Chief Salter, after. taking a view of the gutted interfor by daylight, has ralsed his first estimate of the damage done to the bullding and says now that he thinks it will cost at least $8,000 to repair. The en- tire fifth floor practically gave way in the rear and the fourth floor will have to be replaced, together with many heavy fittings around the doors, windows, stair- ways, elevator shafts and walls.

Yesterday morning he thought he was well enough ,to resume his place In the engine house, but on going Into the bright sunlight he found his oondition such that he could soarcely sce at all. Notwithstanding this, no alarm is felt for his speedy recovery. It was in the rear of the bullding that the flames prevalled to the greatest ex- tent, although they swept forward on the affected floors before they were under con- trol.

Welsenbers and his assoclates had the presence of mind to olose the fireproof elovator doors and the flames made their headway westward across the room to & small stairway, and then to the fourth floor, and likewise from the fourth to the fifth, although they did not make much progress on the latter, the only place the To0f is burned through being near the elevator shaft. The third floor was occupled mostly with mixed paints in boxes, much of which was burned and the remainder water-soaked, making it unsalable, unless new cans or labels are used. The flames wers swept forward by the breeze made by the break- ing of the rear windows. The room con- taining & big stock of brushes was flushed with water time and again and it is esti- mated the loss here will run from $5,000 o $10,000, as the water-soaked brushes are practically unmarketable. 1o the rear of the fourth floor w. much mirror glass, and this stock was almost totally rulned.

