Lost of Life it
Feared.
DLXUTH. Minn., Sept. t It wa a ntg'.tt
of urror on the range, and one of deep
anxiety In Duluth, but today condition ap
pear to have changed tor the better.
All yesterday afternoon and laat night
firea thrcatoned half a doten of the larger
town on the range. Hlbblng fought almost
persistent flrea from o'clock In th after
noon until late lait night. At 4 o'clock
Dujuth was asked for assistance and a
flra engine wn made ready for shipment
by a apeclal train. A telephone message
later held It la Duluth ready for ahlpment
at any time and stated that trto crisis ap
peared to bo past. More than 1,000 resi
dence of Hlbblng founht back the flame
all night long, stamping out brush fires
and welting down tha fields about the
town to keep the fire from spreading. This
morning the reports are that the town la
safe.
Similar experiences are reported from a
dose other range towna, but so far as Is
known there have been no others destroyed.
Povey had as hard a fight as Hlbblng and
tha residents of Coleralna, two miles away
had t go to their assistance. All business
was auepended. the schools closed and cl'l
rens after packing a few valuables ready
to flee at a moment's notice, fought the
fires all plglit.
At Aurora. Xashauk, Buhl, Krenahall and
several smaller towns and villages the
same story was reported.
Flrea Are Dylan; Oat.
This morning what reports have been
received from the busy flra fighters aro
more optimistic. The wind Is dying down
and tho flrts appear to be gradually burn
ing themrelves out Great vigilance la still
necessary, however.
The most dramatic Incidents of tha entire
fire promise to develop around Grand
Marals. The steamer Gopher, the United
States gunboat, carrying fifty members of
the naval militia, left laat night for Grand
Marala to rescue the ..settlers along the
north shore. Tha little village la entirely
shut off prom communication by means of
telephone or telegraph and It will be
twenty-four hours at least before anything
Is heard from them. .The passengers on tha
laat boat rfported that the flrea were' rush
ing ."toward. Ue" lake -and gradually hem
ming In tha inhabitants of the little village,
comi rising about 600 people, mostly rishur
men and Indians. There are. also many
settlers along the lake shore. If the flrea
swee right up to the lake shore the In
tense heat and the amoke might cause the
loss of many lives, although the people
could save themselves from actual crema
tion by taking refuge on. the beach.
The Gopher carried provisions and cloth
ing and will pick up any settlers who are
found to be homeless. The men will help
fight the fires at Grand Marals If the vil
lage la not already destroyed.
Belief Fnnd Growing;.
The puluth relief fund has now passed
, the Kr,009 mark and la rapidly growing. All
tha Immediate wants of the sufferers have
been cared for. The rargo railroads be
longing to the steel corporation are carry
ing all supplies free of charge and running
specials whenever needed. Tha corpora
tion and tts officers has also contributed
nearly 115.000 in cash toward the fund.
The range Is by no means out of danger
as yet.vAs stated above, the reporta this
morning are more favorable, but a change
of the wind or an Increase In Its velocity
might cause them to break forth with re
newed violence and every moment It Is
feared that a town will be reported ablase.
WARM DAYS HELP THE CORN

TOKIO, Friday, Aug. 7.-The Depart
ment of Finance haa at last decided to
supply the deficiency of capital of the
Farmera and Mechanics anks of tho ooun
try with 2,d00,(W yen (ll.KO.OOO) out of lis
deposits. With only three exoepllons tha
forty-two Farmers and Mechanics banks
of the country have availed themselves of
this loan In varying sums from 130.0CO yen
to 25,000 yen. Commenting on this matter,
the Chuo declarea that the loan of only
2,500.000 yen lr. place of 9,000,00 yen, which
was asked by the banks, will prove but a
"few drops of rain" on the parched con
ditions of the banks. The paper suggests
that the sum offered e used for the re
adjustment of arable lands, a course that
would result in a permanent annual in
crease in the production of rice.

