Special by Leased Wire to The Call | SAN JOSE, Oct. 11.—Complete de- struction to the business @enter of this city is threatened by a mysterious fire which broke out in the Arcade to- night shortly after 9 o'clock. At midnight it is estimated that the dam- age already exceeds $500,000, and the fire is still beyond control. Despite heroic efforts by men of the fire de- partment, the fire is spreading by leaps and bounds, and has already en- | veloped more than a third of the block | bounded by First and San Fernardo | streets. Several firemen have succumbed and have been | | When Night Watchman first detected the fire the entire in- terior of the Arcade, near the north- west corner of First and San Fer- nando avenues, in the heart of the business district, was a mass of flames. The fire department responded prompt- 1y, but by the time the engines were in service the fire had spread to the Caiish drug store. The futllity of sav- ing the Arcade quickly was seen, and efforts were concentrated to check the spread of the flames to the bufldings on the sides and particularly in the rear. Directly behind the Arcade is St. Joseph’s day school, a Jesuit institution, and a few minutes after 11 o'clock the east wing of this building caught fire. Little hope of being able to save this structure is held out. Close to St. Joseph's school is the Garden City bank and it is feared that this, too, will burn. Great excitement prevails. When the bank’s offick arrived they turned out in full force to remove all documents and money before the fire enveloped the bank. Bystanders as- sisted in the rescue and It is believed that before the fire can reach this point @il safes and vaults will be empty. Before St Joseph's church, half a block away, a tremendous crowd has assembled and stands ready to dash into the famous library of the church to remove Its many treasures. This library is one of the most complete In this section and many of its volumes are invaluable. Its destruction would be & great calamity, not only to Ean Joss, but to the entire county and state. At midnight the following report on the progress of the flames and the de- struction they have wrought was made: The Arcade, owned by Canelo Brothers & Stockhouss company, was completely destroyed. The stock on hand approxi- mated $185,000. The Callish drug com- pany and the Hoff & Kayser shos stors, directly beyond were gutted. Stuart & ‘Williams, ladies” outfitters, 1s a total loss. The damage thus far exceeds $500,000. The origin of the conflagra- tion is unknown.

It lies within the power of the court to-impose a % fine of $1,320,000 on the defendant, as the jury brought in its verdict of guilty on each of the 66 counts. The minimum fine on each count is $1,000, the maximum $20,000. The railroad twill appeal the case, its counsel stated this evening. Judge Olin Wellborn, In his ruling on a motion to strike out the testimony offercd by the defense and In his able charge to the jury, took an advanced position on the interpretation of the Elkins law and establisbed a precedent in his broad construction of the inter- state commerce act. ‘The court holds that a rallroad can- not offer evidence of eompromises or adfustment of claims for alleged dam- age to offset positive testimony of re- bates. In conclusion, Judge Wellborn makes this assertion: “I hold that the aeceptance by the defendant of a less sum of money than that named In the tariff for the transportation of the property described in the indictment was & departure from the legal rate, and that it was no justification or a defense to ptrosecution that the acts of the carrier were done in compromise ot a claim for loss of property in tran- it 5 Corporation lawyers declared this statement went ahead of any simflar opinion uttered by federal judges on questions involving rebates. The trial just ended lasted two weeks. It was enlivened by frequent clashes between the government attor- neys and counsel for the raliroad.
