Detroit, April 5.—After burning flercely all night firemen succeeded in getting the Heyns bazaar, in the very center of Detroit’s shopping, retail and { theater district, under control. The loss is given at $350,000, mostly sustained by the bazaar, but retail shops on both- sides suffered many thousands from water and smoke. The fire broke out just as the crowds were pouring from the the- aters and while the throngs struggled with the police for a better place to see the spectacular blaze the fire companies struggled to break through the dense masses of humanity. The fire started from an explosion from some unknown cause and spread with lightning like rapidity. Several firemen were overcoms. i .

Gibbons returned Satur- day night from St. ‘Paul, where he went last Monday night on the sad mission of burying his aged mother. Mrs. Thomas Gibbons, mother of John F.

YOUNG WOMAN ON TRIAL FOR LIFE Gase Against Mrs. Harry Samp- | son Is Galted. Lyons, N. Y., April 5—With the ex- ecution of Mrs. Mary Farmer last Monday fresh in the_mind of every | She is now only twenty-three. “The only high-cl Bmfi.rlwa'é'rhwlfi‘.'u a moderate price. WE 2 LC b s o vk AR one the case of Mrs. Georgia E. Samp- son, accused of shooting to death her husband, Harry Sampson, on Nov. 1, 1908, was called for trial today. It is expected that the procuring of a jury to hear the evidence for and against the young woman will con- sume much time. Almost every one in Wayne county is acquainted with either the Sampson family or with the Allyn family, to which Mrs. Samp- son belongs by birth. The promi- nence of the two families—Harry Sampson’s uncle was the late Rear Admiral Willlam T. Sampson, who commanded the fleet at Santiago, while the Allyns are among the wealthy folks of this part of the state —has made the alleged murder the principal topic of conversation around the hearths of the county all through the winter. The shooting of Harry Sampson oc- curred at Macedon, a village about eighteen miles west of here. He was twenty-seven years old and had been married to Georgia-Allyn six years. The young couple were happy for several years after their marriage. Then, ac- cording to the stories told against the wife, she commenced to pay mysteri- ous visits to Rochester and was seen in the gay resorts of that place. The fatal quarrel with her husband fol- lowed the eipt by him of a letter addressed to “Miss Allyn.” She de- clares that he killed himself in a fit of jealousy, but her lawyers will have to explain away several strange cir- cumstances. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE CROP J. J. Hill Discusses Possibility of Bet- ter Times. Washington, April 5—*“If the taviff is given prompt attention and this vear's crops are good there should be a return of the wholesome conditions of 1905 and 1908,” said J. J. Hill, head of the Great Northern railroad, here. “It is best that normal conditions should be restored surely rather than swiftly.” Mr. Hill stated that there were 270, 000 idle freight cars in the country, which, if coupled together, would make a train extending from New York to St. Louis and then back to Baltimore. “Yet there are those who ask why car shops are not running full force and when the railroads are going to order new rolling stock,” he continued. “Orders for new cars will be'put in when the old and idle ones are used and new ones are needed. The expeditious enactment of the tar- iff legislation will help business, but it will not be a cure all.” He explained that much depended upon whether the crops would prove to be all farmers expected of them. RUSH TO WESTERN CANADA Immigration Movement the Largest in Many Years. Winnipeg, Man., April 5—The im- migration movement into Canada from the United States for March has been the largest for many years by the Soo line. The rush has kept customs, im- migration - and quarantine officials very busy. Seven hundred and twen- ty-six cars of effects, including 3,500 horses and 600 cattle, arrived during the month. Four thousand seven hun- dred settlers arrived by train and nine people were rejected. Many Institutions Benefited. Philadelphia, April 5.—Twenty-one charitable and educational institutions { are each given $10,000 in the will of the late William P. Henszey of this city. The will disposes of an estate valued at several millions of dollars. GOMING SOOR Full of Heart interest ACT 1. Scene—A dimly a sofa. m the blissful sunshine of my love.

