this morning that lie would not recom

the same stand, contending that flnan

"A great number in my department.'
said Mr. Barhur, ' W,'Wr'1r effi

particularly those who are drawing

"Of course, if the city commissioners
allow raises for the employes In their

lialy says that a number of salaries
were reduced when the classification
system was put into effect and now
he thinks it nothing more than right
that they should be increasej.
In the police and fire department it
has usually been the custom to allow
raises to men after they have served
their first six months, but at no time
were automatic raises allowed those
holding supervising positions each six
months as some of the city commis

BIG LUMBER FIRE IN
I; LOSS IS
Fire, Uncontrolled for Nine
Hours, Bums Area Eighth
of Mile Square.
(t'nllert Pre Ieii Wire.)
ClrvrUnd. May 28. Damage esti
mated at $1.250. 00 was done by a fire,
which, after sweeping an area an
eighth of a mile iuare in the lumber
dlBtrlt here, was brought under con
trol early today.
The conflagration was supposed to
have been started by hangers-on of
Ringllng Bros." circus, which was
showing in the vicinity. It raged for
nine hours before the fire department
secured the upper hand. Attracted by
the glare. 18.000 people rushed from
th- circus tent to watch it and up to
n-Jdnlght probably 100.000 spectators
Uoked on while the firemen fought to
check the sweep or the flames.
Starting In the Fisher Wilson com
pany's lumber yards they licked up
several millions of feet of hard wood
and then spread to the Saginaw Bay
company's yards and those of the Big
Four railroad, where 40 of Ringling
Bros.' cars were burned.
The Central viaduct, which cost
12.000,000, was also partly destroyed,
three spans falling from a height of
40 feet upon the Nlckle Plate tracks,
paralyzing traffic.
Officials of the various companies
say the fire loss -will total $1,4(0,000
but Fire Chief Wallace believes it will
bi less than that.

'1ST USEFUL MAN'
DIES AFTER A LONG
LIE OF HARD WORK
Jacob Riis, Who Fought Pov

Passes Away at Barre.
(United Pre T.ietl Wlre.
Barre, Mass., May 26. Jacob Riis
died here this afternoon of heart dis
ease. He was taken seriously ill three
weeks ago while in a sanitarium at
Battle Creek, Mich.,'and rushed to his
summer home fiere. His condition
grew steadily worse.
Jacob A. Riis, whom Theodore Roose
velt called in a letter of Introduction to
an Europe, "New York's most useful
citizen," was' a poor immigrant boy
who, tBroiigh his wark'fbr humanity,
bis lectures and . writings, became
known to almost every American.
The future author was born-in 1S49
at Ribe, on the River Nibs, Denmark.
Ills fathetv wh was It choolmater,
tried to make "Jake" a literary man,
but the boy insisted that he would be
a. be.tter carpnter. Partly duo to this
difference of. opinion (the father turned
out to be right). Riis came to New
York -in 1870, at the age of '21. He
found work in an iron foundry on the
Allegheny river, Pennsylvania. The
Franco-Prussian war broke out. Riis,
remembering Denmark's grievance
against Germany, came to New York to
offer his services to the French consul.
The consul treated him like a tramp,
and Riis pulled his nose.
How On Xaform Started.
In the next few years Riis manv
times looked like a tramp. He once
slept on a gravestone in New Bruns

autobiograpasf "The Making of an

in a New York police station-house.
His little dog was barred out. When
Riis left the neit morning he com
plained that he had been robbed of a
gold locket containing a lock of his
sweetheart's hair. The police officer
abused him for this, and the little dog,
which had waited at the door but the
officer's leg. The officer beat the
dog's brains out. This incident led
many yeara later, when Roosevelt was
police commissioner of the cltv, to
the abolition of the detestable police
station lodging house system at Riis's
instigation.
Finally Riis got a position with a
news-gathering association. It is said
that he had not eaten for three days
at the time, and luckily his first as
signment was the old Guards' ball. He
filled his stomach. Probably he never

