fear and was shouting like an insane per- son. He had groped his way to the door and by the time his attendant had reached him had fallen to the floor, overcome with smoke. Wattles seized him and tried to drag him down the hall to & place of safety, but Kent had become 8o crazed that it was almost impossible to do anything with him. Has to Run for Life. Wattles was finally compelled to run for his iife, as the flames were alregdy scorch- lll his elothing. He ran to a window on south side of the bullding, across which w e iron bare. Wattles managed to tear 1wo or thrée of these from their fastenings and, with two other men, who had followed him, climbed out on -the sill. ' They were 9een by the firemen, who called to them to remain where they were and they would save them. A ladder was run up as high as possible andl the two men who were with Wattles were taken down. He becamo craged with excitement, and not waiting for the return of the firemen eprang for a net which sbme men were holding on the sidewalk beneath. He fell partly.in it and partly on the sidewalk and sustained in- Juries which probably will cause his death in host time. Kent was left lylng on the floor of his room and evidently dled of suffocation. His body was badly burned after death. Three hours after the outbreak of the fire Re wae fouhd om the floor of his room, one leg belng burped to a crisp and the head burned offt. He was identified by eans of his cfothing Has Marvelous Escape. In a foom on the secorid floor was Dr. wi Runker of Chicago, who some time ago lost vae of his legs In an acel- dent. He was In beéd when the fire broke out and on golng to the door of his room fonud escape in that direction cut off. Hobbling to the window he climbed out on the window slll. He was without clothing and when he saw the great crowd below he crawled back into the room and came out again wrapped in his clothing. He was soon taken down by the firemen and when being carried away in an ambulance id that he would rather have been in- jured than. have come out through that window undressed. Later his wooden leg was found .and restored to him. He es- caped without injury of any sort. A scene that wrought to the pitch of madness the great crowd that had gathered around the bullding was enmacted at & fourth story window on the north side. Across this window was a heavy wire m and on the outside of the screen iron bars running parallel to the The space between these bars was too small to allow the passage of even a pmall boy and behind them were gathered # crowd of men, whose numbers were after- ward found to between twenty-five and thirty. Only Way to Get Out. Escape In other directions was impossi- ble, for fire filled all the halls and was steadily eating its way toward the window at which the men were standing. The one chance for life for that crowd of men lay through that screened and barred window. The men closest to the screen tore and tugged at it jn a valn effort’ to tear it from its fastenings and the men behind them fought madly to get close enough to the screen to fasten their flugers In It. So flercely did the prisoners tug at the screen that from the street below streams of blood could be eeen trickling from lacerated hands and flowed over the window sill. A number of the men at the window were In straight jackets and manacles and those, not being able to help themselves or others, were the wildest of all in their frantic efforts to break through the bars. The crowd in the street watching the desperate situation of the men behind the scene was simply an insane mob. They shouted all sorts of commands and directions at the men and gave orders to the firemen, who were ddbing all that men could do' to get Ibrougly the bars from the outside. In Helpless Rage. ' As the flames came steadily toward the men the people in ‘the street jumped up and down and screamed in helpless rage. (t seemed as though nothing could be done, ind that all the men would die within six Inches of freedom. That any of the men escaped Is owing to the work of W. E. Davis of Cedar Raplds, [a., & patient in the institution. He Induced the men (o cease thelr disconnected pull- Ing at the screen and to unite their efforts. Four men at first took hold of the screen and in almost a minute the crowd behind tbem pushed them away and before the four men could get to the screen again they were compelled to fight with thelr fists. Davis managed to get his men to the window agaln and after a few desperate pulls they muakged to tear down a portion of the screen. Nerved ta the l’lfl'l the bodies of the men swayed back nnd forth as they put all of their strength into one last effort. The tands of ofe of the men were covered with blood, but he hung on and pulled as best ©0uld nad he and all with bim were to live not ten minutes longer, unless that screen came down. Screen Comes Down. And finally down it came, in their di peration pulling with it large pieces of the mortar in which its sides. bad been en- cased. Thes screen was gone, but the bars remained and they wére heavy, placed ther for the purpose of withstanding all the ef- forts of insane men. As many men as could place their hands on the lower bar took hold. It bent almost double and six men went Lo the floor with a crash, holding onto the irof bar whigh they had torn trom its fastenings. So quickly 4id the men be- hind them spring to grasp the second bar that those who had torn down the first we badly tramped on before they could rise. Another bar was soon torn away and the path to safety was opened. Then a new danger assalled’ the prisoners. The crowd behind, hearing that at last the way was open, pushed forward with such haste that those nearest the window were nearly forced through to meet death on the side- four storles below. The men at the ‘windows fought to keep their places until the firemed could raise ladders and the men in the rear, some of whom were al- ready belog reached by the flames, fought to gain the window. Finally Breaks Down, The first man through was Dr. C. A. An- derson of Chicago. . No ladders were in front of the window and Anderson's onme bope was to reach the platform of a fire- escape in front of the window just west of where he wi He hesitated for an in- stant and then sprang for the flrrucnpc. clutohed It and was safe.

'He crawled out beside Gott and told the men inside to grasp his feet.

