Destroyed by Fire.
MEN MARVELOUSLY ESCAPE

Tangled Wires With Flames and
railing Brick All Around
Kleven Men lteach Safety.
MINNEAPOLIS. Jan. t The explosion
and fir that almost destroyed the plant
of the General Electrlt Company early
this morning, injuring three men and
causing an estimated loss of 7,V),000. to
night left th city practically In dark
ness. A few of th main office buildings got
light and power for elevators from th
street railway company until II o'clock,
but after that, as Is the custom, all power
was turned off. Street lamps wera dark,
and all sava the main section of the city
was entirely without light all night.
The General Electric Company has GOO
men at work making connections, so the
company's power plant at Taylor's Falls
can be utilised. Th power from this
plant has always been distributed through
the main plant in Minneapolis, but the
wrecking of the latter prevents this.
The three men injured will recover.
The escape of the 11 men from the build
ing after the explosion is a source of
continued wonderment. On their way to
the mill race, through which most of
them escaped, they were compelled to
pick their way through a mass of
charged, tangled wires, with gaseous
flames burning all around them, and
bricks and parts of the building tumbling
down on all sides. .
Fearing that the darkness of th city
msy Induce lawlessness, the entire police
and detective forces sre held In reserve,
with waiting automobiles.
Among th most seriously hit were th
newspapers. One of them brought Into
us a hand press of pioneer days. On
this a one-page extra was Issued. Later
th papers gut power from another plant.

KM PROVES HIS
STORY BY WALKING
Test Required by Navy Cor
roborates Narrative of
Polar Journey.
COMMITTEE SUMMONS HIM
Explorer Will Tell Polar Feats When
Bill to Make Him Rear-Admiral
Is Considered Macon Says
Word for Cook,
WASHINGTON. Jan. . The official re
port of Captain Robert E. Peary'a recent
walking test as prescribed by the Navy
Department, junt made public, is. In the
opinion of his friends in the Navy, the
strongest possible refutation of th argu
ments advanced by critics who have ques
tioned the tlm the explorer-captain made
over the Ice on the return frpm the
North Pole.
Captain Peary selected December 18, 19
and 20 for the Government test. On the
first day he walked 23 miles) In six hours
and 45 minutes; on the second day 25
miles In seven hours and 26 minutes and
on the third day five miles in one hour
and 28 minutes. In other words, he
walked 5 miles In 15 hours and 39
minutest
Returning from the North Pole to the
point Where he left Bartlett, Captain
Peary covered 150 miles in three days,
an average of SO miles a day. The Journey
northward from Bartlett required five
days; an average of 30 miles a day.
Test Proves His Story.
Friends of the captain say that his
naval tests prove conclusively that 60
miles a day over the ice on the memor
able return from the Pole vas not an
unreasonable distance for him to have
covered.
Proceeding north from Bartlett, the
tune consumed in covering the 150 miles
to the Pole was necessarily slower, be
cause It was an advance Into territory
through much of which the explorer's
party had literally to beat its way.
In the light of life recent walking
achievements. Captain Peary, in the
opinion of many naval officers, has shown
how fit he was while In th Far North
for hard and steady going under con
ditions that would have discouraged a
weaker man. From Cape Columbia he
made a round trip of 955 miles in 45 days,
an average of a little less than 18 miles
a day.
Peary to Appear Before Committee.
Captain Peary will appear before the
House committee on naval affairs tomor
row to answer a running Are of ques
tions concerning his polar achievements.
A subcommittee met today and dis
cussed the question of recognition of the
explorer by act of Congress, particularly
the bill introduced by Representative
Bates, of Pennsylvania to retire him as
a naval constructor with th rank of
Rear-Admiral.
The meeting of the subcommittee was
lively. Bates moved to report his bill
favorably to the House, a measure that
gives the explorer the emoluments of a
Rear-Admiral dating back to tbe time
he claims to have discovered the Pole.
Macon Champions Cook. '
Macon of Arkansas, who bas been
priming himself for an attack, immediate
ly objected. He eald that, if Peary was
to be recognized, then Dr. Frederick A.
Cook's claims to attainment of the Pole
also should be recognized, for the one
had corroborated the other and the stories
told by the two were alike in important
particulars, especially arouna tne i-oie.
The result was an invitation to Peary
to appear and furnish his proofs.

Support of Many Western Members
Withdrawn When They Iearn
Sclfixii Alms of East.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. (Special.)
Ship subsidy legislation at this session
of Congress is believed to be aeaa
Th general unpopularity of the pro
posed legislation, with the fart that Far
Western members, hitherto irienaiy to
it. have discovered that the Eastern
advocates wish only subsidized ships
from the Atlantic Coast to South Amer
ica at this time, has served to cool
the ardor of many House members who
have Just returned to Washington after
holiday trip home, during wnicn
thev investigated public sentiment.
Representative Humphrey, author of
tha House bin. is one or tnose wno
have abated tholr Interest In the legis
lation. Eastern members have onargea mat
snecial subsidy on the Pacific Coast
would fall into tbe hands of the big
railroads operating lines to the Orient,
whereas Mr. Humphrey's bill specillc-
ally prohibits their participation in
any such subsidy. It is probable the
sam leaders may try to pass the Gal
linger bill through the Senate ' at an
early date, but indications do not now
warrant the belief that anything can
ba done with it In that body.

