at Midnight.
Fire from unknown origin last night
gutted the south half of the four-story
brick building- occupied by the Fisher
Thorsen Company, paint and oil deal
ers, at Front and Morrison streets. The

fully Insured, according to Henry J.
Fisher, senior partner of the firm. The
building waa erected in 1887.
Starting in the rear of the basement
on the Front-Street side, the fire shot
up the shaft "of the elevator to the
fourth floor and spread rapidly. It was
being stopped alter the south half of
the building waa in flames by a fire
wall with double doors, which held it
back from the display, and the larger
part of the stock. Spreading also on
the second and third floors. It gutted
them. Heat was so Intense that the
entire width of Front street was
cleared of pedestrians and sightseers,
who were kept a block away from the
blaze.
Six Streams 1m Action.
' From a two-story rooming-house, a
three-story office building across Front
street and from the Esmond -Hotel,
across Morrison street, the fire fighters
threw water from lines of hose into
the windows of the building, attempts
at getting hose up the face of the
structure being useless. Six lines were
playing through the air across Front
street at one time ' Other lines of hose
were laid across the safe part of the
building in the north half.
The new ftreboat, David Campbell,
came in for its first real test, when it
lay to beside the building at the south
side of the Morrison bridge and threw
streams on the iron doors in the wall
of the building to the east. Water
from a turret knocked the iron doors
from their hinges and streams of water
were then poured Into the burning part
of the building from threa sides.

The alarm came directly after the
conclusion of the I. W. W. riots, and
a crowd of 4000 persons saw the blaze
from the adjoining streets and the Morrison-street

10 o'clock was closely followed by a
general alarm, in spite of which the

BULBAR ATROCITIES
DESCRIBED BY KING
Constantine of Greece Sends
Message to Associated Press
Telling of Massacres.
VILLAGES ARE DESPOILED
Torch , Applied by Retreating Army
Which Murders, Robs and Wrecks
- All Along Course; Women and
Children Slain In Homes.
NEW YORK. Julv 17. Kintr Con-
stantlne of Greece; from his headquar
ters at liaaji Beillk. near Seres, sends
tothe Associated Press a detailed ac
count of the atrocities of the Bul
garians in Macedonia. He declares that
only the precipitate flight of the in
habitants of the villages and towns
prevented a still greater slaughter.
The following is the Kinsr's messaare.
through Colonel Dousmani, chief of
general staff of his majesty:
"Hadji Beilik. July 17. In reolv to
your dispatch of the 16th Inst., I have
me nonor to communicate to you the
following information on the Bulgarian
atrocities, committed at the outset of
hostilities against the Greek and Mus
sulman inhabitants of Macedonia.
People Massacred In Homes.
"The first city to he soonrE-erl was
Nigrlta. A large number of its Deonle.
who had remained at their homes after
the events occurring in the Pana-haon
district, were massacreed by the re
treating . enemy, who did not fail to
light the path of thejr flight by the
flames of the city, to' which they had
applied the torch.
"The correspondents of Le Temrjs
and the Dally Telegraph, who visited
the locality the day after the massa
cres, merely confirmed in greater de
tail the dispatches of the commanders
of our troops.
The precipitate flight of th neas-
anta in the surrounding villages is the
only reason why we have not a greater
number of victims to deplore. On our
left wing 700 Mussulmans of the en
vironment of Killiseh a nest of Bul
garian comltadjis (irreirular troonsl
shared the same fate . Two of our offi
cers, who In a bayola. assault had
been left lying wounded on th field
a few steps from the enemy's trenches
when the attack was renewed, were
round to have had their eyes gouged
out.
Story of Pillage. Ia Told.
"At Noiran, before their flight, the
enemy dragged the metropolitan and 30
of the leading citizens from their
homes. They never have been seen
again.
"The religious leader of the Mussul
mans, with -tears In his eyes, told us
of the spoliation and pillage of the Bul
garian officers and soldiers.
"At Trumitca. fortunately, the enemy
had time to kill only two of tiic per
sons imprisoned. But all these t.-ings
are as nothing compared with what
happened at Dimlrhlssar, . Seres I and
Doxato, where everything waa sacked
by fire and sword.
"The city of Seres is nothing more
than a mass of'smoklng ruins, filled
with "mutilated corpses of old men and
women and children. - - -
"The Consuls-General of Italy and
Austria, at Saloniki, who visited Seres
for the purpose of establishing to what
extent their nationals have suffered,
have told us that the accounts pub
lished in the newspapers gave but a
faint idea of the terrible calamity;
"At Dimirhisgar the exhumation of
the mutilated bodies of the metropoli
tan and the leading citizens have con
vinced us that our enemy is not satis-
fled to pillage, burn, despoil and mur
der, but he rejoices in torturing his
victims.
"Doxato is no longer anything but a
pool of blood. Of its 3600 inhabitants,
only 150 remain. A great number of
the little villages along the route taken
by the fleeing army were the scenes of
like atrocities."
ROTJMANTANS ARE NEAR SOFIA
Bulgarian Capital in State of Panic
When Fact Is Known.
LONDON. July 17. Roumanian
troops are at Plevna and Mesedra, the
latter town within 30 miles of Sofia,
and King Ferdinand of Bulgaria is
suppliant to King Charles, King- of
Roumania, for terms of peace.
It is understood that the powers are
striving to Induce Roumania not to
occupy Sofia and are urging Bulgaria
to appoint a delegate to confer with
the Servian and Greek premiers.
The facts of the situation are just
becoming known in Sofia and are
causing dismay among the people. M.
Malinoff's efforts to form a Cabinet
appear to have failed.
Desultory fighting continues on the
Greek and Servian fronts.
By forced marches the Turkish army
is approacning tne town of Klrk-Kllis-
seh, taken by the Bulgarians after
heavy fighting at the beginning of the
Balkan war.

