the old Mexican Central railroad line which it is said, is in good condition and which offers the best and quickest means of trans porting the troops to the country through which the constitutionalists must pass on their way to the MeXi- can capital. The troops are being sent toward Zacatecas where force of federals is opposing the men con- manded by General Natera. Rumors reached here that the federals have evacuated Zacatecas.

TRIAL OF HULL HOUSE WORKER
STARTS-CALLED A FARCE

The case against Ellen Gates Starr,
Hull House worker, arrested for SYM
pathizing with the striking girl wait
resses at Henrici's, went to the jury
in Judge Martins courtroom today.
Attorney Harold L. Ickes, repre-
senting Miss Starr, argued that a
finding of guilty in her case would be
denial of the right of free speech
and the ignoring of the United States
constitution.
''The prosecution of Miss Starr has
been farce from beginning to end, -
said the attorney. when the police
first arrested her they didn't know
what to charge her with. Finally she
was booked as disorderly. And later
it was changed to interfering with
police officer in the discharge of his
duties.
IF she hadn't been bailed out after
wards she probably would have been
booked for assault with intent to kill.
There is only one issue here-the
right of free speech. Miss Starr as
an American citizen merely voiced
protest against the arrest of the girl
mattresses and she was dragged to
the station"