OVER FORTY AT MEETING Those in Attendance Stand Out for an Opportunity to Vote on the Hide, Lumber, Coal, Iron Ore, Barley and Other Schedules—Only Eleven Mem- bers Present When Day’s Debate Opens in House. ‘Washington, April 5—A meeting of between forty and fifty Republican representatives was held here and or- ganized opposition to the Payne bill. It was attended by those standing out for an opportunity to vote on the hide, lumber, coal, iron ore, barley and other schedules. ELEVEN MEMBERS PRESENT Little Interest in Tariff Debate in the House. ‘Washington, April 5.—Fleven mem- bers were in thelr seats when the house of representatives met to fur- ther consider the Payne bill. It was the smallest attendance of the special session and demonstrated the fact that interest in the debate had prac- tically disappeared. ‘While declaring that he would vote for the bill Mr. Kinkaid (Rep., Neb.) entered strenuous cbjection to the taxing of those necessaries of life which were not produced in this coun- fry. The proposed tax on tea and the countervailing duty on coffee, he said, Wwere especially obnoxious to him and he urged their removal. Mr. Kinkaid also opposed the placing of hides on the free list. The Philippine islands were again heard from when Benito Legarda, res- ident commissioner, spoke in opposi- tion to the proposed free trade be- tween that possession and the United States. His views were practically along the lines of those expressed by his colleague, Pablo Ocampo de Leon. Calls It a Revenue,Consumer. Divesting himself, as he said, of all political feeling Mr. Cox (Dem., Ind.) opposed the Payne bill, advancing the argument that instead of being a rev- enue producer it would prove to be a Tevenue consumer. The placing of wood pulp on the free list and the reduction of the duty on printing paper were opposed by Mr. Malby of New York. Maintaining that the bill was dis- criminatory Mr. Sabath of Illinois at- tacked the proposed increases on the necessities of life and on wearing ap- parel, especially gloves. Free coal, iron and lumber and a tariff commission were some of the things contended for by Mr. Gronna (Rep., N. D.). The drawback section of the bill was criticised by him be- cause it would take from the revenues enormous sums of money that should go into the treasury. Mr. Howell (Utah) favored a duty on hides, lumbér and coal. Mr. Hob- son of Alabama followed Mr. Howell. A general defehse of the paper manu- fagturers was made by Mr. Swaséy of fssourl. There was no business, he sald, freer from combinatiom or con §piracy to control or raise prices than the paper business. REVOLT OCCURS IN COLOMBIA Outbreak Against Administration eof President Reyes. ‘Willemstad, April 5—Rumors have reaehed here of a revolutionary out- ok against the administration of “resident Reyes of Colombia in the Vicinity of Rio Hachs, a seaport om the Caribbean. General Iguaran is said to be the leader of the uprising. Evidences of political unrest in the Colombian republic were recorded some three weeks ago as a result of efforts of the administration to have the three sided treaty between Colom- bila, Panama and the United States ratified by the existing assembly. The people objected to this body, which is entirely appointive, taking any step of this kind and insisted that the mat- ter be referred to a national congress to be elected in July. The govern- ment acquiesced and popular elections have been called. OXFORD DEFEATS CAMBRIDGE Sixty-sixth Annual Rowing Event a Stirring Contes! Putney, Eng., April 5—The sixty- sixth Oxford-Cambridge eight-oared rowing race, was won on the Thames by Oxford by three and one-half lengths after a tussle which for three- quarters of the course was one of the most stirring contests seen on the Fhames for many years. The time was 19 minutes and 50 seconds, but had the Oxonians been pressed at the finish they could have reduced this by a good many seconds. As far as Barnes bridge it was any- body’s race, but at this point the greater weight and stamina of the dark blues told and .with a magnificent dash R. C. Bourne, the Oxford stroke, sent his boat to the front and passed the post the easiest of winners. WORKED FOR LA FOLLETTE Witness Tells of Past Activity of g