to-day.

Tho Speaker's friends explained tliot
Mr. Clark voted ngui:ii;t tho resolution
necause it provided for two tuit I'-siiips. I
whereas, he was committed to one battle--lilp

Wilson's lieutenants here point out
iliut Mr. Clark could havehiid opportunity
in the caucus to explain to his party
lirethreii that he whs favorable to tlie
incorporation in the navnl liill of an au
thorization for one battleship.
It is udmltted on nil sides that Repre
sentative Burleson of Texas, wlio is op

trary manner. refusing to heir members

has disturbed tho harbor business of
Great Hrltaln off and on for over a
year, particularly In the last two
months. A notice was posted In Mari

weaker and weaker, tho strike ends with

, d oa c)R4M,M of rft,ua 4hor

that for u year have joopardUed British .
shipping interests. The dockers iult 1
work a vonr hzo in sympathy with the
seamen and when the tatters' demands
' were Hatlstled the dockers sought more
advantageous tortns for themselves.
1 Then) were outbreaks in various ports
of the Ctiiled 1 ingdom, but a general
strike of tho longshoremen of London
wns reserved as a final display of strength.
'I he original pretext for this latest
' strike, the (piestion of an old mutchniRu's
union ticket, was speedily dropped by
tho Transport Workers Fedeiatlon and
demands wero tnado for 29 cents an hour
for dockers, lightermen and stevedores,

Tho (internment quickly took action, and
n statement was Issued from the Home

would use all the resources at Its disposal
to insure a continued food supply.
The brunt of this situation was of course
borne by those who live olose to the nor.

j colony nt Kentara (Jreon, ono of the
picturesque estates of Xarragansett Pier.
Altogether seven cottages were de

most sensational tiro the Pier has known
since the old Casino on Ocean road, the
Kockingham Hotel and other buildings
were destroyed by tho flames which
swept Narragansett in September. 1900.
It is said tho loss of property will reach
1150,000 and the figures are considered
conservative.
Tho fire started in Orton Lodgo. which
is the largest v ilia In the group at Kentara
Green. It soon spread and Chief Howard
Caswell and his firemen wero soon at
tlie sucno of the firo and ondeavoring
to control the conflagration, which caused
considerable excitement throughout the
Pier.
Volunteer firemen, including n group
of young meu who are spending the
suinmor at tlie Pier, rushed to the aid
of the local department and rendered
valuable service.
Tho Are fighters were Thomas Harris,
a son of Judge Harris of Now York; John
McKlm, Deputy Assistant District At
torney of New York, who is spending
his vacation here; Joseph B. Thomas
of the Point Judith Polo Club and William
C. Marrow of Washington. U. c. Others

Benjamin K. Oatlns, J. C. Rathbome
of New Orleans, Miss Josephine Gibson,
sister of Charles Dana Gibson; Mlaa
Kato Brinton and Mrs. X,CwTow0r of
Providence, and Miss Eleonora Bears of
Boston, who arrived hero from Newport
in time to see tho blaze.
One of tlie humorou Incidents is here
with mlated by a firo flgliler.
A polo player wlio was visiting Mr.
, Htedd.nl at Orton Lodge heard the alarm
while at the country club engaged In a
game of golf, he sflid. "He shouted for
11 driver and told him to drive rapidly
to Kentara Green.
"Let mo out at Htoddard's,' he said.
" There ain't no Stoddard's!' shouted
a small txy near by.
"Gosh. I have lost my boots'.' said the
polo player."
Many of the cottagers carried buckets
of water iu their efforts to save the villas.
Considerable property wan raved and
carried to nearby houses.
Orton Lodge Is said to represent a loss
of more than $30,000.

and offered his services to Deputy Com
missioner Dougherty. When the gam
bler was shot down this witness stood
Irsn than a hundred fcot away.
Ho saw Koccnthnl In the doorway of
tho Metropole. He remembers that Ho
senthal was pulling at n cigar and In
tently reading a newspaper. Ho recalls
the swift approach of the assassins.
He knows that the pistols were emp
tied within n foot of Rosenthal's face.
Tho dcecriptlon of the murderers Is
so clear In his mind that ho belleveu
he would have no difficulty In tingling
them out of n crowd.
Although no npparcnt progress was
made In finding and capturing the men
who did the killing valuable Informa
tion camo to Dougherty missing links
in the chain of evidence and further
suggestions as to who was with Bald
Jack Hose shortly before Rosenthal
waa kilted.
The Deputy Commlstoner got word
that one of the four men charged with
the actual shooting had been seen In
Chicago. Ho telegraphed Instructions
to the police there and late last night
was waiting for newa that would war
rant the sending of a detective from
this city.
The police heard too that Dig Jack
Zellg, Lefty Louie and Whltey Lewis
wero guests of Hose on the night Ro
senthal waii killed; that tho three were
riding with Koee In the red automo
bile that was used In procuring the
affidavit that Lieut. Becker wanted
from Dora Gilbert and In tho gray
car that Rose hired from Llbby and
Shapiro.
Mr. Dougherty denied that Zells was
wanted, saying that the gang lender Is
In Boston and that he was not bothering
about Zellg. Tho Information, however,
was received nnd Is being acted on.

An to matters that have arisen In
connection with the Rosenthal case
Alderman Currnn, Insisting that there
was no politics In his activities, wrote
to Muyor Gaynor demanding that the
Mayor call a special meeting ot tho
Board of Aldermen for the purpose of
starting an Investigation of psllco al
liance with gamblers. Mr. Currnn
promised also to get out n writ of
mandamus to compel the Mayor to
assemble the Aldermen.
The most Interesting development
from the standpoint of police vnrl; was
finding the witness who observed the
cunning of the murderers aud stood
dazedly by while f ey thrust their re
volvers in Rosenthal's face. Tho story
he tells agrees In tho main with the
sworn statements of Shapiro and Krcse,
the Coney Island waiter.
Ho saw without understanding nt ins
moment what was going forward th
deliberate, efforts of a number of men
to keep Forty-third street cleor of In
truders, Ho noticed that taxlcabs ar
riving at the Metropole were barely nt
lowed time to stop. Parts of tho pint
were played out before his eyes.

ran like a rabbit when the pistols
barked and that he hid behind it lamp
