MANY DIE IN F1RE1 J B Nineteen Charred Bodies Tell Grim Story of Death < o ROASTED IN A TENEMENT HOUSE J i "?:? lf: More Than 40 Others Were Injured, b and Only a Few of the Sleeping In- i * mates of the Building, Which is on ! C the New York East Side, Escaped ; Unhurt. I v ? I New Y<Jrk, Special.?Nineteen per- b sons were burned to death in a fire i which destroyed the five-story house, 1,005 Allen street, early Friday. More than 40 were injured and only a few of the sleeping inmates escaped unhurt. Several of those who perished were roasted to death in plain view of thousands in the streets. Coroner Goldenkrane declared after an investigation that he had reason to believe the blaze was the work of an incendiary. He issued- subpoenas for the fire marshal, tenement house and building inspector and health and police officials to appear before him at the inquest Thursday. The fire started in the basement and spread with frightful rapidity to the roof. The victims were caught in traps of flames, the halls and exits being 1 rendered impassable in a few minutes after the blaze started. The building was one of the usual tenement and the disaster was the worst in the history of the East Side. The district attorney's office has begun an investigation to place the blame for the great loss of life. Chief Crofcer, of the fire department, asserts that the police and the tenement house departments are to blame for the violations of the fire escape law. The tenement house department officials, however, say that the blame is on the shoulders of the fire commissioner. Of the nineteen dead, three bodies, those of a boy and two girls remain unidentified. Crowded fire escapes in the rear of the tenement house were largely responsible for so many deaths and in juries among its population, wnicn ap- , proaehed 200 souls. t The scenes were heartrending. The fire started in the basement, occupied & by Isaac Davis, his wife and three children. When Davis reached his home early this morning and went into . his store on the same floor he saw a c kerosene lamp in the rear explode. He awoke his wifeapnd both tried to j put out the ,flaming*lamp but without success. A policeman who heard the ^ cry of alarm rushed to the scene f and every effort was made to arouse _ the sleeping people. Meantime Ibe t flames had spread with startling rapidity and the occupants of the upper floors awoke to find themselves confronted by a wall of flames on nearly every side. Panic-stricken people rushed to the fire escapes only to find them literred with rubbish. On some j3 of the escapes the rubibsh was so closely packed that it became impos- ? sible to pass certain points and men, ; women and children stood literally roasting to death as the flames reared ^ through windows around them. One of the escapes was manned by Policeman John J. Down, who had run a " plank across to the window of an ad- ^ joining building. He rescued nearly a dozen persons, but finally fell 20 feet f to the paved yard and shattered his ' shoulder. Dozens of people were taken ~ from the crowded fire escapes and upper windows. By this time the building 0 was a furn&ce and the rescues were " effected in many cases only through 1 heroic, efforts of the firemen. Lieu- v onant rtnnnpr snn of the former chief. 1 descended the now red hot Are escapes five times. Four times he brought e down a woman or a child in his arms. The fifth time he was descending with 11 an unconscious woman but staggared s and was barely saved from death. j* Once Bonner rescued a little girl from " a window where she stood surrounded j1 by flames. She pleaded with him to leave her on the escape and go in after C her little brother whom she said had " fallen unconscious.

Washington, Special.?There is high w authority for the statement that the c; Russian Second Pacific squadron has ' been recalled by the Russian govern- ^ ment.

