Total $334,000
Fire, supposed to have originated
as the result of crossed electric wires,
started In the upper floor of the five
story Abington building, 106 Thir
street, near Washington, early yesterday
morning, ruined that building, swept into
the Van Schuyver building immediately
In the rear, destroyed the upper two
stories of that building, damaged the Mc
Kay building, for a time endangered the
entire block and raged for an hour and a
half before firemen finally succeeded
In getting It under control.
The fire entailed a Iobb estimated at
between $300,000 and 1400,000. Both
the Abington and Van Schuyver build
ings were ruined. Fire Chief Camp
bell estimates the entire loss at $500,-
000.
Three Stories Gutted.
On the ground floor of the Abington
buildings were the stores of the H. T.
Hudson Arms Company; Nlcoll, the tailor;
the People's Clothing store, and S. A.
Arata & Co., liquor dealers. All of these
biuicb weifl seriuusiy aamagea.
The fire completely gutted the two up
per stories in the Abington building and
practically ruined all rooms on the third
floor. The second floor and business
houses on the ground floor were heavily
damaged by the flood of water which
poured from above.
Half Million Loss, Says Campbell.
"It Is Impossible to estimate the the
loss at this time." said Chief Camp
bell, "but it may run as high as $500.
000. The Abington building Is almost
destroyed, while the contents may be
a total loss. The Van Schuyver build
ing is not a total loss, tho.ugh the
financial loss will be heavy."
Firemen exerted the greatest efforts
j and succeeded In preventing the flames
from reaching the big stock of liquor
In the Van Schuyver building.
Fight Until Ordered Away.
Batalllon Chief Young had com
. mand of the firemen In Second street.
; From the Third-street side linemen
I were sent up into the building by
means of the elevator, over the roofs
! of other buildings and on ladders.
Even on the roof of the Abington
! building they worked until ordered off
' by the Chief.
Lines had been drawn by cordons of
police around the entire block. Men
and women who had apartments in
, various parts of the block reached the
ground by fire escapes and ladders,
though there were few thrilling es-
rapes, because of the fact that the
flames were confined to the two build
ings and only three persons were In
them.
Light Attracts Large Crowds. . .
Meanwhile the flames had complete
control of the upper stories of the Abing
ton building. Rearing high in the air
they threw a lurid light over the city,
attracting hundreds of people. Cornices
began to fall and portions of the outer
wall toppled to the sidewalk. Captain
Bailey so arranged his men that they pre-'
vented Injury to any one in the crowds.
However, there were several narrow es
capes during the progress of the fire.
A number of firemen and two newspa
per men were In the hallway near the
! elevator shaft, when a huge safe fell
1 down the shaft. It had occupied a place
In an office upstairs and when the floor
of the office was burned away It fell.
Three Have Narrow Escape.
Three men were in the saloon of Arata
; Bros, on the ground floor as the fire
I spread. They were John Cordano. ex
Peputy Sheriff. Mr. Arata and S. jaml
: son. As they stood there a huge piece
' of pipe, several inches In diamater, came
' crashing through the wall overhead and
fell upon the floor. None of the men
was Injured, though they abandoned the
1 saloon at once.
Frank Battel, Janitor In the McKay
. building, was sleeping on the second floor
of that building. He was awakened by
the fierce light and heat, and aided a
number of tenants to escape.
Officer Abbott, from central police sta
, tion, was one of the first to arrive on the
1 scene and with the night watchman he
' performed valuable services. William
Trulllnger, electrician In the Fire De
' partment aided Castlemen In removing
. the dangerous overhead wires from Third
street.
There was only one arrest incident to
1 the fire, and no looting of the burning
1 buildings. J. J. Myer. who refused to
! move on when ordered to do so by the
police was taken to the station. No In
juries are reported.
Flames Rage Two Hours.
It was 12:10 o'clock when the Tames
were discovered by Night Watchmen E.
J. Wilkinson, on his rounds. It was
after 2 before firemen had gained control
of the flames, though at that hour they
were still smouldering dangerously.
There were no fatalities, though the
Uvea of three men were imperiled for a
time. The destruction of the entire block
one of the most valuable in the city
was also threatened. It was' only with
the greatest difficulty and daring work
that Chief Campbell confined the flames
to the three buildings and prevented the
fire from eating its way into the Concord.
Merchants National Bank and Breeden
ouuaings wnicn are directly contiguous
to the Abington building.
Court Forms Great Flue.