feat yesterday of the Bulgarians of the
Servian forces, which had penetrated
Bulgarian territory on the west. The
Servians are retreating toward Vlaslna,
across the border.
Another dispatch says severe losses

stockholders of the company 45,000
shares of stock of Well-Fargo & Co.,

JURY UNMOVED BY BABE
Salem Man Is Held. Xot Guilty of
' Assault Upon Alleged Child...
SALEM, Or., July , 1. (Special.) The
crowing and cooing of the innocent lit
tle victim of it all, and Its chubby lit
tle2 fists striking together clumsily as
its mother walked up and down before
the Jury, showing her child as the chief
exhibit of the prosecution, were not
sufficient to win the hearts of a jury
today in Judge Kelly's court, and Fred
erick Demagolly. the alleged father of
the child, was freed of a charge of
criminal attack.
The mother, Mary Ake, who Is still
In her 'teens, wept as the verdict waa
read, her sobs and the prattle of the
Infant making a strange medley.
Demagolly was Indicted last month
and pleaded not guilty. About a dozen
young men were summoned by the de
fendant's counsel to testify regarding
the character of the girl, but Judge
Kelly ruled that the trial should .be as
free from the sensational as possible.
He first decided that the baby could
not be shown to the Jury, but upon
the insistence of the District Attorney
allowed the mother to pass along in
front of the jury with the face of her
baby bared. The evidence favored the
defendant.
BECKER'S AGENT 'SQUEALS'
Confession Said to Reveal Long-
Sought Facts as to Graft.
NEW YORK, July 17. The police
graft situation was brought to the
front again today, when Charles B.
Flitt. Jr., who was the sorcalled press
agent of ex-Police Lieutenant Charles
Becker, submitted to District Attorney
Whitman a five-page typewritten state
ment reputed to be a confession of
facts relating to the alliance between
the police "system" and the underworld.
Mr. Whitman assigned one of his as
sistants to talk with Plitt, who is under
indictment on a perjury charge, with a
view to determining whether Plitt's
statement was worthy of a grand jury
investigation.
Plltfs "squeal" Is reported to con
tain the information long sought by the
prosecutor. An inspector, a civilian at
tache at police headquarters, and sev
eral minor officials are said to be men
tioned in Plitt's statement, which is
declared also to tell of graft by Becker,
now under sentence of death at Sing

bathing: suits, thin clothing, low
shoes, Summer hats, rain coats
no matter what you must have

the road that leads to the place
where everybody may obtain
what everybody needs."
