At the Dewey hotel flro Friday mornttiK
Mrs. C. E. Wilkin made a 'heroic ctfort
to save her Muter. Miss Alice Bonnivie.
Sho drasKtd and half ctfrrted her through
.tho flaming hall until the helpless woman
slipped from her crasp.
Mrs. Wllkins la at tho Omaha General
hospital, whore she Is extremely hysteri
cal, sitting up In bed tnllsjng wildly ot
tho Ore, calllnir for her sister, Alice, and'
constantly crouching with her trembling
ha mis under her chin.
"Alice, Alice, Is thnt you?" sho calls
loudly, when sho heam tho slightest
movement nt her door. In biql.on sen
tences she told her ''story nt tho hospital.
"Someone called fire," sho said, "and I
rushed out In tho hall, whero there was
lots of mnoko. I opened the window and
looltod out f caw some ladders and tomo
men. ftut tliey couldn't set the lnddcrs
to me. They called to mo and told me
not to Jump.1 that the fire companies
would bo thercsoon. .1 ran down the
hall and Alice and tho maid, I.ytla Nel
son, hum; onto me, Then 1 'heard my
ulster nay, 'I can't breathe any more,
I'm choking. I drew her face down
against my bath robo and dragged her
along that way for a while until she
slipped from me and fell on the floor,"
Tho timid and Mrs. Wllkins made their
way down tho stairs, and, with others,
were taken to the Omaha General hospi
tal. Mrs. Wllkins' husband Is a patient In
a sanitarium In Lincoln. 8he has a son,
a student In tho University ot Nebraska.
She is unable to tell his first name.
One unidentified woman, with sovcre
bums on her face and on tho hip, lies
unconscious at the Omaha General. Hhe
Is large, well built, with auburn hair nnd
bluo eyes. On her rlgHt wrist sho wears
a bracelet; on the hand a baud and a
set ring. Occasionally she speaks In
coherently confining her Ultorances to
tho words: "Leave mo atone, tcave ma
alone. I'll lie all right leave mo alono."
BARTENDER FALLS TO DEATH
BEFORE AID CAN REACH HIM
Just before Charles Cummlngs jumped
ta his death he leaned out ot his window
uml called for help. Hovcrul firemen an
swered him, catllji'g hack to stay whero
Jfie was and they would have a ladder up
to him pretty quickly. Ho replied that
ho would, then seemed to lose all con
trol of himself nnd fell headlong to the
pavement below. Several workers ran
6vcr to hell' him and he died a few min
utes afterward In tho Ohio restaurant,
the second door south of the alley.
EWING MAN TELLS OF HIS
.ESCAPE FROM THE HOTEL
Mirk llenumway of Kwlnc, Ncli., was
In room 43 nlono when the smoke aroused
him. "I daggered out Into the hallway,"
he said, "and searched for un exit. I
found a door I thought opened to a stair
way leading to a fire escape and exit
and I tried to open It. Tho door was
locked, and, nearly suffocated, I rushed
downstairs, then upstairs again, hardly
knowing what I was doing. I went back
Into my own room, broke the window and
was, helped down a ladder." Itemenway'u
hand wan seriously cut.
Where the Most
Lives Were Lost
The majority of the lives lost were
thoso who occupied tho Inside rooms of
tho hotel. Their chances for escape were
reduced to a minimum. Thoso who were
awakened by tho noise rushed to their
doors only to find the hallways filled
with smoke so dense and stlffllng that
they were turned wild In their efforts to
get out. Some rushed Into the very hoart
of danger and wero there asphyxiated.
Others died' in their rooms.

Pan J. lleffel. a solicitor for Lumlcre,

only hud GO cents to 'his name Thursday
when at 11 o'clock ho walked Into tho
office of the Dewey hotel nnd asked for a
to-ccnt room. He was told that only $1
rooms were left, and, not having the
price, went to South Omaha and spciU
the night. '
. "I never realised before that It was
sometimes a blessing not to havo lots of
money," ho said. "I undoubtedly owe my
llfo this morning to tho fact that I only
had 60 cents. I Insisted on a BOcent room
last night, but now I'm glad tho clerk
wouldn't let me have It."

creases tho bill to abolish 'the Water
board becomes more popular.

Leading democrats ot the house tonight

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The Webb
liquor bill, prohibiting tho shipment or
liquor Into "dry" states was repassed In
tho senate today over President Taft's
veto within two hours from the time the
president's message ot disapproval had
been laid before that body. A short
debato In wlilch the advocates of tho bill
voted down a motion to postpone action
until tomorrow and In which they re
affirmed their belief that the measure
Is constitutional, ended with the re-
passage of the bill by the largo majority
of 63 to 21.
tho Webb bill passed both houses of
congress and went to the president ten
days ago. His veto messago reached the
senate about 3 o'clock today, accompanied
by an opinion from Attorney General
Wlckcrsham. Basing his decision ;unon
the attorney general's finding, the presl-
dent expressed tho belief that the measure
clearly was unconstitutional because It
gave the states the right to Interfere with
Interstate commerce.
The senate took up the bill at once.
Attorney General Wlckcrsham's opinion
was not read and Senator Kern askel
that a final vote on the overriding of tho
veto bo delayed until tomorrow so sen
ators might havo tho opportunity to ex
amine the attorney general's arguments.
A motion mode by Mr. Kern to postpono
the vote until 12 o'clock tomorrow wa
defeated, 71 to 9.
Veto limed on Mistake.
senator McCumber deolared both the
president and the attornoy general had
misconstrued the grounds upon which
congress had passed the prohibition law.
He said It had not attempted to give the
states the right to Interfere with com
merco, but simply had declared liquor an
"outlaw" and had then prescribed, condi
tions under whlch.lt might enter Inter
state commorce. Senator Kenyon also
briefly urged passage of the bill, while
Senators Paynter And Percy supported
President Taft's veto.
Efforts will be made tomorrow to over
ride the veto In the house. Representative

up tho veto for the purpose of passing
