RELIEF TRAIN 1S WRECKED — Fifteen Passengers Fleeing From Burning Town Are Cremated in Wreck. DEATH AND RUIN EVERYWHERE Whole Northern Section of Michigan Is Ablaze—Several Towns Are in Peril. Alpena, Mich., Oct. 18.—Every re- port received from the forest fire- Swept country to the northeast of this city increases the extent and gravity of the fire situation and the death list which started yesterday with the cremating of fifteen people in the Metz relief train is steadily growing. Presque Isle and Cheboygan counties are all aflame, and the seventy-five miles between this city and the city of Cheboygan are reported to be almost a solid mass of fire. Alpena county is ablaze in every direction. Reports of fatalities are coming in from many places, but it has been impossible as yet to compile anything like an au- thentic life of the fire victims in the burned district. Villages Are Destroyed. From Metz township the cremation is reported of Henry Kemps, his wife and two children, in their farm house, with a third child missing and proba- bly burned to death in the fields. Bol- ton, South Rogers and Metz are among the destroyed villages. La Roque is threatened and there is little hope but that it will be destroyed be- fore morning. Only the church is left at the village of Cathro, and it is crowded with refugees from the vil- lage and nearby farms. A report brought in from Alcona county says a strip twenty miles wide, from Hub- bard lake to the Au Sable river, is burning. Fifty Farms Swept by Fire. More than fifty farms are reported to have been swept by the fires and the buildings destroyed. At Presque Isle, on Lake Huron, Keeper Garrity was compelled to abandon the govern- ment fog signal and flee for his life. Wire communication throughout the burned district has been very slow and uncertain. Scores of poles have been destroyed and many miles of wires are down. With improved com- munication to-day, it is feared that the death list and the amount of property loss will be materially greater. Spend Night of Horror. Sixty passengers on a train which left Cheboygan Thursday night for this city spent a night of horror at La Roque. Flames surrounded the train and it was impossible to proceed or retreat from them. Huddled in their cars the terrified passengers spent the night in momentary expectation that the train would be consumed. It was saved, however, by hard work, and the passengers came on to Alpena yesterday afternoon. Rogers City was threatened yesterday afternoon, but when the last report came out it was hoped that the town could be saved. Two Cities Threatened. Both Cadillac and Traverse City re- port that the fires in the northeastern part of the state have started again with great force and are threatening those cities. The fire is only a quar- ter of a mile away from Traverse City on the southwest. From the Upper Peninsula came re- ports that the fires in Chippewa and Houghton counties are very danger- ous and spreading rapidly. Fifteen Burned to Death. Alpena, Mich., Oct. 18.—Fifteen peo- ple lost their lives last night in the burning of the Detroit & Mackinaw relief train which was carrying the in- habitants of the little village of Metz, twenty-three miles north of here, in safety from the forest fires which were sweeping away their homes. The ill-fated train was ditched by spread- ing rails at Nowicki siding, a few miles south of Metz, and the terrified refugees were forced to abandon the cars and rush for safety either down the track with burning forests on either side, or into the plowed ficlds near the siding. Flee Through Fire. Brakeman William Barrett sprang into the water tank behind the engine, only to be literally boiled to death as the flames swept over it. Engineer Foster and Conductor Kinville fied down the track through the fire and smoke and were the first to reach the village of Posen and report the wreck and ask for assistance from here. Be- hind them straggled a burned and wounded procession of refugees from the wrecked train. It was a fearful march over the hot ties, with the flames from the burning woods on either side of the track roar and snap- ping in their faces. Many Are Burned. Engineer Foster was terribly burned about the head and face, but it is thought he will survive. Conductor Kinville was badly scorched. James White was totally blinded by his burns. John Nowicki, Sr., and his wife and Mrs. Albert Mardies and her young son were also seriously burned. Many more of the refugees are suf- fering painful burns. The survivors of the frightful experience seemed dazed by their peril and sufferings. It was difficult to get any coherent state- ments from them as to loss of life in the wreck or as to whether there had been any people left behind in Metz. Charred Bodies Found. Eleven of the victims were women and children, who were unable to es- cape. Their charred bodies were found in the ruins of the car, when rescuers reached the scene. Four ad- ditional fatalities occurred in the neighborhood of the wreck last night. f Alpena, Mich.; Oct. 20. — Reports from the flame-swept counties in this section of the state indicate improve- ment in the fire situation. But the necessity for immediate substantial relief for the refugees is hourly be- coming greater. The winds lessened materially yesterday, which greatly aidtd the efforts of the fire fighters. But the temperature began to drop yesterday afternoon and the colder weather will cause great suffering among the homeless, burned-out refu- gees. Are in Abject Need. Camped in the open fields or hud- died together in the few buildings and shacks left in the little communt- ties which have been fire-swept are hundreds of men, women and chil- dren who are in abject need of the ab- solute necessities of life. Many of them were driven from their homes in the night only partly clad. Not only the stores and houses have been de- stroyed, but the crops are also gone -and the unfortunates must look to the outside for food as well