PARIS, Sept. II. Fire broke out last
Bight In the Central Telephone build
ing and spread with such rapidity
that the telephone employes were
forced, after brief and Ineffectual ef
forts, to extinguish the flames, to (lee
hastily to the streets. The entire
building was- soon In flames, and this,
together with the postoffice, which Is
located close to the Place des Vic
tories, waa totally destroyed.
The loss is estimated at 45.000,000
but a much greater loss Is likely to be
Involved through the complete Inter
ruption of all telephonic communica
tion In the center of Paris, as well as
communication with the provinces and
abroad.
The telephone bulldlna was compar
atively new. and was fitted with the
costly new central battery system. It
will take more than a month to re
establish the service. The origin of
the fire Is a mystery, but it Is believed
to have been due to a short circuit. It
Is asserted also that It may have been
of Incendiary origin, but nothing has
as yet been found to prove this.
Driven Out by Smoke.
The telephone operators when they
first discovered the flames tried to ex
tinguish them, but were forced to de
clst on account of the volumes of black
smoke and the pungent fumes from the
burning gutta percha. In a short time
the flames envoloped the entire five
etorles and were bursting through the
roof, leaping skyward like a blast fur
nace. At 1 A. M. the fire was still burning,
but the firemen were beginning to get
It under control.
Sunday was a record day In the his
tory of the fire department, the men be
ing out all morning and afternoon for
a big fire In a department store In. the
Fauborg St. Denis. Damage to the ex
tent of 1800.000 was done here, but the
loss Is covered by Insurance.
The fire In the telephone building was
first discovered by a workman, who on
entering the cellar, saw smoke arising.
He was forced back, but the open door
established a draught and in a moment
the flames were roaring up the narrow
shaft In which the cables were carried
to the third and fpurth floors.
Troops Charge Crowd.
Within 20 minutes the third and fourth
floors were a mass of flames and there
was a series of explosions. The firemen
were Impeded In their work by the
poisonous fumes and by the crowds
which the police were powerless to hold
hack. Messengers were dispatched for
reserves and troops who eventually were
forced to charge upon the spectators be
fore they cleared the scene.
It was found that 20.000 line in Paris,
comprising all the lines In use by the
various big stores, newspapers, banks,
and commercial houses, and all the pro
vincial and International trunk section
of the plant had been completely de
stroyed." The Are chief reports that there was
- no loss of life and that no one was In
jured. PASTORS GIVEN PLACES

PROTEST AGAINST STENCH
Chicago Citizens Begin Fight on
Stockyards.
CHICAGO, Fept. 20. At a mass meeting,
held here tonight to protest against the
odors which emanate from the Chicago
stockyards, located within the city limits.
Health Officer Evans said that for some
time he had been collecting samples of
the smells by means of bags suspended
from kites. Before prosecutions could be
b?gun. he said. It was necessary to pro
cure exact evidence as to the sources of
the odors and consequently kites with
open mouthed bags had been flown over
particular chimneys.
"Our odor gathering kites have been
directed, especially, over the tall smoke
stacks of a garbage consuming plant,
which Is one of the most offensive of the
stockyards' nuisances. In Cleveland,
where the same method of disposing of
the garbage Is In use. the city makes
WO.OuO annually over and above the cost
of running the plant, while In Chicago we
pay the company to do the work and
have to endure the smell besides."
The meeting perfected a permanent or
ganisation and appointed a committee to
seek legislation to rid Chicago of stock
yards" smell forever.

was taken into custody for throwing

After the arrest the police searched
Blnn's room in a Third-street lodging
house. There they discovered two sticks

corresponded with the stick that was
tied to the doorknob of Dr. Mead's resi

SAILS THROUGH CYCLONE
Freighter Columbian Encounters
Terrific Storm 1n South.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 20. For 24
hours the big freighter Columbian, Cap
tain Colcord, of the American-Hawaiian
line, plowed through a miniature cyclone
on her voyage from Hllo to Salina Cruz.
The gale was in the nature of a circular
storm and the wind came from all points
of the compass. Captain Colcord reported
that it was the most unusual sale for the
time and place that he ever experienced.
The storm was encountered on August
25. In latitude 19, longitude 116. The Co
lumbian was heavily laden with 12.000
tons of sugar from the Islands and rode
easily through the seas and gales" which
might have caused damage to smaller
craft.
The Columbian arrived today from
Salina Cruz, having made the run up the
coast in seven days, and three hours,
which is record time. Better time would
have been made but for the fact that the
Columbian encountered a dense fog off
Santa Barbara channel which stayed with
the vessel until she entered the harbor.
RACE PROBLEM IN' SCHOOL
Chinaman With White Wife Would
Send Child to Public School.
. NEW ORLEANS. La.. Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) State Superintendent of Education
Harris has a new race problem on his
hands, quite similar to that California
has been wrestling with.
The child of a Chinaman, who married
a white woman, wants to attend the pub
lic schools of St. Landry Parish. Thu
local school board did not care to take
the responsibility and put it up to Su
perintendent Harris. The State Superin
tendent of Education, wishing to be
guided by the letter of the law, has re
ferred the matter to Attorney-General
Guion. who will have the problem solved.
The Attorney-General has been given
the facts in the case and asked for his
official opinion.

