Indiana Prison Burns
Inmates Remain Orderly as
Fire DESTROYS Reformatory

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Feb. G.
Five of the thirteen buildings in the
group comprising the Indiana State
Reformatory were destroyed by fire
here early to-day, entaling an cstl-
mated loss of $1,000000. Twelve hun
dred and eightyfvc prisoners, in cell
houses and dormitories, were mar
shalled in orderly array in the quad
rangle, walled inclosure where "re-
treat" is sounded each evening after
the military fashion. At the. word of
command they quietly marched to the
institutional school building, 200 yards
away from the fire, where they were
placed under guard. None tried to
escape.
The blaze was discovered shortly
after midnight in the trade school
building and is believed to have been
due to crossed wires.
Low water pressure handicapped the
efforts of the iiremen, and before the
blaze was brought under control four
hours later the trade school building,
one dormitory, one cell house, q
foundry warehouse and the administra-
tion building had been destroyed.

Rich Merchant Dies
In Mysterious Fire
William j. Barker Had Been
Bitter Anti-German; 100000
Home DESTROYED

RIVERSIDE, Conn, Feb. 6.-William
j. Barker, wealthy hair tonic manu-
facturer of New York City, was burned
to death here early this morning in a
fire which destroyed his home. When
the body was found his hand still
gripped fire extinguisher. An inves-
tigation into the cause of the fire will
he started at once.
Others in the house at the time were
saved. Mr. Barker began to fight the
flames as soon as they were discovered,
and the gardener carried Mrs. Barker,
who was i'll in bed, from the house.
The butler was ordered to see that
every one was out, and after he had
. been through the rooms he left the
house thinking that Mr.. Barker had
preceded him.
Mr.. Barker had written concerning
conditions on the battlcfronts Of Eu-
rope, and had been spending his time
of late delivering anti German lectures.
His pronounced views Of the Germans
recalls the rumor that the house OF
Irving Bachelor, the novelist, whici,
was burned a year ago, within q mile
Of the Barker residence, was destroyed
by German agents.
Firemen were handicapped in their
attempts to control the flames because
there were no hydrants in the vicinity
of the house. The damage is estimated
at 100000, which includes costly rugs
and works of art.
A telegram was sent to William Jay
Barker, ir., who is a member of the
United States Aviation Corps at Fort
Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S. c.. Mr..
Barker's married daughter and his
mother are both living in New York
State. He was member of the New
York Athletic Club and the City Club
of New York, and was a corporal in the
Riverside special police corps. He
was forty-sevcn years old and had lived
here for about eight years.
