BOSTON, May 28 -Three men lost their
lives In a fire which broke out In the
heart of the wood working district' along
the East Boston water front this after
noon. They were Patrick Rourke, James
Varasso and Tony Rose.
The lire was one of the most threatening
Tor years In East Boston. Three alarms
were necessary to summon sufficient ap
paratus to bring It under control.
The fire originated In the. box factory of
S. T. Lebarbn, on Bordes street, and was
preceded by an explosion, but whether of
a boiler, saw dust or hot air, has not yet
been determined. The flames quickly
swept ' through the structure, cutting off
escape of the workmen In the upper
aiuriea.
Many were reacuod by firemen and taken
down on ladders. Several of the firemen
Were overcome by smoke.
During the progress of the fire two
small boys were caught with a crowd In
an alley. The fire cut off their escape and
In the scramble for safety both boys were
knocked down and trampled upon, receiv
ing serious Injuries.
. The property loss is $50,000. '

GENERAL EVANS MAKES CHIEF ADDRESS
Proper Reapert raid to Confederate
Leader Whoae Bravery Won Re
arard from Flghtera on Both
Sides In Late Conflict.
ATLANTA. Ga., May 3-The splendid
equestrian monument to General John B.
Oordon, who died January 9, 19.M. was un
veiled here today. Despite threatening
Weather and occasional drops of fain, the
entlra program was carried out.
Thousands gathered from all parts of the
state and from many sections of the south
to pay the tribute of respect to the gen
eral's memory. Preceding the unveiling
ceremonies, a parade traversed the princi
pal downtown streets. It Included a bat
talion of the Seventeenth Infantry, United
States army; two regiments of Georgia
state troops and a large number of unat
tached military and civic organisations.
Description of the Jlntn.
The equestrian statue of General John
B. Oordon, cast In copper bronse, which
was unveiled today, stands on a broad
pedestal of Oeoigla granite at the north
west corner of the state Capitol grounds.
Rising twenty-flve feet from the base of
the pedestal to the head. It occupies a
commanding position, overlooking the busi
ness part of the city some distance away.
The figure of Gordon Is represented sealed
on his fsvorite mare, his head bared, the
left hand holding tho reins of the horse's
neck, while the right hangs by his side.
The pedestal raises the figure of the horse
and rider about ten feet above the granite
coping which surrounds It. The name
"Gordon" In raised letters Is cut on Uie
front of the pedestal, while on either side
will appear a bronze bas relief, one repre
senting Gordon at the battle of Spottsyl
vanla, when, before his division, he in
sisted on General Lee going to the rear;
the other bears figures typical of the three
phases of Gordon's life, typifying the sol
dier, the statesman and the patriot.
The statue Is the work of Sculptor Solon
H. Borglum of Norwalk, Conn.
Ten thousand dollars of the cost of the
monument was raised by private sub
scription, the remaining (15,000 being an
appropriation by the Georgia legislature.
The dedicatory oration was delivered by
General Clement A. Evans. j
Mrs. Francis Gordon Smith of Atlanta
and Mrs. Caroline Lewis Gordon Brown
j of Vermont, daughters of General Gordon,
j performed the unveiling.
The statue was formally delivered to the
state by Captain Nathaniel Harris and was
accepted by Governor Terrell.
Tho oration of General Evans, like the
j rest of the program, was In the open air.
In the shadow of the state Capitol.
Addrcaa of General Bvnns.
General Evans gave an Interesting history
of General Oordon from the time he en-
tered the confederate army as a captain
until the end of the war. He said Qor
don's promptitude In battle was never
more conspicuously displayed than In
making the charge at Gettysburg. He In
sisted that history should not class the
Gettysburg battle as more than a techni
cal confederate defeat upon the one lone
ground that Lee withdrew across the
Potomac.
General Evans told of a conference held
with General Gordon after the war when
they found their minds In accord upon
the resolve to stand by their people, for
weal or woe, that the state must be honor-
ably restored to Its place In the union, and Tne po,,,,, 8ay the r(.agon that thore w
that friendship between the people of no interference was because all of the
the south must be regained and put upon patrolmen on the street had been wlth
a patriotic basis, so that sectional hate J drawn for duty In other section. nf th-
would be extinguished. General Evans
said he called the country to witness the
faithfulness with which Gordon carried
out these high resolves during his entire
life. He had, he said, the heart md hand
of the south and of his confederate com
rades, because of his unfailing -fidelity to
thelrause, and he won the good will of
the north by his broad and true patriot
ism.

