WASHINGTON. April lS.-Senator Clarke
of Wyoming today reported to the aenate
the bill drafted by Senator Knox and ap
proved by the Judiciary committee to regu
late Interstate shipments of Intoxicating
tlijuors. . The bill Is simple In form and
deals with only three of the questions that
neve been reined In connection with the
subject. It provides that shipments of In
toxicating liquors from one state or terri
tory or from a foreign country to another
state or country must be delivered to the
person to whom they were consigned 'or
upon the written order of the bona tide
consignee. Failure to comply with this pro
vision or the delivery of the shipments to
any fictitious persons or any person under
a fictitious nam would subject the guilty
officer, agent or employe of any railroad
or express company or any other common
carrier to a fine of r ot more than $5,000.
The second section of the bill provides
against tho agent of the common carrier
acting aa th agent for the buyer or seller
of Intoxicating liquors and the third sec
tion requires that packages ot liquor shall
be SO labelled on the outside cover aa to
plainly show the nature of Its contents
and the quantity contained therein. The
latter two provlslors are subject to the
tame penalties aa the first. In the casj
of liquors shipped from a foreign country
the provisions tt the act are net to take
effect until sixty days after Its passsgo.

BRITISH CABINET ANNOUNCED
David Lloyd George ii Appointed
Chancellor of Exchequer.
RAPED RISE CAUSES COMMENT
He la Now Depaty Leader la
House of Commons anil Pros
peetlv Heir to Pre
mtershlp.
LONDON, April l!.-Offlclal announce
ment was made last night of the new cabi
net appointments. They are Identical with
the forecast made by the Daily Chronicle a
few day ago and announced In these dis
patches aa follows:
Herbert H. Asqulth, prim minister and
first lord of the treasury.
Dnvld Lloyd George, chancellor of th
exechequer.
Lord Tweedmouth, president of th coun
cil. Earl of Crewe, secretary of stats for th
colonies.
Reginald McKenna, first lord of the Ad-
mlrallty.
Winston Spencer Churchill; president of
the board of trade.
Welter Runclmsn, president of the board
of education.
John Morley, secretary of state for India
and Blr Henry Fowler, chancellor of th
duchy of Lancaster retain their present
offices.
Colonel Jecley has been appointed under
secretary for th colonies; Lord Lucas,
parliamentary secretary ot the war offloe;
F. D. Acland, financial secretary, war
office, and Thomas It. Buchanan parlia
mentary secretary, India office.
No Appeal to Coaatry,
Having been fully anticipated In well In
formed political quarters the few change
which Mr. Asqulth mad in the old Ctmp-bell-Bannerman
cabinet caused no surprise.
There has been some speculation as to
whether the new premier would think It
well to dissolve Parliament and he would
have been fully justified In assuming the
government under somewhat unusual cir
cumstances, in taking th course of appeal
ing to the country for a new mandate.
He has, however, evidently decided other
wise. His aim In composing the cabinet seem
ingly has bcon to avoid aa far aa possible
any bye-election In constituencies where
the faith in liberalism Is wavering. Th
changes as announced will only necessi
tate four bye-elections, of which three,
heretofore held respectively by John' Mor
ley, Walter Runclman and Sir Henry
Fowler, may be considered quite safe.
Winston Spencer ChurchUTa re-election In
Manchester, however. It considered de
cidedly doubtftl. Until won by Mr,
Churchill, after one of the most notable
contests thirty months ago, this teat had
been for a decade a conservative strong
hold. Mr. Churchill will throw himself
Into the struggle with all his well known
tenacity, but his opponents have antici
pated and prepared for the struggle for
two years past and he will have th
hardest possible task to hold his seat.
Advance of David Mora George.
Now that It Is officially confirmed, per
haps the most striking feature In the
new cabinet la the leap of David Lloyd
George to the front rank in political life.
A seoemd minister In rank he becomes th
deputy leader of the House of Commons
and the prospective heir to th premier
ship, should any unforeseen accident leave
that office vacant.
It Is interesting to note that before giv
ing tho chancellorship to- Lloyd George,
Mr. Asqulth offered It to Mr. Morley. Mr.
McKenna, the admiralty chief, la credited
with being an advocate of economy In the
navy.
Bom further minor appointments out
side th cabinet will be announced after
th king's return to London.
Th condition of Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman Is reported by his physician
as being unchanged.
Pre Comment Favorable.-
The newspapers receive the new cabinet
with great favor. The change are less
than expected, the net results aa far as ac
tual office are concerned being that Bif
Henry Campbell-Bannerman and the carl
of Elgin are dropped and Messrs Churchill
and Runclman have entered. But the new
blood and the regrouping of portfolios ar
considered to have greatly strengthened
the government.
While Mr. Asqulth seems to have man
aged to make the necessary change In th
cabinet without offending hi own party,
the substitution of th earl of Crew for
th earl of Elgin la admitted, even by th
conservative press as - admirable, tnd
David Lloyd George'' promotion it univer
sally approved as having been Inevitable.
Th only appointment provoking .criti
cism, even among the liberals, la that of
Reginald McKenna to the Admiralty Which
) supposed to hsve baen a great success
as president with th premier. He ha been
a -great auocsss a president of th Board
or Education, and a fluent speaker. HI
."little navy" proviso s . regarded with
suspicion.
Colonel Seeley, the new under secretary
for th colonies,' has had a parallel career
with, hit predecessor,. Winston Spencer
Churchill.' They both withdrew from the
conservative party about the same time
and ar ploae friends. , Mr.' Runclman, curi
ously enouth. when h entered parllsment
in 1F94, defeated Mr. Churchill at Oldham.
He has risen rapidly Vnd It regarded at a
promising Statesman.

