IN FIVE-CENT SHOW
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Fire which de
stroyed the machine supply company
of E. C. Atkina & Co., on North Main
street, causing a loss of $350,000
created a panic In the Palace theatre,
u live-rent show, and llrauna Hotel,
adjoining buildings on each side and
only by the action of tile police and
firemen was loss of life prevented.
Two sick persons were carried on',
of lhe hotel by Bremen and several
made their exits on the (ire escapes.
At the Palace when the cry of lire
was raised, those Inside stampeded
and had the mob not been held back
by the police many might have lost
their lives. As It was several were
bruised in the wild scramble.
The (Ire started al tl n'rlork this
morning and hud a good headway bu

was completely destroyed, the loss
on stock being $200,000 and on the

Mr. Norton said today:
"I will make no legal move of any
sort In behalf of Mrs Hains until af

toward llryejl in New York s' ile an I
the reports diving Mils Intorniallon to
I’halrioan Mack Indicated t'-nl the
state could ho carried if Mr Ilryun
would make a swing through the

Political conditions In the middle
west were Bikin up and Senator Cul
berson, chairman of the advisory com
mlttee, who li;ih been spending the
summer In Maryland, Informed Mr.
Bryan and the committeemen that
West Virginia and Maryland would
In all probability bo found In the dem
ocratic ranks. II was Ihe opinions
of those Inking active part In the com
mittee's deliberations that tha most
effective campaign for Mr. Bryan to
make would be to deliver speeches
In all the middle west states, spi ek
ing only In Ihe principal centers and
then to carry the tig-lit to West Vir
ginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Je*
spy and New York state. Much of
the 11/nc, II was suegei-ted, Mr Hrv
an would spend on these trips In
conference with the Na'lonal commit
teemen and state leaders and In this
a give valuable aid and direction
In Ihe various state campaigns. As
ter a consideration of these tentative*
suggestions for the campaign and an
approval of ihe reports made hy the
heads of the bureau, it v-iis decided
to call a meeting of the f ill national
committee, wllh the various sub-coin
nilttecs September K, at M- o'clock in
this city.
Mr. Bryan told the committeeman
that he was delighted with tin- pro
gress that he had observed and that
while he had only a few suggestions
to make, he felt that the work roil'd
not have been carried out more of
fleh ntly and thoroughly, lie express
id himself as pleased wllh the pros
pect for di uiocratlc success in No
vember.
It was learned tonight ihat the vis
it of Mr Bryan to New York was
arranged for not only within tho full
acqu|eHcene of those now in tho di
rection ot the democratic parly in
Ural stir , Inn lo no s-nall d'-vice to
their desire to have Mr Bryan take
mi active part In ihe Ni w Y< rk stale I
campaign. Chairman Mack said to
night:
"We 'allied today on various stib
Jerts and heard reports from the dlf :
ierent bureaus which were very fav-1
oriiulc Mr, Bryan said tbi could