ing two of the rioters and wounding four.
They then charged the crowds with
drawn sabres and succeeded In putting
them to flight. Later the rioters wrecked

DROUTH IS SEVERE
New England Suffers From
Lack of Rain.
WATER SUPPLY IS SHORT
Mills Forced to Shut Down Crops
and Cattle Suffer Smoke From .
Forest Fires Obscure
Sun's Rays.
BOSTON'. Sept. . Anxiety is filling the
heart of the New England farmer for a
drouth which Is pronounced to be- one
of the severest In many years has spread
Itseif over the New England states,
LUMBERMAN TOMORROW
causing suffering to people, cattle and
crops throughout the country.
It was on August 26 that the last gen
eral rain fall came to New England. In
many places the wells are running dry.
Water in the lakes has been receding at
the rate of one inch a day. Numerous
forest fires have started. Many mills
have been crippled by the lack of water
supply and others have been compelled to
shut down. Cattle have been suffering
and the milk supply Is becoming Jimited.
In Vermont mills have been seriously
crippled or shut down, throwing hundreds
out of employment. Quarries about Mont
peller were closed during the past week.
For several days past the water has
been the lowest since 1881 In Lake Cham
plain and steamers have discontinued
touching at St. Albans Bay.
Smoke from the burning forests of
Maine, Canada and Northern New York
has hung over New England for the past
week obscuring the rays of the sun and
threatening to rival the famous "yellow
days of 1SS1." Shipping all along the New
England coast has been seriously ham
pered. HOLDING.' FLAMES IX CHECK
Firefighters in Maine Take Advan
tage of Light Wind.
AUGCSTA. Me., Sept. 20. Although
forest fires continue in many sections of
Maine, the situation was much improved
tonight. By taking advantage of the
light wind which prevailed and concen
trating their forces the fire fighters were
able to hold the flames in check and
protect the settlements.
Thousands of dollars' worth of valua
ble woodland are still being destroyed,
however.
FIREFIGHTERS LOSE GROUND
Flames Make Headway in New
York Mountains.
ALBANY. N., Y.. Sept. 20. Although
New York, has "one of the best equipped
forest tire fighting organizations in the
country, fresh fires are being reported
daily -from the Adirondaeks and Catskill
regions. Unless there Is a heavy rain,
soon, the damage may approximate that
of the destructive fires of 1903, when over
450.0i'lO acres were burned over; entailing
a less of $800,000 In standing timber, logs
and pulp wood.
Every effort Is being made to hold the
present fires In control. In 132 towns in
the Adlrondacks and Catskill regions 713
fire wardens and deputies are at work.
TAFT ANGRY AT FORAKER
(Continued From First' Page.)
H. Hitchcock he asked to be relieved
from the appointments which had been
arranged for him by the National
speakers' bureau, and in a communica
tion to State Chalramn Williams, of
the Ohio Republican Committee, he
made the same request as to the en
gagements which had been arranged
for him In this state.
As to Senator Foraker's Senatorial
candidacy, the Associated Press Is au
thorized to state that the Senator's
position is as follows:
"Senator Foraker will leave the se
lection of his successor to the Legis
lature, but will do all in his power co
see that a Republican Legislature is
elected."
Senator Foraker today told his
friends that he should, at the proper
and convenient opportunity, make a
speech In answer to Hearst's charges
and In defense of himself, and then
should campaign the entire state in
behalf of his Senatorial candidacy, but
under the Jurisdiction of no political
committee.
The Interesting details of just how
Senator Foraker came to withdraw
from participation in the forthcoming
convention of the National League of
Republican Clubs, at which he was to
speak with Judge Taft here on Tues
day evening, was disclosed today au
thoritatively. On the morning of the first publica
tion of the Hearst disclosures on Fri
day. Senator Dick came to the city
from Columbus. After a conference
with Mr. Foraker. he went to the Taft
residence, where he had an Interview
with the candidate, at which the situ
ation was discussed frankly. No con
clusions were reached, but Senator
Dick obtained the distinct impression
that, in view of the circumstances, the
question of the joint appearance of
Taft and Foraker was one which re
quired consideration. In this connec
