to the New York' trtato capltol build

not include tlio loss of thousands of
Irreplncnhlo documents. In tlio state

acres.
The fire Is believed to have boon

eri nci. libiary ol the usscmbly in tho
northwest corner of the building. One
of tlio ..riliTlles says a defect was discovert-,
1 yesterday, which was report
ed. The flames spread rapidly and
tho library was a seething furnace
when the firemen arrived.
Tho fire quickly destroyed all bills,
documents and papers, some of them
dating as far back as 1776. These
cannot bo replaced. The library also
contained documents of the codes and
Judiciary committees of tho present
session.
The fire soon enerod the document
room, which was quickly doomed.
The flames nte up to the roof and
swept over the dome.
Five minutes later, the fire leaped
Into the state library with a roar, and
lis inflammable contents were licked
up like oil In a furnace. The great
oaken door was partly burned through
but the firemen wore unable to gain
any point of vantage that would en
able them to train their hose on the
flames with success.
The firemen were hampered In
their early operations, and the flames
fanned by a north wind, ato tnelr way
through tho corridors and up to the
very doors of tho assembly chamber.
In fact ,tho fire was within ten feet
of tlio chamber before the firemen
could drag a hose around from State
Street.
Tlie state library, with Its valuable
collection of books and documents,
including manuscripts and almost
priceless relics, was soon to bo doom
ed. Every employe of tho capital who
could bo mustered Into service joined
the firemen In fighting the flames.
Among the early arrivals was As
semblyman Levy of New York, chair
man of tho judiciary committee, who
said the assembly library contained
All the records of the legislative ses
sions and thousands of law books.
State officials were routed out of
their beds and hurried to the blazing
building to rescue state records In
other departments should they become
endungercd. Many legislators wefv
also on the scene.
The flames quickly mado their way
to tho excise, department on the sec
ond floor, directly under the assem
bly library, and the hall of the court
of claims was quickly destroyed. At
4:06 o'clock tho flames had swept
across the entire west section of the

'Ananias Muckrakers" is
Name Given to Publications
That Misrepresent Senators
.MIND OP THE PUBLIC
HAS BECOME CONTUSED
Former President Delivers Lust of
Earl Lectures, nt University of Culi
fornlu "Shaping of Public Opin
ion and the Ninth Commandment"
is Text Largo Crowd Occupies
Theatre.
Berkeley, Cal., March 29. Theo
dore Roosevelt concluded his series
of Earl lectures here yesterday with a
ringing condemnation of those news
papers and magazines the "Ananias
Jluekrakers," he termed them that
misrepresent and discredit honest pub.
lie servants, with the result that the
mind of the public Is so confused that
I: Is unable to distinguish the honest
official from the dishonest. Another
great crowd that occupied every avail
able Inch of space In the. big Greek
theatre of the University of California
heard the lecture, the text of which
was "tho Shaping of Public Opinion
rnd the Ninth Commandment."
President Wheeler of the university
in introducing him, called for an ex
pression of opinion from the audience
as to whether it "had been glad to
have Colonel Kosevelt," if so, he
told the big crowd, "raise your risht
band and say 'aye'." Instantly the
audience was on its feet with a tre
mendous cheer of affirmation.
"The public man, " said Colonel
ltoosevelt, "occupies a very important
end responsible position; but in a
country like ours where public opin
ion prevails so paramountly, the public-
man doesn't occupy nearly so 4m
I ortant a pos'tion as he that moulds
public opinion.- The cardinal sin of
;i public man ihat; the cardinal sin
of the moulder of public opinion Is
mendacity. 1 abhor the thief, but 1
abhor more the assassin of character,
he tli at tries to destroy the public's
I'.iUlT'in the honesty of the man who
rightfully should be where he is."
Citing the obverse of that declar
ation, the colonel declared that "the
newspaper man or magazine writer
that sustains the crook, shares tho
crook's guilt." Hut the honest man
that is fit for public life, the speaker
thought, should have a fairly thick
skin and be capable of viewing with
grim contempt the accusations of
those that make a living out of men
dacity. Ha so Exnmple.
"There's a type of magazine," the
colonel went on, "a type that it fs
hardly fair to call 'muckraking,' be
cause certain muckraking magazines
have performed a splendid public ser
vice a type which may be designated
as 'Ananias Muckrakers,' than which
no Influence can play a more con
tenipfblc part. No convicted alder
man or disgraced public man doing
time 'n a penitentiary is baser than
this type of magazine wh'ch purveys
iMsgraeeful accusations against hon
est men whom they know to be true
to their principles."
The danger of such magazines, he
said lies In confusing the public mind
and if once they get the public think
ing nil public men were "pretty much
alike," there is great danger of ruin
ing American citizenship. He said he
IN CLARE OE
In the full glare of the street lights
and in the principal business district
of the city, one of the boldest burg
laries ever confronting the local po
lice was committed in the early hours
this morning when a large stone was
hurled through the big plate glass
window in the front of the A. L
Schnefer Jewelry store on Main street
and several nrticlos of Jewelry taken.
Two men on whom suspicion rests
strongly were arrested by Chief Gur
dano this morning pending an investi
gation of their movements.
The crime was not discovered until
n bout 4:30 o'clock this morning when
Officer John Kearney noticed the
broken window. The Schnefer store
is within the boundaries of Officer
Shear's bent but that patrolman was
.seized with a severe attack of rheu
matism about ten o'clock hist evening
and hn.l to be taken homo. This
placed the entire city under the enro
of Kearney nnd the perpetrator or
ivrpotrators of the deed must have
known this fact and have kept watch
of tho single officer.
Upon making tho discovery, Officer
Kearney summoned Mr. Schaefer nnd
a hasty examination was made. At