Mending Gnard.
BOSTON, Mass., April IS. Although more
than 10.000 people were made homeless, and
hundreds of buildings were destroyed In the
fir which yesterday wiped out a third of
the neighboring city of Chelsea, a careful
estimate by the insurance adjusters today
places the property loss at approximately
16.000,000, on which ther wa insurance to
the amount of IJ.WO.onO.
The work early today took on a substan
tial form and by noon the situation waa
held In hand. There waa clothing In abund
ance, temporary shelter had been provided
for the homeless, and so bountiful wat the
tupply of food brought in that no on went
hungry.
Careful Inquiry among the police, mili
tary and health authorities today failed
to dliclose that more than three persons
lost their lives In the fire. None of the
bodies had been Identified today, nor had
any one called at th morgue to view them.
At the hospital today there were only
two patients whose condition was critical.
On man was burned severely, whll
another was critically ill with pneumonia,
his condition having been aggravated by
his removal from his burning home.
Chairman McCllntock of the local relief
committee requested tbe Associated Press
to make the following announcement:
The local committee has decided to ask
that all funds to be sent for the j-elief of
Chelsea to go to the treasurer of the gen
eral committee appointed by the governor
at the state house this morning, Le Hig
glnson & Co."
Three Known to Be Dead.
Early today only thraa persons were
known to hav lost their lives In the fire,
but It wa feared that the number would
be Increased when a search of the rulnt
was made. Over half a hundred people
were Injured and many were taken to the
hospitals suffering severely, but this morn
ing all the Injured one were reported to
b doing well, although several still re
mained on th dangerous list.
Starting near th corner of Cypres and
Third streets, from a publlo dumping
ground, the bias spread before a north
east gale straight across the city to the
southeast, spreading out a It advanced
until Its northerly boundary reached th
eastern division of th Boston A Main
railroad. Thence It extended to the Junc
tion of the railroad with th tracks of the
Boston A Albany railroad, over which It
leaped, and then wept on until checked
by a small creek. On th other side It
crept along Second street until Broadway
wa reached and then went along Essex
tnd Middlesex streets to the waterfront at
Chelsea creek and then leaped Into East
Boston. Th distance from the point where
the fire started to the creek It a mile and
a half and th greatest width of the fire
1 about half a mile.
Water Doe Not Stay names.
Even at tBe creek the fire was not
wholly stayed, for sparks blown across tet
fir to several houses and to the plant of
th Standard OH company. Th oil plant
wat still burning at daybreak and Was
practically destroyed. Nine buildings were
burned here, including the pump house,
store house, cooper shop, office and tank
rooms, the latter containing about- 3.000
barrels of oil, The loss on the Standard
Oil property was estimated at tlOO.OCO.
Concerted efforts toward providing re
lief for the thousands of sufferers were
fslrly started today. Acting Governor
Draper Issued a call for an early morning
meeting of prominent Boston business men
at th state house to make plan for rais
ing funds for the temporary care of th
homeless and at about the same hour the
cltltena' relief commute also held a meet
ing. In the city of Bomervllle Mayor Grim
mons Issued a call for a mass meeting to
consider meana of giving aid to the fir
sufferers. Similar action wa taken by the
executive heads of other oltles. It was
said that the legislature would also be
asked during the day to tak measures for
the relief of.th stricken city.
Charitable organisations found places for
many of th sufferers, school houset and
other publlo buildings in Boston and other
placet near the ttrtcken city were thrown
open to provide temporary lodging, .and
hundred! of military tentt Drought from th
tat camp ground at South Farmlngham
served at a protection for victlme of the
fire. Acting Governor Draper, early last
evening, authorised th city of Chelsea to
provide provisions tor emergency us up
to any reasonable amount at the expense
of th state, and dairy and bakery campan
les generously contributed large supplies of
their product which found their way
promptly to the sufferers.
Homeless Wander Streets.
But notwithstanding the efforts on all
tidet to render aid, ther were thousands
of homeless ones who passed the night
wandering the streets, or shivered In the
parks and squares. Many of th unfort
unate applied at police headquarters for
shelter and were cared for temporalrly in
th court house. Early this morning, how
ever, tents had been pitched in open lot
In Chelsea and the neighboring city of
Everett tnd all applicants were sent to
these temporary camps.
Although It was Impossible to tell even
approximately the number of people made
hotnelest by the fire, conservative estimates
placed It at about 10,0u0, this number rep
resenting perhaps 2,000 families.
While prompt measure for carrying for
th homeless were being taken, scores of
physicians, nurses, and .volunteer, workers
Were attending to the Injured. The Chelsea
police Station waa turned Into a temporary
hospital, and. many sufferers were brought
there and treated temporarily. Later they
ere-sent to In - navy hospital and the
Marin hospital both of which were packed
to th limit of their capacity,, from this
court and from tb Influx ot patient from
the two ether hospitals which were burned.
Uurirr the afternoor. f.ni evening over
fifty unidentified - bablet, who had , been
picked up by the police, firemen and clti
tent, were tsken ' to the police stations.
They rsnged in age from S to 5 year. A
boy brought in A baby tost than month
old that he had picked up in th gutter.
A woman brought a pair of boy twlnt, not
more than year old. She said that a
frantic mother had thruat the babies into
he rx arms as she stood on th ttreet, lay
ing, "Here, hold these. I've got to get the
Others." What became of the mothsr had
not been ascertained at an early hour to
day. Some of the derelict, infants were
taken 'away during the night by relatives,
but others remained still unclaimed today.
Among the women taken to the hospitals
fh ambulances were two who became moth
ers after the fir started.

