New York, Special. --Six lives were lost and nearly a score of persons were Injured and the lives of more than 100 otheit> were endangered in an early piorftlng tenement house fire in Wil liamsburg section of Brooklyn. With one except ionfl all the .dead are child ren. Incendiaries are thought to have been responsible for the fatal lire, and tliis theory is strengthened by the fact thnt while the firemen were at work on tho blaze alarms were turned in fcr two other tires in ?h'e Immediate neighborhood. The dead: Hell a Glass, 2U years. Henry Glass, 2 years. Ida Sftltofaky, 6 years. Benjamin, Gussle, Charles Warkol sky, aged 11. 14 and 3 years. The seriously iujured: Harry Blass, 6 year.}.

When the alarm was sounded through the house tljr; men and women, some of the latter with babies in their arms, others with little boys and girls clinging to the night clothes" of their mothers, ran to the hallway. There they were met v*Jth the great clouds of choking smoke, ?while the flames were rapidly closing In about them. Before the firemen ar rived police reserves from a nearby station bad rescued many persons from the blaziiiK building. When the fire men came, human lines were formed from the lire escapes and the screaming women and ehildreh were lowered to the pavement. The flames burst from windows all about them and the clothes of many of them were burned from their bodies. Their hair was sing ed and their bodieB burned. Against North Carolina. Washington, Special.? The United States Supreme Court denied the po tion of counsel on behalf of the St&to of North Carolina for a rehearing In the case of the Slate of South Dakota vs. the State of Nortji Carolina, de cided during the last term of the ccurt favorable to South Dakota. The case involved the validity of North Carolina's guaranty of certain rail road bonds donated to South Dakota for the use of the University of South ?Dakota. The court ordered the sahv cf bonds, and this action renders that decision final. The decision has the * offect. of validating other North Car ? ollna bonds cf similar character.

