SWEPT BY FLAMES
Frame Buildings Between East
Ninth, Tenth, Washington
L, and Stark Stricken.
SEVERAL ARE BADLY HURT
Three Horses Burn Sleepers First
. Aroused by Cries ot Other
lodgers Leap to Safety.
i
All Accounted For.
With the force and swiftness of an
explosion, flames swept the greater part
of a block of frame buildings confined
by East Ninth, East Tenth, Wash
ington and Stark streets at 11 o'clock
Tuesday night. Narrow escapes by
lodgers and families in small two-story
houses on Washington street marked
the progress of the fire. The greater
Joss was sustained by J. J. Kadderly,
In a warehouse and barn on the East
Ninth street side, where stoves, refrig
erators and three horses and an auto
mobile were destroyed.
Flames curling up from the south
west corner of the warehouse were
first noticed at 10:5? by Chris Smith,
87 East Ninth street, who turned in
an alarm from a fire box. When the
first apparatus arrived the entire ware
house building and barn were in
flames and the fire was eating swiftly
Into a row of two-story roominghouse
buildings on Washington street. The
warehouse and all buildings destroyed
were supported- by piling which gave
an underdraught to the flames and
nearly resulted fatally for occupants
of the dwellings.
Criea Awaken Sleepers.
G. T. Smith, living in the first of the
three small houses on Washington
street to be destroyed, was awakened
by the cries of his eldest son, John,
who gave the alarm to other roomers.
Smith and his wife struggled through
blinding smoke to the side of their
sons, Clifford, 4 years old and Roy, 8.
Smith and his family are rendered des
titute by the fire and were given tem
porary relief by neighbors.
Ben Rekdahl and wife, also occu
pying rooms in the first house, escaped
in their night clothes. Rekdahl is a
brother of Patrolman Rekdahl, who
suffered face burns in assisting an
elderly woman to safety from the
burning shacks. John Anderson and
William Davis, living in the second
of the houses, were accounted for by
the police, who investigated the possi
bility of deaths, under the supervision
of Captain Inskeep.
Man 'Jumps From Window.
Qeorge Cooper, a laborer, 65 years
old, who was asleep in one of the
houses and jumped from a window,
sustained a number of lacerations and
burns. Three stitches were taken in
his head.
Although it is estimated that 25 per
sons were sleeping in the row of
burned houses, B. E. Remaley, lessee
of the buildings, reported early this
morning that all had been accounted for.
The buildings were owned by Sulli
van & Tremwath, who place their loss
at $15,000, entirely covered by insur
ance. CAPTAIN GRIFFITH IS SEEN

When he was recognized by a civilian,
and before the authorities could act.
Captain Griffith vanished again, sup
posedly on a liner for the Orient.
Mrs. Pedro E. Zabala, of Salinas, for
merly Miss McQuaid, of the Presidio

COUCH SCHOOL SITE SET
Clerk Ordered to Pay Full Amount
for Property.
The question of the purchase of a
site for the Couch School, which has
Jnsplred many; lengrtnjr ana seated Cls
cussions before the School Board dur
ing the past few weeks, finally was de
termined Tuesday night when the Board
instructed its clerk to negotiate a
check for $142,000 in payment for the
property known as the Archbishop's
block and located on Twentieth, Glisan
and Hoyt streets.
The vote followed the reading of an
option from the attorneys of the 'dis
trict, H. B. Nicholas and Newton Mc
Coy, to the effect that the previous
agreement of the Board to the pur
chase of the property, was a contract
binding upon both parties.
Several residents of the Couch School
district appeared before the meeting to
protest further against the purchase of
the property chosen and their argu
ments against the site were contested
in rebuttal by Directors Munly and
Sommer, who, with. Director Beach,
originally voted for the Archbishop's
block. Director Sabin also voted for it
on the final motion, but explained that
he did so because he saw no other
course in view of the legal opinion.
Director Plummer did not vote.
Among those who argued in opposi
tion to the official selection were Dr.
E. F. Tucker. Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie,
Robert W. Lewis, Charles E. Warrens.
The board also authorized the -payment
of $126,000 for the block chosen
as the site for the new Shattuck School,
bounded by Broadway, Park, Hall and
College streets, as soon as the title has
been cleared to date. It is expected
that the final deed will be signed today.

