THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, 'FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1903.
FIRE PUT OUT QUICKLY
AX OTHER. BLAZES' OX BAST SIDE
DOSS $2000 DAMAGE.
Flawes in Bnlldins eB East Harrison
aBd East Eleventh. Street Barn
HeXe i& Roof.
At 3:45 o'clock yesterday morning a fire
broke out In the two-story frame building
on the northwest corner of Bast Har
rison and East Eleventh streets, and the
damage by fire and water to the struc
ture and contents amounted to about
52000. Two lower corner rooms were oc
cupied by A. R. Wallace with a large
stock of groceries, and one room was
occupied by Charles Hlllyard as a meat
-market. The second story, cut up Into
apartments, was occupied by four fam
ilies. The Are started In the rear of the
meat market, the Inside room, and quick
ly ascended to the second etory, where it
spread through the roof and the west side.
The alarm was Btruck from box 216 at
4:45 o'clock and the hose company, from
Stephens' addition, which had but a short
building. District Engineer Holden soon
4 followed.
The Are was etuDDorn ana it
was necessary to flood the upper portion
of the building before it was got under
control. Fortunately there was little
wind, or the cottages occupying the re
mainder of the block to the northward
would have been endangered. The work of
the firemen was excellent in confining the
Are to the top of the building.
The building is the property of an eetate
at Oregon City, and is in charge of E. E.
Charman & Co., of Oregon City. It will
cost about $700 to repair the damage,
which Is fully covered by Insurance. A. R.
"Wallace said he carries $1000, but he esti
mates his loss, caused by water, above
that figure. The meat market in which
the fire started suffered no loss. From the
iback end, where there Is a boiler, the
Jlre ran up the partition to the second
story. It had rrobably been smoldering
since the evening before. The fire entered
the bedroom of Mra. J. String first, burn
ing her furniture. Her loss Is estimated
at $300. She had just taken out a policy,
and was covered. The "Willis and "Wood
Tum families and Mrs. Hlat occupied the
remainder of the apartments. Mrs. Hlat
suffered about $200 damages. The others
about the same amount. These were not
insured.
PARENTS MEETING. '
Superintendent Rifrlcr and Mrs. C. A.
Cobarn Were the Speakers.
A well-attended parents' meeting was
held In the assembly hall of the "Williams
Avenue Schoolhouse yesterday afternoon.
In honor of the occasion the platform had
been attractively decorated with Oregon
grape and a profusion of the National
colors. M. L. Pratt, the principal, re
marked at the opening that the object of
the gathering was so well understood that
further explanation was not necessary.
He announced the first number, a selec
tion by the "Williams-Avenue School or-
chestra, which was received with ap-'
plause.
City Superintendent RIgler- was Intro
duced, and he talked entertainingly of the
work of the school. He said that In a
former address he had spoken of the re
lation of the school to the home and the
necessity of promoting a more cordial
condition. He had now come to speak on
other lines. Mr. RIgler answered some
of the severe criticisms that had been
made on the public schools for the slip
shod and inaccurate knowledge of spelling
and writing the English language pos
sessed by graduates. He explained at
length the methods adopted, and contend
ed that the public schools are dolnc good
work along these lines. Mr. RIgler showed
Just what the schools are doing In these
branches for the better understanding of
the parents present.
At the close of Mr. RIgler'a talk. Miss
Xilzzle Hoben rendered a vocal solo, and
Mrs. C. A Coburn was introduced by Mr.
Pratt as being greatly Interested in the
public schools. Among other things, in
the course of her address. Mm Coburn
said:
"Experience meetings furnish scope for
an expression of ideas that has been
deemed profitable In. religion. They may
also be classed as protltable for the two
elements that constitute the ruling forces
of education, the parental and the teach
ing forces. It is plain that to promote
the best Interests of the pupil during his
or her sschool life these two elements
should come together. That they do not
always do so Is a matter to be regretted,
and, indeed, deplored. It may not be said
that the one is to be blamed or the other,
when a conflict in opinion uixrn matters
of expediency or discipline in the school
room takes place between parent and
teacher. Individual Inquiry alone can de
cide this point, but In this respect at least,
both have been mistaken or derelict. If, In
attempting to discharge the duties of a
joint commission, they have failed to be
come, to some extent, acquainted with and
Interested In each other. It is to correct
this mistake, this sin of omission, as I
understand it. that these mothers meet
ings, so called, were Inaugurated In the
schools', and here let mo suggest that In
asmuch as parentage 5s distinctly a part
nership matter business. If you will I see
no reason why the fathers should be shut
out of the title of these meetings, but
most cordially second the suggestion that
they be called 'parents' meetings. TITe
idea expressed In this effort Is to make
parents and teachers acquainted with each
other so that emergencies in discipline
may be avoided through co-operation of
the directing and governing forces at
home and the similar forces In school.'
After the close of Mrs. Coburn's address
the orchestra rendered another selection.
Principal Pratt invited the guests to re
main and get acquainted with the teachers,
Tvhlch they did.

WILL REVEAL ALL FACTS.
Inquest Into Burdick Murder "Will
Draiv Out All Evidence.
BUFFALO, N. T., March 12. The In
quest Into the murder of Edwin LuBur
dlck will be held next Tuesday. Police
Judge Murphy said today that he would
make the most complete investigation ever
held in this county.
The fact that all persons known to be
concerned In the Burdlck mystery will give
In public the statements they made before
the District Attorney will doubtless make
the proceedings before Justice Murphy at,,
the inquest, which will begin next Tues
day, most interesting.
