BALTIMORE WATERFRONT
SUFFERS SERIOUS BLAZE
Incendiaries Believed Responsible for
Fire Which Does Damage of
Five Million Dollars.

Baltimore, Oct. 31.-The most disas-
trous fire which has visited the Bal
timore waterfront for years broke
out shortly before IL o'clock last night
at Baltimore & Ohio pier o, Locust
Point, destroyed that pier, the old i'm
migration building adjoining, and with
in an hour had spread to pier No. s.
At / o'clock this morning the water
end of pier No. s was burning fiercely.
At the time also a British steamer,
which tied up at pier No. yesterday
afternoon, was on fire and the 80 anti
submarine shells in her magazine were
exploding. The ship sank later. Four
of her crew are missing.
1t is believed the total loss will
reach $5,00O,000, of which $1,500,000
represents the, piers; 100000 the
material stored on them and 100000
the steamer and cargo.
Ten stevedores of the 90 working
on the steamer and on the wharf when
the fire broke out have not been ac
counted for. On one of the piers were
cases of shells, which exploded at in
tervals, leading to rumors that the
fire department was using dynamite
to check the spread of the fire. 1t is
reported that the fire was of incendi.
airy origin.

FEDERAL MEDIATOR WANTS
U. S. TO OPERATE PHONES
Seems to Be Only Solution of Strike
Which Is Tying Up System
on the Pacific Coast.

San Francisco, Nov 3.-Settlement
of the Pacific Telephone strike lies
in the hands of the federal govern
ment. Mediation has been abandoned.
Government seizure and operation of
the entire properties of the Pacific
Telephone and Telegraph company
''in the interests of the national de-
fense," was recommended by Werner
D. Reed, federal mediator, in a tele-
gram, to Secretary of Labor Wilson.
Mr.. Reed acknowledged complete fail
ure to settle the controversy leading
to a walkout of unionized operators
which has partly paralyzed service
in cities of the Pacific northwest and
threatens to spread to California and
Nevada.
Mr.. Reed asked Secretary Wilson
and the mediation commission now in
Arizona, to unanimously recommend
to President Wilson immediate COM
of the telephone COM
pany's property, its subsidiaries, and
to impress into government service it's
officials, superintendent, foremen and
whether on strike or not"
During the interim, Mr.. Reed said,
the government would expect those on
strike in Seattle, Tacoma and other
Pacific northwest cities to return i'm
to- work pending executive
action.

NEW COAL PRICE
CAUSES PROTEST
GOVERNOR STEWART SENDS TEL
EGRAM TO COAL ADMIN
ISTRAToR GARFIELD

Helena. Nov. 1.-Governor Sam. V.
Stewart, who had wired the national
fuel administrator, H. A. Garfield,
protesting the rumored price fixed fol
Montana fuel and asking If it was true
that an additional 40 cents had been
granted the operators of this state,
yesterday received reply from MIR.
Garfield, in which he said the Increase
had been given ''to cover the Increase
allowed in wages" Mr.. Garfield said
the price as fixed was merely pro-
visional," until complete inquiry can
be made into the actual cost OF min
ing and flair price fixed" In reply
Governor Stewart wired Mr.. Garfield:
your telegram astonishes me. The
Montana fuel administrator was not
even consulted before the announce
ment of the raise in price. You now
say that it is merely provisional, but
Montana operators and coal miners
will meet in Great Falls tomorrow
and adjust a new scale of wages based
on your announcement of the new
price. 1t will then be too late ever to
get an adjustment in the interest OF
the consumers. If the price is only
provisional. it is your plain duty to
order stopped the attempt to promul-
gate a new scale of wages based on a
temporary price. Mr.. Swindlehurst
(the state fuel administrator is in
agreement with me that we stand
ready to cooperate, but that must not
be construed to mean that we will sit
back and let prices be fixed without
our knowledge and then be forced to
defend them and see them put into
effect to the plain detriment of our
citizens. You mention future investi- |
cation. We are anxious to know be- |
ore assuming responsibility for the |
conditions which you have created, |
when such investigations are to be |
made and by whom"

TEUTONIC DRIVE CONTINUES
Virtually 1000 Miles of Italian Terri
tory Overrun and 100000 Pris-
oners Taken by Austro-
German Armies.

London, Nov. Spiritually one thou
sand square miles of Italian territory
have been overrun, more than 10000
| italians have been taken prisoner, and
in excess of 1000 guns have been cap
tured by the Germans and Austro-
Hungarian armies in their eight days
drive from the Isonzo and Carnic Alps
fronts of the Austro-Italian theater
of war.
The Austro- Germans and Italians
are in combat along the middle and
lower regions of the Taglfamento
river, with the Teutonic forces on the
east and General Cadornas army on
the western side of the stream. AS
far as is known, the enemy has not
been able to cross the river, which is
in freshet, but it seems apparent that
from the Carnic Alps south along the
battle line to the head of the Adriatic
the Italians are holding their new line
of defense securely.
Meantime with the Italians waiting
for eventualities on the eastern Friuli
plains the sentiment in Italy among
all classes is seething with patriotic
fervor.
According to the latest Berlin Off
cial communication announcing the
heavy losses to the Italians in men
and guns, engagements successful for
the enemy have taken place on the
Tagliamento plain, while the Rome
communication announces that there
has been fighting on the hills of st.
Daniele del Friulf, along the Ledra
canal. at Pasian Schiavonesco, and at
Pozzuolo del Fruili, northwest of
Udine and from four to five miles east
of the Tagliamento.
Allies Rush Help.
Meanwhile preparations to aid the
italians in their hour of extremity are
being rushed by all the allies. Jules
Cambon, general secretary of the
French ministry of foreign affairs,
has expressed conviction that the
italians will be able to stem the in
vasion with the aid of French and
British troops sent to reinforce them,

On the other battle fronts no bigN

mans Wednesday made no attempt to