(United Pre Leased Wlre.
Washington. May 26. "Merely a
friendly call" was the way Presidential
Secretary Tumulty this afternoon re
ferred to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's
scheduled visit to the White House
lte today. Politjcs, it was said, will
I r.ot be discussed.
I Colonel Roosevelt and his party ar
rived here at 3:15 o'clock this after
roon. The colonel was welcomed by
an enormous crowd.
From an authoritative source it was
learned that President Wilson expects
the colonel to be his strongest critic.
And, it was understood, the president
welcomes such a situation.
Colonel Roosevelt was scheduled to
reach the White House at 6 o'clock.
He will remain there but 10 minutes.
Later, the colonel Is to see Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge. Lodge confided
to friends that he intended to "tell

WILSON REFUSES TO
MAKE LABOR UNIONS
IMMUNE FROM LAWS
Declines to Allow Change in
Clayton Bill to Exempt
Them From Penalties,
By John Edwin Nevin.
Washington, May 26. Widening of
the breach betwen organized labor and
President Wilson seemed certain to
day. This situation loomed up as a strong
probability here this afternoon when
Representative Webb of Xorth Caro
lina, acting chairman of the house
Judiciary committee and Representa
tives Carlin and Flood of the sub-committee,
in charge of the anti-trust
bills, called at the White House and
told the president that organized labor
would insist on an amendment to the
Clayton bill.
By this action organized labor's de
mand for complete exemption from
the terms of the Sherman law was put
directly to President Wilson. Webb
and the members of the sub-committee
got an immediate answer.
President Wilson made it perfectly
clear that he would not permit any
change In the Clayton bill which would
"erect, a stone wall" around labor
unions, making them Immune from
penalties for illegal actions. He de
clared that house laborites had ac
cepted "the Clayton bill with the pro
vision that nothing would be included
In the measure which could be con
strued as ! affecting the legality of
unions.
The president said this was as far
as he was willing to go.
Senator Hugh.es asked President
Wilson and the house Judiciary com
mittee to get together in some sort of
a compromise which would prevent em-,
ployers' associations from manipulat
ing anti-trust laws to organized labor.
The president insisted that the Clayton
bill does not go far enough, saying
organized labor had been promised
consideration In the' last two Demo
cratic national conventions.
President Wilson, however, did not
seem to be impressed with the repre
sentations voiced by Hughes.

EYES OF
State Board of Health Tak
ing Steps to Stamp Out
"Disease; Causes Blindness
Numbers of pupils of rural schools
In Oregon are suffering from tra
choma, a highly infectious disease of
the eye, which, if untreated, results ul
timately In blindness. Alarmed by the
prevalence of the malady, Dr. Calvin
S. White, secretary of the state health
board, has already taken steps to
stamp out the disease before it spreads
further.
In addition, it has been learned, ap
proximately 50 per cent of the Indians
of Oregon, particularly on the Siletz
and Warm Springs reservations, are
victims of the malady, which is so
widespread that the commissioner of
Indian affairs has called a meeting of
health officers at Washington to dis
cuss means of putting an end to the
epidemic.
Discovery of the fact that white
school "children are suffering from the
disease was made when reports of the
sanitation inspection of the rural
schools, outside of Portland, were re
ceived by the state health officials.
These reports are now being tabulated
and until all are In the exact number
of cases cannot be ascertained.
Steps are being taken, however, to
treat all children already known to
be Infected. In fact, several children
of parents too poor to pay for regular
medical attendance are being-cared for
now. The health board Is furnishing
treatment free and tne counties of
which the children are residents are
paying the hospital fees. '
If the disease is discovered in time
It can be cured. The first symptoms
are itching or tne eyenos, wnicn is
followed later by granulation and the
appearance of ulcers.
It is a germ disease and can be com
municated in various ways, including
common use of a face towel.

Belfast, May 26. The Ulster situa

The passage of the Irish home rule
bill of course lacked the element of
surprise, and since the law is not yet
effective there was no occasion for an
immediate outbreak. Orangemen were
still resolute, however, in their dec
laration that they would never submit
to an Irish parliament's rule.
Moreover there were threats of a
clash any moment between Catholics
and Protestants. The former were

Constables from Dublin were polic-j

police was also watching today's coun

If the Orangemen were defeated there
it was feared there would be an im