In the center of the block Is a huge
court, surrounded by the buildings, which
served as a vast flue for the flames.
Heavy iron doors which are usually
placed against the various entrances of
the Abington building at night, had been
removed be causa of the heat, and win
dows were also left open. These aper
tures, with the aid of the big court, were
a great aid to the flames which, fanned
by the draft from these openings, were
soon a roaring furnace in the rear of
the Abington building.
Fireboat Gives Good Service.
Chief Campbell took personal charge of
the work of fighting the flames. Streams
were sent playing upon the burning build
ing from every direction. The fireboat
George H. Williams anchored at the foot
of Stark street and crews from that ves
sel did effective work, not only in Secopd
street but even in Third.
Firemen worked heroically; linemen
braved countless hidden dangers from
live wires and policemen held in check
many wildly excited persons who were
attracted by the spectacular blaze.
Third street, immediately in front of the
Abington building, is a network of elec
tric wires. As the topmost floor began
to fall and cornices and portions of the
wall began to give way, the wires over
head began to snap. Many pyrotechnic
displays were caused by overhead wires
falling upon trolley wires.
Lineman Does Heroic 'Work.
William Castleman, a lineman in the
employ of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company, walked calmly
through this mass of snapping, sputtering
wires, cutting and removing them, and
smoked a pipe. Lives of many persons
were endangered by the wires and falling
debris, but no one was injured.
It was 12:10 o'clock when Night
watchman Wilkinson entered the Ab
ington building from Third street on
hie rounds. As he reached the elevator
shaft he heard a crackling, roaring
noise above and peering up the shaft
saw the flames. He Immediately gave
the alarm, which finally resulted in
three alarms, next in importance to
a general alarm.
Police Officer Liesy arrived almost
simultaneously, and together they en
tered the building and went up In the
elevator, which was still running. On
the Becond floor they found aged Wil
liam Lord, of The Dalles, who had
been sleeping there. He had been
aroused by the noise and commosition
and was making a" hurried exit. Two
other persons, janitors, were in the
building, but they succeeded in escap
ing without imminent peril.
Spreads to Second Street.
The flames from the top of the burning
Abington soon communicated with the
rear of the building on Second street oc
cupied by the firm of Howe, Davis &
Kilham. blank-book manufacturers, and
W. J. Van Schuyver & Co., wholesale
liquor dealers. Both of these buildings
are four-tory, concrete front structures.
The fire was not long in gutting the entire
top floor of the Van Schuyver building,
which was used as a -storeroom for glass
ware and bulk liquors. Between 500 and
1000 gross of half pint and pint flasks were
destroyed. The loss to this firm is fully
covered by insurance.
The firemen after a desperate battle
with chemical hand-grenades, succeed
ed in. checking the progress of the
flames In the building occupied by
Howe, Davis & Kilham. The loss to
this building, will be comparatively
slight.
The wholesale liquor firm of W. J.
Van Schuyver & Co. has. occupied Its
present quarters at 105 Second street
for the past 17 years, being the oldest
occupant in the block. During that
time the firm has never suffered any
loss from fire until last night.
Damage to McKay Building $5000.
Five thousand dollars damage was done
to the McKay building. All the rooms
facing the court on the north were
burned out and damage to the Interior
of the building by water will be heavy.
Among the tenants in the McKay
building who sustained losses are:
Thomas Meierenberg, superintendent of
building, who lost all his records: A. O.
Sherman, tobacco merchant; Washburn
Bros., real estate; Charles O'Connor. Dr.
Madden, E. T. Davis, J. Whalley. Deputy
City Attorney Tomllnson. Deputy City
Attorney Grant. Holllng & Cochran, civil
engineers; Houston at Merton.
H. T. Hudson, of the H. T. Hudson
Arms Company, 110 Third street, estimates
the loss to his stock of guns, fishing
tackle and a general line of sporting
goods at $10,000. and possibly more.
Dr. George S. Story and Dr. William
Jones, who occupied a suite of rooms on
the second floor of the burned building,
sustained the loss of a number of valu
able medical works In addition to diplo
mas, certificates and other articles that
are impossible of replacement.
Damaged by Falling Roof.
S. A. Arata, who conducts a wholesale
and retail liquor store at 104 Third street,
is one of the heavy losers by the fire.
Most of his loss was caused by water and
falling portions of the roof. The collaps
ing of this part of the building resulted
in breaking of bottles and demijohns con
taining, liquor, as well as breaking the
heavy plate mirrors, and practically de
stroying a number of oil paintings, among
which were several which formerly be
longed to the late Jack Dempsey. For
two of these paintings Mr. Arata was re
cently offered $2500. but refused to part
with them.