WORK
Great Sculptor, Solon Borslam, Talks
of John D. Gordon's Statue.
The man who . rose to greet me with
that fine simplicity of manner which wlris
friendship on the Instant. I know for Solon
H. Borglum, "the prairie sculptor" he
whose genius has caught and embodied In
bronse and marble the fierce, elemental
spirit of the vsst west, and whose work
not only accords him a place In the fore
most rank of American sculptors, but gives
promise of universal greatness, says a
writer In the Atlanta Sun. Arart from
these facts, extraordinary Interest and Im
portance attaches to Mr. Borglum's hasty
visit to Atlanta, Inasmuch as he comes to
confer with the Gordon statue commission
In regard to the statue of General John B.
Gordon, upon which the sculptor Is now
at work. The unveiling of ihe siatue will
take place In Atlanta late In Jtin. Instead
of In May, as was at first Intended, nnd
will be an event In which centers the love
and enthusiasm of thousands of lovnl
southern hearts. I say southern, and yet
the event Is of far greater than sectional
Interest, subscriptions for the statue hav
ing been received from every part of these
I'nlted States. Every hero belonps to the
world. "As you probably know," suld Mr.
Borglum, when asked to tell of hl3 work
on the Oordon statue, "the first model I
submitted was rejected by the commission.
This represented General Gordon on his
horse, rushing Into battle, his hand up
lifted In command. On the pedestal were
confederate soldiers, marching. Though
this was not accepted, I was later given
the award of the commission, and learned
that the preference of the veterans waa a
statue which should represent General Gor
don 'In review of his troops. Accordingly
the statue which will be unveiled In June
represents your great general In review.
The bas reliefs In bronse. on the pedestal
are an Important feature of the work.
One of these Is Genarsl Oordon as the
'Man of the 12th of May,' when In the
battle of Spottsylvanla he rushed to the
front, turned Lee's horso gsldo, and, flying
In the face of almost certain death, led
the troops. The other bas relief portrays
him as governor, senator and peacemaker."
Surtly a great subjoct for a great, artist,
epitomizing a life which will ahine one of
the brightest stars In history so long as
time shall last.
'Though familiar from boyhood with the
history of the civil war," said Mr. Borglum,
"I Immediately began to study minutely
Gordon s career. For two years and a half,
I have continued to study It. and the trou
bled era In which he figured so conspicu
ously. Aa I speaking of this southern sub
ject leminda me that the south offers to
the sculptor material as rich 'and pictur
esque as any to be found In. the west, or
elsewhere on the globe. I hope to do other
southern subjects later,"
Who, I wonder, will be the first to carve
In stone the eplo of our civil war: the fierce
drama of our reconstruction period, when
the flower of southern chivalry lay shat
tered In the dust; and the dark shadow
of the race problem which today broods
threateningly over this ' radiant child of
promise that we call the new south T
When good foreign blood mixes with
American. . r aaatmUat tb peat In
American life, the result Is often heroic
Solon Borglum,, born In Ogden, Utah, of
Danish parents, exemplifies the truth of the
statement. v . .
As a boy and youth ha gave little promise,
however, of being mor than a successful
ranchman. A timid, quiet child, with an
Imagination more lively than any one knew,
he was considered a fcllure at school, and
at the age of 15 he was permitted by his
father to take charge of a ranch. Until
he was 3 he lived the wild, free
life of the plains. One day his
brother, who was a successful painter
casually asked. "Why don't you become
an artist, Solon? You're such a worker
I believe you'd succeed." Strange as It
may seem, this chance remark was the
turning point of hts career, and after ho
left the ranch we And him struggling
against poverty In ios Angeles and later
In Cincinnati, and trying to learn to paint.
The passion for art, which had been latent
In him so long, was now fully aroused and
he worked Incessantly, It wss almost by
accident that he began to do some modeling
and that he discovered sculpture to be for
him the true medium of expression.
"Thaf very year," Mr. Borglum told me,
"I won a special award at the Cincinnati
Art Institute, and later a scholarship.
Then I set out for Paris. But when I got
there I said to myself, These people have
copied from nature and that Is what I
must do at home. Why have I comoT'
And the whole time I stayed I struggled
hard hot to let my work lose Its stamp of
American life. That Is what our artists
and sculptors fall to prevent. They go to
Europe and become Europeans. They ab
sorb the mythology And classicism which
In Europe are the true thing, but which
are not true In America. I wish I could
tell you how deep In me Ilea this American'
Idea, how sacred It Is to me the ambition
to make my work typically American, to
let It express the democracy, the splendid
youth, the crudeness, too. If you will, of
my native country. Such ambition In us
nil Is the only basis for a great national
life."
As we review his work we see how faith
ful he has been to this Idal. Wherever his
groups are found. In the Snlon, In the
Louvre In Paris, th the Metropolitan In
New Tork, In Cincinnati, Chicago or else
where, they express a phase of life typi
cally American. Ho Is In sculpture what
Walt Whitman la In literature a force as
elemental, as unself-consrlous, and Irre
sistible as the wind or rain.
Speaking of his work, some critic has
aptly remarked that Inasmuch as hts mes
sage Is not a personal or self-conscious
one It becomes the message of the great
west Itself. What changes his work will
undergo and whether It will rise to the
full measure of greatness when the ego of
the man becomes articulate. It Is Interest
ing to speculate.
MAGNIFYING SMALL INCIDENT

