CAUSES FIVE DEATHS
Italian Tenement House in New York
Burned Met Death While
Their Knees.
on
By "Wire to The Morningr Stat
, New York, Nov. 16. At least -five
persons were burned to death in an
. itailant tenement house fire at 221
East Seventy .third street early tot-
day. The house was six floors high
and the sleeping tenants on the five
upper floors were made prisoners' by
names with the' ground floor a roar
ing furnace beneath them. Three of
those who loBt their, lives were kneel
ing in prayer when the fire reached
them.
The police believe that the fire was
started by an incendiary. It began in
a heap of rubbish at the botton of an
air shaft, and spread through' the in
terlor of a grocery store on the ground
.floor. A policeman- was the first per-
pson to see the fire, just as it had be
gun to creep up the air shaft. He ran
- into the building, pounding on the hall
doors all the way up to the sixth floor
to awaken the tenants. The fire fol
lowed, him so swiftly that when he
reached the top floor he was obliged
to send the tenants there, out to the
Are escapes to save' them from suf
focation.
When the fire department arrived
with its ladders nearly every one on
the fire escapes was kneeling in pray
er. Adding to the pathos of the scene
' was the action of the men who Btood
' with' their arms full of personal pos
sessions while their wives fought un
aided to protect the children from be
ing trampled by the crowd or suffocat
ed by smoke. Every one of the fire
,, escapes was saved by the firemen.
The lessee of the house told the po
lice to-day that the Black Hand So
ciety had recently Bent him letters de
manding $2,000. Although the de-
mauds did not state what the penalty
was to' be 'for refusing to pay the
money the police have begun an inves
tigation on the belief that the fire was-
started by the. writer of the letters.
NOVEL BURGLARY

York Thief Had Himself Sent
Warehouse in Big Express
Package Scheme Failed.
By Wire lo The Morn'lnir Star.
New York, Nov. 17. A thief who
entered the Security Storage Com
pany's warehouse In an express pack
age yesterday, 'was caught tCHflay as
he was about to leave the warehouse,
hidden In the same package along with
$700 worth of stolen goods. Last
, night he climbed out of his package,
and after rifling the warehouse again
re-packed himself and his, plunder.
When caught to-day he said his
name was John Schmidt and told the
story of his robbery. Yesterday after
noon .at 4 o'clock two packing cases
were taken to the company's ware
house at 212 Spring street Schmidt
was in one of them, which was fitted
with spring locks' bo as to be opened
from the inside. y?lth him as a bot
tle of whiskey, a set of burglar's tools
and a dark lantern. The other box
was used for packing his plunder. r
Smith emerged last night and plun
dered the place and at 7 o'clock this
morning was safely re-packed with
his plunder. But an employe saw
one of the boxes moved unaccountably
as it stood alone on the floor, and peep
ing through a knot hole in the top saw
the burglar's hat. He immediately
smashed the packing case open.
- Five minutes later an' expressman
. called, asking to remove the two box-

