Its spread has been checked, but ef
forts to save any of the buildings
originally attacked by the flames
were In vain. The buildings destroyed
include two warehouses full ol
dressed meat, hemp, etc., a tallow
Douse and other structures.
Where the Firemen Died.
A wall falling on a long, overhang
ing wooden canopy on the hog house
brought death to the flremeu. Be
neatn the canopy were two companies
of firemen and the chief. These men
were crushed to death. The debris
made a furnace inio which firemen
were unable to dig for several hours.
The first body taken from the ruins
was that of George .Vlurawski, pipe
man of engine company No. 49.
Whole Companies Wiped Out.
The entire crews of engine com
panies 51 and 55 aro said to be among
tue dead. In addition six members
of another company, 29, and a few of
No. 48 were killed.
The building in which the fire start
ed was a four-story brick structure
and covered an area bounded on the
east by Loomis street and on the west
by liishop street and on tile north
and south by Forty-third und Forty
fourth streets.
The blaze was discovered at about
four o'clock by a watchman in the
beef house at Forty-third and Loomib
streets. A bursting ammonia pipe
started combustion that spread so
quickly the watchman barely had
turned in the alarm before the flumes
began bursting from the building. .

FIREMEN ARE KILLED
FALLING WALLS AT PHILADEL
PHIA FACTORY FIRE WORK
HAVOC.
UNDER TONS OF RED HOT BRICK
Fear* Entertained That at Least For
ty-Four Were Endangered—Four
Dead Bodies Taken Out—Twenty
Two injured to Hospital.
Philadelphia, Dec. 23.—With a crast
that could be heard {or squares, three
walls of a burning leather factory al
Numbers 11. 1, 1116 and 1118 Bodine
street crumpled up like a house oi
cards and burled 44 firemen beneath
the blazing ruins.
Pour dead bodies have been taken
from beneath the debris, 22 injured
firemen have been rescued and It was
estimated that 18 more were still
under the mass of brick and mortar.
Three of those still in the ruins have
been located and the rescuers were
able to talk to them, although they
could not reach them. These three
were underneath the ruins at the
Third street end of the factory, which
extended straight through from Bodine
street where the fire was out and their
only danger was from suffocation or
death from their injuries.
The remainder of the missing men
under the ruins at the Bodine street
side and where the fire was still
blazing fiercely, adding this horror to
the danger that threatened the im
prisoned men.
The north wall of the building, the
only one that did not go down in the
crash, was standing but swaying
dangerously over the heads of the
rescuers, who were working frantically
to release their comrades before it
should fall.
When the firemen arrived in re
sponse to the first alarm the fire had
gained considerable headway. Lad
ders were run up alongside the Bodine
street wall, the big tower ladder was
thrown into position and streams of
water were thrown into the interior
of the building. Another squad
gained an entrance at the Third street
end. Upon the roof of the building
Chief Baxter and several assistants
took their stand and from here Baxter
directed operations.
And then, without warning, the
crash came. The Bodine street wall
collapsed first. It swayed for a
second and then toppled over, hurling
Into the very center of the ruins a
flying cloud of bricks, burning timbers
and shrieking men. With the wall
came the ladders.
The tower truck was crushed and Its
ladders bent over. Every man who
was on the ladders was thrown to the
ground. Most of them went into the
building to be buried under the
weight of bricks that followed them.
Some of them, more fortunate than
their brothers, slipped from their
perches and dropped Into the street,
to be knocked over by the scattering
portions of the wall that fell outward.
The men at the Third street end of
the building stood aghast at the horror
of what they had seen, and then came
a second roaring sound. Shaken to
Its foundations by the first crash the
south wall collapsed and piled on top
of the men who were already under
neath the jumbled mass of what had
been the Bodine street wall, pulling
with It the Third street wall.
At a late hour the reBcuers were
still at work trying to remove the
enormous heap of debris under which
the firemen lay burled.
Philadelphia. Pec. 23.—Thirteen
known dead, 12 firemen and one po
liceman, and more than 50 persons
Injured, of whom 25 are still in the
hospital, Is the record of the fire at
the leather factory of Daniel Fried
lander.
SUES DUVEEN BROS. FOR $600,000
Government Claims Large Amount
From An Importing Firm—May
Take Their Entire Stock.
New York, Dec. 23.-Papers in a
civil suit instituted by the government
against Duveen Brothers, dealers In
antiques in Fifth avenue, were filed
in the United States district court by
Assistant District Attorney Wemple.
The action is brought to forfeit
practically the entire stock of the
concern, approximating in value
1600,000, because of gross under
valuations of imports which is charged
by the government against Duveen
Brothers.
The government also has the right
to sue for the forfeiture of all goods
sold by the Duveen Brothers to cus
tomers on which It can be shown
there was any defection in the pay
ment of duty. This has not yet been
done. But such a proceeding may be
expected in due time.
A TRUST IS GOING TO PIECES
.obbers Have Been Notified That a
Tennessee Bath Tub Company
Will Be Good.
N'ew York. Dec. 23.—The bath tub
trust, the 16 companies of which were
recently indicted by the government
following exposure, was broken to
some degree by the announcement
that the Cahill Iron Works of Chatta
nooga, Tenn., one of the allied cor
porations, had seceded from the com
bination.
The Cahill Iron Works made known
Its surrender in the following circular
letter to jobbers:
"Please be advised that we have this
day withdrawn from the license agree
ment with E. I.. Wayman, under which
we have been selling since June 6,
1910. Prices prevailent prior to June
1 are restored and will be effective

