Illinois Appointments.
After a conference t-day between Speaker
Cannon and President Roosevelt. It waa
announced tha Francis M. Wright, now
one of the judges of the I'nlted Slates

senate today.
Mr. Taft was accompanied to the cabinet
meeting today by Mr. Lawshe, auditor of
the Philippine government, who desired to
pay his respects to the president before
returning to his post. Mr. riwshe has
been In this country for several months
In connection with the Philippine govern
nient exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase
exposition, the accounts of which he has
been adjusting. His accounts show that
In round figures this exhibit cost the
Philippine commission $1,600,000, while the
returns from franchises, admissions and
other services were a little over $700,000.
Although this shows that the exhibit was
far from self-sustaining from a pecuniary
point of view, yet the Philippine commis
sion feels amply repaid for the expendi
ture, by reason of the great stimulus given
to the interests of the American people In
the Philippines and a belief that It cer
tali.ly will result in a targe and permanent
Increase of trade between the islands and

oat Injary.
NEW YORK, March 14 Nineteen persons
were burned to death In a Are which de
stroyed the five-story tenement house at
106 . Allen street early today. More than
forty 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 Goldenkrans -declared
after an investigation that he had reaaon to
believe the blase was the work of an In
cendiary. He Issued subpoenas for the fire mar
shal, tenement house and building Inspec
tors and health 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 rendered Impas
sable In a few minutes after the blase
started.
The building was one of the usual
crowded tenements, 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 Croker of the fire department as
serts 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 unldentt
fled. Apparently every person known to
have been in the house when the fire
started has been accounted for, and It Is
believed that these three victims were visi
tors with some of the families who lived
there. The bodies were so badly burned
that they are practically unrecognisable.
The Dead.
The known dead are:
RACIIAE1. SOLOMON, 45 years!
JACOB SOLOMON, 18 years.
ISAAC SOLOMON, 18 years.
JE8SIE COHEN, 15 years.
ROSE WIENER. 23 years.
SANDER WIENER. 4 years.
IDA MU8KOWITZ. 10 years.
HARRV KAUFMAN. 10 years.
ROSE MILLER, 4 years.
MORRIS MILLER. 6 months old.
SARAH KLINE, aged 60.
KFJLIA ZE IDLER, aged 30.
HARRY ZEIDLER, ngid 11.
HARRIS ZEIDLER. aged 40.
.RACHEL 8TH1TLER, aged 12.
'QERSHON FUCHS, aged 30.
Nearly all the bodies taken from the
building were so badly burned as to be
almost unrecognizable.
Two hundred persons herded In the big
five-story, double-decker tenement . house
were sleeping when .flames from an over
turned or exploding kerosene lamp In the
basement spread through the structure and
wrapped the entire building in flames al
most before an alarm had been sounded.
Even when the sleepers-awoke at the first
cry It waa almost too late, but hardly more
than a moment was necessary to show
them that their troubles had scarcely be
gun. The, long, narrow Iron fire escapes
which ran down the building on each, of
Its exposed sides bad been made recepta
cles for rubbish of all descriptions and In
many cases they were little better than
useless. It was found also that every fire
escape platform on the building-had Irr It
a "blind," or a square pleoe of board which
fits Into the opening through which the
ladder passes In the grated floor. The re
sult of these obstructed escapes waa evi
dent when It was found that nearly all
of the dead belonged on the top floor of the