Bi ~DEgHR IN LIBEL CASE f . tate Supreme Court Hands Down Im- j portant Opinion. Columbia. Special.?An important. deision was handed down in the Supersr Court involving libel suits of $10.- ! 00 each against The Charleston News nd Courier and The Charleston Po3t 1 iy Augustus M. Flood, who was reerred to in both publications as a colored man," in their mention of liis uit against the Charleston Street tailway. The decision is against the lewspapers and the capes go back to Charleston for the assessment of -;u.h lamages as a jury may see fit. The eference to Flood as a colored man vas an error which the one paper fell nto by reason of the other's lack of liligence, and both papers promptly ipologized when the mistake was ailed to their attention. In the coin>laint Mr. Flood alleges that the refernce to him as a colored man damaged lis social and business position to the xtent of $10,000 in each case. The iefendants demurred on the ground hat under the fourteenth and fifteenth mendments to the Federal constitution 0 refer to a man as a negro is not ibelous per se and that to refer to a vhite man as a negro when he is not 1 negro is an apparent mistake which an do him no harm. The Supreme ourt reserves this position and ho'ds hat in spite of the Federal conscituion it is libelous per se to refer to a vhite man as a negro, inasmuch as the aws of this State forbid social equality )y its jim crow car laws, its laws igainst miscegenation and otherwise. *be decision in the newspaper case sJwritten by Chief Justice Pope and ris very exhaustive. Among the parillel cases referred to is one in which i reporter referred to a white man as l "cultured gentleman." the "intelligent ompositor "set it up" "colored gentlenan," and the proofreader changed it .0 "negro." The Supreme Court says: "The only question presented by this ippeal is. 'Is it libelous per se to pubish a white man as a negro?' To 'all a white man a negro affects the social status of any white man so reerred to." Authorities are quoted on his point and the court continues: 'When we stop to think of the racial listinction subsisting between the vhite man and the black man. it must >e apparent that to impute the conlition of a negro to a white man vould affect his, the white man's, social status, and in case any one pubished a white man to be a negro, it vould not only be galling to his ptide. jut would tend to interfere seriously vith the social relation of the?white nan with his fellow white men; and o protect me wnue man uuiu ?uu?? )ublication it is necessary to bring tuch a charge to an issue quickly." In Strauder vs. West Virginia, the ourt held that these amendments, welfth, fourteenth and fifteenth, vere lesigned to accord members of the ne;xo race the same protection in life, iberty and property which was already njoyed by the white race, and novhere does the court in that state reer to the social relations of each race. The statute law of this State forbids he association of the two races, in :uch a way it excludes the negro from vhitc society and vice versa. By the niscegenation statutes, the internarriage of the two races is forbidden nd made a crime. Railroads are retired to furnish separate coaches for he two races. White ohildren and olored children are forbidden to atend the same school. Various opinons are quoted to show that publishng a white man as a negro has been leld to be libelous by various courts. The court then quotes the language f the three amendments to the contitution of the United States referred o and argues that it must be apparnt from consulting the texts that here is not the slightest reference to he social condition of the two races. All take pleasure," it is stated in the pinion, "in bowing to the authority f the United States in regard to hese amendments, but we would be erv far from admitting tnai me sola! distinction subsisting oetween the no races has been in any wise affecitd." In concluding the court holds* "We, therefore, hold that these iiree amendments to the Federal contitution have not destroyed the H.v f this State, which makes the pubcation of a white man as a negro nything but libel. The judgment of his court is that hte judgment of the Ircuit Court be reversed when it susJtaed the demurrer In this case and he action is remanded to the Circuit tourt for such other proceedings as iay be in accordance with law."

Nashville, Tenn., Special.?Governor James B. Frazier was Wednesday afternoon nominated for United States Senator by the Democratic caucus of the State Legislature. The vote was by acclamation, no other name being presented to the caucus. When that body convened. It was supposed the contest was to be a three-cornered one, friends of former Governors Benton McMillin and Robert L. Taylor having been actively at work in their interests. A test vote came, however, in an effort to adjourn the caucus until Monday next. The motion was defeated, 36 to 34, and it was apparent that the Frazier men were in the majority. Friends announced the withdrawal of ex-Governor Taylor and of Mr. McMillen from the race. The effort to postpone action was productive of some talk fraught with feelings, the phrases "snap judgment" and "conspiracy" being rather freely used. After the defeat of the motion, however, Governor Frazier's nomination followed amidst much enthusiasm Tt-hirh fcntinnprl thrnnch the Gov ernor's graceful speech of acceptance. New Trial in Chadwick Case. Cleveland. 0., Special.?The , attorneys for Mrs. Chadwick filed a motion for a new trial on the ground of error in admititng Incompetent testimony, excluding competent testimony and errors of law in the trial. The motion raises technical points as to the composition of the jury and alleges that newly discovered evidence Is at hand which the defense could not with due prudence and diligence have discovered in time to present at the trial. Judge Taylor will probably set the time for the hearing of argument of the motion today, and it is expected that the arguments willbe made Thursday. Two Men In Fatal Fight. Gastonia, N.