WILL ATTEMPT TO UNSEAT
LOKIMER NEXT CONGRESS
Washington, March 29. Progres
sive members of the senate It Is re
ported, decided today to again at
tempt the unseating of Lorimer at the
next mooting of congress. A Spring
field investigation, it Is said, will be
made the basis of attack. It Is gen
erally believed that the senate can
reopen the case.
STREET LI6RTS
first it was thought that nothing in
the display window had been disturb
ed and that the deed had been done
by a drunken rowdy. Later however,
two of the plush jewelry trays were
found near the Horseshoe restaurant
which proved that robbery was the
motive. Mr. Schaefer stated this mor
ning thnt, as near as he can deter
mine at this time; the robber or rob
bers secured only two gold watch
cases and a Knights Templar charm,
the value of all of which hardly ex
ceed $25, which is but poor reward
for tho r'sk taken.
Tho rock must have boon hurled
with gro.it force for, besides breaking
a large hole in the thick plute glass
It traveled across to the side wall of
tho window and smashed a heavy
Plate mirror. The rock itself has
been on exhibition in tho window all
day and tho citizens quite generally
pronounce it as foreign to this county
which leads to tho belief that It was
brought here in tho pocket of a hobo.
Tho greatest loss os thnt of the
plate glass but J. R. Dickson who
owns tho building in which the store
is located states thnt the loss Is fully
covered by Insurance.

BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED
VICTIM FOUND YESTERDAY
Heniuins Half Concealed In Brush on
Vacant Loe in Suburb Was About
15 or 10 Years Old.
Portland, Ore., March 29. J. P.
O'Xtlll, a street contractor doing
work 'n the Itose CUy Park district
reported to the police at 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon that he had Just
found thebody of a young girl, ap
parently about 15 or 16 years of age,
half hidden In the brush back from
the street some distance, and about
seven blocks north from the Rose City
Park car line on Sandy road. The
body was lying near East Forty-seventh
street. That section is sparsely
settled and is being improved and
grad-d She apparently had been
murdered.
A gunshot wound was found in the
light temple, and it appeared to those
who discovered tlio remains that the
girl had not been dead longer than
perhaps Monday evening. Her cloth
ing was not disarranged in any man
ner, and no evidence of a struggle was
to be found at the scene of the trag
edy. Tho dVad girl wore a plaid dress
and a blue cape, but had no hat on,
nor could any be found near. This
latter fact has caused the police to
believe that she resides near.
Mr. O'Xeill is doing grading work
near, the place where the body was
discovered. A man came to him in
the afternoon when he and his force
of men started to work, and said that
a dead girl lay in the brush near. Mr.
O'Xeill went with the man to the spot
and verified the statement. Ha. im
mediately notified the police and ask
ed the man to remain until the offi
cers arrived, which the stranger did.
When Patrolman Evans reached the
scene he took the stranger into cus
tody, although there is no evidence
to implicate him. The officers thought
it best to hold him until further de
tails could be worked out.
For several days, Mr. O'Neill says,
the man has been seeking wof'k of
him. He evidently was bent upon the
same m ssion when approaching the
grading crew this morning, when he
says he saw the body for the first
time. His demeanor is calm, and no
one suggests that he is guilty of the
crime.
An alarm was quickly spread
through the neighborhood of Rose
City Park, and a canvass is in progress
to learn if the dead girl lives there.
As soon as her Identity is discovered,
the officers will have something on
which to work. Those who saw the
body believe it is th!Tt of a schoolgirl
who was enticed 'nto the brush by a
jealous youth or person of more evil
intent, and then shot down, perhaps
before some other purpose could be
carried out.
;f The dress of the dead girl is very
good, indicating that she comes of
good family. Her face has the ap
pearance of refinement and educa
tion. From the hasty examination
made by the first policeman to arrive
on the spot, there Is no suspicion of
assault.
