Baltimore.-Dayid L. Houston, for

Industrial, financial, agricultural and

that "the big national question is tax

The survey, made in all Of the geo.

sisted of answers to thirty-six ques-
tons by farmers, bankers, manufacture
ers and public officials. An interest

Police officials of twenty-seven
states said there has been noticeable

In every state the consensus of
opinion was that the farmers have not

money and labor are said to have
caused reduction In acreage in all
states except Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and the Pacific

Manila, P. Fifteen thousand per-

fire. The fire was the most destruc-
tive here in more than twenty years.
Ut destroyed 5000 houses in the north
ern section of the city, native quar-
ter known as the San Lazaro district.
Two bodies were found Saturday in
the ruins.
Police estimate the loss at $1,000
600. The RACED area consisted mostly
of small native structures occupied as
dwellings and stores. 1t extended
over thirty acres.
American sailors from the flagship

lean soldiers from the Manila bar
racks were cheered as they marched
into the burning district to assist in
fighting the flames. They RACED
houses surrounding the burning area,
making fire break which halted the
progress Of the fire.
Red Cross workers before daylight
began assembling food and clothing
for the homeless, most Of whom spent
the night in vacant lots. An initial
appropriation of $4,000 was made by
the city council for relief work, and
subscriptions have been opened.
Search in the ruins revealed bodies
of Zosine Santos and his 12-year-old
nephew, clasped In each others arms
and encircled by the iron hoops OF a
large water barrel. 1t is believed that
when their escape was cut off by
flames, they took refuge in the bar

BABE" ADAMS OLDEST
PITCHER IN LEAGUES
Veteran Pittsburgh TWirIer Holds
Record in Years.
His Excellent Control and Knowledge
Of Opposing Batters Make Him One
Of the Most Valuable HurIers
in National League.

Charles Babe" Adams, the veteran
Pirate hurler, is the oldest pitcher in
the major leagues today, in point of
years of steady playing and age. De
spite his age-he is thirty-seven years
Old-he seems to be improving with
each year of playing for he shows
more control of the ball as one season
laps the other.
For instance, last year he took part
In 30 games pitched 263 innings and
permitted only Is bases on balls, a
little over one-half a pass per game.
"Old Man Control" as he is referred
to around the big circuit, faced 1895
batsmen during the season and per-
mitted only one in every IS to get to
first base by the pass route. Even
this was an improvement upon the pre-
vious year when he pitched to LOT
batters and walked %. This is a rec
ord of Al passes In two years, or less
than many a pitcher has for only half
the season.
Only once during the entire season
did Adams show any wildness at all.
This was against the Giants when he