WASHINGTON. Sept. .-In tho case of
the contempt proceedings against Samuel
Oompers, John Mitchell and Frank Morri
son of the American Federation of Labor,
In connection with . the .Buck Stovo and
Rare company, today Judge Gould de
cided to appoint an examiner to take testi
mony, and William Herbert 8mlth was
designated to perform that service.
Thirty days was given. to each side for
the purpose of taking testimony.
Irt their answers to the petition of the
Buck Stove arid Range company to hayt
Samuel Oompers, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison of the American Federation of
Labor punished for contempt on the charge
of violating the order of Justice Gould en
joining them from continuing the boycott
against the stove company by publishing
the name of that company In the "We
don't patronise list," which was filed to
day In the supreme court of the District
of Columbia, the three defendants named
asked that the Issues be tried, before A
jury and not by Justice Gould alone. Most
of the specifications of the petitlona relate
to publlcationa in the American Federa
tlonallst, the organ of federation, of which
Gompers . Is editor, and to published ad
dresses made by him, and his response is
of much greater length than those of
Messrs. Mitchell and Morrloon. both of
whom profess Ignorance as to the majority
of the utterances quoted.
For the most part Mr. Oompers admits
the correctness of the quotations from his
speeches. Interviews and editorials, but he
declares that none of them were Intended
to bo In contempt' of any decreo of the
court. Tho principal charge refers to
criticisms Of the Injunction which were
made by Mr. Gompers in an editorial pub
lished in the Federatlonlst in February.
1J04. ln'whloh ho characterlxed tho injunc
tion as an Invasion of the liberty of the
press and Of the right of free speech, and
further said It would be Impossible to com
ply with all Its terms.
New Isaac Rained by Coart.
Replying to thft charge Mr. Gompers, Mr.
Mitchell and Mr. Morrison united in saying.
In part:
Answering the seventeenth paragrnph of
tho petition this respondent says that the
editorial therein referred to Is only to be
understood properly by being read In Its
entirety, and the respondent, for the full
contents thereof, refers to the files of thla
court. He deniea that aatd editorial consti
tuted In any respect the contempt of court
or that It was In any degree dlsrespectlve
of tho action of the court. On the other
hand, ho says. It contained only such fair
and temperate criticism as he had a right
to Indulge in as a cltiien of the conduct
of one of the officers of the government
and that the order and decree were never
properly Intended to take away from htm
his rltfhta as an American cltisen, but orily
Intended to prevent the doing of aots styled
unlnwlul and pursuant to a . supposed un
lawful conspiracy to Irjure.- 'That there
ri.ver existed any conspiracy combination.
rr.mnt or understating which reaulted
In any degree In bringing about tho publica
tion of ssld editorial, dui inai mo pawing
of the decree raised a new Issue, ta-wlt,
whether the court had acted within or
without the limits prescribed by Justice in
this Issue, which was one only incidentally
relating to tho pending caae.
A request for a jury trial Is made.
MEN OF H00-H00 IN SESSION
Twenty-One Thonsand Members Pres
ent Under ftnles of Lumber
Men's Order.
CHICAGO. Sept. . The Concatenated
Order of Hoo Hoo, a fraternal and social
lodge of the National Lumber Dealers' as
sociation, began Its seventeenth annual con
vention here today with Impressive cere
monies. The date and the hour for the be
ginning of the three days' conclave were
chosen with an eye to mysticism, being the
ninth day' of the ninth month, at 9:09 a. m.
When the gavel fell 21,000 members of the
order wore recorded as being present,
though the number actually in attendance
was in the neighborhood of 1,500. The oth
ers were regarded as- present under the
rules of the order, which require every
member who cannot attend personally to
send a letter or telegram stating his where
abouts and his reasons for being absent.
Today's business session was short and
of a perfunctory nature. Upon adjourn
ment the delegates embarked aboard the
steamer "Theodore Roosevelt" for a pleae
ure trip to Michigan City and return. A
banquet, to begin also at 9:09, is scheduled
for the evening. The feature of the gath
ering will be the "embalming" on Friday
of Past Supreme Snark John S. Bonner of
Houston, Tex., who by virtue of the cere
mony will be given the degree of mummy
and will become a deified member of tho
ancient house. The election of officers will
also occur oa Friday. The Hoo Hoo organ,
lsation, with Its motto, "Health, Happiness
and Long Life," was founded by Boiling
Arthur Johnson of Chicago at Gurdon,
Ark., in U92. It has one fixed meeting a
year and is governed by the "supreme
nine," consisting of tho snark of the uni
verse and eight other officers. There are

