BE AHMONO BURNS TO DEATH IN HOME Missouri Congressman and Six- Year-Old Grandson Are Burned to Death at Butler, Mo., in An Early Morning Fire. KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.—The bodies of Congressman DeArmond and his grandson, Waddie, who were burned to death in their home early today were found in the ruins of the house this after noon. The bodies were lying side by side. Congressman DeArmond evidently had been carrying his grandson when death overtook him KANSAS CITY. Mo., Nov. 23.—Repre sentative David DeArmond, one of the oldest Democratic members ,of congress, and his grandson. Waddie, aged 6, were burned to death in a Are that destroyed the DeArmond home at Butler, Mo., early today The other members of the family es caped, and it is believed none was hurt. THOSE WHO ESCAPED. Other occupants of the house at the time of the fire and who escaped were Mrs. DeArmond. James A. DeArmond. aged 36. a son of the congressman, and a daughter, aged 35. Mrs Hattie Clarke believes that her father sacrificed his life in a heroic ef fort to save his grandson. She thinks that Congressman DeArmond was arous ed in time to save himself, but that in awakening the boy and attempting to car ry him from danger, he became con fused to the smoke, which was momen tarily growing denser, and was over come before he was able to find the way out. The fire started at about 4 o'clock In the morning. The DeArmond home was a large two-story frame structure, set back some distance from the street. On two sides of th® house outdoor sleeping apart ments had been constructed on a level with the second floor and at the time of the Are broke out. the occupants of the house were In these rooms. "GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Congressman DeArmond and his young 1 grandson occupied one room on the south I side of the building, while Mrs. DeArmond ' and Mrs. Clark were In separate rooms on the opposite side of the house. Nettie Boyles. 20 years old. a servant girl, had a room on the west end of the house. Mrs. Clark was awakened by a cry and. going to the door of her room, saw smoke issuing from the part of the house where Congressman DeArmond and Waddle slent. "Get me out of here,” she heard Waddie cry. “Never mind. son. I’ll save you.” Con gressman DeArmond answered. Those were the last words either of the victims uttered. A moment later the smoke increased in volume and Mrs. Clark fled down stairs to the telephone. With in a minus’s time she had given the alarm to the teleohone office and hurried back to the room of her mother. AWAKENS MRS. DE ARMOND. By this time the entire second floor was clouded with smoke and flames were leaping from the windows. ( Groping her way to Mrs. DeArmond's bedside she hur riedly awakened h 6 congressman's wife and literally dragged her from the room. The two had scarcely reached the ground when Mrs. DeArmond fainted and it was necessary to carry her from the scene to save her from the flames. Mrs Clark sustained a burned hand, but maintained her composure and helped to administer to her mother. The home of Congressman DeArmond was situated across the street from that of James A. DeArmond, one of his three sons. By the time Mrs. Clark and her mother had reached a safe place, neigh bors and the firemen were gathering. The flames by this time entirely en veloped the big house, shooting from ev ery window, and to have entered the building would have been extremely dan gerous. FRANTIC EFFORT TO RESCUEI James DeArmond. however, dashed for the front door, frantic in an effort to save his father and the boy. He had al ready been lost in a cloud of smoke be fore neighbors could get to him and pre vent his entering the house. For a few minutes there was a struggle, and finally he was dragged to the street. Fifteen minutes later nothing but ashes remained of the house. Nettie Bowles, the maid, it developed leter. had been one of the first to escape. She reached the street from the rear door after the first try of fire. She was un hurt but too frightened to comprehend the situation and had fled from the scene. The financial loss is placed at 120,000 and included one of the best libraries in the state. "WADDIE" A NAMESAKE. Congressman DeArmond had three sons and a daughter. James A. DeArmond is the only son in the west. He is editor of the Butler Democrat, and was adju tant general on the staff of Gov. Joseph W. Folk. 'Waddle'* DeArmond was a son of James DeArmond. His right name was David A. DeArmond. He was named af ter his grandfather and was the latter's favorite grandchild. The boy frequent ly remained at the home of his grand parents. always occupying a bed with the congressman. Congressman DeArmond's other sons ■ are Edward H.. who is an instructor at West Point, and Lieut. George W. De- Armond nok serving with the army in the Philippines. A brother of the decedent. William De- Armond, lives in Chicago. A second brother. J. H.. lives in Davenport, lowa. Mrs. Hattie Clark is the daughter, wife of Harvey Clark, and resides in Neva da. Mo. Mrs. DeArmond. wife of the congress man. who escaped in her night clothes unhurt, fainted as soon as she reached the ground. When revived later she became hysterical and it was some time before she could tell what had happened. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. In Mr. DeArmond the Democrats lose one of their leaders on the floor of the house. A member of that body for the past 19 years and a man of education, wide experience and fluent speech, he had become one of the principal resources of his party in all discussions of- national I questions. He made a specialty of labor subjects, but was never at a loss on handling almoet any question. Mr. DeArmond had been on the bench before coming to congress and he natural ly gave much attention to judicial sub jects, He was a member of the commit tee on judiciary at the time of his death and had held that post for many years. Previous to the present congress, he al so was a member of the committee on rules, but the selection of his colleague. Champ Clark, as minority leader, ren dered it necessary to place Mr. Clark on that committee, which had the effect of displacing Mr. DeArmond as two could not be appointed from the same state. While Mr. DeArmond will be long re membered for his brilliant oratory, espe | cially for his power of sarcasm and ca j parity for invective, he also will long t be known on account of his qualities as 1a party fighter.

