JpJtOPOSITION TO REORGANIZE:
CLEARING HOUSE HAS
OPPOSITION
WOULD ADVANCE MEMBERSHIP
Smaller Member* Claim They Would
Be Frozen. O-at—Scheme, if
Successful, May Cause
Split.
A number of members of the Chamber
Of Commerce are Up in arms over the
Attempt to reorganize the clearing house.
A petition was clrcu.lft.ted Saturday seek
ing signatures en th© new pr6]Sostlipn,
flj&d it was not, until yesterday morning
.th£kt the opposing- sentiment was shown.
'fjiQ plan is to limit th a number of mom.
pefs In th^ clearing bouse to 100, and If
«iij§ action fe taken it will be Impossible
■®r"the smaller members to get into the
clearing smaller members to get Into the
irlng house at all, and they will have
xp do all their . clearing's through other
fens as some of the smaller ones are
doing at the present, tim.?.
<lt "will also make It impossible for any
rfievr members to get in except by buying
dut at a premium some of the older ones,
and under this plan it would not be long
before a clearing house membership
would be as valuable as ai membership
it, the Chamber itself.
■There promises to be a warm fight over
the proposition, and those who have 'the
lisw plan in hand claim that they will
carry it through, but the opposition are
lust as positive that they will win out.
i ,Th.o opposition claims it is a/ scheme on
the part of the larger firms to get con
trol . of the clearing 'house, and If they
Should" be successful, it would militate
against the growth of the chamber.
•■The present membership of the clearing
iio\ise, which is a separate and distinct
organization from the chamber, is 93, and
the fight of reorganization is of course
qnjy among these members. There Is
considerable talk that if the reorganiza
tion scheme goes through, as opposition,
comprising the smaller members, will
form a clearing hcuse"Wmong themselves.
AIR THEIR TROUBLES.
The Two Dally Papers at the "C»
?»la>- Consolidate.
The university general faculty conven
gfl yesterday morning In the president's ef
n6d and cleared up a mass of student pe
titions incident upon the beginning of the
llt^w semester. The question of greatest
prominence before the meeting was the
ttnlatter of the two dally newspapers now
in existence at the university.
-A y petition from tho Minnesota Daily
Jfews, the newly organized paper, re
questing the tise of an office room in one
pfcthe college buildings, was read and dis-
Ctlssed at length.
. ;Mr. J. I. Duo-and, editor of the Daily
$v§ws, appeared before the meeting in
fittpport of the petition, lie briefly out
, lined the policy and organization of his
p&per and insisted upon its superiority to
the old daily in the matter of cororate
Organism and the power of the directors
to dismiss incapable editors. Ho stated
that the constitution of the old daily left
tae entire control in the hands of the
Chosen editors.
Prof. Anderson contradicted this la-ttir
Statement. He SRld that the old paper
V*3 provided with a board of directors
1(1 whose power It lay to dismiss incom
petent members of tho staff.
.-The faculty was about evenly divided
la the matter. Certain professors feel
,ycsry strongly about it. while others are
riggjffere-nt. The opinion of the majority
to.ppea.rs to be that, whllj the appearance
of the new venture has proved a benefi
cial epur to the old pap.^r, the existence
Of the two papers in t/e same filed is
pot desiracle.
Final action in the case was postponed
at the wish of President Northrop, who
£ipressed the desire to confer with the
representatives of the two papers mr the
rie&r future to discuss the possibility of
immediate consolidation. It is the presi
dent's opinion that the fina-1 merging of
the rival interests is inevitable in the
tnd.an<l that the sooner it can take place
micably, the better.

CORONER'S ANNUAL REPORT.
Wants Office Placed on Salary Hauls
—^Qitlier Recommendations.
The board of county commissioners
received the report of Coroner Williams
for the fiscal year ending Jan. T. Th©
coroner expresses his determination to
appeal to th* legislators and endeavor
to have the office of coroner placed on
a salary basis.
He also calls attention to the need of
a refrigerator at the morgue. The cor
oner is of tlie opinion that this Is a ne
cessity; because it Is necessary at va
rious times t6 keep dead badies for a
number of days, and under present ar»
rr.ngement this could not be done ex*
cept in cold weather. The suggestion
was referred to the committee on pub
lic grounds and buildings.
MEGAARDEN OX THE STAND.
Denies Any Knowledge of Willful
Overcharges in Office.
The Megaarden case was taken up yes
terday morning and the defense placed
Megaarden on the stand in his own be
half. He told in a general way the
conduct of the office of sheriff, and what
the- duties of his deputies, bookkeeper
and himself "were.
When asked regarding the bill for
which lie has been indicted, and which
it is claimed he presented to the county
commissioners April 2, 19C0, he denied
having any knowledge of it whatever,
and said that he was not in the city at
the time the I bill was presented. When
asked in regard to hack hire in Minne
apolis for children taken to Red Wing
and Owa-tonna. he said that ho know
nothing about it, but was of the impres
s.en that they were used at all times.