He and Gott then formed a chaln, Gott holding to the fire escape and Anderson, tightly held by held by Gott with one!hand, reaching out toward the window, so that the men one by one as they crowded through were able to take one step on a %edgé and make a short leap to the plattorm of the fire es- eape, down which they made, thelr was to the ground.

THE OMAHA DAILY BER: TROUBLE ~ OVER - LEASES Becretary Hitohoook Holding Off Approval of Those on Oheyenne River, CORLISS CABLE BILL LIKELY TO PASS From Contest Over Principle of a Pub- Ue or Private Cable It ¥ De- generated Into Contest Between Telegraph Companies. (From a Staft Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, June 9.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Strong pressure is being brought t6 bear on the secretary of the Interior to induce him to approve the leases for grazing lands on the Cheyenne river In- dian agency in South Dakota. - These leases haVve been pending for some time and action on them has been prevented as a result of various difficulties, which have grown out of them from time to time. The district courts have decided that the offi- clals acted clearly within their rights in leasing lands within the Standing Rock agency, and refused to grant a permanent injunction restraining the leases of land. The officials are therefore in a position to proceed, but Secretary Hitcheock declines to proceed upon his own responsibility. Sénator Kittredge of South Dakota is very urgent In his recommendations that the leases shall be approved. He was at the Interfor department today where he had a conference with the secretary and In- Aian Commissioner Jones. Secretary Hitch- cock will confer with President Roosevelt before acting. ght Between Rival Companies. The Corliss cable bill, which will prob- ably be taken up tomorrow under a rule which the committee on rules of the house will report, and debate will continue until Thursday or Friday, will not meet with the opposition anticipated unless conditions materially changed. Colomel Hepburn of lIowa, who has always opposed a govern- ment cable, Is at home attending his con- gressional convention, while Representative J. 8. Sherman of New York, who is also absent, is not expected to return to Wash- ington until the last of the week. With this strength absent opponents of the Cor- liss measure are in somewhat of a chaotic condition. Representations were made to Speaker Henderson today regarding these conditions and asking that consideration of the bill be postponed until later. The speaker, however, stated to those speaking for the opposition that the decks had to be cleared for the Philippine civil government bill; which will be taken up on the 18th, and with the irrigation bill pending it would be out of the question to postpone considera- tion of the measure which has excited so much attention throughout the country. Cable Bill Likely to Pi The fight over the Corliss bill has re- solved itself in very large measure to a fight between the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies. The Mackay inter- ests are ambitious to construct a cable which they can control la conjunction with their overland and Atlantic systems, while the Western Union is desirious that the government should construct the cable that all companiet should have equal benefit. The fight on the rule, which will be re- ported tomorrow, will uncover the hand of the opposition. Representatives Richard- son and Underwood, democratic leaders, will oppose the rule as strongly as they know how, and it is stated tonight that the democrats will vote solidly against the Corliss bill. | Gengral.

Pennypacker of Philadelphia, and Attorney General John P. Elkin, with ex-Lieutenant Governor Lewls A. Walter of Scranton claiming to hold the balance of power. Much depends on the thirty-six delegates from Allegheny county and until it i{s known for a certainty how they will vote there will hardly be a ma- terial change in the situation. These dele- gates will arrive tomorrow. and it 1s ex- pected they will have a caucus on how they shall vote Wednesday.

He argued that the transfer of the forest reserves now under the In- terior department was an impracticable and radical chenge of policy which would lead to a ruction between the Interior and | Agricultural departments and lead to the creation of many new offices. There are now forty-one reserves, contalning 46,000, 000 acres. These reserves are now open to entry under the mineral laws. They also contain thousands of persons living on pertected or unperfected entries made under the land laws, and he argued that all the public land and legal questions arising would have to be settled by the Interlor department and lead to endless conflict with the Agricultural department. HARRIS FOR NICARAGUA WAY K Skilled Engineer, Adoption of Senator, Advoeates Hepb: WASHINGTON, June 9.—An interesting contribution to the discussion of the isth- mian canal project was made in the senate today by Mr. Harris of Kansas, a member of the committee on interoceanic canals, who is also an engineer of recognized abil- ity. His discuseion of the technical de- tails of canal construction was listened to with profound attention. He strongly ad- vocated the selection of the Nicaragua route. He maintained that it was entirely feasible and practicable from an engineer- ing standpoint and sald that some of the difculties presented by the Panama route were insuperable—notably the construction of the Bohio dam. Mr. Harris went into minute detalls of the Panama proposition, his point being to show that the valuation of the property of the Panama company, both as to the canal and the rallroad property, was not only excessive, but that much of it, being use- less for our purpones, would have to be re- placed. He refeired to “‘the legal and dip- iomati¢ diffecences which surround the Panama Caral company on all sides”” and declared that they were absolutely insep- arable. Mr. Morgan discussed briefly the diplo- matic negotiations between the United States and the governments of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to show that nelther Nica- ragua nor Costa Rica could have claims against this government through the old Maritime Canal company. He pointed out that {t was through the wisdom and fore- sight of Willlam McKinley that the United States haa acquired the exclusive right to construct a capal through Nicaragua and Costa Rica and he declared that this “was | tiverguarantee, no cure, no pay.
