Sees Hand Of God In Fire.

Fire, like a swift judgment, trailed
Emma Goldman on the stage OF the
big labor auditorium in Paterson, N.
J., when the anarchist queen, in
wild TRADE against Billy Sunday, led
about 1000 reds and radicals in
revel of blasphemies, and little now
remains OF TIE building but a shed.
At 10 o'clock Emma Goldman and
Ben Rc;tman, her man Friday, were
reviiing Christ ald sending up ironlc
prayers to God, while the place rock
ed in mcrriment At 12 o'clock the
walls and the roof were falling in.
Ben Reitmun al the close OF the meet
ing teetered on his toes at the front
of the stage and demanded to know
if there were to be no trail hitters.
"Who'll say a good word for Je-
sus?" Ben demanded. There was no
answer. Poor Jesus" said Ben. "No
one tc back him up? No one to take
his part?'
In less than an hour the building
was a roaring torch that lit Paterson
for blocks about. Hundreds OF frame
dwellings in the neighborhood were
th.c@ten-t. The building, known as
T"ra T>.i, was destroyed, with a loss
c>..:.aa.et at $4,000. 1t was four stor-
is high, included dwelling quarters
and a saloon, and has been the scene
OF al big strike meetings for years.
Il was the headquarters and meeting
place OF anarchists and radicals in
ard ahoHt Paterson. The place has
been 62uaged by fire on three other
occasions.
The building was at Ellison and
Cross streets, in the heart of the So
called "red section" The owners say
the fire was started by an incendiary.
There are t&cse in Paterson who say
it was thc and of God.
Tie police have increased the police
guard at Sundays tabernacle by an
extra detail OF plain clothes men, III
the belief that red sympathizers, at.
tributing the fire to an incendiarY,
may torch the tabernacle.

OPTION BILL
Brumbaugh Measure Loses,
120 to 70.
ONLY one FAILED TO VOTE
The Result Is Regarded by Some as
Reproof to Governors Efforts TO
Coerce Members.

The Williams local option bill was
defeated by the house OF representa-
tivcs in Harrisburg, Pa, by vote OF
12S to IS.
In the hardest fought, most spec
tacu!ar and most determined leGlsla-
tive battle of years, which easily took
precedence in the efforts PennsylVa'
mia has made, spasmodically, to shake
off the liquor business, a stinglng de-
feat was administered to Governor
Brumbaugh, WHO had pinned his 1alth
to the Williams bill, and had exhaust
ed every effort to force it through the
house.
The end came after the two hours
originally set aside for debate had
been stretched, by general consent,
into nearly four hours.
Only one member failed to vote,
James Maurer, Of Reading, president
of the State Federation OF Labor and
the only Socialist in the house.
The vote received by local option
was five less than for the bill in 1913,
when the vote was: Ayes, SO; noes,
121. In 1911 the vote On local option
was: Ayes, rs; noes, 127.
Every one Of the 2O7 members OF
the house was in his seat when the
roll call vote wa staken. The vote was
received with cheers when it was an
nounced by Speaker Amber.
Growing interest in the suggestion
of D. Clarence. Gibboney, of Philadel'
phia, that liquor dealers should be
compensated for financial losses when
forced out of business by the vote OF
the people was manifested in the fact
that a number Of members, speaking
against the Williams bill, advocated
the compensation principle. A bill EN-
bodying Gibboney's ideas is before the
committee Gil law and order.
The result was generally regarded
as a reprC0f to Governor Brumbaugh
for his alleged efforts to coerce mem
bers OF the hcues TO vote for the Dill.
Most Of tie opponents CT the Dill mad
estimated that the governor would be
able to muster at least eighty votes
for it, while mary allowed him ninety
in their estimates. That the vote fell
short o: these estimates of its oppon-
ents was regarded as surprising. The
failure Of Senator Ware to make a
public stand for or against the bill
was regardel by many as having con-
siderable effect in leaving "Vare mem
bers" free to vote as they felt.

