SPAIN SAID TO BE ON
VERGE OF FOOD FAMINE

MADRID, March S.-The economic
situation in Spain is becoming steadily
more serious Notwithstanding the eff
forts of the government to find a so
luton for the difficulties which con
front the country. 1t is feared in some
quarters that conditions soon will be-
come so bad that they may lead to a
conflict fraught with grave conse-
quences
Dispatches from the provinces tell
of numerous riots resulting from the
high cost of food. In some interior
districts and in the Canary islands the
people get food only every other day.
Many families are said to be living on
herbs and roots.
A woman, said to have been driven
mad by privation, drowned herself
with her children at LaZaretos
Fierce rioting resulted at Lacele
from the increased price of bread.
The civil guards are reported to have
fired into the crowd, killing one and

EDISON DISCOVERED
FIRE IN HIS PLANT

WEST ORANGE, ~ j.. March s.
Thomas Edison at work in his labora-
tory after midnight today discovered
fire in one of the buildings of his
great plant here and summoned the
ilremen i'll time to prevent what
might have been serious loss. The
fire practically destroyed building
where the most valuable phonograph
records were stored, but most of the
records, which were in concrete
vault, were saved
When he saw the flames Mr.. Edi-
son dashed out of the laboratory in
his shirt sleeves and stood outside
directing the hremen for some time
before his wife and son who arrived
from the Edison residence nearby
could persuade him to put on an over
coat The inventor was soaked to
the skin by a hose which twisted out
of the hands of the fire fighters and
fell within few feet of hims
The combined efforts of fire DEPART
ments of West Orange and Orange
We're required to subdue the blaze.
The building burned was the only one
not touched by the conhagration
which nearly Wiped .ut the Edison
plant last December.

WANTED To ASK
PHILLIPS Tho.
WAS SHOOTING
OPERATOR WAS IN
FEW FEET OF HIM AND DID
NOT KNOW THAT HE WAS ON
RAMPAGE.

O. c. Gilbert, operator at the Of
flee of the Postal Telegraph Company,
was probably nearer to Monroe Phil
lips while he was on his murderous
rampage Saturday morning than any
other man. and it was not realized
by the operator even at the time that
Phillips was doing all the shooting,
but rather he thought that he had
secured the shotgun and was after
a murderer.
Gilbert was in the office, which
adjoins the office of Albert Fendig
Il Co. He heard the shots upstairs
but did not leave the office at the
time Later, after Padgett had been
killed and after Phillips had gone into
the office of Mr. Fendig. Gilbert came
to the door. The rapid-firing had
temporarily ceased then. When he
reached the door Phillips was standing
not over ten feet from him and was
in the act of loading ais gun. NJ.
Gilbert stated yesterday that he was
sure that Phillips had joined in a
chase for the murderer. In a second
Officer Barnes opened fire from up the
street. The operator said he then
thought that some one, hidden, was
trying to shoot Phillips. He did not
know Phillips at the time. 81 was just
about to ask Phillips who was doing
all the shooting when he turned to-

DR.. c. v. BLANTON
STOO D IN DOOR
AND SAW SHOOTING
HE SAYS PHILLIPS WOULD SHOOT
ONLY ONE BARREL AND THEN
RELOAD HIS BIG TEN-GAUGE
SHOTGUN.

Dr. G. w. Blanton, city hospital
surgeon, who has of cousse, been one
of the busiest men in Brunswick since
Saturday morning, was one of the
closest men to Monroe Phillips when
he did all of the shooting Saturday
morning, and he saw him fire many
shots
81 was in my office in the Kress
building when the shooting started"
said DR.. Blanton yesterday to a News
representative. AT first | thought it
wa an automobile tire and paid little
attention to i. Then | heard two
more shots. / started down the steps

me not to go on the sidewalk, stating
that Phillips was shooting everybody

of the stairs. and, looking down the
street, saw him leveling his big, ugly
looking gun. l stepped back and as
| did ! heard a report of the gun. /

corner, firing at Phillips. After he

Phillips swung toward him. Tsee you.

fired Barnes darted around the cor
ner. Then Phillips shot three or four
times in every direction"
Dr. D!anton says he stood III the
doorway and he thought that possibly
after Phillips had fired both barrels
he and others could run up and over
power him before he could reload his
gun. But every time he would only
shoot once" continued the physician
"He would shoot once, break his gun
and place in one shell, therefore it
would have been impossible for him
to have been overpowered. After
shooting until he had practically clear
ed the streets | saw him go into
Branch's drug store Then ] stepped
out on the sidewalk 1t was then
young Deaver arrived on the scene,
and it is my belief that the officer

street | saw him endeavorihg to
shoot through Branch's window, and
he looked to me as though he was
J then wounded. He fired two or three
times, then ! heard a loud report from
Phillips gun and the brave young
officer tumbled over on the sidewalk.
1t was just a second later when 1
heard three or four pistol shots and
then one report of a shotgun and the
firing ceased
