VIGTIMS TRAPPED INBURNING HOTEL Boston Tragedy Fatal to More Than a Score. NO CHANCE FOR ESCAPE Occupants of Rooms Not Aroused Until Stairways Are in Flames and Exit by Rear Fire Es. capes Is Cut Off by Locked Doors. Front Boston, Dec. 4—Twenty-seven men were killed in a fire which swept through the upper floors of the Ar- cadia hotel, a lodging house in the South End. Others are missing. Scores were injured jumping from windows and others suffered severe burns. @ Nearly all the bodies were terribly burned and mutilated, making identi- feation impossible. The victims were men in poor circumstances who had resorted to the place for the night. Caught in crowded bunks on the top floor of the five-story brick building and in the small rooms on the fourth floor they were helpless. When they were aroused the stairways were in flames and there was a mad rush for the fire escapes at the rear. Prac- tically all the men were naked. Many were rescued by firemen and police. Some escaped by walking a shaky plank stretched to an adjoining building or by jumping across a five- foot alley to neighboring roofs. The property loss is only $25,000. The fire apparently started in a hall- way closet on the street floor. The flames swept up the wooden stairs and burned through the roof. Accord- ing to William Walsh, the night clerk, there were 178 lodgers in the building when the fire was discovered by a passing newshoy. After turning in an alarm he rushed into the building, awakening the men with his- shouts. No Escape for Some Roomers. The top floor was one large room, filled with cots and bunks. On the fourth floor, where the loss of life was heaviest, there were thirty tiny rooms, like cells, with two cots in each. A hallway ran through the center. Near- ly all those occupying rooms in the front of the building perished. The men in the rear rooms, opening on the fire escape, had locked the doors whes they went to bed and those in froni were unable to reach the fire escape. When the firemen arrived flames were shooting twenty feet in the air from the windows on the fourth and fifth floors and the fire escapes and the roof were a mass of shrieking, struggling humanity. Despite shouts of assurance from below three men jumped from the roof. Two were in- stantly killed. The third, who had wrapped a mattress about himself, es- caped with a few bruises. Lifenets were quickly stretched by the firemen and many were rescued in this manner. Others were taken down ladders with the flames sweeping about them. The intense heat soon drove the firemen from their ladders and made it necessary to fight the fire from the street and from the elevated railroad structure in front of the building. Tt was nearly an hour after the fire- men arrived before they were able to enter the lodging house. FEES ABSORBED BIG ESTATE Affairs Wound Up After Being in Court Thirty Years. Deadwood, S. D, Dec. 4—It took thirty years for the courts and law- yers to gradually absorb the estate of Patrick Gorman, one of the old time mining men who died here in Decem- ber, 1882. Then, because there was nothing further left in the estate, it was decided to wind it up and the order has Ieen issued. When Gorman died the estate was valued at $40,000, part of which was in mining claims in the Galena dis- trict, near here. Years ago the original administra- tors disappeared and others have been from time to time appointed, drawing down their commissions, and the es- tate dwindled until nothing was left.

BAILY EXPLAINSHIS WAR TAX BILL (Continued from Page 1.) tions, this bill wil raise a total rev- enue of $143,581,260, a litile less than the estimates of Mr. Underwood and Mr. Simmons of the amount re- quired for the naval establishmant for the year 1914. As far as 1 can rcake out, the great body of the pec vle are vot suffering for a big na.y. The demand for naval -exploitation comus slmost eveclusively from those upon whom the super tax would fati; and 1 feel sure that they will not proiest against such as that which the big navy boomers advocate it wil! take o iot of money. I recall that the D'moiratic party at Baltimore pledg- ed itself to a lessening of the burdens of taxation, but this pledge can not be fulfilled if the big navy boomers are to have their way, or having their way, they are not required themselves to foot the bill. “Personally I regard this naval competition as in the last degree un- wise. There should indeed be a ‘na- val holiday’ and it should last, not for a year, but indefinitely. There is no more sense in nations going around armed than there is in the private citizen making of himself a walking arsensal. Just as we have progressed in civilization we have dis- pensed with the loaded hip pocket; and it is a material blot upon this civilization that we have not likewise abandoned the national hip pocket as symbolized in our great navy and our great standing army. “But if we must have this great navy, it is my thought that it should be supported by the special interests that never miss an opportunity to cla- mor for it. That is the thought which is back of my bill.” Edison’s Talking Pictures Coming Thomas A. Edison’s talking pictures are to return for a two nights engage- ment at the Brinkman Thetre Mon- day and Tuesday Dec. 8 and 9th, As on the previous engagement here, Mr. Kdison’s own selected company carry- ing three expert operators and mec- banics from his mommoth factory at East Orange, N. J., are in charge of the delicate machinery which is recessary for the proper production of Mr. Edison’s latest and most won- derful invention. The popularity of Mr. Edison’s genuine talking pictures has proven so great that 30 compan- ies are now touring all parts of the civilized world. It is a fixed policy of the Edison Road Shows who are now playing return engagements in the various cities to present each time they appear, brand new reels so that the public will be able to fel- low closely the wonderful improve- ments that are resulting, due to the persistant and tireless effort of “The Wizard”,” Edison. Women of Chicago Must Not Wear Them cn Their Hats. Chicago, Dec. 4.—Horizental plumes, algrettes, pompoms and other like adornments, which are worn on wom- en’s hats and which tickle the faces of people on the streets a:nd in street cars, must not be worn in Chicago. This edict was issued by Mayor Car ter Harrison. A Il necessary to stop what he con- siders a nuisance the mayor is in fa- vor of an ordinance similar to the one compelling women to remove their hats in theaters. The plumes are not objected to, the mayor said, but the manner in which they are worn must be discontinued. The perpendicular plumes was given the official stamp of approval. : 0DD FELLOWS HOLD mme Elect Officers For Ensuing Year—O0b- tain Grand For December 8 At a special meeting of the Odd Fellows, officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows:J.

Cass Lake Editor ‘And Wife Given to the Reception—Go South The citizens of Cass Lake last night tendered a farewell reception to Judge Frank Ives who departs Fri- day together with Mrs. Ives for Scuthern Alabama. The Judge is probably the best known newspaper editor in the state and is conceded to be the oldest active one. Judge Ives came to Minnesota 58 years ago settleing in Red Wing where he fol- lowed the law business for a num- ber of years. 36 years ago he moved to Crookston and followed the same profession and for a number of years served as Judge of the District court. In 1898 the Judge being tired of the strenuous life he was compelled to lead in the practice of law moved to Cass Lake where he started the Cass Lake Times which he has edited ever since. A large number of the citi- zens gathered to give the Judge their farewell greetings and it was a very touching seen when the veteran was presented with remebrances which brought tears to his eyes as he res- ponded to the presentation speeches. Judge and Mrs. Ives expect to re- turn in the spring. California Woman Seriously Alarmed “A short time ago I contracted a severe cold which settled on my lungs and caused me a great deal of annoyance. I would have bad cough- ing spells and my lungs were so sore and inflamed I began to be seri- ously alarmed. A friend recommended Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, say- ing she had used it for years. I bought a bottle’ and it relieved my cough the first night, and in-a week I was rid of the cold and soreness of my lungs,” writes' Miss Marie Ger- ber, Sawettle,;Cal. For sale by all dealera—Adv.

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys. ‘The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hhurts or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of pass- age or attended by a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat and get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take a tablespoon in a glass of water before breakfast and in afew days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is madz from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to .flush and stimulate the kidneys, also .to neutralize the acids in urine so it no longer causes irritation thus ending bladded weakness.