loss of some Uvea was an Immovable sky
light at the brad of a ladder leading to
the roof. Battened and partially covered
by lea. thla skylight resisted all efforts to
force It and a pile of the bodies of the dead
lay under It when the horror was over.
Fire Starts la Basement.
The fire started In the basement, occupied
by Isaac Davis, his wife snd three chil
dren. Davis had been out last night and
returning to his home early this morning,
went Into his store, on the same floor. Just
In time to see a kerosene lamp in the rear
explode. He awoke his wife, and both
tried to put out the flaming lamp, but with
out success, and then gave all their atten
tion to gettlnc their children out of the
burning building. A pellceman who heard
the cry Of alarm rushed to the scene, and
every effort was made to rouse the sleep
ing persons In the house.
rive Escapes An Useless.
The panic-stricken people, fighting for
their lives, rushed to the Are escapes, only
to find them littered with rubbish of all
descriptions and almost Impassable. Down
through this nlottered narrow passageway
flowed a stream of humanity. On some of
the escapes the rubbish was so closely
packed that it became Impossible to pas
certain points, and men, women and chil
dren stood literally roasting to desth as
the flames roared through windows around
them. One of the escapes, which ended
near the roof of a shed about twenty feet
above the ground, bad been maned by
Policeman John J. Dwan, who had run a
plank across to the window of an adjoin
ing building. Nearly a dosen persons had
been carried across this narrow bridge by
the policeman when the flame's began to
sweep around the lower end of the Are
escape. Rushing Into the Are, the police
man seized a little child and started on
the last return trip across to the place of
safety. He had made only half the dis
tance when the plank, burned more than
half through, broke where It rested on
the fire escape, and the rescuer and res
cued fell to the stone paved yard twenty
feet below. The man struck fairly on his
back and one of his shoulders was shat
tered. by the force of the falL The child
waa uninjured.
In the meantime firemen had run up lad
ders at other points around the building
and dozens of people were being taken
from the crowded Are escapes and upper
windows. - By this time the building was a
furnace and the rescues were effected In
many cases only after the greatest show
of bravery on the part of the firemen.
Firemen Show Bravery.
Heroes developed at this time. Lieuten
ant Bonner, son of the former fire chief,
ssoended the now heated Are escapes five
times. Four times he came down with a
woman or a child in his arms. The fifth
time he was making for the street with an
unconscious woman when his strength gave
way. He staggered and would have fallen
to death had not a comrade come to his
assistance. As Bonner reached a fourth
story .window on one of his ascents and
dragged a little girl from a window where
she stood ' surrounded by flames, she
pleaded with him to leave her on the es
cape and go In after her little brother.
whom she carried to the window. He had
fallen unconscious and waa roasting, she
said. Bonner jumped through the win
dow, and It seemed to those below as If he
waa going into a furnaoe. He found the
little boy Just inside the window and car
ried, him out.
Fireman Hannihan repeated Bonner's
feat on the third floor, rescuing Miss Fannie
Ginsberg.
Death on Fire Kai-ape.
A woman, her night, dress blazing, was
seen to crawl out of a' window and start
down the fire escape from the top floor.
The hot Iron blistered hr feet and burned
deep Into her flesh, bu site continued on.
The scaling ladders were run up close to
the escape and a fireman had almost
reached her, when a belch of flame covered
her like a wave and bore her down. She
fell back and died In sight of the horror
stricken crowd.
The position of those who had taken
refuge In the rubbish-choked fire escapes
became moie and more desperate every
minute. They feared to Jump, and they
could not wait until the scaling ladders
reached them, so Intense was the heat. Now
and then one would Jump to the ground
with a scream. A baby waa flung Into the
arms of a policeman below by its fear
crazed mother. Just as the policeman
caught the child the mother dived to the
ground. Her body struck the policeman on
the head and he fell , unconscious. The
woman escaped Injury by the fall, but she
had been badly burned. The baby was un
hurt
Death was reaping a harvest on other Are
escapes on the building as well at this time.
At the rear two men and two women were
seen on the escapes. The women came Arst
and every step they made was blocked by
some can or box or rubbish, often too heavy
for them to lift. The men would then come
to their assistance and hurl the obstacle
Into the yard. The quartet were descending
slowly between the third and fourth Aoors,
when Aames burst from the windows all
about them. The flames dsrted up from the
third floor windows, enveloped the two men
and women and they fell and were roasted
to death. Their bodies were got down by
the firemen.
Chicago Factory.
CHICAGO. March 14. Fire which broke
out today in the printing snd box depart
ment of the Grand Crossing Tank com
pany's plant on Seventy-ninth street and
South Chicago avenue, - caused a loss of
about 1300,000, fully insured. After the

and roof of the box and printing depart

But after Anally arriving at the fire, from
some reason not explained. It waa found
there waa a scarcity In the water supply.
While the Aremen hurried to different
water plugs In the vicinity In a fruitless
search for water, the Aames spread from
bouse to house without being resisted. At
last they burned themselves out.

NATURAL DEATH. SAYS JORDAN
Controversy Over the Canse of the
Demise of Mrs. Stanford ot
Yet r.nded.
HONOLULU. .March 14. That Mrs. Stan
ford died a natural death probably will be
the conclusions of those who are now In
vestigating the case. President Jordan of
Stanford university has emphatically ex
pressed the opinion that Mrs. Stanford's
death was not due to strychnine poisoning.
He says that when he became familiar
with her symptoms he reached that con
clusion. He is a doctor of medicine and
says that since he has learned that the
amount of strychnine taken by Mrs. Stan
ford wss not beyond a medical dose he Is
more sure than ever that she was not
poisoned. Dr. Jordan has been assisting
the detectives to tho extent of suggesting
questions as a physician during their In
quiries regarding her symptoms snd re
sults of the autopsy.
The territorial senate today decided to
adjourn at 2 o'clock tomorrow, snd the
senators will attend the funeral of Mrs.
Stanford in a body. The house did not
vote to adjourn.
J. F. Hackfeld, who now represents the
Stanford Interests here, and C. M. Cooke,
president of the Bank of Hawaii, have been
added to the list of honorary pallbearers.
