THE OMATTA PAILT BEE: MONDAY, APlttL 13, 1003. YES LIFE FOR FRIENDS Indianapolis. Lawyer Sacrifices Himtslf to Aid Oikett In Bluing Home. ' CONTINUES RESCUEtoORK TILL END CONIES Utile .'xepliew Perishes with Hint Tonus Son of Indianapolis Dot tor Aim Victim of Flame. INDIANAPOLIS, April 12. Two dead and five severely injured la the record of a fire T.'hlch destroyed the house of Dr. Joseph tin today. The dead: NATHAN MORRIS, an attorney. FRANK HAAS, the 12-year-old eon of Dr. Haas. The injured: Mrs. Joseph Haas. Miss Hello Haas. Mlsa Rose Haas. Louis Hans, broken leg. MIpb Grace Iemon, a governess. The dairies, which originated with a de fective furnace, spread with alarming ra pidity, enveloping the whole house before the unfortunate Inmates were fully awake. From tho position of the bodlea It seems clear that once aroused to their danger tho victims made frantic efforts to escape. Louis jumped from the second story win dow, while Frank Haas and he governess endeavored vainly to flee by the back stairs. Mr. Morris evidently neglected his own chance to escape and devoted the last min utes of his life to an attempt to rescue the other members of hla family. He appears to have sounded the first warning and to have then gone around trying to aid hia rela tives. Finally, however, the smoke and flames were too much for him and be fell exhausted to his death. He was a brother of Mrs. Haas and senior partner of the commercial law firm of Morris tc . Newberger. He was born in California In 1857 and had practiced law in Indianapolis since 1877. ANTIS HAVE BUSY SUNDAY (Continued from First Page.) got that sbalary raised fur (hie) a good man, anyway." When Burbank threw that awful fit of rare down at the Millard hotel Saturday In hla ilrade before the little handful of Insurgents that had taken their doll rags and left the republican convention because they could not have their way, he, of course, was excusable, for he had just wit nessed the vanishment of his dearest hope to berclty attorney or at least the re publican, nominee for the office. .Every body unfortunate enough to be caught In that little hall when Burbank emptied his vial of ; wrath thoroughly understood and appreciated hla feelings, and this no doubt accounts for the extraordinary sympathy accoTdea him In his travail. Burbank and the rest of the antls dwelt ao strenuously upon the fact that they had seventy-two delegates at this council of war, when as a matter of fact, which moat of them at least knew perfectly well, seventy-thres regularly elected delegates had remained la the ha.lL Ferdinand Haarmon, who they alleged wanted to desert his Sec ond ward Moores aasoclatea and go to t'jo antls, was not with them, but exercised his own. free, will and stayed In . Washington hall at. the regular convention, and pne of the Ninth warders did. 'the same thing yet these heavy-hearted antls pretended to be lleva they bad a majority with-'tbem." Senator Charles L. Sattnd'er,. whose boom for mayor Vu lannohod under direction of Qua-JDonnecken two -months ago In the Fifth ward and who 'went with the antls when Moores was nominated, said to a re porter for The Bee at the Millard hotel meeting: "I waa not In the race to be nominated. I cancelled my candidacy long go and decided to work for Bingham. All my men would have gone for Bingham had the convention continued in session at Washington hall."

He has been arrogant In the office over which he presides and die tutorial to those under him. Pensioners have suffered at his hands, as well as news papers. It was but a few months ago that Mr. Ware suspended the Issuance of proof slips containing the names of the persons granted pensions and the allowances. Former commissioners believed tbat the pensions granted, original pensions and in creases contained features which the news papers might comment upon or use in their news columns. Mr. Ware, however, took it upon himself to suspend the issuance of these slips, with the result that he has on file in his office hundreds of protests against his ruling, Speaking of pensions, the pension bureau has now taken up claims arising under the act of congress approved March 2, 1903, re lating to an Increase of the pensions of those who have lost limbs In the military or naval aervice of the United States.