"This Is absolutely the first Intimation I
have had of any violence shown to Japa
nese In San Francisco. I shall have the
officers of the staff Investigate thoroughly
and lay their reports before the governor."

. BOISE, Ida., May 25. The unuaual spec
tacle of accepting a Juror.oppoaed to capital
punishment, except as an extreme measure
tor the protection of society . against war
and anarchy, came today tn the Steuncn
berg murder trial and his retention after
he had clearly showed that he waa dls
qualified, raises a question as to the
regularity of the proceedings.
. J. E. Tourtellolte, an architect of Boise,
Is the Juror, and his retention seemed to be
clearly due to a willingness of both sides
to gamble on his views, when the Jury
reaches the supreme solution of the case,
the state on the hope that It can meet his
Ideas as to anarchy, tho defense-on hi op
position to the death penalty.
Mr. Tourtellotte came w)th the rest of the
talesmen early In the day and his direct
examination by Senator Borah developed
tn a mild form his scruple against the In
fliction of the death penalty tn ordinary
murder cases.
His acceptance by the- state was a sur
prise that was within a few -minutes Inten
sified by the views brought -forth by ques
tions propounded by Clarence Darrow of
the defense. Tourtellotte. swore that h
was opposed to capital punishment, except
In time of war and when society must de
fend Itself against organisations seeking
to destroy It. He declared that society had
no right to take from a man anything It
could not give, but as ' for anarchists, If (
they were the kind of rrten he thought J
they were ne would hang them on sight, t
The defense seemed under the Impression
that Senator Borah was not In earnest.
and probably on that theory passed him
too.
Tourtellotte Raises Point.
When the Jury filed In after lunch
Tourtellotte stood In his place and, claim
ing the attention of the court, said that
he was disqualified to serve In the case.
Ho again asserted that he was opposed
to capital punishment and pointed out thit
It would be Impossible for him to take
the oath necessary at the' outset of the
trial. Judge Wood read the statute cov
ering the matter,, and it showed that a
Juror having eonsclefitlous ' scruples
against .capital punishment - could not be
permitted or required to serve. He asked
counsel what they had to say about the
matter. Senator Borah questioned Tour

defense also challenged Juror John Whlt
lock today, and th slate challenged Juror
George Mclntyre. The vacancy created by
the sixteenth challenge Is still unfilled.
There ar four challenge unexpended and
there are twelve talesmen of the second
special ventre left unexamined. The pay
streak ran out before the day was over,
and unless there 1 good luck with the
little squad of unused talesmen there will
have to be another adjournment some time
on Monday and a third special venire.
The long strain of Jury-getting seems
to be showing oh th nerves of those who
are doing th work. Today, when the state
challenged a talesman for bias, Attorney
Richardson remarked "that t&e" state " had
tried hard enough to qualify hihj. James
H. Hawley took serious offense at th re
mark and said that It was ' untrue and
asked for the protection of the court, say
ing that things were going to be different
from now on.
Judge Wood told htm to sit down, but 1
the order had to be repeated before It was
obeyed.
The court continue to. stiffen against the
rehease of talesmen on excuses light and
frivolous. Today Judge Wood took a' hand
In the examination of every talesman and
made sure of the existence of disqualifi
cation before acceding to It.