Good Citizens Durbin's Debators. President Roosevelt's letter follows: IR BAY, N. Y. Aug. 6 1908.-3& Governor Durbin: ermit me thank you as an American citizen for admirable way in which you have | cated the majesty of the law by ys &% cent action in reference to lyncg feel, my dear sir, that you have \ men your debtor, who belleve, ¢ P sseing men must, that the we'. in- deed, the very eéxistence of ablic depends on that spirit of or(b .bertly under the law which 1s as f{iw. patible { with mob violence as with any torm of despotism. Of course mob _violence 1s simply one form of anarchy and anarchy is now, as it always has been, the hand- maiden and forerunner of tyranny. 1 feel that you have not only reflected honor on the state which, for its good fortune, has you as fts chief executive, but on'the whole natfon. It is incumbent on_every man throughout this country not only to hold up your hands in the course you have been following, but to show his realization that the matter is one of vital concern to all All thoughtful men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynching In this country, and especially over the peculiarly hideous’ forms #o often taken by mob vio- lence when colored men are the victims, on sions the mob seems to lay t not on the crime, but on the criminal. Criminals Forfelt Sympathy. In a cortain proportion of these cases the man_lynched has been gullty of a crime horrible beyond description; a crime so horrible that as far as he himself {s con- cerned he has forfeited the sight to any kind of sympathy whatsoever. The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least fo sympa iy for the criminal, but to a lively sense of the train of the dreadful conse- uences which follow the course taken by the mob in exacting inhuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong. In such cases, moreover, it is well to re- member that the criminal not merely sin: against humanity in inexplable and un; donable fshion, but sins particularly aga! his own race, #nd does it a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly 0. Therefore, in such cases, the colored people throughout the land shouid In every possible way show their bellef that they. more than all others in the community, ar horrified at the commission of such a crim d are pecullarly concerned in taking ure to prevent its recur- 5 st lack of vigor in de- nouncing the crime or bringing the criminal to justice, 18 in itself unpardonable. Justice Needs Swifter Wingw. However, every -m:t -ng:u be made under ol 0 ex) e tl proceedin ‘o justice lfllic case of such an awful crime; but It caninot be necessary to do this to deprive any citizen of those funda- mental rights to be heard in his own de- fense, which are so dear to us all, which lle at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possibie by the proper administration of the laws to se- cure swift vengeance on the oriminal, and the best and {mmediate efforts of all legis- judges and citizens should be ad. dressed to securing such reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of for those misguided men who un- dertake to wreak vengeance through vio- lent methods. Men who have been gulity of a crime ljke criminal assault or murder should be isited with swift and certain punishment and the just effort made by the courts to protect them in their rights should under no circumstances be perverted into permit- ting any mere technicality to avert or de- lay their punishment. The substantial rights of the prisoner to a falr trial must of course be guarantesd, as you have justly insisted that they should be; but Bubject to this guarantee, the law must work swiftly and surely and all the agents lof the law should realize the wrong that they do when they permit justice to be d layed or thwarted for technical or insuf- ficlent reasons. We must show that the law 1s adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay. 4 Mobs Punish Innocent Felks, It 1s of course inevitable that where ven- geance s taken by a mob it should fre- quently Lght on innocent people, and the wrong done in such a case to the individual is one for which there is no remedy. even where the real oriminal the wrong done by the mob to ti munity itself is well nigh as grea pecially is this true whae the Iynching is fAccompanied by torture. There are certain hideous sights when once seem can never be wholly erased from the menial retina. | The mere fact of having seen them implies degradation. This is a thousandfold stronger when instead of merely seeing the deed the man has participated in it. Whoever in any part of our country has ever taken part in lawlessly putting to death a eriminal by the dreadful torture of fire must forever after have the awful spectacls of his own handiwork seared into his brain and soul. He can never again be the same man. Judge Lynch Preaches Lawles This matter of lynching would be a te rible " thing “even 1t It stopped with the lynohing of men gulity of inhuman hideous crimes, but as & matter of lawlessness of this type never does siop and never can stop in such fashion. Every | Violent man in the community is encour- aged by every case of lynching in which the lynchers go unpuniehed to take the {law into his own hands whenever it suits hils own convenien In the sume way the use of torture by the mob In certain cases is sure to spread until it is applied more or less indiscrim inately. The Spirit of lawlessness grow with What it feeds on, and when ‘mobs With impunity lynch eriminals for one cause they are certain to begin to lynch real or alleged criminals for other causes. In the recent cases of lynchings three- fourths were not for criminal assault at all, but for murder, Attempted murder and even less helnous offenses. Moreover, the history of these recent cases shows the awful fact that when the minds of men are habituated to torturo by lawless bodies o’ avenge crimes of pecullarly “revolting descriptions, other lawless bodfes will use torture in order to punish | ordinary type. Calls for Help to Stop Violence, Surely no patriot can fail to see the fear- | tul brutalization and debasement which the | indulgence of such a spirit and such prac- | tices Inevitably portend. Surely all public men, all writers for the dally press, all clergymen, all teachers—all who in way have a right to address the public— should with every energy unite to denounce such crimes and to support those engaged in_putting them down. As a people we clalm the right to speak with pecullar emphasis for freedom and | for fair treatm of all men without re- | gard to differences of race, fortune, creed or color. We forfeit the right 8o to speak when we commit or condone such crimes as these of which I speak The nation, like the individual, commit & crime with impunity.