HENRY REPORTS Asked Many Pertinent Questions of Prominent People ? -Even Preacher# Fifluratively Say "Amen." Mr. J. K. H$nry, Holieltor <>f tho sixth circuit, la^t week submitted to Gov. Heyward a report on the Ker shaw lynching. Mr. Heury Ik very outspoken in hi? condemnation of the double killing und calls attention to a Btuio of affairs in Kershaw which he nays makes it almost impossible for Hie State to get any evidence. i In view of the attention which has ' been attracted t? tho case as well . an to the at rung sta' -menta iti tin* letter itself, Mr. Heniy's oltteial com munication to the (lovornor wjli? be very interesting reading: Chester, S. C., Oct. 12, ls>04. Gov. 1). C. Hoy ward, _ Columbia, S. C. Sir: in obedience to your request 1 arrived at Kershaw, S. C., at noon on Monday, October to investigate the lynching ??f John T. Morrison f?>r the killing of WilllainFloyd on the Saturday previous. A1WP conferring with the sheriff of Lancaster, John P. Hunter, Ksq., who had preceded uiu that morning, 1 conferred with and Interviewed the mayor, some of tho aldermen, the town marshal, several f of the citizens, th<> wife and son <?f Morrison and two of Morrison's neigh bors. From these I learned that the attitude of the entire kiwii nod *>???"? rounding country was, by hand or heart, "His blood be upon us and our children." Not a single man among them but what deplored lynching and excused this on..', "If one was ever j excusable." Everyone with whom I ' conversed seemed to labor u> impress mo with the l'act that this was tho most orderly, quiet and sober lynching that ever occurred- --a real pious! lynching, with the preachers in the background, almost auuibly sayinti "amen." 1 did rot get to see any ol\ the local prea< hers; but several spoko 1<i mo after ieaving Kershaw, on tho sub'ect of this lynching, and to my end; a s ton i. -dim wit, they vclecd tho sentiment, "if there ever was an ex cusable lyn.diing this was it." Where are we going to end up ? these horri ble midnight murders by lynch law on all hands and public sentiment fast head ng tho same way? A sense of paralysis came upon mo with tho darkness of Monday night On Tuesday morning 1 called a special meeting of the town council. Every member, with the town mar shal, met us (Sheriff Hunter and my self) in a special meeting. I explain ed that the Governor had sent me to Investigate the lynching; they were swern olReers, like myself; I waiited their help; Morrison had been taken from their custody; they wet <5 some what responsible on this account; i wanted them to deal with me in a perfectly honest and straightforward manner; I would try to do the same with them: there was no use in my wasting effort if they were in sym pathy with 'ho lynching or would ob struct or refuse to help me in the investigation. My appeal for help was in the Interest of law, and tho namo of the State and our Maker. After this I asked eaeh and every one of them the following questions: 1. Are you In sympathy with the lynching? 2. WjJl you help the State's Officers in ferreting cut and bringing to trial these lynchers, honestly? 3. Was this lynching -lone by town ferks or from the surrounding couu t? y ? To these three questions I have ver batim answers on file., Two aldermen answered that they were indifferent to the lynching and would net help to ferret cut the lynchers. 'Che mayor and one alderman answered that, they were not in qynipatliv with the lynch ing and would help the State officers, provided it did not interfere with ihelr business (both of these had much nuslness.) One alderman had done all he could to present the Ivnchlng and would do nothing more. Tho clerk was in sympatliy with the lynchers and would i?? . t help to ferret it. out and would cover up evidence if he knew of any. Tho town marshal was not in sym pathy with the lynching, did all bo could to prevent it and would help all he could to ferret it out, but be was busy colloct'ng taxes. As to the third question, the opinion of three of those present wan that tho lynching was done by country people, and of four that the crowd I hat did i it was mixed; but bv four that thw I country people predominated, becansd nobody cou'd bo minted from the town after Morrison was taken from tho guard bouse. Tins last is the opinion of the great majority of the townspeople to whom 1 talked. After interviewing tin.: town officers, I re quested tho town marshal to go to ev ery business place and announce that I would remain at tho council, cham ber until 5 p. m., (taking 30 minutes for dinner) and wanted to confer with any one who would give me any as sintanoe. I urged the marshal not to pa?? by a single man, if possible. As a result six persons called on me %ono*#if them a member of the Inquest jury on tho lynching of Morrison. This member of that Jury had taken a band in a lynching bee to the ex tent of voting to bang tho culprit; I hut this was for tho usual (?) crime I Of all six none knew anything except an "they say." I tried to meet Tho State's corres pondent, sent word to him and went to his office. He was out of town 1 asked for and tried to find a friend o; tho dead man, outside of fcts own ! family. If there wus one he would ' not own it. Ono man spoke kindly of Morrison, and a man who had known him longest and best. Tho following are my conclusions: William Floyd was a good, average 1 elticen, sober and popular, and of a popular and influential family. John T. Morrisoti was cross-grained and killed two negroes (excusably of in excusably), had been acquitted aud bad had trouble with several other ?-po*>*}o, drank, had no family nor in fluencK-. His killing Floyd was an aw ful murdci" -affd the community'* kill tag him was more awful still, In that tho conscience of the community tft debauched with his blood which wlL not be wiped out for half a century - Morrison was a bad man, hut not a* Mack aa painted. The Jury of in quest is from tho country. From the ruinutag faeia tt tha Jurjf dow not ttfct it into ltt bead to YilMUcil* tfift. * ? * - - _ - * ? law b> ferreting It out, tho Slate ! powerless.

Wo eon asaist tho county; but can't tako charge of It. l am trusting that after ?ho first shock of the. lynching l.a^ passed, the conscience of tho law abiding element or that county will revive, ami something may be done yet to bring these pantos to trial When I hour from you | will Instruct the jury of inquest to close up Its work. I don't want to be a party to a fane. Very respectfully, J- K. llenrv. Solicitor Sixth Ciicult. INCREASE CF LAWLESSNESS An Obssrvant h?n M*k?, Up Int.r mating figures.
