WHITE CITY BURNED

Loss of Life Limited to Two, and
Only Thirty Injured Property
Loss Placed at One Hun
dred Millions.
Brussels Tho white city of tho
world's rair. as tho Belgians have
called their 1010 exposition, is n mass
of HamcB nnd smouldering ruins. A
spnrk falling Into inflammable ma
terial In tho tolcgrnph building burst
up In flames, which, driven by a high
wind, swept lapldly In all directions.
Soon (ho Belgian, English and French
sections wero destroyed. The ilrenien
nnd dotachmcnt8 of soldiers, called
quickly to the scene, found them
selves 'baffled 'by the veritable gale,
which carried the burning em'bers to
all parts of tho grounds. The crowds
became panic-stricken and men,
women nnd children fought mndly to
escape.
The exits became choked with the
struggling masses, and men used
their fists to clear the pathwny. Many
wero ttampled underfoot, und badly
Injured.
At tho time of the outbreak not leas
than 100,000 persons were circulating
in the grounds and the kcrmesz.
Troops were ordered out nnd came
at double quick to aid tho police in
clearing the great grounds. This was
accomplished In fnlr order, except
within the limits or the kermesz,
whero the vast crowds 'became en
tangled In nn almost lnoxtricnblc
mass, fighting desperately to find nn
escape from the flames, which swept
viciously through tho Under-like struc
tures. Soon tho enormous facade tumbled
In ruins. Considering the rapidity of
the conflagration, the small loss of
life is marvelous. So rar as known
up to a Into hour only two are dead.
Tho injured, ns officially announced,
number thirty, but probably mnny
hundreds received minor hurts. The
monetary loss 'by the fire Is estimated
at $100,000,000.

"Contrary to the general opinion
prevailing In the United States, we
do not practice polygamy in our Mex

"We have not receded from our posi

in prnctlco no longer sanction a plu

marriages occur among us today. This

TUBERCULOSIS IN THE PRISON
Per Cent, of Sufferers Is Enormous
and There Seems but One
Remedy.
' From bovoral investigations that
have boon mado by tho National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis, it Ib estimated
that on nn nverago about fifteen per
cent, of tho prison population of tho
country is afflicted, with tuberculosis.
On this basis, out of tho 80,000 prison
ers housed In tho ponal institutions
of tho United States at any given
tlmo, not less than 12,000 aro infected
with this disease. If tho Phlllpplno
islnnds and other insular possessions
wero taken into consideration tho
numbor would bo much larger. Some
of tho prisons of Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and Ohio show such shocking con
ditions with reference to tuberculosis
that many wardens admit that theso
places of detention nro death traps.
Similar conditions could bo found In
almost evory stnte, and In tho major
ity of cases tho only sure romedy Is
tho destruction of tho old buildings
nnd tho eroctlon of now ones.