S40.000 DAMAGES ASKED FOR PRANK
OF 11-YEAR-OLD.
St. Louis Woman AHegea Heart Waa
Displaced Chargrea Parenta Did Not
Take Firearms From Child.
ST. LOUIS, April 25. (Special.) A
suit for $40,000 damages was filed in
Circuit Court against Edward F. Gol
tra, president of the ' Missouri Iron

Democratic National Committee. The
plaintiff is Annette Taesone. former
governess of the Goltra home, who al
leges she was shot by Goltra's 11-year-old

the child's mother and the child, mak
ing both parties to the action.
In the petition it is alleged the
plaintiff was employed as governess
at a salary of $35 a month and lived
in the Goltra home.
The petition recites that the child
was indulged to such an extent by his
parents that his every wish was
granted, and that he was permitted
without reprimand to assault some of
the servants in the house and was
reared by his parents to disregard the
commands of his parents and. also of
those of his governess.
On the child's eleventh birthday, Sep
tember 20, 1912, it is charged, the par
ents gave him a repeating rifle of .22
caliber and ammunition for it, which
he was allowed to keep in his room,
where he also kept a shotgun and a
loaded revolver.

14, 1912, while his governess was read
ing to him, the boy leveled the rifle
at her and shot her through the right
breast, the bullet lodging in or near
the left lung. .

ness was confined to her bed for seven
weeks and was permanently injured.
It is alleged her heart was displaced,
she has difficulty in breathing and her
nervous system Is wrecked.

were negligent in allowing him to
have the firearms and the allegation
is made that the boy on numerous
occasions threatened children of neigh
bors and inmates of his father's home
with the rifle.
It is charged that the child's threats
were reported to his parents, but they
made no effort to take the firearms
from him.
CHURCH DEBT $3,900,000
Trinity's Year Book Shows Valuation
of Property Is $15,812,000.
NEW YORK, April 25. Actuated by
what its rector, the Rev. . William T.
Manning, calls the "new spirit" of
Trinity parish, that historic corpora
tion discusses its affairs with unusual
freedom and openness in its year book,
published here.
The ' eradication of the antagonism
towards Trinity is due to the new or
der of publicity which now prevails,
according to Dr. Manning.
There are many evidences of this
new and complete publicity in the
Year Book. It shows, for Instance:
That the financial statement of the
corporation shows a deficit, the ex
penditure for the past deficit, the ex
penditures for the past fiscal year
having been greater than the Income.
That the assessed valuation of Trinity's
taxable property now is $15,812,000, an
increase of $651,406 over the previous
year.
That the income from rent of Teal
estate last year was $997,298, but that
its present Indebtedness . is $3,900,000.
The liabilities or notes payable were
increased by $400,000. The parish
received $127,920 from voluntary of
ferings, but paid $107,000 in salaries,
$63,200 for music and. $372,600 for its
parochial schools.
EDITOR NOVEL PAPER DIES
Emperor and Czar Subscribers of
German Dally Sold for $60 Tear.
BERLIN. April 25. (Special.) Carl
Wedekind, publisher of one of the
unique newspapers in the world,' died
suddenly, leaving a comfortable for
tune, earned by the WedeMnd Korre
spondenz. This newspaper appeared
daily and contained an index of all
the news and special articles in the
German press, each important article
being briefly digested.
His newspaper was frequently called
the Fuersten Korrespondenz, or
Princes' Correspondence, because of
the 25 years of its existence the first
item invariably told of the movements
of the Kaiser during the previous 12
hours.
The newspaper was a royal paper
for more than this reason, for, heading
Wedeklnd's small subscription list was
the name of Emperor William, followed
by tihat of Czar Nicholas. It was also
subscribed for by the government and
all diplomatic representatives as giving
the clearest and quickest summary of
the activities of the German press. It
is said to be one of the few newspapers
read regularly by the Kaiser. Another
distinction of this newspaper was the
price, which was $60 a year.

