Scores of Others Listed.

There are scores of other franciers
and capitalists who have huge incomes.
but who are not credited with having
such large fortunes as those in this
list. No attempt has been made to
compute the tax which viii be derived
from incomes which are drawn from
the actual work of these men Thus
there are doubtless many persons who
have incomes larger than those in this
list, but who do not get it from large
estates which have been built up and
kept practically intact.

FIRE IN JERSEY CITY.
Erie Repair Shops and Ferry House
Damaged by Mysterious Destruc-
tion-Ten Hurt.

! New York, March 27.-Fire follow
ing a series of unexplained explosions
destroyed the six-story building Of the
Jarvis Warehouse Company, Inc, near
the Erie Railroad terminal in Jersey
l.City late yesterday and badly dam
aged the Erie repair shops. No loss
of life had been reported tonight.
The material damage was estimated by
Jersey City policemen and fire OIL
Gals at close to S1,500,O00. The goods
stored in the warehouse. said to have
included quantity of chemicals, "esc
a total loss.
The cause of the explosions has not
vet been determined, although rigid
investigation was begun at once by
Federal, state and city authorities.
The first terrific detonations, whica
occurred shortly after 8 o'clock. shook
windows in downtown Manhattan and
caused considerable alarm. Visions OF
another Black Tom disaster or a bonn
bardment by the Germans were IN
many minds. Burning cinders. which
arose in the heavy cloud of black
smoke, were carried by the wind across
the North river, and fell along the
water front.
While the excitement was at its
height the Erie fcrryhouse, a three.
story structure in West street, be-
tween piers 70 and 20 on the New
York side of the river, was discovered
to be on fire. A lighter close by load
ed with several hundred bales of cot
ton, also was blazing fercely, and
still farther south, the Hoboken ferry
slip of the Lackawanna railroad was
on fire.
The Erie ferryhouse was aflame
from the second story to the roof.
These fires were easily eytinguishcd
by tn New York fremen, many OF
whom were ordered to Jersey City to
fight the bigger fire.
Employed in the Jarvis storehousc
were between 40 and so men, but the
prompt sounding of the alarm is be.
licved to shave enabled all TO escape.
Scores of persons in the streets were
cut by falling glass.
Hundreds of store and tenement
windows, some Of them a mile away
were blown out by the force of the
blasts. Several small frame build
ings near the warehouse were wrecke1
by the explosions.