NEW RUSSIAN DRIVE
Austrians Claim to ave Repulsed Mus

Austrians Claim to ave hepulseo MUS
covites Near Uszok Pass.
The following official communica-
tion was issued by the war Office in
Vienna:
"On the Carpathian front fresh at,
tacks against our positions on both
sides OF the Uszok pass were repuls-
ed. In these violent attacks the en-
emy suffered heavy losses before our
positions at the top Of the pass, which
were attacked several times. More
than 400 dead were left, while 1900
Russians were captured"
(The above is the first indication
that the Russians have reached the
Uszok pass. The approaches to this
watershed, according to all accounts,
have been defended vigorously by the
Austrians and Germans, and all pre-
vious reports had indicated that tho
czar's armies have been held back a
least ten miles from the top.)

GERMANS MAKE GAINS
Capture -Four Villages and Take Many
Prisoners In Flanders.

Prisoners In Flanders.
Marked gains by the Germans Ill
Flanders are announced in the report
from the German general staff.
The report says that the villages
Of Langemarck, Steenstraate, Het Saa
and Piliken were captured Thursday
by the kaiser's troops.
In the recent operations German
troops have taken 1000 prisoners and
thirty cannon from the French and
English, the report adds.
In addition to capturing the four VIII
lagos the Germans have crossed the
Ypres canal again, according to the
official statement.
Announcement Of the capture OF the
four Flanders towns was the first Ber
lin official confederation Of reports
that the German troops had opened a
new offensive toward Ypres and the
User canal. Piliken is less than four
miles north OF Ypres. The Germans
now hold the region east of Ypres, and
success in the present movement will
force the evacuation of that town by
the allies. Steenstraate and Het Sas
are villages on the east bank Of the
User canal. The former commands an
important highway.
The British forces have shown no
disposition under the repeated rushes
of the Germans to relax their grip on
Hill No. so, near Ypres, and the fight
ing in this locality shows signs of de-
veloping along the wide front with
increasing intensity, even riValling the
attempts of the Germans to break
through the British lines last fall.

7HAIH GETS JURY
TRIAL ON SANITY
Court Grants Application Made
BY Prisoner,
TRIAL SET FOR MAY II
"Fine News For Mother" He Says
When He Hears Decision of the
Judge.

Judge.
The question of the sanity of Harry
Kendall Thaw will be determined by
a jury.
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick, in
a decision handed down in New York,
granted the application for a trial
made by tt avs attorneys on writ OF
habeas corpus.
Justice Hendrick set the date Of
the sanity trial for May IT..
This trial will be with view OF
aiding the court in deciding later as to
whether the prisoner should be set at
large or should be taken from the
Tombs back to the State Asylum for
the Criminal Insane at Matteawan,
from which he once escaped.
Thaw's lawyers declared, however,
that the decision of the court assured
Thaw his freedom, and they express
ed no doubt of the jury's decision.
Thaw was in court when Justice
Hendrick announced his opinion. His
face at once lighted up with pleasure.
His attorneys, friends and others IN
the court room rushed to congratulate
him, and he was kept busy for nearly
half an hour shaking hands before ne
was taken back to the Tombs.
at will be good news TO my moth
er," he told the newspaper men;
that's all l care to say for publlca-
tion."
The moot question which Justice
Hendrick had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant jury
trial. He held, after study of the au'
thorities, that he did have such power
and has decided to exercise it. He
pointed out in the decision that the
Jury was called in ito aid the court
by their advice" and that the finding
of the jury would not be binding If
the court was satisfied that it was not
in accordance with the evidence and
with justice. The court, he said, could
disregard the jury's verdict and rem
der his own decision.
AS Thaw left the court room to
return to the Tombs he was compelled
to shake hands with more than 200
persons who crowded about to con-
graduate him. Thaw's return to the
Tombs was in marked contrast with
former journeys to that prison. He
was cheered by hundreds who had
heard the news that he was to be
given a chance for freedom. Even
the newsboys on Center street shout
ed their congratulations as ThaW
walked toward the prison.