HEAVY FIRE LOSS AT CINCINNATI
With a Damage of $2,500,000 In Nina
Wholesale Plants—Three Men
Are Killed.
Cincinnati. Dec. 23.—The most de
Jtructive fire ever experienced in Cin
cinnati swept through the manufac
turing section of the city, costing
three lives and damage estimated at
$2,500,000. Seventeen persons were
injured.
The blaze, which originated in the
building at the corner of Ninth and
Sycamore streets housing the Krlppen
dorf-O’Nelll company, shoe manufac
turers, and other concerns, raged for
more than seven hours, and it required
the combined efforts of the fire fight
ing force of the city and all the
suburbs to subdue it. At 9:30 o’clock
it was under control with nine large
buildings destroyed or gutted. Two of
those killed were firemen who risked
their lives in fighting the flames.
WAR ON IN EARNEST
IN MEXICAN REPUBLIC
Revolutionists Are Making Headway
Against Government and Are In
creasing in Numbers—Rebels
Now Number Over 2,000.
Chihuahua, Mexico, Dec. 23.—The de
feat of the government troop train
with its three field pieces and five
hundred and fifty men, intensified the
war tension here. On top of the drawn
battle of Cerre Pristo ten days ago it
is taken as confirmation of declara
tions that President Diaz for the first
time in his long tenure of office con
fronts a real revolution.
The most ardent sympathizers with
the revolt, and they include most of
the unofficial population, scarcely
hoped the insurgents would be able
to make more than one stand against
the disciplined soldiers of the govern
ment.
Official reports now double their
estimate of the number of insurrectos
in the field. Gerro Prieto was a
drawn fight; Mai Paso was a victory
fn t Vin rnKol a TVio nnootl/Ml DOW is
how long General Navarro with the
main force of federals, can hold out.
His force is reported surrounded in
the vicinity of Padernaies and it is cer
tain that he is running short of food
and ammunition. He is said to have
reported here that he had been unable
to hold his advantage at Mai Paso and
had been twice repulsed. He had
been ordered to hold Mai Paso to
form a Juncture with the soldiers of
the troop train. He made a desperate
attempt to do so, but failed.
His failure in this regard is attri
buted to the remarkable augmentation
of the revolutionary numbers. Offi
cial reports now put them at two
thousand.
TO FLY ROUND THE WORLD
Capt. Baldwin, the Aged Aviator, Off
on a 30,000-Mile Trip—Left
San Francisco Co.
New York, Dec. 23.—At the age of
60 Captain Thomas S. Baldwin, the
oldest aeroplane driver in the world,
has started from San Francisco to fly
by easy stages around the world. In
the biplane of his own invention, with
which he made numerous sensational
flights at Mineola last summer, the
veteran aviator expects to travel ap
proximately 30,000 miles before he
finishes his world-girdling air tour.
He started from San Francisco
aboard a steamship for the Hawaiian
Islands. He will fly over the Hawaiian
islands with his aeroplane, then set
out by steamer for Yokohoma. Wherc
ever there are great bodies of water
to traverse the "Grmddaddy of Avia
tors” will travel by boat. But where
aver he can fly safely over land he
will travel from place to place in his
aeroplane.