The knowledge of the buildings In that
block possessed by Night Watchman Wil
kinson and ex-Night Watchman Herr
man aided the firemen in saving consid
erable of the adjoining property.
The new stock of the People's Clothing
Company, will be practically a total loss
for the store was flooded with water. E.
S. and M. J. Jacobs are the proprietors
of this establishment. E. S. Jacobs esti
mated the loss of his firm at $40,000, fully
covered by Insurance.
F. F. Boody. manager of Nicoll. the
tailor, the establishment which was also
completely flooded by water, estimates
the loss to his stock of cloths and dress
goods at close to Jlo.OOO.
Eleven fire engines pumped water
onto the flames and three streams were
brought from the river by the fireboat.
It is believed that the line of hose from
the fireboat did the most effective work
in quenching the flames. Three lines
of hose of 1600 feet each were required
to bring the water from the river.
SHOT PLAYING WITH GUN
Boy Receives Ball of 22 Rifle in
Breast.
While playing with a 23-callber rifle in
the yard of hia home, 1136 East Twenty
third street. North, Wednesday afternoon,
William Irwin. 12 years old was shot
through the breast and may die. The boy
had been shooting at target and neglected
to remove a cartridge from the gun.
Thinking the weapon empty, he was
swinging it by the barrel, when the
charge exploded, the bullet entering his
left breast and passing out his right.
After the accident the boy was taken to
Good Samaritan Hospital. At the hos
pital it was said that he had a chance
for recovery but that the wound was
serious and might prove fatal.

PILES PLEDGES
TO
King County Political Leaders
Will Keep Promise Made
Four Years Ago.
BIG RALLY IN SEATTLE
Junior Senator Will Work for Re-
Electlon of Colleague Frinck
and McGraw Land Ability
- of Walla Walla Banker.
SEATTLE, Wash.. July 23. (Special.)
United States Senator S. H. Piles; C. J.
Smith, who managed the Piles' Senatorial
campaign four years ago; J. M. Frink,
president of the -Washington Iron Works,
and John H. McGraw, former Governor,
dellvtrea ipee-hes at the Moore Theater
last night ratifying a deal made in 1905.
wheteby King County pledged its support
for Senator Ankeny's re-election, and all
four speakers urged that King County
voters sustain the four-year-old agree
ment. A big out-of-town delegation that in
cluded H. A. Falrchlld, manager of the
Mead campaign: State Senator It. W.
Condon, of Kitsap; Thomas Flsk, of Shel
ton, who managed Ankeny's campaign in
1893;! a scattering representation from
Pierce County and the Northwest attend
themeeting. Despite the .fact that the
July heat made the night oppressive, the
Moore Theater, which has a seating capa
city of 2500, was well filled.
Piles worked up to a climax through a
careful review of all the circumstances
that made him a candidate for Senator
and all the details of the struggle tor elec
tion at Olympia, then boldly asserted his
obligation to Ankeny. He declared that
Ankeny and Charles Sweeny, of Spokane,
has made possible his election as Senator,
and said that through that action alone
he felt obligated to Ankeny sufficiently to
support him for re-election.
Then Piles took up his career In the
Senate and showed how Ankeny had
waived a place on the commerce com
mittee to advance Piles, and for three and
a half years had deferred constantly to
his Junior colleague, declaring, as Piles
said, in a generous spirit that he did
not care who obtained credit for legisla
tion so long as the state and the North
west obtained practical results.
Senator Piles paid a high tribute to
Ankeny as a legislator and vehemently
declared that he did not care what the
consequences might be he purposed sup
porting Ankeny. His speech was re
ceived with close attention and was
frequently applauded.
C. J. Smith, who managed the Piles
campaign as a representative of the King
County business men's committee, pre
sided over the meeting. In an introduc
tory speech, he declared he regarded any
person in King County or the state who
had received the fruits of Piles victory
and had accepted them willingly for four
years was oblgated morally to repay the
obligation incurred in 1905.
J. M. Frink, president of the Washing
ton Iron Works, and Republican nominee
for Governor in 1900, denounced those who
have attacked Senator Ankeny's character
or work at Washington. He reviewed
Ankeny's business career, declaring in a
thorough canvass of the ' state he had
never found any person who ever sus
tained business relations with Ankeny and
had anything but praise for him. He
lauded Ankeny because each of his nine
banks paid cash throughout the stringency
of last Fall, refusing to deal in clearing
house certificates, and -tracked Ankeny's
legislative career, claiming Ankeny had
been the peer of any member of the up
per house.