Tl' '***•*•«./ I JUDGE DE ARMOND, A leading Democratic congressman, was burned to death at his home last night. pleaded subjects as an aggressor rather than as a defendant. This quality of mind was the means of getting him into a personal altercation two years ago with John Sharp Williams, who was then the Democratic leader of the house. The difference then arose over Mr. Williams' designation of a Missouri colleague of Mr. DeArmond's for a committee position in the organization of the 60th congress. They came to blows, but both being light weights, neither was badly hurt. Mr. DeArmond was an aspirant for the leadership of the house, but the recogni tion of Mr. Clark effectually cut him out of that position. WAS ELECTED IN 1891. Judge DeArmond was first elected to the house of representatives from the Sixth congressional district of Missouri in 1891. and served continuously. He was one of the best known members of the lower house at Washington, and had oc cupied other positions of prominence in liis state. In addition to his political prominence he was a well known lawyer. He was born March 18, 1844, in Blair county, Pa. His early life was spent on his father's farm, receiving his education in the common schools and at Williamsport Dickinson seminary. Tn his young manhood he practiced law in Butler. Mo., and in 1884 was named as presidential elector. He held succes sively the positions of state senator, cir cuit judge and Missouri supreme court commissioner. His entry into congress was to 1891. when he was made a repre sentative in the 52d congress, and was re elected to each succeeding congress, in cluding the 61st. HURLS BRICK IN WINDOW.

ORDER OF ZELAYA Edgar Harris, of Columbus, Ohio, Commercial Traveler, Reaches Panama and Tells of Conditions in Nicaragua. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 24.-The Picayune's cable from Panama says: Edgar C. Harris, of Columbus, Ohio, an American commercial traveler, who has been touring Central America in the interest of an American exporting firm, arrived here yesterday from Corlnto, Ni caragua. According to Harris' statement, a num ber of Americans are in jail at Managua and other places in Nicaragua, having been arrested on orders from Zelaya. Every American business tnan in Nica ragua who refused to contribute to war fund levied by Zelaya was promptly ar rested and thrown into prison. A few of the Americans who were ar rested bought their way out of jail by pay ing the price demanded, but a number are still held incommunicado. Harris says it is unsafe for an Amer ican to appear in the section of Nicara gua controlled by Zelaya. He was him self subjected to jibes and insults at Corinto, and left the place on the first available steamer. Rear Admirals Gloomy Over Nicaragua Affair WASHINGTON. Nov. 24—There is gloom among the rear admirals of the navy. Now comes along the first inter national rumpus in which tlie United States has figured in years and it is with Nicaragua, a countrv entirely too weak to permit them to fight with dignity and self-respect. Probably the nearest a rear admiral will get to “the scene of activity” in event there should be one, will be Washington. A lot of them are here now. Officers of the rank of commander would be in command of the little ships that would be employed against Nicaragua. Costa Rica Authorities Helping Revolutionists PORT CORTEZ. Spanish Honduras, Nov. 19, via New Orleans, Nov. 24. Telegraphic advices received here today from Managua are to the effect that it is the belief in Nicaragua that the govern ment authorities in Port Limon, Costa Rica, and former President Tafael Igle sias and his following had aided the Nic araguan revolutionists. This information came from a high official *of Nicaragua, who said that his aid had been stopped through the petitions of the charge d’affaires of Nicaragua at the Costa Ri can capital, backed by Ricardo Jiminez, Costa Rican presidential nominee and his party. According to the statement from Man agua, the protest was filed after the de feat of the rebel General Elimiana Cham orro at La Colorado, which preceded the occupation of Greytown. On the rep resentations of the Nicaraguan charge, the Port Limon commandant ordered the reconcentratlop in San Jose of 43 soldiers from General Chamorro's army, who had escaped after the defeat and were being held at Colorado Bar, in Costa Rican ter ritory. Before the prisoners could be sent to San Jose, however. General Chamorro ar rived with his men at Colorado Bar. He overpowered the guards and compelled them to embark along with the 43 priso ners for Blueflelds. The recapture of the reconcentrated men was an easy one because the guard consisted of only 13 men. Washington Waits for Detailed Information WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—The Nicara guan situation today stood exactly where it was last Sunday night, when Secretary Knox stated that the department was waiting tor detailed information from Managua before taking any further steps. The vice consul at that capital. Mr. Caldera, is presumably working on the case, but so far nothing has been heard from him. The department appreciates the tact that the vice consul is laboring at gjeat disadvantage and believes it to be more than likely that every obstacle in the way of obtaining exact information of the circumstances connected with the ar rest and the execution of the two Ameri cans is being put in his way. Th» de partment is especially anxious to obtain full information as to the status of the Americans when arrested, particularly as to whether or not they were co-operating with the revolutionist army. A dispatch to the navy department to day announced the departure of the Ta coma from Cristobal for Port Limon, Costa Rica. The Marietta is on her way from Guantanamo to Port Limon. It is said by the naval authorities that these vessels are going to Costa Rica for pur poses of surveying. A Health Guard Is a great blessing in a sickly season, especially when such diseases as the grip, pneumonia, and dypththeria. which are so serious in themselves or their effects, are goins the rounds. Hood's Sarsaparilla and Pills are the best health guards, keeping up the purity and abundance of the blood, the vigor and tone of all the organs and functions. They are often the stitch in time that saves nine. Take them for protection and begin taking them now. Louisa Thrall, Francis, says: “We find Hood’s Sarsaparilla excellent for toning up the system. It keeps us well and strong." Accept no substitutes for Hood’s Sar saparilla and Pills, for no substitutes act like them. TURKEYS IN CHICAGO BRING EXORBITANT PRICE CHICAGO. Nov. 24.—The price of Thanksgiving day turkey in Chicago has again been advanced. In 1907 it could be bought for 25 cents a pound. In 1908 it climbed a little higher, selling at 26 and 27c. This year it will cost from 28 to 30 cents a pound. Ten years ago a Chicago department store advertised the’follow ing bill of fare for 11.95: Nine-pound turkey. Enough plum pudding for four. Mince meat enough for three pies. Bunch of celery. Turkey seasoning. Pound of parsley. Quart of cranberries. Pound of mixed nuts. Three pounds sweet potatoes. The same bill of fare this year will cost $4.25. Vegetables are much cheaper than they have been in past years. This year cranberries can be had for $7 a bar rel. Last year people who wanted a bar rel of them had to pay sl2. DYNAMITING OF TOWN MYSTERY FOR POLICE GLASGOW, Ky., Nov. 23.—A court of inquiry has been in session for several days at Tompkinsville, in Monroe county for the purpose of finding out who dyna mited that town on election night. Two hundred witnesses were examinated, but all efforts failed to secure sufficient evi dence to convict any one. It was learned here today that more than 20 buildings on the public square had been damaged and the loss is a heavy one. The dynamiting is believed to have been done by persons in the town prompted by imaginary grudges growing out of the election. MODN WILL VANISH ON FRIDAY NIGBI Total Eclipse Will Begin at 1 o’Clock and Last Over Two Hours —Will Be an Interesting Spectacle. The moon entering the penumbra of the earth’s shadow. Announcement is made by the gentle men who keep cases on the movemen s of the heavenly bodies and Atlanta s weather that there will be something do ing among the celestial worlds n “wee sma’ hours” of Friday night, o rather Saturday morning. . Beginning at 1:11 a. m.. according to the officials of the United States weathei bureau, there will be an occultation whatever that is-of the moon by the shadow of the earth. Investigation of the meaning of tms startling news developed the fact tha there will be an eclipse of the moon Fri day night, beginning at 1:11 a. na. and lasting until 4:38 o'clock. At 2:18 tne moon will be totally obscured, and she will remain absolutely dark until 3:33. People who sit up in Atlanta until the hour mentioned, and who are otherwise in a condition to do so, wi’l have an ex cellent view of the “occultation," which will be very nice for them and absolutely Inoffensive to the moon. The scientific reason for the eclipse is that the earth, moon and sun will be di rectly In line, with the earth between the other two bodies. When our earth is 93,000,000 miles from the sun, its shadow pokes out on the other side like a fishing rod for a trifle of 857,300 miles. As every body who moves in good society knows, the moon is a mere stone’s throw, a measly 230.000 miles away from us. It will be at once apparent