' Large Milling Intrests To Try R? duction of Hours of Labor. p Union, Special.?A very important move that may have far reaching effects on cotton manufacturing interests throughout the South will be in- _ augurated on Thursday, March lfith, ' when the three big cotton mills, of 1-: _t_ T /" ? T\itnnnn in nroeirlont a Wlllfll V^UJ. X. V^. L/uavau 19 j/ivoiuwv, | j and Mr. W. E. Ttouchslone superintendent, and the Excelsior Knitting Mills, Mr. Emslie Nicholson president, will voluntarily reduce the 66 hours per week schedule and adopt the 10 hour a day system. The Duncan Mills, in which this will be done, are the two Union cotton mills and Buffalo cotton mills, in p Union's suburbs, and the Excelsior mills, which operate a total of 162,000 spindles and 4,400 looms, employ 2,600 operatives and directly affect 7,- ^ 000 people. Though the work hours ^ each day have been shortened, the wages paid spinners and piece workers will remain the same, and it is ' believed that the product will be . Q equally as large and of better quality. w The matter of adopting a 10-hour a p day system has been under considersi ion for some time, and was today officially decided upon by the board of directors and made known to the C( public. It is understood that the oper- ti atives in all the mills, having an intl- cl mation that the mill management was favorably disposed to the plan, peti- u tioned unanimously, agreeing to ac- l? cept the same wages for their work as on the longer day system, and the jj rii??nnsltioA to curtail hours does not i> signify that the mills are short on tl cotton, as it is stated oil highest au- jj thority that there is a supply on hand to run all of them many months. q These adoption of this plan makes u these mills the only cotton milN in jj the South operating under the 10-hour 0, a day system, except in Virginia, n where it is law, and a few in North m Carolina. Whether or not the plan a; will go into effect in Col. Duncan's g other mills, Seneca Cotton Mills and w Pine Creek Manufacturing Company, c, at Camden, which together operate tl 36,000 spindles and 900 looms, has not 0 yet been announced. Neither can it be learno 1 today exactly whit the y other four large mills in Union county will do about reducing hours. Q is Pardon's Asked and Refused. ? Gov. Heyward last week pardoned ' three convicts whose terms had ex- gj pired or are about to expire and re- a fused pardon to seven others. Some of the cases have already attracted ^ attention. w Wm. S. Shipes, of Edgefield, after having served two years of a sentence of three years for housebreaking and larceny, was given a pardon, tl He was sentenced in March, 1903, the w jury having been out two days and a two nights. All of the jurors asked d for the pardon and the judge and sol- si icitor recommended it. There is said n to have been grave doubt as to the tl prisoner's guilt. * Claude Dorn, also of Edgef.eld coun- ti ty, was convicted of having falsely packed cotton. He had nearly finish- n ed his term of servitude and his citi- ti zenship was restored on petition of a a numhop r?f nwinlp h Tom Lambert, of Beaufort, received a< a commutation of sentence from $75 a to $50 on the charge of riot. is TTie most notable case, on account u of the prominence of the relatives of vs the convict, was that of Sam Staggs. t< of Spartanburg county. Staggs v;as o: convicted of having killed John Chap- h man three years ago. It is now al- b leged that he was convicted on per- ii jured testimony. Solicitor Sease and n Judge Ernest Gary declined to recom- ,1' mend Staggs' pardon. The witness alleged to be guilty of perjury has rot been arrested and convicted of that crime. Those presenting the pe- * tition in favor of Staggs make'affidavit d that Eugene Norman, who was one of the State's chief witnesses, 6tated that he swore falsely at the trial, and b it was upon Norman's evidence that b conviction was secured. a Bill McClintock, of Laurens, is under n a ten years sentence on the charge jj of manslaughter. No good reason was b rrlvon tn r Interfering with Che sen- II tence. Bill killed Lee Phillips on the ? 30th of August, 1903. The deceased n had come to McClintoek's house as a p boarder and had run off with McClin- n tock's wife. Like George Haynes, ? McClintock waited a day or two before b going after his wife, and this operated n against him a-t the trial. y Jonn Wax was convicted in New- n berry county of burglary and larceny, d and sentenced to serve fifteen months t on the chaingang. He has served all * of this time with the exception of two months, but Governor Heyward saw no reason why this should be taken j fr'.m his sentence. , A refusal was recorded in the appli- fi cation of John Johnson, who was sen- ^ tenced to pay a fine of ?100 or serve ^ 30 days on the chaingang for assault n and battery in Greenwood county. ti A refusal was given in the applica- P tion in behalf of Austin White, of j, Greenville, who is under sentence for i; manslaughter. h The case of Glenn Rodgers is one of 1 particular interest. He was convict- d ed in Union county on the charge of 8 PQno Tha nonapn opMn,. fin_ ^ u^vi AUW pupvio uoxviii^ lui iuu par- ? don are numerous. Solicitor Sease p asks that the pardon be granted. The [' mother of the girl in the case seeks a " pardon, and Judge Gage states he does s not remember the case, and does not express any opinion.

It is not a good thing to see tties grow at disproportionate spepd datively to the country; for the small ind owners, the men who own thefat ttle homes, and therefore to a rev irge extent the men who till fanw, ie men of the soil, have hitherto made ie foundation of lasting national life 1 every State; and If the foundation ecomes either too weak or too narrow, ie superstructure, no matter how at-actlve, is in imminent danger of fallig. "But far more important than tha ,uestion of the occupation of our cJU-^ ?ns is the question of how their fnmOy fe is conducted. No niatter what that ccupation may be, as long as there la a sal home and as logig as those who lake up that heme do their duty to one nother, to their neighbors and to the tate, it is of minor consequence hether the man's trade is piled In the Duntry or the city, whether it calls for ie work of the hands or for the work r the head. "But the nation is in a bad way if lere is no real home, If the family i not of the right kind; if the man is ot a good husband and father, if he i brutal or cowardly or s&flsh, if the ' oman has loet her sense of duty, if tie is sunk in rapid self-indulgence or as let her nature be twisted so that tie prefers a sterile pseudo-lntellectullty to that great and beantifnl develr^ pment of character which comes only^ ) those whose lives know the fullness f duty done, of effort made and selficrifice undergone.