WYOMING POPULACE THREATEN LYNCHING Famous Murderer Takes Companion in Prison, Attacks Guard and Flees, Maiming Ofcer Befo Succumbing to Po CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 9—(Special Telegram.)—Tom Horn and Jim McCloud made a sensational attempt to break jail this morning, but were recaptured before they had gone far. Both men were wounded, but not seriously. A mob gathered to lynch the murderers, but the officers interfered and suoceeded in calming the violence.of the ringleaders, and while there is strong talk of lynching tonight, it is belleved the citizens will let the law take its course. Horn is the al- leged paid assassin of the cattlemen, and 1s charged with the commission of numer- ous murders on the plains and in the mountains of the west. He is under sen- tenco of death for the murder of Willle Nickel, son of an Iron Mountain ranch- man, who was shot from ambush two years ago. McCloud s alleged to have murdered Ben Minnick, the Big Horn basin flockmaster, who was assassinated in his sheep wagon on Black mountain last February. It is charged that the crime and others alleged 10 have been committed by McCloud were also instigated by the cattlemen. Friends of McCloud attempted to deliver him at Thermopolls two weeks ago, and were only prevented by calling out the troops, Prisoners Darh on Jailer. The escape this morning was effected cells when Under Sheriff Proctor unlocked the corridor door to give them water. The Jafler fought the desperadoes single- handed for twenty-five minutes and wounded Horn, but was finally overpow- ered and compelled ‘to give up the keys. The prisoners attempted to mount horses and ride to the hills, but the ap- pearance of citizens armed with rifles pre- vented this. The Jaller is serlously, though not dangerously injured by the prisoners. When Proctor appeared at the cell door to give the two desperate men their break- fast they both sprang on him together He struggled violently, hurling first one and then the other to the ground and mo- mentarily freeing himself from them. There was too much at stake, however, for the prisoners to give up the fight, and as fast as they recovered thelr feet they plled on him again. Again he wrenched himself loose and etarted down the corri- dor In search of help. The brace of mur- derers followed, and, catching up with him, dodged his blows and threw themselves on to him. Another struggle, flerce, long and desperate, ensued; but the result was a foregone conclusion, Proctor's only hope being that assistance would reach him be- fore his etrength gave out. This was not to be, however, and soon the two men had him dow nd powerless. ™ Gets at Plstol.

By some oversight the des- peradoes had left him his gun and while they were busy seeking the keys he reached down into his pocket, pulled the pistol and began firing. For twenty minutes the thres men strug- gled, Proctor shooting at every oppor- tunity and Horn and McCloud striving at once to keep him from firing and to take from him the revolver they 8o unguardedly left with him at the outset. During this second fight Horn sustained two flesh wounds In the arm, but was still full of vigor, when footsteps were heard appreaching, and the brace of thugs, con- sidering discretion the better part ot valor, took to thelr heels, clearing the jall just veral persons came along the hall to the scene of battle, A general alarm was at once sounded and hundreds of angry eitizens turned out In a twinkling, armed with rifles and mounted, prepared to scour the country if need, be in search of the two most unpop- ular’criminals in Wyoming's bistory. Seek Horses in Vain, A long chase was, however, vunecessary, as neither prisoner was ablo lo secure & horse before being discovered and recap- tured. On leaving the jail the two men sc: tered and prowled around dark alley: socking o stable and a mount. Horn was first discovered, about 30 yards from the prison. He immediately saw the hopeles: ness of his position and surrendered with- out a struggle. A few minutes iater an- other band came upon McCloud in @ nearby barn, whither he was In the act of lead- ing @ horse. He tried to fight and man- ged to struggle into his saddle. A fusilade of rifie shots, however, led to his speedy capitulation. The two men were quickly housed again in the cells they 80 recently vacated, prob- ably the close proximity of the jall alone saving them from sumfmary vengeance, as after they were again behind bars the mob began to think of a lynching and gaih- ered in front of the prison as if to carry out the intention. Proctor, however, dis- suaded them. He sustained several nasty cuts and bruises in the melee, but other- wise was not serlously hurt. He was fn- clined to make light of the matter, saying to the cook: *Get breakfast ready for the prisoners and let Horn and McCloud have their fill. Shoots Boy from Ambush. | The murder for which Tom Horn was | sentenced occurred last fall in the Iron | Mountain country. From evidence given at the inquest and the trial it appears that Horn's original scheme was o shoot the father of Willle Nickel, a | rancher, but whils waiting In hiding to commit the act he was seen by young Wil- lie, who was riding after some cattle. Horn called to the boy to stop, but young Nickel refused and rode to warn nis father. Horn, who was lying behind a rock, im- mediately fired two shots, the first missing its mark and the s left side. Willle Nickel managed to keep his saddle until he reached the gate of the ranch, when he fell from his horse dead. Think Horn Hired Assassin, It was and is still generally believed in the neighborhood that Form was paid by certain large stock owners to get rid of small cattle and sheep men who owned land in the vicinity of the big companies Be this as it may, the case intensified the hgh feeling on the range and led to a crop of rumors assoclating Morn with num- erous other murders.