that when the moon strolls casually through the shadow of the earth it will cease to shine, and go out after the manner df a candle. Just like'rthat. It may not be amiss at this point to call attention to the fact that—popular impression to the contrary the moon shines with a reflected radiance, as do lesser luminaries in other walks of life, and does not give out beams like an arc light. Astronomers make great preparations to study such an eclipse, because it is only during the few moments of totality that the pale corona which surrounds the sun can be seen. Formerly the red flames known as solar prominences could be seen only during a total eclipse, but the spectroscope now affords excellent op portunities for observing them. Lunar eclipses are of some astronomical impor tance, since they have helped us to fix certain dates of events in ancient history. The date of the Christian era is determin ed by referring to an eclipse of the moon which Occurred the night before Herod dUd. Another interesting use of a lunar eclipse is t> e opportunity afforded the possessor of a telescope to study the moon's sur fae» during the rapid changes produced by tlie sudden reduction of light. Certain lunar craters, such as the small crater Linne, are surrounded by a grayish or white halo which is conspicuous at sun rise. but which becomes very small or vanishes entirely during the middle of the lunar day. There is evidence that the halo of Linne suddenly became larger during a total eclipse of the moon to re cent years. The atmosphere surrounding the earth deflects the sun's light, and thus causes the moon at the* time of a total eclipse to bp faintly illuminated by a copper-colored light. The amount of illumination de pends upon the condition of the earth's atmosphere at the points through which the sun’s rays are deflected. If clouds are present, the atmosphere Is more or less opaque, and therefore cuts off the light which would otherwise make the disk of the moon visible. In the eclipse of 1886 such an event occurred, the moon becoming entirely Invisible to the naked eye. ’ TENNESSEE GOVERNOR TURNS OUT PRISONERS NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 23.—“1 have just turned out 12 prisoners I found in the Memphis work house.” said Gov. ernor Malcolm R. Patterson, yesterday, “and I am going next to.the work houses in Nashville and Davidson county. Con ditions in some of these detention sta tions are worse than people who never visit them can realize. It is inhuman to keep some of these prisoners in confine ment any longer in their misery.” Seven of these are negroes—one only 10 years old. One has consumption in its last stages. Three are paralyzed. All are diseased and disabled, and one, whose right arm is completely paralyzed, was tnere for the crime of sleeping in a box car. The governor went into the place and saw for himself the conditions. Im mediately upon his return to Nashville he issued the pardon orders. SUFFRAGETTES TO OPEN STATE HEADQUARTERS NEW YORK, Nov. 24.—Mrs. O. H. P.

NEARLY W TN BUILDING- The tenement, which was intended for the use of only 4 families was really oc cupied by 8 families and most of these had numerous boarders. The police said there were nearly 100 persons crowded in the structure and asleep when the fire broke out. All of them were Italians. Instead of sending in a fire alarm, the first occupants to be aroused by the flames began firing revolvers from the windows and this added to the panic. Starting in the cellar, the fire choked ! the narrow stairways and before the fire men arrived a dozen persons had either leaped from the windows or had jumped to a one-story extension in the rear. A woman who leaped from a second story window is believed to have sustain ed fatal injuries. Most of the others who jumped were also injured. WOMAN S HEROISM FATAL.

Mrs. Rose Caravilla was carried down from her second floor apartment and upon reach ing the street, she broke away from the firemen and dashed back into the smoke and flame filled building to rescue her two small children. She was not seen, alive again, but later her body and tho«« of her children were found. Police reserves from several stations were called to quell the panic which had spread to neighboring tenements in this foreign section of the city and much trouble was experienced. Ten of the injured were taken to hos pitals where it was said several may die. The police did not discover the cause of the fire. One of the exciting incidents occurred when Mrs. Rose Monteforte, 21 years, ap peared at a third foor window with her one-year baby in her arms. She remain ed there calling for help until the window showed red with flames, when she threw the child to the crowd below and then jumped from the window.
