PLOT TO BURN THE FAIR.

The Illinois Building at Jackson Park ! Partly Destroyed. :

CHICcAGO, Feb. 20.—Another of the too frequent world’s fair fires broke out Sunday afternoon in the east wing of the Illinois state building. It was undoubtedly of incendiary origin but prompt response on the part of the fire department prevented its doing damage to any great extent. The loss on the building is nominal, the structure having been sold to contractors for $1,650. Joseph Hallak, a fireman, fell 30 feet from the northwest corner of the building, but escaped with slight injaries. ok

No one could say definitely how the fire was started, but all of the officials of the fire department and the guard were satisfied that it was incendiary, and that it was part of an organized plan | to burn all the fair, buildings. Col. | Edmund Rice, commandant of | the Columbian A guard, said the incendiary business had. gone to far. “It isn’t a haphazard tramp | outbreak,” he said, ‘‘as some people seem to think. These fires are all i planned and carried out systematically. ! If we get an algrm from one part of | the ground we are almost sure to have | alarms from different places ai.a dis- l tance from . each ~other. "If T/ was ~ guessing, ‘though, I -should f say, it is- some man or men with a | malicious determination to destrQy | property just for the sake of destruc- } tion, just as thesei people throw bombs | for the sake of injuring somebody.” It | is the belief of many that the peristyle, | collonnade and Agricultural building ! were fired by maltious men. i FOUR KILLED IN THE FIGHT.

A CRIMINAL “WITH NERVE. His Bold Escape from Officers Only to Be Rearvrested. Buyrraro, N. Y., Feb. 20. —Leroy Harris, alias William H. Clark, was being arraigned in the United States court Saturday afternoon ona charge of forging postal department money orders when he suddenly drew a revolver and cried out: *“Hands up, gentlemen!” Two deputy United States marshals, Inspector Lawrence Letherman, of the postal department, United States Commissioner Fairchild and United States District Attorney Mackey were in the room. 'The three first named were armed, but all complied with the order of the prisoner and five pairs of hands were pointed heavenward. Harris stood near the door, which had been locked to exclude reporters, and kept the officials covered with the revolver in his right while he unlocked the door with his left. With a parting curse: and a command to remain in their submissive attitudes Harris jumped into the corridor and locked the door, leaving his captors prisoners. . Deputy Marshal Watts, one .of those whom Harris locked in theroom, threw up the window and fired five shots at the fleeing figure of Harris as he ran down Seneca street, but did not hit Harris or, luckily, anyone else. The door of the room was forced and the officials gave chase, but Harris escaped in the crowd on the streets. .

The police department was called upon for assistance and men were post~ ed in all parts of the city, and descriptions of Harris were sent to all surrounding towns. Capt. Stewart, inL ooE y spector of the post office department, kept a loockout at Niagara Kalls, Ont., and on the arrival of Harris there captured him without a struggle., and without waiting to secure extradition papers immediately boarded a train for Chicago. Itis probable that this may cause international complications. [The crimes for which Harris is wanted were committed in various parts of the country. On January 5 he went into a post office in Connecticut and told the postmaster ‘that he was a postal inspector. "After examining the Dbooks -he said he would like a "quantity of blank money orders: and advices. These were given to him and he departed. Soon he began his fine work with forged orders and advices from which he secured $3,0600. The offices at Decatur, -Aurora, Joliet, Bloomington, Peoria and La Salle, in Illinois, had paid out on forged orders $2OO each; T'ort Wayne, Ind., a like sum; Valparaiso, Ind.,, §100; and several other offices 200 each.] - MRS. LEASE A MASON. Says She Knows All Secrets and Will Initiate Other Women. T oPEEKA, Kan., Feb. 20.—Mrs. M. E. Lease announces that she is a mason in good standing, a Knight Templar and a member of Hugh de Payne commandery of Fort Scott. She wears in a conspicuous place a Knight Templar charm with the keystone and other insignia of the order and declares she is as much entitled to display it as any male member of the order. She has talked ‘with a number of masons to whom she has demonstratéd that che knows all the signs,.grips and passwords of the blue lodge and chapter, and she claims that she came into posession of them in a legitimate manner. Speaking of her membership in the order she said: . E

“If masonry is good for men it is better for women, as we are more in need of protection than men. Once by giving a sign of the order I was saved from personal violence, and from that moment I resolved to give to all deserving women the advantage of masonry that I enjoy. Ihave other plans for my future aside from politics' and the lecture field I propose to devote a large share of my, time to initating women into the secrets of masonry. As I am thoroughly informed in the details of masonic work to a high degree, it will not be necessary for me 1o obtain the permission of any masonic body before beginning work in this field, and if the men decline to recognize my converts to masonry we can act independently of them and time will force them to cooperate with us.” : - While Mrs. Lease admits it is contrary to the laws of masons to initiate women into its mysteries, she insists that she became a mason in a strictly legitimate way, but declines to give particulars of the manner in which she acquired the secrets of the order. Mrs. Lease challenges any mason to test her knowledge of the secret work of the order. The masons, of course, deny her claims and say that she is not a mason, and that if she has obtained the secrets of the order it was by undue means. : P
