FIRE
Sweeps the Interior Of the Store Of J,
). LingCnfelser on East Second
Street This Morning mt an
Early Hour.

About 1 o'clock this morning the
store of Mr. ]. J. Lingenfelser on East
Second street pas partially destroyed
by fire. No estimate could be made
, as to the total loss but 1t will be very
large.
The family were sleeping in the
rooms directly above the store. Mrs.
Lingenfelser was awaken by smoke
fumes. Hastily arousing the rest of
the family they ran down stairs with
out stopping to fully dress They found
the entire interior of the store room in
flames and upon attempting to return
to the upstairs to get their clothes
they found that they were unable to do
so. An alarm was Immediately turned
in and the Kinney Mac responded as
quickly as possible. Mr.. Lingenfelser
had had some Roadway toward extin-
gushing the fire with water and the
firemen finished the work with chemi-
Gals.
The entire interior of the store was
completely ruined. 1t was indeed for
tunate that no coal oil or gasoline was
stored in the building or disastrous re-
suits might have occurred. Mr.. Ling
enfelser had Just put in a new stock
Of canned goods and had fixed up the
store generally. His loss will be very
great.
This is the second time Mr.. Lingen-
felser has sustained a large loss by fire
within the past three years. Recently
he lost home on East Second street
by fire.

Except in the event of some excep-

Mr.. Rowell conceded the state after
reviewing returns showing a plurality

These returns showed forty-two of

state returns have been back-checked

Efforts continued through the night

missing for days, IL was said. The

to communicate from Placeville, forty

STOCKHOLDERS OF CUB TEAM
MAY OVERTHROW TINKER
BY Mark Shields

0OITIGHIl6lG Oll GllC AlSA A%AAl W WI
befuddIed brain it appears there was
something of a mix-up yesterday,
with various gents seeking approval
of the dear pee-pul. But this be-
fuddIement is mild compared to our
tangled state regarding the 1917
status of Joe Tinker, manager of the
Cubs.
On alternate days Joe again heads
the team, only to be shifted to dis
tant spot the succeeding morning.
This is one of his days to be hang
ing on the ragged edge, with his fate
in the hands of, the army of Cub
stockholders.
The Chicagoan who doesn't own
stock in the Cubs is an unimportant
parsonage. And every stockholder
seems to think himself a capable
baseball executive, wise to the fine
points of the game and eager to give
the benefit of his knowledge to the
technical pilot of the crew.
There were persistent rumors d ur-
ing the 1916 campaign that some of
the directors were taking too active
part in the actual playing end of the
team. There were reports that Think
er was being given advice on how
to conduct. affairs, with the intima-
ton that this advice was the only real
baseball wisdom, and that to ignore
it would be fatal.
SNow, Tinker isn't a man who pays
much heed. to these stOckholding
managers. He works on the theory
that he is hired to manage the team,
and wants to do so as long as he
holds down the job. When Joe was
boss in Cincinnati some of the di-
rectors were jerTy-on-the-iob with
advice and became so persistent that
Joe ordered them from the clubhouse
and threatened chastisement if they
didn't stay away.
1t wasn't necessary to go to this

the following year. Here In chicago
he has not been driven to such a cor
ner, but there is no doubt these I'M
official managers have gotten on his
nerves.
The teams record for 1916 shows
that it was a much better performer
away from heme than on the North
Side, When this record was being
established it was broadly limited that
the men did better abroad because
they were without the influence Of
the disadvantages and Tinker
could exercise mis- own judgment in
handling what material he had.
These stockholders are to have a
meeting Monday and there are
rumors of radical changes. One re-
port has it that President Weegh-
man, strong Tinker admirer, the man
who persuaded Joe to hop to the
Federal league, may resign the presi-
dency. It is said some Of the stock
holders have brought pressure to
bear on Weeghman against Tinker
and the executive will quit before he
show ingratitude to Tinker by not
renewing Joe's contract.
This, of course, is only rumor and
has nothing definite to back it. But
it is plausible. Weeghman could re-
tire gracefully by pleading pressure
of other business. He would hardly
STAY if Tinker was forced out.
In any event, the meeting next
Monday will be full of interest to the
fans because of the bearing it will
have on the playing future of the
club.