He admitted that he had been summoned
before the county commissioners in re
gard to hack hire, but that he explained
to them that such service was neces
sary.
He claimed that the first Intimation
he had of any overcharges existing was
in September, 1900, when he appeared be
fore County Attorney Boardman and his
assistant, C. L. Smith, and various mat
ters in regard to overcharges were dis

INCENDIARY
WAS AT WORK
STROXG SUSPICION THAT SCOVILL.
HOUSE- AT WATERBURY
WAS SET ON FIRE
THIS BLAZE STARTED A PANIC
Loss Given in Earlier Reports Is Not
Reduced, hut Rather Increased,
by the Latest Estimates
of Experts.
NO LIVES' LOST. FEW INJURED
WATERBURY, Conn., Feb. 3.—The sun
rose today on a blackened and smolder
ing mas 3of ruins that marked the main
business section of the city.
There Is a very strong suspicion that
the fire, which completely destroyed 'the
Scovill house, burning thousands of aol
lars worth of furniture, appointments anl
personal effects, and imperiling many
lives, was the work of an incendiary.
The fire originated in the pool and bil
liard room in the basement of the house
on the further sida from the burned dis
trict. The room was locked und no cm
was supposed to be there. No fire was
kept in the room, all heat being supplied
from a boiler in another part of the build
ing.
Manager Truman said &t the police sta
tion, while the fire was still raging, that
he had not the slightest doubt it was of
incendiary origin. No one could be found
to explain th e cause, and the authorities
have been quietly investigating.
Panic Threw Off Suspicion.
Tlie fire came so close on th« heels of
the big conllagration that the thousands
of spectators who witnessed it were
thrown into a more complete panic thaa
the original (ire caused. The flames had'
only begun to die out along Bank, Grand
and South Main streets at 4 o'clock when
rlame<s leaped upward, as by magic, and
people feared the city was doomed after
all. The call was runs In promptly and
the engines that hurried to the scene
turned their attention mainly to prevent
ing the spread of the flames. It was evi
dent that the hotel was doomed, and if
the fire had reached the adjacent build
ings thei> __would have been very little
hope of saving the center of the city.
The fire burned far into the day, and.
was not extinguished entirely until even
ing.
The scene about the city was only little
less remarkable than that of the previ
ous evening. Thousands of people stum
bled around the icy streets, and with the
greatest difficulty were restrained by the
militia and police from venturing within
the danger lines. A tangled network of
wires on Bank and South Main streets
greatly hindered the work of extinguish
ing the last flames and clearing away the
wreckage.
The Connecticut Railway and Lighting
company has men on the streets all day
removing, repairing and replacing- the
wires. The city's telephonic communica
tion, lighting facilities and electric power
were restored before nightfall.
Los* Not Overeatlmated.
A revised list of losses and insurance
is very difficult to obtain at this time.
Few know just what the loss was on
their buildings and stock. It Is believed
that when the truth is known the figures
telegraphed this morning will not be tar
from the correct estimate.
The remarkable feature of the fire was
undoubtedly the absence, so far as
known, of loss of life. Two men who
were asleep in theScoville house, Charles
Y. Kent, of the Holmes, Booth & Hay
dens company, and members of the board
of education, and the second cook, a Ger
man, were reported missing, but bom
have been located.
Ine rebuilding of ruined structures is
only a question of time. Temporary
quarters have been secured by all the
firms. Many have already telegraphed
for new stock, and will resume business
immediately.
American Still T«sne.i.
The American Publishing company is
among the heaviest losers, the building
being entirely ruined, but the paper was
Issued fn an abbreviated form tonight.
The walls of the mechanical department
are still standing and It Is said that it
will be roofed In immediately. The press
and machines are believed to be not
seriously damaged, though buried under
water and debris. The plans of the com
pany have not been formulated.
There has been more or less disorder
about the streets today, but the police
have been very active and the militia
lias been of great service in handling the
crowds. The streets were piled with
household goods and strewn with small
articles thrown from the windows. Some
of this porperty was confiscated by
passers-by, but the amount of thieving
was small compared with the opportuni
ties offered by the confusion.
The number of injured was very small,
and in all but one or two cases the in
juries were slight. The streets are rapid
ly being cleared.
Estimates by experts tonight places the
total loss at close to $2,500,000.
In Labor's Field,
President Munzer presided at a meeting
of the Building Trades council last night,
when credentials were received from
delegates representing 1 the carpenters and
structural iron workers. The scale of
wages proposed by the hoisting engineers
was considered and approved. It called
for a nine-hour day, at 40 cents per hour,
time and a half for overtime and double
time for holidays. The bricklayers'
scale, with no change from last year,
was approved.
Electrical "Workers.
The Electrical Workers' union held a
rousing meeting last night, presided over
by President Tubbesing, when J. Graves
and P. H. Koch were initiated, and two
applications for membership were re
ceived. The meeting was of a routine
character, which will be thoroughly
threshed out at next meeting. Receipts,
$43.60; disbursements, $30.60.
Shoe Cotters' Union.