as shelter. Take Up Relief Work. The relief problem is occupying the active attention of this city and all of the communities in this section of the state which escaped the fires. Three cars of food and two of building ma- terials were shipped to the Presque Isle county sufferers from here yes- terday afternoon. Alpena is still surrounded by fires but is not in danger unless the wind shifts to the north. Up to noon yes- terday forty-four dwelling houses and sixty-five barns had been reported de- stroyed in Alpena alone. The smoke was so thick that it was impossible to see across the street. Death Roll Is Heavy. The death roll from the forest fires has now grown to forty-eight and may reach a hundred. Scores more of the refugees, who may have fled from their homes to nearby settlements, are missing. The property loss is simply incal- culable. The value of timber destroy- ed will run into millions. The aggre- gate losses of villagers of Metz, Bol- ton and South Rogers is hundreds of thousands. There are perhaps 100,000 persons homeless as a result of the fires of the last two days, and most of these have lost everything they possessed, Governor Issues Appeal. Detroit, Oct. 19. — Gov. Fred M. Warner yesterday issued an appeal to the people of Michigan for contribu- tions, and Mayor William B. Thomp- son of Detroit has called a special meeting of the common council for this morning to consider the matter of contributing relief. A public meet- ing will also be held in the mayor’s office at noon for the same purpose. The Detroit board of commerce held a meeting at the Detroit club last night to arrange the details of. ship- ping a preliminary carload of provi- sions and bedding north at noon to- day, and Gov. Warner has directed Adjt. Gen. McCurren of the state troops to take the initiative in simi- lar measures at Grand Rapids. The Detroit & Mackinac Railroad compa- ny has already sent a dozen carloads of provisions, lumber and hay into the district burned from Bay City. —____ Found Dead in Hotel.

BOY BORROWED ENORMOUS SUM Tow-headed Youth Is Star Wit- ness in Trial of Banker Morse in Federal Court. OWED $350,000 AT ONE TIME Signed Notes at Direction of Employers; Youth Astonishes and Startles Court. New York, Oct. 18—A tow-headed youth of nineteen, until recently a $12 a week clerk in a broker office, was the star witness yesterday at the trial in the criminal branch of the United States court of Charles W. Morse, financial man and promoter, who, with Alfred H. Curtis, former president of the National Bank of North America, is charged with having violated the national banking laws. In the testimony of Edward P. Mox- ey, @ government examiner, it has been revealed that a person by the name of Leslie E. Whiting had been one of the heaviest borrowers from the National Bank of North America, at one time owing the institution as much ag $350,000. Boy Borrows Big Sums. There was hardly a week went by during the year of 1907, the testi- mony showed, that Whiting did not borrow $100,000 or more, giving Ice stock, principally, as security. It al- ways appeared in the records as pre- sented, however, that the enormous sums of money borrowed by Whiting were credited to the account of Charles W. Morse. At the conclusion of Examiner Mox- ey’s testimony, Leslie Whiting was called to the stand, and those in the court room who had expected to see a dignified, shrewd looking business man step forward were astonished to see a smooth-cheeked boy of under twenty years walk nervously to the witness stand. A smile swept the room and Judge Hugh rapped sharply for order. After Whiting had been made to de- scribe how he had come to sign the notes which made him indebted to the bank for such large amounts he was asked: Signed Notes for Employers. “Could you have paid this note I hold here for $82,000?” “That—me?” answered the startled boy. ‘“No—no, I couldn’t.” “Could you have paid a note for $1,0002” asked the attorney for the prosecution. “No, sir,” responded the boy, a trifle more assured. For an hour longer the youth was kept on the stand while a bunch of let- ters, both in the signature of Leslie E. Whiting and directed to the National Bank of North America, were read. The witness explained in answer to questions that he had been sent to the bank by his employers to sign the notes. He said he knew he was incur- ring an obligation, but felt sure his employers would protect the notes. FIERCE STORM DELAYS FLEET. One Sailor Washed Overboard, and Several Battleships Damaged. Tokyo, Oct. 18—The delay of the American battleships in arriving at Yokohama was due to a tremendous storm off the north coast of the island of Luzon of the Philippine group. The storm began on the morning of Oct. 12 and continued until the afternoon of Oct..13. One man was drowned and some damage resulted to the fleet. These details were communicated to the Associated Press at Tokyo by wireless telegraph from the battleship Connecticut, through the special cour- tesy of the government. The fleet will arrive at Yokohama at 9 o’clock on the morning of Oct. 18. The wireless dispatch from the bat- tleship Connecticut was dated 5:30 a. m., Oct. 17, and was sent by way of the Shimonoseki wireless station to this place. It did not give the details of the storm encountered by the fleet, put simply stated that on the morning of Oct. 12 the fleet ran into a terrific gale that assumed the proportions of a typhoon off the northern coast ot Luzon, Tremendous seas were kicked up and one man was washed -over- board. Vice Admiral Saito has received a wireless message from Rear Admiral Sperry thanking him for the welcome extended to the fleet by wireless tele- graph. No Sunday Fun for Memphis. Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 18.—In the ef- fort to suppress all forms of amuse- ment on Sunday Judge Moss yester- day instructed the grand jury to in- dict all managers of playhouses and also to secure the names of all per- sons attending on the Sabbath.