The announcement that the lone bidder on the Alaska aerial mail service proposals will be granted an opportunity to try his hand at the new method of trans portation in spite of his failure 10 comply with the letter of the specifications is conclusive evi- dence that the department is
 greatly interested in the possibil- ities of the aeroplane as solu- ton of the problem of how to furnish a satisfactory service to remote and isolated points. It is also an excellent indication that the department will not allow the matter to drop if the Iditarod bidder is unable to meet require ments. As usual thing the gov crnment displays little inclina- ton to allow concessions in mat ters of any nature, where bids are involved.

service to the de- partmental waste paper basket. In the present case, however, the bosses are facing a problem that cannot be disre- garded. The clamor that has gone up concerning the inadequacies of the Alaska mail service dur ing the past year or two has con vinced them that something must be done to allay the storm of pro test that has come out of Alaska and has found most imperative echo in all corners of the land. It Is this echo that counts, not the insistent howl of the people of Alaska. Were the complaints of Alaskans to be alone consider ed we would probably receive as little relief as the department could possibly bestow or none whatever. The history of ear Tier efforts to attract department al notice is proof of the assertion. But it so happens that the weak and pitiful voice of Alaska has been taken up by those who are able to command respect and the resultant chorus has grown so loud that the official ears can no longer refrain from hearing. The lattle snow ball from Alaska has started an avalanche that has spread beyond the Alaska shores and assumed proportions that can not be overcome by reasonable service" assurances.
 We can pat ourselves On the back and think that we did 1t but, although we were the prime movers, 1t was the voice of the big outside taking up our feeble plaint that did the business. And
 with this mighty voice behind us we are practically assured of change of some character. It may not take the form of an aero plane service, though we are in clined to think it will, but, in any case, We may feel reasonably certain that there will be decided
 relief of some kind within the
 present year. The granting Of concessions to the Iditarod bid der indicates that the postal off cials are greatly inclined to give
 the aero idea a test in older to
 learn the possibilities thereof and are willing to strain a point to achieve that end If the Idit- arod biddc1 succeeds. the det art
 ment vii. probably have little i:.lcultv IF securing actors for the remaining six routes and in additions will have obtained practical demonstration of the possibilities of aerial mail dis tribution invaluable in the appli- cation of such methods in other sections of the country.

IF YOU WORRY, READ THIS

Worry never brought any good to
anybody. But, you say, 81 don't worry
because / want to, worry because I
can't help it." Or, 81 worry because
l have so much to worry about"
We all have our troubles and worry,
of course, makes matters worse. The
patient generally recognizes this fact
without being able to profit by it.
The doctor who could meet this ner-
vous condition and cure it would be
the most popular medical man alive.
But he cannot do it because the form
ofnervous exhaustion known as neuras-
thenia, of which worry is characteristic
symptom, must be cured by the patient
himself. That is why you should write
today for the book "Diseases of the
Nervous System" and read the chapter
on "Neurasthenia. So many people
have read it and written back, "This
hits my case exactly, I am giving the
treatment trial and being benefited"

demanded by Great Britain for the
feeding of Serbia, Monte
negro and the section OF Poland oc-
cupied by Austria as a condition for
permitting food for Poland to pass
the British blockade. Germany is
willing to use best efforts to have
the system of rationing introduced
there, but those countries are out
sioc her sphere of control and it will
be necessary to obtain the sanction of
the Austrian and Bulgarian author
tiles.

The result probably will be that
Germany will make a counter pro-
posal, renewing features of her
previous offer providing for i'm
portation of food for Polish towns at
the expense of the German govern
ment, a guarantee for more adequate
rationing of the country population
and an absolute promise that no pro-
visions will be exported from Poland
except possibly the surplus of pota-
toes provided neutral commissioners
esta blished the fact that there is Il
surplus. Food supplies everywhere in
Poland, except q narrow strip along
the front, will be reserved solely for
the inhabitants and for the needs of
the occupying army, including police
forces in the smaller towns and rural
districts where it is difficult to obtain
direct supply. Supplies for these
forces will be paid for at market
quotations The arrangement will run
until October.

New York, May S1.-Representa-
tives of the 325 railroad systems of
the United States and the committee
of conductors and engineers will be-
gin here tomorrow a series of confer
ences to settle if possible, questions
of working hours and wages. Eight
cen general managers compose the

and they will meet four representa-
tives from each of the employees or
ganizations-the Brotherhood of Lo-
comotive Engineers, the brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Fire
men, the Brotherhood of Trainmen
and the Order of Railroad Conduc-
tors
More than a thousand delegates
have been sent here by the employees,
and between conferences with the
railroad managers the representatives
of the four brotherhoods will consult
their fellow delegates. 1t is estimated
that the conferences will cost the
brotherhoods $50,0 900 a week.
1t was said to-day that majority
of the employees representatives favor
a strike only as last resort.