Another move having an important bear
ing on the Burdlck case was decided upon
today after District Attorney Coatsworth
had conferred with Chief of Detectives
Cusack. The authorities have determined
to obtain the telegrams that passed be
tween Mrs. Burdick and Mrs. Hull before
the murder of Burdlck. The grand jury Is
now In session, and the District Attorney
can conduct John Doe proceedings to re
quire the Western Union to produce the
telegrams. They were sent on the Mon
day and Tuesday before the Thursday of
the murder, when Mrs. Burdick. who saw
Arthur R. Pennell near New York, tele
graphed to Mrs. Hull, who replied. The
Western Union refused to produce the
messages, and for that reason today's
proceedings were decided upon. The tele
grams may not be material In the case,
but the authorities want to see them.
A list of persons to be subpenaed to the
inquest was made up today, and some of
the subpenas were ssrved tonight. The
police believe the inquest will reveal Im
portant developments.
Edwin T. Burdlck's will, which Is to be
offered for probate tomorrow, cuts off Mrs.
Burdick and bequeaths the estate, share
and share alike, to three children. D. K.
Dunstan, A B. Kellogg and George C.
Miller are named as executors. A clause
In the will naming the three executors as
guardians for the children will likely be
contested on the ground that the appoint
ment is void because Mrs. Burdlck Is still
alive. The claim Is that the law nullifies
the appointment by "will , of a guardian
where there is a surviving parent, unless
both parents joined In the appointment.
Burdlck's estate is worth about $80,000,
consisting of $55,000 In property and $25,000
life Insurance.
Mrs. Seth T. Payne, who is one of the
witnesses wanted for the Burdick Inquest,
left the city tonight. Whither she went 13
not definitely known by the police.
KILLS HIS WHOLE FAMILY.
Insane German Farmer Makes Ilia
House a Slauirhtcr-Pen.
ST. LOUIS, March 12. Adolph Krauss, a
German farmer living 21 miles west of
St. Louis, near Bellfontalnc, tonight
killed his wife and six children with a
sledge-hammer. He then knocked him
self unconscious with the hammer, and
at midnight was dying. It is believed
that Krauss suddenly became Insane. He
had the reputation among his neighbors
of being a quiet, Inoffensive, industrious
farmer, and no other causo for the crime
but insanity has been assigned.
About 7 o'clock tonight, John Krauss, a
brother, happened to go to Adolph's
house to call. The lights were out, but
the door was unlocked, and this aroused
his suspicion that something was wrong.
He entered the house, and, upon strik
ing a light, was horrified to And that
there had been a terrible tragedy.
From all that can be learned, Adolph
Krauss entered the house some time this
afternoon, armed with a sledgehammer.
Without warning he struck his wife on
the head, killing her instantly. Then,
seizing his first child, aged 12, he like
wise dealt a murderous blow. The other
five children were killed similarly, the
last being a 6-months-old baby. Krauss
then placed .the seven bodies side by side
on the floor in one room. He then seized
the hammer and dealt himself a blow
on the skull which fractured it and
knocked him unconscious, his body falling
almost In line which those of his victims.
When John Krauss discovered the trag
edy tonight he immediately summoned the
authorities. The bodies were taken In
charge by an undertaker, but the Coroner
did not move Krauss, who apparently will
be dead by morning.

MAY POOL THEIR FRUIT
PROMINENT GROWERS WILL MEET
TOMORROW.
Failarc te Form Large Combination
CaHses a Nctt Movement te
Be Undertake a.
Members of the Multnomah Fruitgrow
ers and Market Association will hold an
important meeting Saturday evening In
Odd Fellows' Hall, corner of Grand ave
nue and East Pine street. At this meet
ing will be determined what course will
be followed through the season. On ac
count of the failure to organize a large
fruit union, or combination, as was de
sired, each grower may go It alone this
year, as heretofore. However, a consid
erable number of well-informed and prom
inent growers are considering the matter
of pooling their berries and handling them
as a unit. Should this be undertaken at
least ten growers with large acreages
LjViU go Into the pool.
G. H. Hunt, secretary of the associa
tion, and one of the most experienced
growers in Multnomah Counts, says he
is confident that such an arrangement
would be profitable. C H. Welch, of
Mount Tabor, and M. J. Morgan, of Grav
el. Hill, express themselves as favorable
to forming a pooL If they can make such
a combination successful they think that
it will be the means of showing the fruit
raisers what they can do along that line.
GAS AND WATER MAINS.
Soon to Be Laid Into the East Tvtch-ty-eigrhth-Strcct
District.
The residence district east of East
Twenty-eighth street north to the Sandy
road will soon be provided with gas. The
Portland Gas Company has promised to
extend its main on East Burnslde and
East Twenty-eighth street to the Sandy
road. This" is in response to a request
by the Improvement Association of thit
neighborhood, organized a short time ago.
The district also will soon be provided
with water facilities. A big 20-Inch main
will shortly be laid on East Twenty-
eighth street to the Sandy road and thence
toward Albina. This large main will give
the many now houses east of East Twenty-eighth
street a good supply. It Is un
derstood the pipe will bey laid as soon as it
Is distributed, so that the district will
get the supply there before the Irrigation
season opens. An effort will also be made
to get an arc light at the Intersection of
the Sandy roid and East Twenty-eighth
street.
TAKES MANY NICKELS.
East Side Policemen Say It Costs
Tliem Money to Report.
It costs patrolmen who have beats on
the East Side a good many nickels to
communicate with the central station on
the West Side over the telephone. The
city has two telephones In East Port
land, one being in the old engine-house
on East Third and East Oak streets, and
the other being at Clay street and Grand
avenue. These have been out of order so
often that the policemen have to use
other phones, which In the course of a
month makes a considerable hole In their
monthly stipend.
There has been some talk that a sub
station may be established on the East
Side, with a captain In charge. When
Chief Hunt was at the head of the de
partment before a substation was main