The Shoe Cutters' union held an over
flow meeting last night, when on open
meeting was called to meet H. M. Eaton
representing the Boot and Shoeworkers'
union. In an address to the union, Mr.
Eaton said that there were good gains
in the sentiment in the East in favor of
union goods, both by the manufacturers
and the working people. A demand for
goods with the staimp In the West, he
found, was growing, as well, through the
members of the different unions, and as
a result he found that goods from tha
East bearing the stamp was taking the
place of even localjpoods which does not
bear the stamp. S|r. Eaton left for St.
Louis, whsre he is Interested in the same
work,

At a meeting of the Waitress' union
last night the officers were obligated and
two new memera initiated. A committee
of five was appointed to make arrange
ments for an open meeting, to be held
in the near future.
The expressmen held a very enthusi
astic meeting last night, when great
progress was made In placing the union

MRS. SOFFEL'S
THRILLING TALE
RECITES INCIDENTS O!F THE GET
AWAY FROM THE JAIIi
And Tells of the Meeting With th/»
Detectives and the Shooting:
Match That Ended in
Death of Riddle*.
PITTSBURG, Feb. 3.—The only matter
now of anything like absorbing Interest
in connection with the Biddies is the fate
of Mrs. Soffel and anything she may say
concerning the escape and subsequent
capture of the trio. She is lying in the
Butler hospital, and though still a sick
woman, her case is not considered really
serious.
She made a statement tonight to some
newspaper men in the presence of Dr.
Bricker, in which she said:
"I had not intended going with the
Biddle boys on the night of their escape,
but Ed's entreaties won me over.
She told of how she remained in tho
library on Thursday morning awaiting
the signal for the outbreak. It waa her
intension to let the boys go and she
would meet them later. While sitting Jn
the library she was almost paralyzed
when the two brothers came crashing
through the door. In their excitement
they had lost tho key to this door and
had to break It down.
Ed Made Her Go.
"Ed asked' me to come with them.
'Come with us,' he said to me. I resisted
and told them to go. They told me they
had not an instant to lose, and if the of
ficers were to get away I would be dis
covered, they insisted. Ed and Jack
went to Allegheny, where we met at
their friend's house. Well, we could not
remain there, and we were soon out on
the road again.
"The night in the schoolhouse was per
ishing cold. The exposure affected ma
greatly. Now, I want to say the state
ments that I was intoxicated are untrue.
Ed and Jack bought a half pint cf
whisky, and I drank some of it. It seem
ed to stimulate me. Now, that was the
only time I drank on the trip.
"Ed and Jack took several drinks and
I told them to go sparingly on it as they
wctld not be abie to get any more with
out detection. We secured a Bleigh and
drove through the country. Tae night
was bitter cold. There was no robe in
the sleigh and I suffered terribly. When
daylight came I had nearly perTahed from
the cold.
"Well, the next day brought us to the
terrible t\ ne- We drove through Butler
and knew that we had been suspected.
Story of the Battle.
■ Then we soon reached Mount Chest
nut and getting something to eat started
again. I was feeling 111 and frightened.
The beys learned that the detectives
were after us and they consulted aobut
defending themselves. Ed said to Jack:
'It's a life for a life; let's shoot them
down.' When they saw the detectives Ed
told Jack to get xeady. He recognized
Detective Roach.
"Detective McGovern got out of the
sleigh and was followed by the other two.
I saw Detective McGovern fire. The
shots were returned by Ed and Jack.
Then there was a fusillade of bullets. I
saw Ed and Jack fall out of the sleigh.
I was shot. The horse took fright and
ran away.
"Detective McGovern said: 'Kill all the
d d rascals,' and pointed his gun at me.
"Detective Swinehart called to him to
have mercy on me, that it was only a
woman, and not to shoot me. The liorse
turned into the field and made a circle
into the road again.
Mrs. Sofiel Jumped.
"I did not fall out of the sleigh; I
jumped out. I now remember setting my
foot or. the step and then In jumping f
foil. That was all I remember. Detec
tives Swinehart ran to me and calling to
me he asked me if I was hurt and I said
I was shot. He raised me up and held my
head on his knees. Then I felt myself
fainting, and the next thing I knew I
was in the sleigh. We arrived at the jail
and the rest is all known.
"We were forced to leave the Jail be
fore our arrangements were complete. I
learned on Wednesday that the bars on
the doors of the cells on the range were
to be inspected on Thursday. I knew th o
sawed bars on Ed and Jack's cell would
be discovered. I gained admittance to the
jail and conveyed this information to the
boys. We then agreed to go that night.
I did not intend to go with them. They
were to make their flight alone. I in
tended to go to the country for a few
days and then meet them.
"I will say nothing about my future
plans until I have consulted a lawyer."
To prevent the demolition of the cof
fins and the mutilation of the bodies of
Edward and John Biddle. which, in all
probability would follow their burial if
the spot were known generally, Harry
Biddle has arranged a secret plan to dis
pose of his brothers' remains without let
ting the- public know where or when the
interment will take place.
