Fourth Ouster Suit,
This action fa the fourth time In
about six years that Texas has pena!-
Ixed oil companies. This Is the first
Instance In which any of the com-
panies sued has been permitted to
continue business In Texas. In 1907
the stale ousted Hie Waters Pierce Oil
company and penalized It $1,023,900;
and In 1909 It fined the Security Oil
company $7k.3r,0 and the Navarro He-
nning company $1,130, canceling the
charters of both. The present Mag-
nolia took over i lie refinery and busi-
ness of these companies, according
to the state.
For nearly a month the state took
testimony In the present suit In Texas
and had planned to negln In New York
on August IS a continuation of testi-
mony taking, which now will be
dropped. In the Texas testimony the
State rent ended that Messrs. Arch-
hold and P’olger and other Standard
Oil men who now own or had owned
Magnolia slock, wore no close to tho
Texas concern that Htandard OH In-
terests practically controlled It, tend-
ing lo ooralse oil prices In Texas and
lining n menace to continuance of com-
potttion In Texas. In reply the oil
companies submitted evidence which

The Magnolia Petroleum company
was organized In 18U out of the for-
mer Navarro Refining company and
Security OH company properties, re-
spectively at Corsicana and Beau-
mont. Texas When state courts dts
was issued to become effective August
16 and the senate postolfice committee
promptly requested Mr. Burleson to
appear before the committee at an
early date with an explanation of the
authority for his action.
Tills Was the first step in what
promises to be a bitter contest. When
the postmaster general has been
heard, the committee Is expected to
undertake to have withdrawn before
August 15 any authority he may claim
congress has given him to change
rates and sizes. It was contended In
committee that the proposed changes
would entail an enormous loss to the
government and some of the members
complained strenuously that the post-
office department had failed to furnish
congress with data concerning opera-
tion of the parcel post.
Some members of the congression-
al committee point to the creation of
a Joint commit tee to Inquire Into Tho
subject of a general parcel post not
only as evidence that congress Intend-
ed the rates should stand while the
committee was at work, but that con-
gress believed It only had the power
to change Hie rates and sizes of par-
cels. The changes ordered by the
pntsmaster general would affect only
the first or second zones oj territories
within a radius of 150 miles of the
point of mailing. The maximum weight
of parcels would be changed from 11
lo 2(1 pounds. The rate on parcels
weighing III excess oLfour ounces In-
tho first zone would bn reduced from
5 centB for tho first pound and 1 cent
for each additional pound or fraction
thereof, to R cents for the first pound
and 1 cents for each additional two
pounds or fraction thereof and the
rate In the second zone would be re-
duced from 6 cents for the first pound
and 3 cents for each additional pound,
to 5 cents for the flrat pound and 1
cent for each additional pound or frac-
tion thereof.

Senators Cummins and Burton were

parallel here of tie catastrophe is
Jeeaeaed only by the diminished height,
of the building and somber of dead.
The fire started by the careless throw-
ing down of a cigarette butt-
le the tragedy the deadly buret cf
Same quickly followed after the
alarm. There was little opportunity
to use ordinary or even emergency
means of escape. Fire driHs had been
tarried on regularly, so frequently in
fact that the employee had feund them
monotonous.
The building was equipped with fire
escapes and an automatic alarm sys-
tem. The alarm tinkled at 2:30
o'clock. Mrs. Reed B. Freeman, wife
of the proprietor, telephoned to the
central fire station. The usual appar-
atus for a first still alarm responded.
The first puff of fiarnea was hardly dis-
covered before the filfe leaped along
the staircases and walls, up the ele-
vator shaft, along the floors and ceil-
ing. There was a roar, front ar,d
rear, and the flames bellied forth
across Wall street, qn which the build-
ing fronted.
Flames Burst From Every Corner.
After this blast the fire seemed to
burst from every part of ;he outlding
at once. Upon the fire escapes girls,
women and men were clustered and <
inside others were waiting to get on
the iron ladders. But the flames were
too quick for them.
When the firemen arrived in re-
sponse to the telephone alarm they
were unable to get within twenty feet
of the burning building and the ends
of the streams from their hose were
turned into steam without effect upon
the fire.
Life nets and extension ladder* were
equally useless. There was no chance
for those on the upper floors, eicept.
the last resort to jump, and this
many took, while others fell, shrivel-
ed and crumpled with the heat.
Scarcely one of the survivors was
able to give a connected account of
what took place on the upper floors
of the faetory when the employes
there—mqstly women and girls, real-
ized that the lire call was no false
alarm and that death was sweeping
upon them.
The coolest among them -ecailcif
that women fainted by dozens and
that the scene was one of Indescrib-
able confusion. Some of the men em-
ployes apparently kept their heads
and worked heroically to rescue the
Imperilled women.
As soon as the firsj of the fire vic-
tims were brought to the hospital,
convalescents among the other piti-
enta set to work tearing bandages
physicians sawed boards for splints to
bind up broken limbs and Fathers
Ellis, Walsh and McLoughlin, to-
gether with Rev. Mr. Francis, came
to offer spiritual consolation to the
desperately injured.

Jackson, Miss.—Eighteen charred
bodies of convicts were recovered
from the ruins of the Oakley state
convict prison fire, in which a total
of thirty-five convicts, all negroes,
perished. The bodies were found
'huddled together In the corner farth-
est from where the fire started.
When the alarm was given all
means of escape for tho Imprisoned
men had been cut off by the flames,
but prisoners in another pen were
formed in a relief squad and worked
desperately to tight the tire. Tho
thirty- five prisoners had perished in
less than one hour.
The fire was caused by spontaneous
combustion among farm products un-
der a stairway. It was the burning
ot thiB stairway that prevented the
escape of the prisoners. A can of gas-
oline was also on the same floor with
the stores.
Twenty minutes before the fire was
discovered a watchman had made his
rounds and announced all well. Twen-
ty minutes later another watchman
discovered the entire building In
flames, the stairway aflame and the
prisoners trapped.