ATTEMPT TO KILL PRIEST Priest Knocks Culprit Down, but He Makes His Escape by Tramping Over Children. Chicago, Oct. 20.—An attempt to as- sassinate Rev. J. W. Fielding, pastor of the Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church, was made yesterday aiter- noon. After twice shooting at the priest in the Sunday school hallway of the church, the would-be assassin, knocking down scores of children standing in his way, ran into the street and escaped. The shooting and the screams of the children created wild excitement in one of Chicago's fashionable residence districts. It was in the middle of the after- noon that the cuiprit attracted atten- tion. He had been seen loitering in and about the church for some time. Shoots at Priest. Aroused by the man’s actions, Fa- ther Fielding approached him, saying, “What are you doing here?” “[’m praying,” replied the stranger. As the priest turned his back the stranger stepped into the haHway and drew a revolver and pressed it against his intended victim. Father Fielding immediately showed fight, Kmocking the weapon away just in time to escape a bullet which grazed his head and clipped a lock of hair from his temple. At the same time the priest knock: ed the culprit down by a blow on the face. Hurriedly scrambling to his feet the man continued down the hallway, pushing and trampling over children. At the bottom of the stairway he turned and fired another ineffective shot at the priest and then still blan- dishing the revolver ran into the street. A dozen children, accompa- nied by Father Fielding, ran in pur- suit and were joined by a crowd of enraged citizens, but the man escaped. Plot to Kill Several Priests. Information was obtained by the po- lice late last night which led them to believe that the would-be assassin was the same man who for several days has been loitering suspiciously about the Church of the Holy Angels and about St. Xavier’s academy, both of which are located in the same side of the city as Corpus Christi church. Under the conviction that one or more men had entered into a conspiracy to kill not only Father Fielding but oth- er priests as well, the police have placed extra watch over these places, with instructions to question all sus: picious persons. KILLS MISTRESS,AND HIMSELF Nebraska Millionaire Telephones Clerk “Something Is Going to Happen.” Omaha, Oct. 20.—“Notify my broth- er that something terrible is going to happen in a few minutes,” phoned Sewell Sieuman, a millionaire in dealer, to his clerk, just at midnight Saturday night. An hour later, when Sieuman was found, he was lying dead across the feet of Eva Hart, with whom he was infatuated, and who w ‘s de each with a bullet hole in the ri temple and the revolver still in Sie man’s hand. Sieuman was one of the best known grain men in the W s hav ing a line of twenty grain elevators in Nebraska and Iowa, he operated # line of bucket shops in a number of Western cities and towns, securing Chicago board of trade quotations, de- spite the efforts of that organization to prevent him doing so. He had been fighting the Chicago board _ several years and the secret of his quotations is has never been discover Sieuman, who was fi years old and had a wife and family from which he has been separated a few months, had been infatuated for three years with Miss Hart, who was twenty-four years old. Miss Hart lived with her brother in a home said to have been furnished by Sieuman. Evidently Sieuman had _ shot the woman, and while waiting for her to die wrecked the house, afterward kill- ing himself. On a table was a note saying that Miss Hart had turned him down and he did not care to live without her. Yesterday it was learned that Miss Hart had announced her intention to break the relations with Sieuman and leave the city to lead a better life.
