Business Portion
Of Needles Burned;
Five Lives Are Lost

Needles, Cal, June 24,-Fire swept
the desert town of Needles early
today, destroying the entire business
section and causing the death of at
least five persons, who were trapped
while sleeping in two hotels which
were destroyed. Several others were
injured, escaping from the blazing
structures. The loss was estimated
at $l75,000.
Fifteen business houses and four
residences fell before the flames. The
fire started from an unknown cause
an hour after midnight and spread
rapidly among the wooden buildings
The firemen were liable to get it
under control until after daylight.
Several heroic rescues were made
from the smoke-hlled hotel walls by
firemen and volunteers. Survivors
we're being checked over and search
was being made for bodies today.
Needles lies on the banks of the
Colorado river, the California-Arizona
boundary. The Santa Fe railroad
maintains large shops here, which
we're saved from the flames. The
town has been the, principal outfittins
point for the new mining camp oil
Oatman, Ariz. There are 5000 inhab.
itants here.
A large number of Mexicans reside
at Needles. Wednesday peace officers
we're sent here from San Bernardino
the county seat, to quell disturbances
that resulted from a brawl between
Mexicans and Americans.

Washington, June "a. - (SpeS
Telegram )-Confidential information
was given today that 100000 volun-
teers would be called for in the next
sixty days after the National Guard
had been whipped into shape and sent
to the border. This was the talk
among army officers and those who
presumably know the mind OF the
president and others in military
authority. y
1t was also stated today that an
emergency bill appropriating $50, ,000,-
600 would be voted on Tuesday next
week vesting this amount in the pres
ident as congress did in the Spanish
American war intrusting a like
amount to President Mckinley for
the purpose of meeting every ext
gency.'
OF this amount it was learned, and
it Is somewhat significant, that $20,-
100000 will be set aside for aviation
PuipOoSSs uio- uOCS HOl IiCSCoodliy
mean that the whole amount is to
be used for the purchase of aero
planes, but it means that the signal
corps has requested this sum in order
to put itself on a proper war footing.
Yesterday it was learned that forty
aeroplanes made in the United States
and consigned to Great Britain for its
war purposes were commandeered by
the United States government and
will be used upon the border. 3D.,
1t is also stated today on authority
that contract was signed yesterday
for the manufacture of thirty aero
planes by. the. leading planes COM
panies in the United States and these
for immediate delivery.
And now how to pay for the war
that seems inevitable. Today Claude
Kitchin, chairman of the ways and
means committee, had a conference
with Secretary McAdoo and later
with the president in which bond
issue was suggested. How far Mr..
Kitchin got with the secretary or the
president Is at this time problematic.

Campaign for and Against Proposed
Amendment to Be Fought Out
On It's Merits.
COMPLICATIONS NOT WANTED


Lincoln, June 24.-(Special.)> .)>-Un-
less something happens to change the
program, the conduct Of the wet"
and dry" campaign will be kept en-
tirely separate and distinct from the
contest between the republicans and
democrats for ascsndaney In Ne
braska this fall.
This is the word that has gone out
as result Of the conferences Of can
didates and political stratssists that
have been taking place here dutlng
the last week. Both the republican
convention, to be held here, and the
democratic convention, TO be held at
Hastings, will be permitted to frame
their party platforms when they meet
I'M July without interference BY the
advocates Of the dry amendment
or any demand for party expression
on prohibition.
Drys Want No Complications.
"Our dry campaign has progressed
so we'll to this point" declared a
prominent anti-saloon worker, "that
we feel confident of carrying our
amendment, and do not want to take
any chances of complications by max
ing it foot ball between the po-
litical parties. You will remember
that when the suffrage amendment
was submitted two years ago those
III charge decided to keep 1t wholly
bipartisan issue, and they are sat
isfied they, did much better than they
would have done by demanding, and
securing suffrage planks in the plat
forms, Our dry amendment is sub
mitted on the strength of an initiative
petition, to which signatures were Sc
cured irrespective Of party affiliations,
and to make 1t now either a repub-
lican or democratic proposal would
destroy its non-partisan character.
Non Partisanship to Be Announced.
~ don't know just how it will be
done, but before the platform con-
ventions meet our position will be
made perfectly clear, probably by let
tSio duuICoo " NduuludtCo Oit lHC
ticket friendly to the amendment.
While we want all the help we can
get and will want to know how the
candidates stand Individually, we will
run OUR campaign for the amendment
and let them run their campaigns for
their election, each in our own way"
Vets Must Also Keep Out.
OF course this statement must be
taken for what it is worth, for the
"drys" realize they have no chance
Of securing the endorsement of pro-
hibition from the democrats. They
believe, however, so it is said, that Il
prohibition is kept out Of the repub-
lican platform, the democrats will not
care to take up the wet" side of it,
and that the "wets" will have to
make an independent campaign, the
same as the "drys," which is what
is wanted. 1t goes without saying
that most of the candidates on both
state tickets also prefer it this way
as making it easier for them to avoid
crossfires.
