6,000,000 AND SIX LIVES LOST
New York, jan.9. The immense
marble and granite home ot the
Equitable Lifi Society, covering a
whole block in lower Broadway, an
historic landmark cf New York's
early period o: skyscraper building
and one of the city's important fin
ancial centers, was destroyed by fire
with a loss of six lives and probably
$6,000,000 in property. A dozen
persons were injured.
Valuable records, including the
biography of E. H Haniman and
two priceless libraries were destroy
ed. A number of banking houses-.and
railroads had offices in the building.
The fne was one of the most
spectacular ever witnessed here.
An officer of the Equitable said
the society's own loss probably
would not amount to more than
$300,000, covered by its own conti
nent insurance fund, and that dup
licates cf every record destroyed are
stored in subsidiary offices.

Fire Saturday
Saturday at noon the office of the
Southern Furniture Manufacturers
Association in the Wachovia bank
building was badly damaged by fire
and water. Many valuable records,
books, etc., were destroyed. The
fire was caused from the heating
apparatus, it is thought.
Sunday afternoon the Kress store
011 South Main street was discov
ered to be on fire. Thanks to the
quick response of the firemen the
fire was put out. 1 he Are would
have destroyed the goods quicker
than the sign above the store would
have forced them, as it reads.

TRAGEDY IN DEATH OF CHIP
PEWA CHIEF
Last Of Chippewas Dies And With
Him Dies Many Ancient Legends
And Traditions Of His Own
People.
The last chief of the Chippewas
is dead. There is something mote
tragic than death in that statement.
It means oblivion. , Ancient legends'
songs, history and the traditions of
his people were said to have been
recorded in Chief Satago's memory.
He was called a living Indian epic.
That is the pity of it. The Amen
can Indian epic must always die
with the last of the tribe. Long
fellow appreciated the poetical value
of the life of the Indian, He spent
much time in the lodge of Chief
Satago and embodied much of the
material he obtained there in "Hia
watha." As. the last of the various
tribes die and there are only 'a tew
left to die and we are always re
minded of "Hiawatha." It is ' Hia
watha" alone that attempts to im
mortalize the strange, romantic peo
ple, , .
We have lost our opportunity to
claim an epic from our Indian tribes,
although we might have had a
"Beowulf" assavageand as myster
iousty powerful .as the English poem.
The ballads of Scotland coulu not
portray a more splendid courage or
those of Ireland and Walesa more
weird charm than could have been
found in the stories of the Indians.
Tne lolklore of the European coun
tries could have produced nothing
more picturesque. And all we have
left to uSjare the stories of the strug -
gies oeiween inc inuians anu uiej
white people'and the Indian films at j
the picture shows. The picture
show man never lets anything get
away from Jiim, but he realizes the
vilueonlyof Indian stories to the
detriment ot the Indian character;
and of the really poetical interest of
the Indian life. There was an at
tefnpt to write an merwan opera
with an Indian subject, but it was
Tike the picture shown if- was only
the representation of an ida about
the Indian. Thi truth alone was
worth writing about-, and it has been
foigotte.t. We have lost our oppor
tunity to contribute a unique and
valuable literature to the worlc".
And still we are a very interest
ing little country today. Even
though we are civilized 'we are pic
turesque jnd strange, and the things
we are doi.12 while this country is
in the process of the making will be
ot tremendous interest to the people
who are coming arter us. If a tew
of our prolific writers care to stop
and take a look at us and write
down the truth about us it is bafely
possible that we may last longer
than our Indian predecessors. We
are through the painful stage of his
torical novels and are emerging from
me spasm ot sex novels, it is al
most time for something real and
something big. America is getting
almost big enough to have a real
literature. Flashes of it illuminate
an 1 startle us new and then Each
new thinking novel is heralded as
"the great American novel." It is
encouraging to know that people are
looking for "the great American
novel," but we may soon demand
something more th-in that. What
we should be looking for is a great
American literature. That means a
literature that expresses the truth
about life, that is filied with the
poetry of lire not the poetry ot
ideals, but the poetry of real things.

MANAGE OP STANDARD
MIRROR! COMPANY HERE
IS
ARRESTED
Frank Winieskie Held in Ten
Thousand bond, Charged
with Eiribezzlement Thir
ty Thousand Officers of
Compani Prefer Charges
Mayor aikd Other Citizens
Here Sigh bond - Hearing
in CienAboro today.
The following is from the Greens
boro News in regard to the High
Point sensation! of the week:
Charged withl the embezzlement
of $30,000, Frarkk Wineskie, director
and manager l0f the High Point
branch of the Standard Mirror com
pany.was am std in his office there
late Wednesday lafternoon. The ar
rest was made! by Deputy Sheriff
Jonn weatnenyi who, after a con
ference with attojrneys here and the
magistrate issiinlg the warrant, ac
cepted a justified! bond in the sum
of $10,000 for tl
e appearance of
Wineskie before J
sticeof the Peace
D.H.Collins this
(Thursday) after-
noon at 3 o'clock.
The warrant was
issued yesterday
fternoon by Jus-
tice Collins and w
of Frank McKni
s at the instance
t, of Pittsburg,
president of the
tav.Nrd Mirror
company.
T I i . I ' P. .
lmmemaieiy auer issuance -ope
paper was placed in the hands tnf
Deputy Weatherly and at 2 o'cloc
he left for High Point in an automo
bile. A telephone message from him
a short time afterwards stated that
he had no trouble in finding his man
and making the arrest, and was to
the effect that Wineskie's attorneys,
Messrs. Roberson and Barnhardt,
were ready to draw up and justify a
bond in any amount required These
attorneys later called Justice Collins
and Attorney G S Bradshaw, who
represents the prosecution, and by
telephone a bond of $10,000 was
consented to.
It is said the decision to prosecute
Wineskie was reached Wednesday
j morrung an(t then only after several
conferences and a careful investiga
tion. This, it is further claimed, re
vealed the fact that the shortage
would reach certainly $30,000, and
that the embezziements had extend
ed through a penod of six or seven
years. Wineskie, it is said, had no
intimation of arrest until an hour
before Deputy Weatherly arrived, a
High Point friend in some manner
learning of the warrant and advising
: tne accused
nit
kes Arrest Calmly- .
Deputy Weatherly found Mr.
Wineskie in his office and he took
his arrest calmly. He claims that
an election of officers was to have
been held next week and that it
was the general understanding that
he was to be promoted to a much
higher position with the company.
This was opposed by certain officers,
he alleges, and the warrant against
him is solely an effort to "freeze'
him out.
Claim Positive Evidence. . 1
Though counsel here will make
no statement pending the hearing
tomorrow, it is learned trom an
authoritative source that the basis
of the charge is that Wineskie, as
manager of the Standard Mirror
. ! fomnnnv is nllei'ed to have sold a
I 1 o
material called "waste-' and very
valuable in the construction of mir
rors, and to have applied the funds
received from such sales to his per
sonal use. Another feature learned
from the same source is that the
officers of the company have for
several months been aware of the
- 1 alleged thefts and misappropriation
of funds and that eviceace work-
of funds and that evidence work
ed up by detectives is positive,
that the company knows Wineskie
had little when he went to High
Point and that since going there he
has made investments even exceed
ing the total amount of his salary
and commissions. The case against
him, it is claimed, has been care-1
fully worked up by detectives, and I
counsel point out the fact that the I
charges are made by men who are
not only responsible, bat who have
been friends and benefactors of the
accused.
