Boston, Jan 10. The Revere house,

Square and which has sheltered such
famous guests as the Prince of Wales,
later King Edward VII., Daniel Web
ster, Jenny Lind, Emperor Pedro of
Brazil and Admiral Pnsha of the
Turkish navy, was a five-story struc
ture of stone and brick.
Starting Jn the rear of the grotto a
decorated cafe In the lower part of
the hotel, the fire gained rapid head
way and in a few minutes the flames
" had leaped up the stairways and ele-
itor wells to the upper story in the
w Bullfinch annex.
I Employes of the hotel, policemen,
I firemen and others aroused ,the sleep-
' Ing guests and there were many
thrilling rescues.
Dozens of women were helped to
safety and several men and woraon
escaped by climbing to the roofs of
adjoining buildings.
4 Clad only In their night clothes, a
tyl majority of the guests received shel-
f ter in nearby hotels. Several lost ail

"Ill W00LMEN COMPLAIN
'JIL ON RATES FROM WEST
M ' wtnVK,!hlngton' lan- 10 Arguments
' " lerflin? Inade thls wcelf before the In- 4
t aiaic commerce commission on the
question of rates on raw wool from
the far west tb the seaboard and to
intermediate points.
Rates on hides, tallow and pelts
also aro iuvolvcd. With respect to
hidqs, the small country slaughter
house proprietor asserts he is being
crushed by Iho packing trust. So
far as wool is concerned, the growers
say they are up against a combination
between the wholesale men and the
manufacturers
A representative of the woolgrow
ing Interests says that "the troubles
of the wool men are caused bv the
survival of old conditions which the
interstate commerce commission is
asked to change,"
"The wool produced in the west,"
he continued, "has moved to the At
lantic seaboard for yearB with no stop
at Intermediate points. Naturally the
rates arc all adjusted to that basis.
When the woolgrowers awoke to the
fact that the conditions under which
their product was being marketed
wero the reverse of beneficial to thorn
they looked around for means to
emancipate themselves
"They decided to hold their wool
nearer home, so the transportation of
wool direct to the Atlantic seaboard
was interrupted by the organizations
of the Omaha and Chicago ware
houses. Then It was found the rates
were not so adjusted as to permit
wool to be handled to advantage at
interior point."

Danger of Heavy Thaw
and Rains at the
Same Time
Chicago, Jan. 1C Prof. H. J Cox,
head of the Chicago weather bureau,
gave his first warning today regard
ing spring floods.
"If the spring thaw and rains come
simultaneously, ' he said, "disastrous
floods are inevitable. Thore are mil
lion and millions of gallons of water
stored throughout western America
in snow and ice,
"7f the spring thaws are gradual
and scattered the streams should be
able to carry off the water "without
disaster, but to get all that melted
snow running a once with a few hard
rains added well, bad floods will Jesuit."

hae strong hones of compelling tho

There exists throughout the coun

During the first four hours tho flames

Osaka, the Venice of the East, has