For some reason the man had

so long about his task in the parlor,
however, that the lady- of the man

PANAMA CAf
tO BE SEA LEVEL
So Board of Consulting Engi-

- ; : Meeting Yesterday-: V
CONGRESS FINALLY DECIDES
Sea-Level Canal .WJ II Cost $100,000,.
000 More Than Lock Canal and
. . Will Require Several More , -"
Years In Building.
; By Wire to Tne Morninc Stat
Washington, Nov. 18. By a vote of
8 to 6 today the board of consulting
engineers of the isthmian canal com
mislson placed . itself upon record as
favoring the construction of the Pana
ma canal on the sea level. This de
cision represents the outcome of nearly
three months hard work. Early in
September the engineers gathered
from all parts of the world to assist the
American engineers In the decision of
the momentous question of construct
ing the Panama canal, at aea level or
at a greater altitude involving a sva
- flem of locks.
The foreigners came to Washington
absolutely without instructions .from
their own governments ' and . without
bias, determined to be guided to their
decision solely by the facts to be pre
sented to them. It was not until last
Tuesday that anything in the nature
of a decisive vote was taken and that
after all was an Indirect test Just
what that proposition was cannot be
Btated with absolute certainty, but it
is conjectured that the issue was
whether or not a lock canal of a cer
tain type should be constructed. At
any rate, the vote disclosed the fact
that a majority of the eight American
members 'under the lead of General
Abbott was strongly in favor of a lock
canal. ; . ...... .
The foreigners were "against the
particular type mentioned in the pro
position, but it was not clear that at
that moment they were opposed to the
whole, proposition of a lock canal The
real test came today and the time' be
tween Tuesday and the meeting this
morning was consumed in some very
strong presentations on the part of the
majority of the American delegates to
influence their foreign colleagues to
accept one of the other lock proposi
tions. The Americans, however, were
not unanimous, for there is reason to
believed that three of their number,
probably General Davis, Mr Parsons
and Mr. Burr, joined the foreign dele
gates in this laet vote, which recorded
the board as favoring the. sea level
canal .
The decision was reached about
noon and thereby the board practical
ly concluded its labors. There will
be a few more meetings next week,
simply to deal with small details and
to put into permanent form, the - re
sults of the board's protracted meet
ings. The foreign delgates desire 3
leave for their European homes by the
27th. instant To ' accommodate them
in this, the full board has agreed that
theyjenay conclude some purely formal
work at a special meeting to be held
in Paris in December or January. It
ia expected that one of the American
members of the board will goto Paris
to wind up this business, all of which
must be done before the final report
of the board can be regarded as com
plete and ready for submission to the
Isthmian Canal Commission. The
commission in turn must- record its
own judgment upon the i conclusions
reached by the board of onginccrs
and there is even now a belief cur
rent that the judgment will be ad
verse to the board's plan. However,
there are two more important steps,
at either of which there roav be great
changes proposed, for the commis
sion must pass the plans and its own
recommendations to the President,
who in turn must stamp them with his
own approval or disapproval and for
ward them to Congress, which after
all will be the court of last resort as
betwen the sea level and lock canal
projects; simply through the fact that
additional legislation will be necessary
if a sea level canal is to be built, for
the board finds that such a canal will
cost from- $75,000,000 to $100,000,000
more than the cheapest practical lock
canal and will consume from five to
seven years more in the construction.
Work on the Canal.
St Louis, Nov. 18. Secretary of
War, William H. Taft,, to-nlghjt was
the guest of honor at the monthly ban
quet of the St Louis Commercial Club.
President Charles Nager presided and
Introduced1 Secretary Taft who spoke
on the Panama canal.
Secretary Taft said that the Pana
ma Canal was . 46 miles in length
from shore line to shoreline, and gave
a history of the work on it by the
French, described the physical condi
tions, and detailed the purchase by
the United States, and told what had
been done by. this government towards
beginning the stupendous work of dig
ging and constructing the great water
way across the isthmus, to connect
the. waters of the Atlantic and the
Pacific Among other things in a very
lengthy speech Secretary Taft said:
"Nearly all the labor upon the isth
mus is now negro labor from the West
India Jslands. It is very ' poor. 1 , The
question remains to be decided wheth
er we shall attempt to secure Chinese
or Japanese labor.,, It has been-held
by the Attorney-General that' the Fed
eral eight-hour law applies to those
employed by the Canal Commisison.
I was at first disposed to think its ef
fect would be good, because we could
have three shifts every twenty-four
hours. I am assured, however, by Mr.
Stevens and Governor Magoon that its
enforcement only- intereferes with
good work. Petitions are being filed
by all foreigners and Americans ask
ing that its operation in the zone be
amended. There is practically no lim
it to the negro labor we can obtain
from the West Indian and Caribbean
Islands, but its efficiency is so low
that we may have to call in Asiatics.
Another year will show more facts up
on which a labor policy, may be based.
The fact that no white labor can be
found to stand- work in the tropical
sun ought to remove the . question
from the forum of ordinary trade-union
labor discussion and lead to a so
lution free from considerations which
might properly have great weight in
a more temperate climate and in con
dition less resembling a national emer
gency. I visited the Isthmus a year
ago and again this. year. I am able

UNCLE JOE STILL STANDS PAT. "
Opposed to Any Tinkering With the
High Tariff.
By. Wire to The Morning: Star.
Washington, Nov! 16. Among the
subjects discussed by the President
with some of his callers to-day was
the probable coifdition of the treasury
at the end of the current fiscal year.
It was the concensus-of opinion among
Senators and Representatives who
have taked to the President about
the matter, that the deficit in the
treasury this year, if any, at all should
appear, will be small. They point to
the increased revenues of the treasury
during the past three or four months
as an Indication, despite the somewhat
increased expenditures, that no alien
ing deficit is likely. - A small deficit
would cause no -apprehension in the
minds of Congressmen, but many of
them believe now that practically' no
deficit, will be shown at the end ' of
the year. . -
Speaker Cannon had a conference
with the President to-day. The nature
of their talk he" did not disclose. On
the tariff revision question, Mr. Can
non indicated that he yet is a stand
patter. "If,", said he, "a tariff bill
bill should be brought under consid
eration and we should proceed for
twelve months or so with its discus
sion, and then its friends should com
mand the votes necessary to enact it
into law, and then the business inter
ests should succeed in adjusting them
selves to the new conditions, it pro
bably would be founa that the meas
ure contained as many 'outrages' and
-injustices' as the present law con
tains." "Do you think any sort of revenue
legislation will be necessary at the ap
proaching session to provide for a pos
sible deficit in the treasury?"
"Look at the balance sheets of the
treasury," replied Mr. Cannon. "Look
at the balance sheets. They tell the
story they answer your question. We
have a pretty comfortable surplus,
don't you think?"

