,O'HARRA BEGINS
ARGUMENT TODAY
Lancaster Made Wonderful Appeal for
Pfanschmidt's Life-Jury Gets

PRINCETON, ILL.,, Feb. 17.-When
Attorney Emery Lancaster yesterday
afternoon at o'clock finished his
plea for the liberty Of Ray Plan

dress as tn, most eloquent and fore
ible ever delivered before Bureau
county jury.
Attorney Lancaster created a pro-
found impression by his masterful
talk. He started shortly after court
adjourned Monday at noon. An entire
court day was needed by the Quincy
attorney and he played upon the emo
ton Of the crowded court room like a
master musician upon a delicate In
strument
Attorney Spaulding Of Princeton fol
lowed Attorney Lancaster and made
the closing argument for the prisoner.
The Princeton barrister addressed the
jury until he was exhausted and short
" before o'clock asked the court
Tor adjournment So he could regain
his strength.
A prisoner at the bar never received
greater oraticns for his life than Ray
Pfanschmidt during the present trial.
Judge Davis declares the talks to be
without an equal so far as he is able
to remember.
Attorney Spaulding Is expected to
finish by adjournment today at noon
after which the anxiously awaited
closing argument for the prosecution
VIII be started by Attorney O'Harra
OF Carthage, who has won the admi
ration of Bureau county officials and
residents for his fairness and clever
ness as an attorney.

Jurors In behalf Of the people Is ex
pected to be masterpiece and the

NEW YORK, Feb. To-day be.
ing naturally the date at which the
German office, rather than the Ger

to our governments protest against
the war zone" threat at neutral
ships, the stock exchange naturally
rested on its oars. This off cial reply,
though stated by the cables to be in
the hands of our ambassador at Berlin
was not made public during business
hours. Wall street therefore had to
content itself with conjectuTes as to
whether the German governments
reply would be wholly concilliatory
or would be explanatory without con-
ceding anything or would take a fatty
uncompromising tone. Since no one
believed the third alternative to be
conceivable with the matter at last
in the hands of sober diplomats, the
stock exchange merely waited to see
whether the reply, while courteous,
would be such as to close the episode
or such as to keep open all of its If

CALL IT A FIRE TRAP

The many predictions of the burning
OF the Estes building at Fifth and
Main streets came near being fulfilled
shortly before noon today when
small fire started in a remote room on
the fifth floor, caused by an overhead
ed defective flue. The fire was discov.
cred by accident just before it broke
out in flames. Had the discovery been
delayed few minutes longer it seems
certain the building would have been
burned to the ground
Boards on the floor next to the fiue
were smoldering when discovered by
Fireman Walter Garrison, after an
alarm had been sent in few moments
before by some one who had seen the
smoke In the building. When the de-
partment reached the building, search
was first made on the roof where 1t
was believed the fire had started.
Failing to flnd any traces OF the fire
there, systematic search of the
building was made. Garrison discover
ed the smoldering embers in room
on the fifth flocr. The chemical en-
CINE was used in putting 1t out.
When the boards at this place were
torn up by members of the fire de-
partment it was discovered that by
some miracle fire had not been start
ed In the same Ilace before. The
boards and floor beams. next to the
f1re at this place had been charred
so badly at some time in the past that
one beam was nearly entirely eaten
away. For some reason the embers
had never broken out in flames and
when the heat of the fue had been
reduced. the embers died out.
The fifth floor of this building in
which the fire was discovered today
and the floor below it is entirely va
cant. There is but one occupant on
the third floor. The place is describ-
ed by members of the department as
a veritable fire trap and they predict
that il a fire ever gets good start in
this building, that It will be remarkable
II any building in this block is saved.