NOT ENOUGH CONVICTS TO GO AROUND Iter. Lather r. I.aaeen Knds a Quarter t a Centnrr Pastorate- to Take Ip Work la mission Field. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 12. (Special.) The state capital, only slightly disturbed by the session of the legislature, has settled back In the old rut without a Jar. But nothing Jars this state capital of ours. Its people are too dignified to get excited at the coming of the legislators, and of course are too dignified to notice their departure by recognizing any change In the town. But the haunts of the legislators. There s where the change la. The hotels and the streets. To an outsider, to quote a news boy, the change Is something "fierce." Everywhere is deserted. The bellboy, who for the last few months has been alert with hla car attuned to catch the faintest tinkle of the silver tip, now sleeps on watch. The tippers are gone. The lobby la no more and when the organization went to pieces there was none to, take Ita place. The Lincoln members of that organization are Just plain people now, and their "bear hugs" have changed to a cold, clammy handshake. Wants Convict Laborers. It is now up to the Board of Public Lands and Buildings to say who Is to employ the convict laborers at the state penitentiary. Recently E. W. Davis, former warden of the penitentiary, bought out the button business of Kasper & Son, Including all the machinery and patents. When the transfer was made Mr. Davis found that all of the convlcta working were by Contract em ployed by the Lee Broom and Duster com pany. This company claimed the right to employ all the convicts not working, snd it has a contract to that effect. Just be fore Governor Savage went out of office ho transferred about a dozen convlcta from the button factory to the broom factory. Since that time only the broom factory has been running with convict labor. Mr. Davis claims that the transfer of the convicts was only temporary and haa asked the Board of Public Lands snd Buildings to fur nish him men. The board is considering the matter. Iter. Ludden Qalt Pastorate. Rev. Luther P. Ludden closed his pas torate of Grace Lutheran church today and at the same time ended a quarter of a cen tury of active work In the pulpit. Mr. Ludden quit the ministry and resigned his charge to accept the secretaryship of his church mission. He came to Lincoln and began active work In 1889. From that to the present time Mr. Ludden has seen 200 pastors come and go. From point of serv ice he was the oldest minister in the oity. The position accepted by Mr. Ludden will keep him on the road most of the time. Nearly all of the churches of the state capital held Bpeclal Easter services today and the Inclement weather apparently did not detract from the attendance nor pre-' vent the wearing of new spring outfits. The floral displays in the various churches was greater this year than on any Easter 6c casion in the history of the city. The most popular was the Easter Illy, with the car nation a close second. The supply of the latter ran out several days ago, and they were not so conspicuous at the churches as they might have tfjen. Among the potted plants most conspicuous In the decora tions were the hyacinths, splreas, szaliaa and hydrangias. Among the cut flowers the violet, lily and the rose were very popular. Convention of Teachers, The last meeting of the school year of the Lancaster teachers was held Saturday. It was attended by about 200 and waa a most interesting session. Mrs. A.

It was s bad Easter overhead and the chilly winds kept all but a few of the fans away, but they were sufficiently boisterous to make up for the vacancies In the grands' and. It was Omaha's gnme all the way througn and never did Des Moines look as If It could head It off. The heavy wind made It very difficult to Judge high flys and the fielders on both sides had an opportunity to distinguish themselves by gathering In the wind-swerved balls. The first two runs for Papa Blll'a boys came In the Bepond. ''C&Q" Stewart pasted the ball out along the ground for a single and Patterson got Up to the bat. He hit the ball to Durkee, but failed to reach first ahead of It. Then Gondlng stepped up arid, picking out a floater, knocked the ball out Into middle and "Ace" came homo. The hoodoo had been broken and Hender son proceeded to make sure of it by pound ing out a nice, long triple to center, "while Johnny came marching home." This waa the last of the scoring for this Inning. In the fourth Undertaker Qulnn s family managed . to ' aneak In. a run and Omaha added three more runs to Us score to cinch the game. Bleachers Get a Scare. Until the last of the ninth it waa one, two, three and out. Then the bleachers got sn awful soare With one man out. Henderaon gave Hotter a base on balls and Vandine hits not one to Stewart. Stewart gathersd it up and threw it wildly in the direction of first base. It went down toward the bleachers and Patteraon fol lowed It and succeeded In imitating Stew art's throwing, so Hotter got home and ysndine got to third.! Durkee waa next up and he hit the ball for a seemingly safe single. Dolan fielded it in and threw It to P terson. who , let It go through his fingers, and another man acored. That was enough monkeying and so they settled down and put out two men and took the game. Omaha goes to Lincoln today to play two games with the university tesm today and tomorrow.