Burt, president of the Union Pa- cific rajlway. Those who saw the alrship descending thought there was a raan cling- ing to the ropes, but the object afterwurd proved to be the cannon which is used by | the aeronaut at Krug’s park. The balloon alighted squarely upon the top of the large chimney Mr. Burt's house and a re- port was soon current that the man had fallen down the chimney. A hurry call was sent to the police station for a ladder to rescue the supposed unfortunate bal- loonist, but as the police department does not boast of such a plece of furniture as a ladder the call was passed on the fire department, which responded promptly #ith an extension ladder. By the time the firemen arrived on the scene a man who recovers the balloon for the park management had got to the scena and explained that the balloonist was safe, as he had made his regular parachute drop. The balloon was rescued from the house- top after ome difcalty. Mr. Burt was afraid that the weight of the cloth would pull the chimney over ana injure some of the spectators, 80 he would allow no steps to be taken to get thé balloon down until after the arrival of the firemen with a lad- der. When asked what the damage was he said he thought it would amount to about half a cent. He considered the fun worth the trouble. TURTLE RULES COMMUNITY Creep! His Head at Olos Ceremony. ROME, Aug. 0.—Pope Plus X was erow today in the basilica of St. Peter's in the presence of the princes and high digni- taries of the church, the diplomats and [toman nobles and with all the solemnity and splendor associated with Ahls, the most magnificent 1ite in the Roman Cath- ol church. As Cardinal Macchi, the dean of the car- ¢inal deacons, placed the triple crown on I the head of the venerable pontiff, the throng of 70,00 persons gathered within the ca- thedral burst Into unresirained acclama- tions, the chofr intoned a aymn of triumph and the bells of Rome reng out a joyful peal. asilica Fu'l (o Overflowing. It Is Afty-scven years since the Romans and Europe assisted at such a function as that held in St. Peter's today. Tho great basilica, populasly supposed never to have been quite full, was overnowing with hu- manity. The papal throne, a bewlildering mixture of gold, red and ilver, was erected in front of the high altar. As, contrary to custom at these ceremontals, thero was no galleries, the basilica bore more of the normal aspect. On the altar, which was dressed in white, wood the famous gilt cardlesticks and a magnificent crucifix. All the avallable standing space within the cathedral was divided Into sections by wooden barriers, which to a certaln extent ept the vast crowd In order. During the early hours after sunrise a heavy fog hung over Rome, and one bank of the Tiber could not be seen from the other while from the St. Angelo bridge one seemed to look Into u fathomless abyss. The effect was especlally magnificent on entering the plazza of St. Peter's. At times Michael Angelo's great dome disappeared completely from view while at others it ap- peared through a flowing gotden mist. As the morning wore on the fog dlsappeared and the sun shone with all its southern In- tensity untll it became unbearably hot and the stones, columns and statues seemed to radiate the heat on the thousands waiting to enter the church, Dells Announce Opening of Doors, At 6 a. m. the ringing of dells announced the Imminent opening of the doors and a commotion at once began among the crowd.

In the neighborhood of Twenty-fifth and Masen streets residents are spending thelr evenings Inside thelr homes, little chlldren cover up their feet when they go to bed, und the dogs stay under the house. All this because in that nelghborhood a real, live, snapping turtle is wandering around. The turtle was the find of two bables, twins of that locality. They got it, no one seems to know where, but they brought it home. When the mother of the twins discovered the plaything the fact was an- rounced to the remainder of that part of the village by wild shouting, flourishing of a broomstick and the yanking of the twins into the house. These three are the only ones that have seen the turtle thus far, it is maid, but its presence has been felt for a block around. Bepeclally have those three-year-old twins feit it.
