\ ““A TEXAS RANGER” WILL BE HERE MONDAY NIGHT Play Is Splendidly Staged and Pro- duced by Strong Company of Capable Players. When Jack Overman left Van- derbilt University, he drifted into the Indian Territory, The terri- tory in those days was inclined to be wild; gamblers, horse theives, and bad men of all kinds, made it their resort. However, this was not “Fresh-Water Jack” Over- man’s reason for going into the new country. He was not a bad man and never looked for trouble, but trouble sometimes comes un- expectedly, and Jack got into a shooting scrape with a former schoolmate named Myer. Myex was not seriously wounded, but “Fresh-Water Jack” in order to escape, pulled out for Texas, where he bought the ¢«Lazy K.” ranch, and became acquainted with a typical old Texas rancher named Phelan.

NUMBER BADLY INJURED When Firemen Reach Scene Many Qirls Are Preparing to Jump From Windows as High as the Eighth Floor—Flames Force Some to Seek Safety on the Narrow Ledges and Others Dash Through Fire. Cincinnati, Oct. 30.—More than a score of people were injured, several dangerously, by a fierce fire in the #leven-story Neave building. Peering down through smoke and flame at the hurrying firemen more than a score of women crouched on the broad win- dow ledges trying to escape’ the flames bursting out in the offices be- hind them. Below fire ladders, life- nets and all manner of other lifesav- ing apparatus were being prepared for such as might leap from the horror of fire to the almost certain death on the street below. One young woman, crazed by fear, tore herself free from restraining friends and jumped from a tenth floor side window to an ad- joining roof five stories lower down, being dangerously injured. Above the second floor a hoseman slipped from a ladder and fell to the street, his in- juries being very serious. Broken glass injured some, scorching flame placed its mark on others. As fast as they were brought from the building the injured were taken to the hos- pitals, or, if less seriously hurt, to their homes. At least ten went to the hospitals, while more than that num- ber were taken home. The fire was brought under control in half an hour. Flames Spread Rapidly. The fire broke out in the offices of the Pittsburg Calcium Light com- pany, spreading quickly to the offices of the Pattern Makers’ league. As the flames and smoke poured out of the windows of the fourth, fifth and sixth floors many of the girls employed in the building appeared at the windows and seemed about to jump. A number threw coats out and then crawled out on the broad window ledges, where they lay flat while the flames burst through the windows, scorching the crouching women painfully. At least ten suffered painful injuries in this manner, while one of the firemen was seriously hurt by a two-story fall. Heroic work on the part of the fire- men brought the fire under control within a few minutes and the panicky occupants of the building were then brought out to safety. Although panic seemed to seize the 150 girls in the Dunleavy dressmaking establishment on the tenth floor only one, Louise Boutte, jumped. She was taken to the hospital, where her in- juries were reported to be serious. Miss Marie Brandt ran through the flames and was seriously burned ahout the head and arms, TWO OF THE CREW LOST Lumber Laden Schooner Wrecked on North Carolina Coast. Norfolk, Va.,, Oct. 30.—A four-mast- ed schooner, lumber laden, bound north, was driven ashore on the North Carolina coast during a severe north- east gale. The vessel lies on the shoals off Paul Gamiels hill, fifty miles south of Cape Henry. Three of her masts already have been washed out of the schooner since she struck and unless the seas subside she prob- ably will be washed to pieces. Meager information by relayed sea coast telephone messages tells of the rescue of six of the eight in the crew of the wrecked schooner. These were brought ashore in the breeches buoy and told of the drowning of the other two before the buoy line could be shot across the vessel by the three lifesav- ing crews standing by and powerless to launch lifeboats. In the excitement the name of the vessel was not ob- tained. Last of Famous Family Dead. Lynn, Mass., Oct. 30.—John W. Hutchinson, the last of the famous “Hutchinson family,” whose temper- ance and abolition songs before the Civil war and during that conflict made their names known throughout the country, is dead at his home, High Rock, in this city. He was eighty-seven years old and a weakness of the heart due to increasing age caused death. Physician Expires Suddenly. Spokane, Wash., Oct. 30.—Apparent- ly in good health and in the act of making a medical examination Dr. Edwin S. Hutchins dropped dead of heart failure beside the operating ta- ble in his office. James Hope, his patient, rushed from the office and summoned a druggist. Both hurried to Dr. Hutchins’ side, but the physi- clan was dead. Governor Guild Again Il Boston, Oct. 30.