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. BTATIB 19 BBACTIFl'I. 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 Japanese Comal la Ian Franclacu Con Arm a Report of Attnek I'poa Restaurant. TOKIO, May 26. A report from the con sul for Japan In San Francisco confirms the news of 'attacks made recently upon ' JP"" restaurant keepers In that city The public here Is Indignant, but the press refrains from any hostile comment, trust ing the Washington government to pre vent the repetition of similar occurrences. The disturbance occurred In a restaurant conducted by Japanese on Folsom street and was followed by an attack upon a Japanese bath house on the opposite side of the street. The trouble arose over tho expulsion of two white men fnom a Japa nese restaurant on Eighth street. They were followed by a mob when they went around to the place on Folsom street, which .wrecked both places, the men them selves eac.nlnir thaVtlph n laav antnnn city where disturbances prevailed owlnff to the strike of the car men.

I shall have the officers of the staff Investigate thoroughly and lay their reports before the governor."

BOTH. 5ID1S ACCEPT DISQUALIFIED MAN Jnror Who Objeeta to Death Penalty Except to Protect Society Again Anarchists is Paaaed. . 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 tellotte further on his willingness to In fli . . .. u --. . . . .. 1 . . . . v. 1 .

Both sides found a pay streak of quali fication In the second section of the spe cial venire and beside Tourtellotte two Other talesmen qualified. They are Flnley McBean, whose examination was In pro gress at adjournment last night, and E. F. Crow, a retired farmer who now lends a little money for a living. Mr. Crow was almost Immediately challenged by the de fense, but his appearance, however brief, lifted the case and challenge forward. The 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.