Nice’s Pumpkin Festival.
The pumpkin festival at Nice Is one
of those old world customs rescued
by popular sentiment from a gradurj
decay that was hastening towards obi
llvlon. It Is a celebration singularly
unique, In that the wildest exuberancl
of spirit alternates with serious cere*
monies, representations of art and
prosaic business dealings—a celebra
tion so quaint and so little like the
usual productions of modern mankind
that It leaves one with the Impression
of having witnessed n scene Idealised
upon the stage rather than an actual
festival of the present practical age.
Yet the pumpkin custom undoubtedly
reflects the character and individual
ity of Its resuscltators, the Inhabitants
'of Nice, whose deep religious In
stincts. Innate refinement of feeling
and Intense love of the beautiful were
the underlying forces which prompted
them to revive a time-honored custom
without the least trace of vulgar ad
vcrtlsement or sordid materialism to
mar Its perfect harmony.—Wide

MAY RUSH AMERICAN
TROOPS TO CUBA
Intervention May Be Necessary as ths
Island Government is Very Weak
_President Gomez is Accused
ef Graft.
Washington, Dec. 23.—Officials ol
the War Department look for a crisis
In the affairs of Cuba by February, |
and American Intervention will prob
ably be necessary. Conditions are
such that the government has alreauy
massed 6,000 troops and is ready at
any time to ruEh them to Cuba to
protect American interests.
The State and War Departments
have been In close touch with affairs
in Cuba ever since the evacuation by
American troops less than three years
ago. Within the last six months re
ports and information received from
American representatives in the
island have Indicated that the Cuban
government was not substantial and
could exist only a few months longer.
Within the last three weeks the re
ports have been so discouraging tha'
the War Department has felt the ne
cessity of keeping 5,000 troops where
they could reach Cuba in 36 hours.
According to reports in the War
and State Departments It has been the
action of the president, Jose Miguel
Gomez, that has led to trouble.
Gomez has been accused of having
received large sums of money from a
railway syndicate and a telephone
company for using his influence to se
cure the passage of bills favorable to
them.

Whereas, The Supreme Being has

Resolved, By the Odd Fellows ol
Mena, Ark., that we bow in submis
sion to the edict which resulted in the
loss to our order of a brother whose
many kindnesses and charities to suf
fering humanity has endeared his
nsrae to a large circle of brothers,
friends and those in affliction and dis
tress. Bro. Pool was a plain, blunt
spoken man but with a good, true
heart within; his helping hands and
his professional ability were always ex
tended to assist those needing consola

tion. Be it further
Resolved, That we express to his
family and friends our sincere sympa
thy for the loss which has befallen
them. While we have consigned his
body to the earth we realize that
Hope bends over man’s last resting
place a bow bright with immortality
which, resting upon earth, extends fat
into the sacred realms of eternity;
and be it further
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread on a page of our lodge records
and a copy be presented to his family.

Sense of Direction in Animals,
The remarkable faculty which cats,

sess of returning In a straight line to
a point of departure has awakened
much curiosity on the part of natural
ists. Some refer it to Instinct, soma
to Intelligence similar to man, soma
to an internal mechanism which
makes the animal simply automata,
but none of these attempted explana
tions does anything toward solving
the mystery. One of our ablest mod
ern scientific writers supposes that
when an animal is carried to a great
distance In a basket its fright makes
it very attentive to the different odors
which It encounters upon the way, and
that the return of these odors, in in
verse order, furnishes the needful
guide.