John H. McGraw evoked more applause
than any of the other speakers by a de
nunciation of a local newspaper that lias
been fighting Ankeny, then launched into
a review of past Senatorial fights. He de
clared that every Senatorial campaign
since statehood had provoked agreements
of reciprocal support, but up to 1895 there
were verbal agreements. In that year,
McGraw said, a written agreement was
brought to him by an editor who now de
nounces h'm and the Piles-Ankeny cause,
an agreement by terms of which McGraw
was to be elected Senator ten years ago.
McGraw insisted the Piles-Ankeny com
pact was one that morally bound the peo
ple of King County, and he bitterly de
nounced those who were trying to break
it down.
BRYAN IS ASTONISHED
Amazed When Told of Decision in
Oil Trust Case.
FAIRVIEW. Lincoln, Neb., July 23.
Not in some time has news of such im
portance reached here as that contained
In the announcement from Chicago that
the fine of S29.000.000 Imposed upon the
Standard Oil Company by Judpe Landis,
had been set aside by the Appellate
Court. William J. Bryan, when apprised
of the decision, seemed astonished and
wa eager to know the grounds upon
which It was based He would not, how
ever, permit himself to be drawn into a
discussion of the case.
It is now reasonably certain that the
notification of Mr. Bryan will occur on
the grounds of the State Capitol. In
view of the large crowd expected it was
concluded that the single carline to Pair
view would be unable to cope with the
situation.
Mr. Bryan is beginning to outline his
notification speech. He volunteered the
statement today that his 6peech would
not necessarily be devoted to the plat
form entirely, and that it would not be
incumbent upon him to enlarge upon
that instrument.
This afternoon Mr. Bryan was escorted
to Capital Beach by a committee of the
Grocers' and Butchers' Association,
where a picnic and barbecue were being
held, and here he delivered an address.

rival there he will confer with a num
ber of political leaders from the Mid
dle West states and arrange a confer
ence such as was held at Colorado
Springs, to organize for the campaign
in the West.
The Western politicians are very
anxious that Judge Taft visit this sec
tion at an early day, and they will
make an effort also to induce the Presi

Hitchcock that the Republican situa
tion in the West would be improved Jf
the President would come out in a posi
tive statement in favor of Judge Taft
and give assurance that the Republican
candidate for President unquestionably
will carry on the policies of the pres
ent administration. This is a matter
to which they intend to bring the at
tention of the President and Mr. Taft.
It is certain that a deal of campaign
ing in the West will be done by Sen
ators Borah, of Idaho; Long, of Kan

will be kept In the Western Stateu

LOVERS TIRE OF WAITING
EVELYN WALSH AlfD EDWARD
M'LEAX SUDDENLY WED.
Deaf to Slother'g Pleadings for
Fashionable Wedding, Mil
lionaire's Daughter Elopes.
i
DENVER, Colo., July 23. Evelyn Walsh,
only daughter of Thomas F. Walsh, a
millionaire 20 times over, yesterday prac
tically eloped with Edward B. McLean,
son of John R. McLean, of the Washing
ton Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer, and
was quietly married In St. Mark's Epis
copal Church by Rev. H. C. Foster.
The only witnesses were Mr. and Mrs.
Crawford HM-. the former being a son
of the late United States Senator N. P.
Hill, and Colonel William Stapleton, of
the Denver Republican.
Thomas F. Walsh, father of the
bride, is in Kansas City and did not
know of the wedding until his new
son-in-law telegraphed him after the
ceremony. Mrs. Walsh was not present
and it is said she used her utmost per
suasion to prevent the couple from get
ting married.
Shortly1 after the ceremony the newly-married
couple went to Colorado
Springs in a big touring car belonging
to the Walsh family. They will stay a
week or so at the Springs, and then
go East and to Europe on a wedding
tour.
The decision to get married was made
only yesterday. Mrs. Walsh was told of
It and did not approve. She tried her
best to dissuade them, but in vain. She
wished her only daughter to- have a big
and fashionable church wedding. But
the young couple insisted and refused
to be put off. Mrs. Walsh would not
accompany them to the church. She de
clined absolutely to discuss the wedding,
but through her private secretary gave
simply a confirmation of the report that
her daughter was married.