—Governor Curtis Guild, Jr., was seized with a severe attack of gastritis, according to a statement issued by the executive de- partment at the statehouse. As this js the third dangerous illness experi- enced by the governor within a year there is considerable anxiety over his condition. Will Fight Semi-Monthly Pay Day. New York, Oct. 30.—The New York Central Railroad company, it is an- nounced, will begin an action to test the constitutionality of the law passed at the last session of the legislature requiring railroads to pay their em- ployes at least twice a month and prohibiting holding back any of their pay. The law becomes effective next Monday and the state labor depart- ment has announced that measures Wwill be taken to enforce it. e e CALUMET Baking Powder Received Highest Award . World’s Pure Food Exposition Chicago, 1907, UNLY ONE WIFE ADMITTED Other ~“Spouse of Millionaire China- man Deported. San Francisco, Oct. 30.—The immi- gration authorities at Washington have ordered a temporary division in the family of Robert Hu Tung Bos- man, the Hongkong millionaire, who was refused admission because of his belief in polygamy and because he was accompanied by two wives. The government has ruled that_Bosman may stay in this country wit¥ one of his wives, but the other must be de- ported. The embarrassing predicament has been solved, it is said, and Mrs. Clara Bosman, who is accompanied by four children, will remain in attendance upon her husband, who is under treat- ment in the German hospital for nerv- ous disorders. Pending the decision Bosman was permitted to land by furnishing a bond. At the time his condition was precarious and with his rather exten- sive retinue he was installed in a large suite in the hospital. Alleged Registration Frauds. Jersey City, N. J., Oct. 30.—The al- leged discovery of wholesale registra- tion frauds here has caused a sensa- tion and each party is blaming the others for frauds. Chief of Police Monahan, who has men investigating the poll lists, states that there are at least a thousand false registrations in the lower wards of the city. Many names are found registered from ca- nal boats that do not exist and many false names have been registered from lodging houses, BRITISH UNEMPLOYED _ T0O FOND OF DRINK Statement of John Burns De- nounced by Laborites. London, Oct. 30.——John Burns, the labor leader and president of the local government board, drew down upon his head the anathemas of the Labor- ites when, in the house of commons, he intimated that the main disadvan- tages under which the British unem- ployed labored as compared to the un- employed in America was that the Britons drank more than their trans- atlantic confreres. Mr. Burns repudiated the sugges- tion that the difference lay in the fact that the American unemployed had mioney in their pockets. “I have been JOHN BURNS, M. P, in America three times,” he said, “and the only difference 1 saw be- tween the unemployed in America and those of this country was that the former, for a short time-after losing work, were better dressed. Many of them do mnot drink so much as do many British unemployed workmen, but they have an advantage in the number of days they are idle.” Loud cries of “It is untrue, it is a shameful comparison,” greeted Mr. Burns’ statement. Scandal Cause of Suicide. Richmond, Va., Oct. 30.—Matthew Morton, secretary of the Manchester water department, the city across the river, committed suicide by stabbing kLimself to the heart with a knife. There had been a scaadal in the wa- ter department and the superintend- ent, Charles H. Sharpe, is under in- dictment for misappropriation of funds. Morton was to have testified against him and it is thought that brooding over the exposures he would have to make caused him to take his life. Testimony Not Important. Philadelphia, Oct. 30.—The hearing in the suit instituted by the govern- ment under the Sherman anti-trust law against anthracite coal carrying railroads and mining companies, charging a working agreement among them in restraint of trade, was re- sumed here before Examiner Guil- bert. Several minor officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad company and of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail- way company gave testimony of an unimportant nature. Not a Preferred Claim. Chariton, Ta., Oct. 30.—The suit of the Modern Woodmen of America to establish its $350,000 deposit in the defunct First National bank of Chari- ton as a preferred claim has been dropped following a conference of the interested attorneys and' the receiver. Under an agréement which was reached this $350,000 deposit will take its place with the other deposits and will share pro rata with them in the distribution of the assets. The.re- ceiver expects to pay about 40 cents an the dollar. 7