ALASKA DIVERTS MONEY
FOREIGN CAPITAL IS ABOUT TO
TIR.V FROM NORWAY.
Immeaae Dtnud for Tin Cana la Fish

Mines In Nortk.
NEW TORK, April 27. Some of the
German, English and Swedish capital
that has been employed extensively In
development in Norway is going to be
diverted to the development of Alaska,
according to Paul Ernie Rink, a con
sulting engineer of San Francisco and
owner and operator of several Alaskan
tin and gold mines, who has Just re
turned from a four months' business
tour of Europe. Mr. Rink, who was
born In Germany, has been canvassing
the heads of some of the big companies
over there for whom he used to work
in various parts of the world in his
early youth, and he says that not only
has he Induced two of the most in
fluential men in the Iron and tin in
dustry in Germany, to pay a visit to
Alaska this. Summer, but has been as
sured that capital "in that country
stands ready to go extensively into the
industrial development of the territory.
"At the present time we are chipping
the tin from our mine all the way to
Swansea in Wales, where it is refined
and sent back here' in the form of
plate," said Mr. Rink at the Waldorf.
"When you consider that millions of
tin cans are used every year in the
salmon Industry in Alaska, and that the
tin has to travel almost half way
around the world and back before it is
turned into cans, you' can see that there
is a tremendous waste of time and
money.

of water power. When I explained the
mineral wealth and the cheap water
transportation facilities of Alaska to
my friends on the other side, they were
enthusiastic It has been my experi
ence, during a career that has taken
me into some of the most remote coun
tries of the world, that the reason Ger
man capital has confined itself to de
velopment in certain countries is be
cause the German Consular service
doesn't begin to measure up to ours
in the way of supplying information to
the home Government. Had the Ger
man Consuls on the West Coast of the
United States had the enterprise to
send home information of the sort that
American Consuls in various parts of
the world send to Washington, instead
of mere answers to inquiries relative to
this or that branch of trade, as is the
custom of German Consuls all over the
world, German capital would have
turned to Alaska long ago.
"In Norway, where a lot of German
money is employed, natural conditions
are somewhat similar to those of Alas
ka, and yet Alaska is far richer in
natural resources. It has been easy to
raise capital in Germany for Norwegian
enterprises, because Norway is so near."
Mr. Rink was one of the original dis
coverers of the mining property near
Nome which has lust been called Bluff
City, because he, with Colonel Stockley
and Jack Sanderson, managed to hold
it after discovering gold there, against
the soldiers and a mob until .they could
get their claim recorded. He has pros
pected over most of Manchuria for oil
and coal.
"One of the men who was prospect
ing at Bluff City with a tomato can
now owns a mountain of jade in Alas

to do anything but sit around in San

"Mentioning Congress to anybody
who has interests In Alaska is like
shaking a red rag before a bull," said
Mr. Rink. "We have been hoping for
years for Congress to do something that
would help in the development ot the
territory. Why. I have a vein of coal
on my own property, and cannot use
the fuel. I have to buy from British
Columbia. A partner and I have a gold
mine that we cannot work simply be
cause me cannot get coal.
"I cannot feel any degree of confi
dence that the tlO.000,000 which it is
thought Congress will appropriate for
building a railway in Alaska, will ever
be used for that purpose."
SUGAR MEN TO BE AIDED
Government Appropriates $lf0-,00 0
to Teach livestock: Business.
WASHINGTON'. April 25. (Special.)
The first move by the Administration
to meet a situation created by the pass
age of the Underwood-Simmons bill,
which put sugar on the free list and
demoralized the cane-growing Industry
in Louisiana, was made by the Senate
Committee on Agriculture when it au
thorized the Secretary of Agriculture
in the agricultural appropriation bill
reported to the Senate to expend $100,
000 "in experiment and demonstration
work" in livestock production in the
sane sugar regions.
At the time when the Administration
committed Congress to the free sugar
programme and it was conceded that
the sugar planters would be driven out
of business, it was announced semi
officially that the Wilson Administra
tion had In mind a plan to teach the
planters of Louisiana other useful agri
cultural occupations. This approprla-