Game Wardens. Madison, Wis., April 5,—W. C. Has- lem, deputy game warden of Appleton, was a voluntary witness before the senatorial primary investigation com- mittee. He had $626 of Stephenson’s campaign money, which he used up in thirty-one days in Brown county. The salary was figured at $200. Asked as to the activity of game wardens in the Stephenson campaign in compari- son with past campaigns Witness sald: 25 —— “In the past canipaigns of Lg Fol- lette we got the fair minded Demo: arats interested,” he said, “we did not this time.” Haslem said he never apent a-dollar of the state’s money ‘while doing political work. . ‘W. G. Wheeler, United States dis- trict attorney for the Western distriot of Wisconsin, was then called. He re- ceived $300 from Stephenson head- quarters to disburse in Rock county and afterwards got $300 more to use in campaign work all over the west- ern part of the state. The greater part of this last sum was expended in Douglas county. MODJESKA SINKING RAPIDLY All Hope Abandoned for Recovery of Actress. L.os Angeles, Cal, April 5,—Madame Modjeska is sinking rapidly and all hope for her recovery has been aban- doned. It is not believed that she can MADAM MODJESKA. survive more than two or three days. Dr. J. P. Boyd is in constant attend ance at her bedside. TURNS ON HEAVY CURRENT Youth Dies in Electric Bath of His Own_ Device. Indianapolis, April 5.—Conrad Sper- ka, a young electrician, died in an electric bath of his own device. He had arranged that the water in his bathtub could be charged with elec: tricity. He was found unconscious in the tub and soon died. The coroner investigated and found that Sperka had turned on to the bath a heavier current than he was accustomed to and had been overcome. He came from Germany three months ago, TAKEN TO FEDERAL - SUPREME COURT Waters-Pierce Company Appeals From Texas Declslons. ‘Washington, April 5—In behalf of the Waters-Pierce Oil company former United States Senator John C. Spoon- er has filed in the supreme court of the United States a petition for a re- hearing of the various cases brought by the state of Texas against that company and which were recently de- cided against it. These include the cases involving the appointment of a receiver for the company and the one ousting the company from the state and imposing a fine of $1,549,000 for violations of the Texas anti-trust laws. The principal reason for the petition is that the fine was so excessive as to deprive the oil company of its prop- erty without due process of law. In support of this contention attention is called to the fact that in the record of the case it was claimed that the oil company was making as high as 700 per cent on its capital, but it is set forth that while this might be true with reference to the $400,000 of cap- ital stock it was not true with refer- ence to the $40,000,000 of the assets of the company. Much stress is laid upon the fact that a large portion of the fine was based upon the Texas entitrust law of 1899 imposing a penalty of $1,500 a day aftet that law had been repealed. “We therefore submit,” says the petition, “that it is little short of confiscation for the state to have neglected to enforce the act of 1899 for seven years and after that act had been repealed and the amount of the penalty reduced to $50 per day to insist upon a verdict for $1,5600 per day for 1,033 days.” ASSISTANCE FOR HATTERS Federation of Labor Raises $200,000 by Assessment. Newark, N. J.,, April 5—Money in large amounts began to pour into the treasury of the United Hatters of North America as a result of an as- sessment of all trades unions by the American Federation of Labor. The assessment was ordered a few days ago by the general executive board of the federation and the striking hat- ters have commenced to receive sub-. stantial returns. The hatters’ union at once resumed the payment of weekly benefits to the strikers. It is expected that $200,000 will be raised by the assessment. TRIED TO SAVE HIS PARENTS Pittsburg Man Found His Mother Dead and Father Badly Burned. Pittsburg, April 5—John Ott of Heldelburg, a suburb, carried his father and mother out of their burn- ing home only to find that his father’ Wwas badly burned and his mother was dead.
