Two Fine Apartment Houses in Chicago
Destroysd-Loss 03OO,OOO.
CHICAGO, Jan. 2O.-Two of the finest
apartment houses on the south side of
the city were destroyed by fire Sunday
evening. The buildings were owned
by Lincoln Brooks and located at the
southwest corner of Wabash avenue
and Thirty sixth street. The one on
tbs corner contained 40 apartments
and was unoccupied, being just about
completed. The building next door
and just south on the avenue was filled
with tenants and contained over 30
apartments
Both buildings are total loss, which
will reach $500, 200.
The fire started in the corner build.
ing, on the fifth floor, through the
falling of one of II salamanders which
were being used to dry plastering.
Before assistance could be called the
fire got beyond all control.
Only little furniture was saved
from the wreck. The excitement in
the second building which burned
grew almost into panic, and rumors
we're started that many people had
been burned to death. Several people
were injured by fire and stray bricks
from falling walls, but no one was IA
tally hurt.
To add to the excitement the horses
attached to hook and ladder truck
ran away and dashed into crowded
street, rolling many people over into
the water covered streets and bruisinR
several severely.

NEW YORK, Jan. $40 Marzen.
Erazo, who arrived In New York Sat-
urday by the steamer Philadelphia
from Venezuela, whore he represents
the large commercial interests Of Flint
Eddy q Co., was interviewed Sunday.
Mr.. Marzen- Erazo stated that the re-.
ports published in the newspapers here
- to the war-like spirit and excite
ment in Venezuela were grossly exag.
gerated.
He had been travelling for the past
two months over q large portion Of
Venezuela, from Cuidad Bolivar to tho
capital and he was impressed every
where with the absence Of anything
like bravado, and the feeling prevail.
ing among venezuelans that the ques-
tions be settled without war.
Nobody in Venezuela seems to be-
lieve in war, and there is no inclina-
ton on the part Of the authorities or
on the part of the people to precipitate
IN issue. The country il prosperous,
and business is progressing in its usual
channels without any disturbance.
The people of Venezuela are entirely
satisfied with the prospect Of arbitra-
tion, and both in official and unofficial
circles there is q determination to
abide by it, whether to contrary or ia.
vorable to Venezuela, but they are al
tho same time determined that they
shall not be despoiled by force with.
out hearing.
Mr.. Marzen- Erazo, in conclusion,
said that nothing but positive aggres'
sion on the part of England could
bring about war.

CHICAGO, Jan. O.-Jacob Johansen,
q saloonkeeper at 1928 Cottage Grove

taken to Mercy hospital, where she
will be guarded until able to stand an
examination. Three men who were

evening, were also arrested.

At twenty, when man is young, he
thinks he knows it all; he likes to wag
his active tongue and exercise his gall;
he struts round in noble rage: the world
is all his own; he laughs to scorn the
world of age and lists to self alone.
He wears window in his eye to see
his whiskers grow; he thinks the ladies
pine and die because they love him 80.
At forty, as you may suppose, he's
knuckled down to biz; it's not till sixty
that he knows how big chump he is.
