OPPOSE DEWS PAROLE

ONEONTA, Ala, May 3i.-(Spe-
cial)-A number of petitions directed
to the governor and protesting
against the pardon or parole of T. C.
Dews, sentenced to three years in
the penententiary for the murder Of
Curtis Tidmore. are being circula ted
today throughout Blount county.
Public sentiment Is very pro-
nounced in this case, since Tidmore
was we'll and favorably known
throughout the county. His friends
insist that there was no cause to be-
lieve he was a whisky-runner, and
that the officers acted very rashly
in killing him while on the read to
Birmingham with load of vege-
tables. Local witnesses are being
notified by the attorneys to attend
trial on June in the United States
court at Birmingham, wherein Mrs
Tidmore is suing the officers for the
killing of her husband.

CURB PRICES ARE

NEW YORK, May 31.-Prices were
somewhat unsettled in today's trad

changes, however, were not greatly
affected, although trading showed
lack of confidence.

BUTTER MARKET

CHICAGO, May 31.-Moderate supplies
fair demand and more confidence in the
situation gave the butter market here to-
day a little more strength. Jobbers did
not buy much ahead of their needs but
few orders for butter to go into storage
together wit hthe fact that receivers were
inclined to store their fine marks in
preference to taking a loss gave top scores
more support. Lower scores found support
in good demand. although buyers tried
hard to get concessions and In some cases
got them. The car market was firmer
and more active, with prices practically
unchanged. Fresh butter: 90 score 3sc;

UPWARD TREND is
RESUMED; SLUMP
LATER SETS IN

NEW YORK, May 31.-Erratic price
stock market with closing prices de-
cidedly irregular.
The upward movement, which has
been in progress for the last week,
was resumed at the opening, but
trading became dull on the rally.
Some selling then came In to the oil
shares, despite the announcement of
an increase in the Wholesale price
of gasoline in the western Pennsyl-
vania and mid-continental fields.
This was accentuated later by selling
said to be indirectly connected with
the bankruptcy proceedings against
the largest curb market house. Just
before the close selling pressure was
exerted against the equipment shares,
which previously had shown impress
sive strength.
California Petroleum was again
one of the most outstanding indi-
vidual features, establishing new
top for all time at 117as, and then
slipping back to 116, where 1t was up
3% points on the day. Weakness of
MARYLAND Oil. which closed IA lower
at 45a was attributed in some quar-
ters to the liquidation Of stock pur-
chased for the supporting purposes
in the recent reaCtlon. HnllllpS re-
tro1eum also was heavy.
Rails offered determined resistance
to selling pressure. Reports of the
first Sc class enc roads to report

s60,000,000 in March, and $36,200,O0O

lower to the basis Of Nc for Cubas: G. l..

were sales of 10000 bags of Cubas for
prompt shipment to a local refiner and 1t
was believed that another small lot could

from the larger Cuban holders.
The raw sugar futures market was cas-
Ter under renewed liquidation prompted
by the decline in the spot market and the
continued poor consuming demand. Houses
with Cuban connections were also on the
selling side and final prices were at about
the lowest of the day and from II to 10

HOUSE
BLAZE ROUTS
Sd GUESTS
FTemen Awaken SIeepers and
Assist Many of Them
to Safety.

A spectacular early morning
fire at the old fremont House,
2O1 I1diana avenue northwest,
routed fifty guests from their
beds and threatened for a time
to wipe out one of the most his
toric hostelries in the District.
Four alarms were turned In be-
fore the firemen were satisfied
that there was enough flre-tlgnt-
ing apparatus on hand to combat
the blaze. The first alarm, turn
ed in at 1920, was quickly fol
lowed by a second. When the
fire continued to gain Roadway,
a fourth alarm was turned IN,
the third being omitted. This had
the effect of bringing more than
a score of engines and trucks to
the fire.
Most of Rooms Occupied.
George Andre, proprietor, told the
firemen that most of the rooms or
| the ancient four-story brick build
| ing were occupied. With the base
ment a raging furnace and smoke
pouring into the rooms above, fire
men were fearful that the guests
might not be aroused in time to
flee safely.
| Four firemen were detailed tc
| make a room-to-room canvass. They
| found many who had not been awak
ened by the confusion, and more
| than one guest was in need of as
sistance. Cropping their way through
| the smoke-filled corridors, the fire
men assisted a score OF people to
safety. r. B. Slements, seventy
six years old, roomer, was nearly
| overcome by smoke when firemer
| found him and assisted him to the
| street.
Michael Connolly. sixty-nine years
| old, was in such a condition that fire
men found it necessary to carry
him down a ladder. Half choked
with the smoke. Connolly was
| given first aid on the curbing. Johr
Hill carried his wife and their year
old baby down the fire escape
Brown and Mary Doyle, second
firemen aroused them and tolG
them to leave the hotel.
Helped Firemen Rescue Others.
Rebecca Sophia Kenly, eighty
years old, who for more than q year
! has occupied a room on the second
floor rear, was awakened by the
smoke. She dressed rapidly and
helped the firemen in the work OF
arousing the guests. So far as the
police know there were none of the
guests forced to seek hospital treat
ment, though several of them re-
ceived first aid at the fire.
The fire started in a pile OF old
furniture In the basement. Frank
Cerimele. Sc G street northwest
CHANGED to pass by and saw the
smoke issuing from the basement
windows. After turning In an alarm
he helped awaken the guests.
Firemen thought when they sa"
the dense smoke that the building
was probably doomed. They Were
unable to get close to the seat OF
the blaze and were forced to shoot
water into the basement from a dis
lance until the fire began to abate.