New York, Nov. 16. The counting
of so-called void and protested ballots
in the first assembly district of Man

Geigerlch in the Supreme Court to-jj
day, and as a result both the Mcuiei-
lan and Hearst lawyers who were pres
ent claim slight gains. It" was impos
sible to arrive at the exact result be
cause It is not- known how many of
the ballots had been counted by the
election inspectors, November 7. One
of the lawyers representing Mayor Mo
Clellan, said the mayor had gained
ten votes, while a Hearst attorney
claimed a gain ot twelve. Each claim
is not disputed. It was eaid by mem
bers of Tammany Hall Law Commit
tee tonight that the canvass, of the
general returns in one-fifth of the en
tire city showed a net gain for Hearst
of 150votes, and that if this rate was
maintained the plurality of 3,000 given
Mayor McClellan would be reduced by
but a few hundred votes.
Justice Giegerich of the Supreme

lots decided that , all ballots marked
with a cross in the Jerome circle and

Grand Jury Finds Two Addition
al Indictments in . Federal
. . Court at Savannah ',: t
DRAGNET OF' FOUR CHARGES
Famous Prisoners . Were InCourt
With Their Lawyers to Fight the -;
, Case Charges in Connection -r .
" With Carter's EmbezzlmenC V
By Wire to The Morning- Star. "
Savnnah, Nov. -18. Two ; additional
indictments - charging - embezzlement
anqjrecelving the mqney of the United
States that i was alleged to have been
embezzled by . ex-Captain Oberlin M.
Carter, were returned in the" Federal
court- to-night against Benjamin . D.
Greene, John F. Gaynor, E. M. H. Gay
nori William T. Gaynor, and Michael
A.jConnolly. .: ( ' ;--'
The two former indictments against
the prisoners were for conspiracy to
defraud the United States and for pre
senting false , accounts. They i. were
covered. by the extradition charge
designate In the treaty as "participa
tion In fraud by an -agent" -.The
defendants were also extra
dited from, Canada on Jhe two other
charges which ,were participation in
embezzlement and for receiving money
knowing it to have been embezzled.
As they had not previously, been in
dicted upon- these charges, Special
Assistant United States Attorney
General Marion Erwin thought it wise
to. fortify the government by present
ing the accused on the two additional
charges. They now stand charged as
toiiows: . ; ... -.
First Conspiracy to- defraud the
United States government -Second
Presenting false accounts.
Third Embezzlement '
Fourth Receiving money that be
longed to the government knowing it
to have been embezzled. .
A feature of the proceeding was the
presence in court during the afternoon
session of Greene and Gaynor, who
were brought from - the jail under
guard. With, them were P. W. Meld-
rim and A. A. Lawrence, Of counsel for
the defence.
Just as the jury was about to retire
after having been charged by Judge
Emory Speer. Colonel Meldrim stated
that he did. not wish it to be under
stood that the defense waived their
right to object to the poll and array
Mr. Erwln replied that the time had
passed within the defense had a right
to object and Judge Speer said that
it was a matter that could be deter
mined later.
Not a Savannah man was on the
grand jury. All, tne jurors were
drawn from other counties of the dis
trict than this, a plan that was fol
lowed in drawing the grand jury
which originally indicted the defen
dants.
The new indictments were not re
turned against Carter. Those against
him on the first two charges appear
ing above still stand.
They had been married three
months. "If I'm not at home by mid
night darling," he said, as he started
down town,, don't be anxious." "All
right dearest," she replied, 'and it
I'm - not at home when you return,
don't you worry." Chicago News.

Do you know when you buy any
grade of Guano? It's simply an adul
teration, a small per cent of which is
blood and bone, which is the superior
injredient, but when you purchase
FISH SCRAP, you get uothing but
pure FLESH, BLOOD & BONE. The
above assertion we guarantee and can
prove. . Therefore' FISH SCRAP has
no equal as a Fertilizer. We are Sole
