Insurance will not cover more than one-tenth of the losses. Mr. Keenan blames the steel shutters and doors which are approved by the fire underwriters for most of the damage.

No man ever received such terrible pun-. lshment in a San Francisco ring and prob- bly Young Corbett Is the only man In the country who could administer such a beat- ng to Hanlon. When the Snn Franciico boy was carried to his corner, still con scious, but unable to walk, his seconds worked vigorously to revive him. The ter ribly beaten lad, however, commenced to vomit blood and things looked very seri ous for him for a short time. He was finally revived and carried from the ring by one of his seconds. Before he left Young Corbett paid a high tribute to his skill and gameness and saluted his brother prize fighter with an affectionate kiss.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 29 -At the Instance of President Roosevelt, who has Interested himself In the reports from abroad of mas sacres and contemplated massacres of Jews In Klshlne-.T, the State department Is mak ing active inquiry through Its diplomatic and consular officers with the view to as certaining the exact situation as affecting these people. The United States consular agent at Odessa already has been heard from and he cabled the State department today that there has been no fresh out breaks at Kishineff as reported. Simon Wolf, representing the B'nal C'rith, and Adolphus S. Solomon of New York, one of the trustees of the Baron de Hlrsch fund, held a conference with Acting Secretary Loomis today, during which the subject of the Jews In Russia was dis cussed. Mr. Loomis showed them the Odessa dispatch, which gave them some feeling of relief. They did not present a petition and will not do so unless later in formation proves ttie situation to bo as serious as reported. Mr. Wolf said that he had been Impelled to col! at the department on account of the meeting which recently was held In Rngland over which Lord Rothschild presided, which he said gave the matter a character of seriousness which otherwise might not have been accepted. Fall to See President. Simon Wolf endeavored to have an audi ence with Baron Pternburg, the German ambassador, today, but without avail. Tha ambassador was not at home to Mr. Wolf when the latter called at the embassy and had the first secretary and counsellor see him. Mr. Wolf Informed the secretary that he came primarily In the interest of a client who had done some legal work for the em bassy and was now In trouble. Mr. Wolf Improved tho opportunity, however, to say that he was Interested In the Kishineff agitation In this country and had an ap pointment to see the president on the sub ject today. Mr. Wolf made no proposition to Baron Bussche touching the Implication of the embassy -in the trouble of the Jews, Messrs. Wolf and Solomon later in the day called at the White House, but did not see the president. They were Informed that the president had anticipated their mission by requesting the State department to In quire through Its consular officers In the Kishineff district as to the reported condi tions there.

STANDING OF WALTER H01SE (Continued from First Tsge.) known Molse and Haywnrd about ten years, but that Molse had never In any way solicited protection from him, as a member of tho board, for pickpockets. thieves, gamblers or any other class of lawbreakers. At this Huge of the proceedings Attorney Connell raised an objection to the cross examination of the witnesses on the ground that he was not under trial and was In no way bound to answer questions which, If answered In the affirmative, would In criminate himself. The attorney said that It was not the Intention of the Investiga tion to try to drag Into question the char acter of the ex-members of the Fire and rollce board, or of any one else, with the exception of Molse, Hayward and Oala- gher. Attorney Rush jumped to his feet and resuonded hotly: "Tou have already dragged them In. The name of Mr. Ilerdman was spoken here Inst night, and we have a right to examine the witness." The members of the commission looked bored while the attorneys wrangled. Mayor Moores flnnlly stated that the examination might proceed. Deny Extending Protection. Mr. Herdmnn said he had never, as a member of the board, extended siy pro tection to gamblers, thieves or pickpockets on account of Mr. Molse. He said he knew that the reputation of Molse had been made the basis of a political fight In Omaha, and that he had noticed that he had been charged In the newspapers with criminal offences. James C. Bullard, a member of the Con Gallngher board, stated that Molse bod never solicited protection from him for any lawbreakers. in reply to an objection Mayor Moores said that ho would rule out the evidence of Mr. Bullard, and that, he had allowed Ilerdman to testify because his name had been mentioned In previous proceedings of the examination. Upon Attorney Rush making tho state ment that he wished to show by the tes timony of Mr. Bullard that Molse had never solicited protection from the mem bers of the board the mayor allowed the examination to continue. Attorney Connell did not question tha witness. Dr. Peabody was called for, but failed to respond, as he was not present. It developed from the testimony of Frank B. Kcnnard that he knew nothing of the Molse reputation further than the financial portion of It, and that he considered good. Wnildell Knows Nothing. C. W. Waddell said he had never heard anything against Molse, with the exception that someone told him there was a big article in The Bee about the Molse case before the board. He said he knew Jack Norton was running a place next to Mol?e, but he had never seen anyone about the place of either Norton or Molse but who appeared respectable. G. A. ' Lindquest testified to having known Molse for a number of years and thought he bore a good reputation. A. H. Briggs took tho stand and testified regarding the standing of Molse In the com munlty. He appeared to be about the only witness examined who was sure of his ground. In regard to Klrschbaum's reputa tion, Briggs replied that he had none, and In reply to a question quickly put and too quickly answered to be objected to,- he said that he would not believe Klrschbaum under oath. He made the same statement regarding Kid Flynn. He stated that he read the papers, but never had hard of any charges ot any nature against Molse before tonight. Alexander Altschuler was then called and stated that he knew Phillips as the man who operated a mechanical race horse came In a blacksmith shop on North Sixteenth street. Altschuler testified that he got him out of jail when he was arrested for running a gambling device, and that Molse had nothing to do with It. He said Klrsch baum and Phillips told him that Norton got some money from them, but never mentioned Molse. He said he was at Lake Washington last year, where he met Kid Flynn, and that Flynn told him he had It In for Molse and Intended to get even. Molse Tells His Own Story. Walter Molse was then called upon to tell his story. He stated that he had never asked any member of the Fire and Police board for protecilon for anyone. He said Klrschbaum was in his place two or threa times, but he. never hod any business with him. He said he never knew Jimmy Mc Morrls, who was arrested, nor had he had any dealings or even acquaintance with Jim Phillips. He related a long story as to how he had helped Flynn financially, for no apparent reason. He said while he was assisting Flynn to live during a period when he was looking for a Job that Rose water got Flynn to make an . affidavit against him. Molse thought better of this a moment later, nnd said he did not know If it was Rosewater or not, but he felt sure that it was someone who got Flynn to do It. He said that he heard that Flynn's picture was In the rogees' gallery and It was his understanding that Flynn was to get his rlcture from the gallery If he signed the affidavit, and he understood It was secured for him. The witness related his experience with the revenue officers and stated that he would not give a cigar to have the trouble settled one way or the other. Attorney Connell stated that It would require two hours for him to cross-examine the witness, and the board then adjourned until S o'clock today. Chsmptfae.