tion the arrival of Senator Crane on
Saturday morning was noted, and the
Junior Ohio Senator indicated that he
should take up the matter with his
Massachusetts colleague.
After Senators Crane, Foraker and
Dick had conferred Saturday morning
the letter which Senator Fotaker made
public last night. In which he eliminat
ed himself from the meeting, was taken
to the Pike-street residence by Senator
Crane.' The suggestion was made, after
further consideration, that the letter
properly should be addressed to John
Hays Hammond, president of the Na
tional League of Republican Clubs, un
der whose jurisdiction the meeting was
being arranged, for the reason that as
the candidate had no control over the
arrangements, further correspondence
would be necessary.
There followed another conference
between the three Senators, at which
the suggestion of forwarding the letter
to Mr. Hammond was decided upon,
which, it was explained, obviated the
necessity of a reply from Judge Taft
This plan, after being presented to
Judge Taft at another conference, was
ad-opted.
Throughout the .negotiations. Judge
Taft refused absolutely to comment for
publication on the matter. It has since
developed that he had at once taken
the position that the Joint engagement
must be cancelled. It has developed
that the candidate received insistent
advices to take the initiative In the
matter of cancelling the arrangements,
and that his reply was emphatic In this
language:
"If it would win every vote In the
United States I cannot hit a man when
he is down."
HITCHCOCK'S HANDS TOO FULL
Committees Will Give Chairman
More Aid in Future.
CINCINNATI, O.. Sept. 20. Senator
William Murray Crane, of Massachusetts,
left here tonight for the Chicago head
quarters of the Republican National
Committee and will later make a visit to
the New York headquarters. While here
Senator Crane has been somewhat busy
In the adjustment of the Foraker situa
tion, but his visit had been arranged be
fore that incident arose and it was learn
ed here tonight that he has had an im
portant consultation with Mr. Taft on
the general conduct of the campaign.
That there is to be decidedly more
activity on the part of the executive com
mittee of the National Committee, and on
the part of the advisory committee of
that organization, was said to be de
termined on.
This activity, it was explained. Is mads
necessary by reason of an expected im
mediate development of the proportions
of the. campaign which will make It a
physical impossibility for Chairman
Hitchcock to give the attention required
to many matters of policy and detail.
Hitchcock and Crane to Confer.
NEW YORK. Sept. 20. Chairman
Hitchcock, of the Republican National
Committee, started for Chicago today
to spend Monday and Tuesday at the
Western headquarters. He expects to
return here Wednesday. Before leav
ing New York today he telegraphed to
Senator Crane, who has been visiting
Judge Taft In Cincinnati, to meet him
in Chicago on Monday.
RALPH FRARY IS ALL BUT
MOBBED AT ABERDEEN.
Wild-Eyed Man Rushes on to Field
With Bat and Spectators Follow.
Blows Are Struck.
ABERDEEN, Wash., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) A riot, precipitated by an error
of judgment on the part of Umpire
Ralph Frary, marked the close of the
league baseball season In this city. Fol
lowing Frary's action In calling Streib
out In the ninth, a wild-eyed man
armed with a bat rushed onto the field,
and In an Instant hundreds of others
followed him.
Most of those who rushed onto the
diamond did so to protect Frary and
the Aberdeen ballplayers all lined up
to keep the mob from him. However,
an elderly man seized Frary, who re
taliated with a blow. This Incident
started the riot afresh, and but for
the timely action of Gus Thompson,
Will Campbell and other players in
the local club, Frary might have been
badly hurt.

Bystander Saves Athlete's Life, but
Is Badly Hurt.
CONCORD. Cal., Sept. 20. Walter Mc
Kean. of Oakland, had his skull frac
tured, and K. Moltno. of this city, was
rendered unconscious for 15 minutes,
when the 40-foot greased pole fell at the

. Molino was a participant In the greased
pole contest. He is a heavy young man,
and as he neared the top of the pole it
swayed with hira. Seeing his danger, sev

them, courageously rushed forward to
support the pole. They were not in time,
however, and it fell, striking McKean on
the head.
McKean probably saved Molino's life.