LOGGER INHERITS WEALTH
Wealthy Brother of Alfred Wright
Leaves Him Estate In England.
i
ABERDEEN, Jan. (Special-) "It Is
the finst letter I "have received from home
In many long years," said Alfred Wright,
a local logger, yesterday as he tor the
end of an official-looking envelope post
marked Liverpool, England. "Guess it
must be a belated Christmas gift from
tbe folks at home."
Th message from England represented
a little the best Christmas present ever
received by Wright, for it contained offi
cial Information from Friend & Davis,
barristers, 35 Queens Way, Liverpool, of
the recent death of his brother, a wealthy
planter of India, and that a large por
tion of the deceased brother's estate had
been left to tha Aberdeen logger. Twen
ty years ago Wright came to America.
From New York he came West, but
during the early stages of the Boer War
enlisted in New Orleans and completed
his service as a calvaryman. Two years
ago he landed In Seattle from a German
schooner and since then has been em
ployed in the various Grays Harbor
lumber camps.
"What will I do with the money?" re
sponded Wright when questioned regard
ing his good fortune. "Why, I bavo a
little girl in the old country and If she
Is still willin' I am. One thing I know Is
that I will sleep lots every morning."
FILIPINOS ARE LOYAL
CENTRAL PERSHIXG SAYS THEY
WOULD FIGHT FOR VS.
We Slust Depend on Native Troops
to Defend Islands and Scouts
Form Good Nucleus.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. Should an
emergency arise In the Philippines, the
United States would have to depend
upon native troops for defense of the
islands and the Filipino would bo a loy
al soldier, according to the annual re
port of Brigadier-General John G.
Pershing, commander of the Depart
ment of Mindanao.
"The difficulty and expense of main
taining a large force of American
troops here for defense against for
eign Invasion is evident," says General
Pershing, "but that we should have a
force ready for such emergency needs
no discussion. Should the emergency
arise, we should have to depend upon
native troops. - '
"The authorized strength and organi
zation of native scouts should be util
ized as a nucleus to train a native army
for this purpose. It would be an easy
matter to inaugurate a scheme, em
bracing two years' service with the
colors and a longer period with the re
serve, that would provide within a few
years an adequate and reliable force for
defense."
As a force that might be called upon
to assist in defending the islands, the
Philippine scouts would acquit them
selves with credit, the report says. In
regard to the faithfulness of the scouts
to the United States, General Pershing
adds that the officers who have had
the largest experience with them ex
press a firm belief in their loyalty.
General Pershing suggests that the
term of duty of American troops in the
Philippines be made four years, as in
two years the soldiers hardly get ac
quainted with the people and con
ditions In the vicinity of their posts.
Service in the Philippines is no more
arduous than service in Texas or Ari
zona, he adds.

TREATY MADE0N PERSIA
Germany and Kussla Agree to Dis
gust of Britain and France.
LONDON, Jan. 6. An evening paper
publishes what purports to be the text
of an agreement between Russia and
Germany on Persian affairs and sup
posed to be a result of the meeting of
Emperor William and Emperor Nicholas
at Potsdam last November. According
to the text printed, Germany disclaims
any political inftrest in Persia and rec
ognizes Russia's interests in Northern
Persia. Russia, on her part, agrees to
co-operate in building the long-proposed
Bagdad Railway and its. branches, and
to give German commerce in Persia
equality of treatment. This important
pact quite likely will be resented by
France and Great Britain as disloyalty
on Russia's part to their entente.
Several years ago a German company
secured a concession from the Turkish
government for the construction of a
railway designed to form a short route
between the Levant and the Persian
Gulf, but lacked the funds to proceed
with tho enterprise. An attempt to
interest British financiers failed. Franco
also declined to assist. From time to
time the project has been revived. St.
n..r.hrr was nricrinally understood
to be opposed to the road.

Falling Hair
You Run No Risk When You
Use This Remedy
While many people in their prime
doubt the assertion that "the hairs of
our head are numbered," yet there is
today many a man and woman fast
reaching the paint where this statement
is literally brought home to them. It
you suffer from irritation of the scalp,
and from dandruff, or if your hair Is
falling out, do not wait until you reach
the point where you can actually count
how many hairs are left on your head.
Most cases of baldness are caused
because the roots lack proper nutrition.
In such cases there is a microbe which
bores through the scalp along the Una
of the hair into the root and when it
lodges there it begins to destroy the
fatty matter around the hair roots.
When the scalp and hair roots are
strong and healthy, it is impossible for
these microbes to get in their deadly
work.
We can promise you that, if your
hair Is falling out, and you have not
let it go too far, you can repair th
damage already done by using Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic. It is a scientific,
cleansing, antiseptic, germicidal prepa
ration, that destroys microbes, stimu
lates good circulation around tho hair
roots, promotes hair nourishment, re
moves dandruff and restores hair
health. It is as pleasant to use as pure
water, and it Is delicately perfumed.
It is a real toilet necessity.
We want you to try Kexall "93" Hair
Tonic with our promise that It will
cost you nothing unless you are per
fectly satisfied wits its use. It comes
in two sizes, prices 50 cents and $1.00.
Remember you can obtain it only at