(From a Staff. Correspondent.
LINCOLN. Sept. P.-(Speclal. Harking
back to when Mr. Bryan waa running for
congress In this district his talk to labor
ing men waa considerably different from
the talk he is putting up now. -October ii,
1W0, he held a joint debate with W. J. Con
nell, the republican nominee for congress.
In that debate Mr. Connell waa speaking
of the Interest the republican congress had
taken in the laborlnar man. Mr. Bryan be
came very indignant as the rpeaking pro
gressed and when It came his turn to talk
he exclaimed:
"I am tired of hearing about laws made
for tho benefit of the men who work In
shops!"
The statement la made both In The
Omaha Bee and the State journal at tho
time and both quote Mr. Bryan as above.
The Bee article said: .
It la conceded by all that Mr. Bryan
made the worst break of the campaign
when in rebuttal to Coniwrtl's 'showing of
what the republican congress had dnne for
laborers, Bryan said: "1 am tirexl of hear
ing about laws mad? for the benefit of men
who work in shops."
The State Journal's account ot the debate
said: .' ' . S , -

"For the last thirteen year my brother,
Charle E. Davis,' haa had breakdowns at
Intervals of from six to eight month,
tha last one taking him about ten days

a year ago last August."

night Dr. Rustin waa killed became known.
Mr. Davis was Interviewed in hla office
in the bank and and, while It was an ef
fort for him to apeak of his brother and
of hi unhapplneas, he said he was glad
to give what information he could.
Th statement by Fred H Davis Is also
that of Luther L Kounlso, second vice

that hi uncle, Charles E. Davis, has been
mentally irresponsible. ,
. Luther Kountze called at tho home of
Mrs. Fred Rustin yesterday afternoon
while'., representative of the pres were
present and. Joining In the conversation,
said : that hi uncle had boon ...acting,
strangely for tho last ten day.
"Wo first noticed him muttering to him
self In the bank and h was sent to tha
doctor for treatment," said Mr. Kountze,
"He haa been practically out of his mind
for over a week, as he has been at other
times. He haa been In several sanitariums,
at Council Bluffs and other places, and
I understand haa been violent at times."
Konntse Handled Thla.
Mr. Kountse said nothing at this time
about JJr. Rustin's money matters, but
when Fred Davla was asked if hi brother,
Charles, did not have the handling of the
Rustin accounts, Mr. Davla replied that
Luther Kountze had charge of them.
"Mr. Kountse, who la my nephew, told
me that Dr. Rustin went to him the Fri
day before he waa killed and asked for
money.
"'I can't do It, Fred,' Mr. Kountze re
plied. "You have wrung me dry and I
can't give you another cent.'
" 'Well, I suppose there Is nothing left
for me to do but kill myBelf,' tha doctor
then told Mr. Kountze, 'and the next time
you see me I will be dead.' "
Continuing, Fred Davis told of his
brother' periodical breakdowns and of his
advising him to go to Dr. Rustin over a
year ago for treatment. Prior to the pres
ent breakdown, the last one Charley Davis
had wa last October,- out of which Dr.
Rustin had brought him nicely, said Fred
Davis. When Fred Davis saw his brother
acting strangely ten day ago. muttering
to himself and not knowing what he was
doing some of the time, he sent him again
to Dr. Rustin for treatment. Fred Davla
waa then asked about Charley Davis' do
mestic affairs, but was somewhat reticent
on this soore.
"My brother has not been living with his
family for about six yeara, J think It is,"
he ald. "Their home life waa very un
happy and they separated. There has been
no divorce. We, that Is Charley, is sup
porting Mrs. Charlea Davis and heil daugh
ter. Ye, they traveled In Europe a hort
time and their daughter studied music In
Pafls for a year and a half.
"Mr. Davis came from Indianapolis, but
I know nothing about her people. I can't
remember her maiden name; all I ever
knew her by was Mrs. Lucia B. Davis."
Mr. Davis waa then called to the tele
phone, and when he returned he said he
believed his brother's wife's maiden name
waa Buchte r. The daughter, who Is 21
years of age, is named Eugenia.
Mother and Dnughter on Coast.
"Mrs. Davis and her daughter are in
California. They have be(-n there since
their return from Paris. No, I do not care
to tell you where in California they live
and I do not think you ought to ask me,
but then a newspaper man will ask any
question he has a mind to. I have written
her a long letta giving her the full par
ticular. No, I don't know whether they
will come to Omaha or not. I hardly think
they will. I don't understand that MIhh
Davis Is using her musical education In a
professional way. She does not need to
the family Is being supported.
"I think that Is all I care to tell you,
anyway. I think that Is all I know about
th matter."
Mr Rustin, when the representatives of
the press called at the home yesterday
afternoon, would see no one, her mother,
Mrs. How of Boston, stating that her
daughter had suffered a collapse elnee her
attendance at the hearing by the coroner's