Every day after congress adjourns grill
be used by Represet tatlve Ellis of Kansas
City, F. D. Wead of Omaha, J. L. Kennedy
of Bioux City, Li M. Jones of Kansas
City and other officers of the Missouri
River Navigation congress to prepare a
showing tnd gather data with which to
move on congress next year to secure ap
propriations which will cenvert the Mis
souri . river Into a stable, reliable water
way. The plan is outlined by the enthusiastic
Missouri . congressman In a letter to F.
D. Wead, in which he proposes that the
movement be started at once, funds se
cured and every business Interest in Mis
souri river cities urged to co-operate lri
the great work. Similar letters have been
written to the vice presidents In all the
states represented at the Missouri River
Navigation congress last winter.
' Congressman Ellis says:
It 1 thai legitimate sphere of the navi
gation congress to procure this data and
prepare a showing of the propriety and
possibility of using the Missouri river and
present tho arguments to the house rivers
and harbors committee. The practicability
from an engineering standpoint of so con
verting the river Is no longer open to ques
tion. The only matter open to debate it
whether the expenditure of the money
which will be required to Improve the river
as contemplated will be justiried by the
amount of commerce for the river.. "Be
fore the committee will put Into a river
snd harbor bill tin authorisation for the
thorough Improvement of tho Missouri river
or any considerable stretch of It, tho com
mittee will have to b etjown that there Is
sn adequate commerce for the channel
when H shall have been perfected."
Plan Is to Get Members.
The plan Is to secure members of the
congress, the membership 'fee having been
fixed by the congress at II. Congressman
Ellis say all small towns will send scores
of dollars, larger towns hundreds and cities,
like Omaha and Kansas City thousands.
The congressman' has a definite plan for
using the money for tho march which he
proposes to lead on congress next year.
The entire summer will be used by Mr.
Ellis In traveling up and down the river
creating the Interest and getting the people
of tho Missouri valley back of the Missouri
River Nevlgatlon congress In the work. Ho
suggests that It Is possible to get other
river experts, who will probably give their
time, but should have their expenses paid,
to take hold of the work at once and get
In for an organization which congress will
not dare resist.
From all reports which are being received
by the officers of tho Missouri river con
gress the North and South Dakota are
doing more than the citizens of any other
state to lead' in the work. C. B. CleLand
of Pierre. S. D., and J. P. Baker of Bis
marck, N. D.. are tho busy ones In their
states, while F. E. Stranahan of Fort Ben
ton, Mont, Is organising a force In the big
northwestern state with which he hope
to wake up some congressmen.
F. P. Wead, vice president of the naviga
tion congress, said: "I will tako hold of
this work at once with Congressman Ellis,
I should hate to feel that' all the work we
have done so far should be forgotten. I
Intend to see the heads of the transporta

much they are going to do I will be in a

nent so completely fulfills, mv IdcaA, none
gives me such entire satisfaction i-
To those who know nothing about Hotel
St Regis by actual experleni-e. this may
seem exaggerated praise, but it l.Khorn
out by actual fact and It the sentiment
of thousands who hare wisely Chosen tht
matchless hostelry as their rnntrppoiitan
stopping place. V ",.!.'
The St. Regis occupies an .enylabl po
sition. It la the acknowledged lead -r
among the world greatest .hotel and
the one by which all others are compared.
It la beautiful, attractive and luxurious,
but above alt comfortable and tome-like.
In point of service, equipment and culn
It stands unrivsled. and yet the pereon
of moderate tastes and means may shave
Its hospitality and may drees and live u -cording
to Individual preferences , 1th t v
utmost complacency, for the St. lt-gls ii
the most democratic of hotels l.i evoy
particular.
In the matter of restaurant r.1 i i ,;n
charges ther Is alto moderation. T,i nn
