"All persons are hereby warned against

Wong is also alive to social happenings
among the Chinese 400, for he makes a
paragraph of the following, whish the
Record kindly gives us:
1T is reported that Mr.. Huh Han, our
popular Clark street merchant, will 90

Wong also has police reporter or acts

SET FIRE TO COVER THEFT
Burglars Robbed R. W. Smiths
House and Then Tried Arson.
Flames We're Extinguished, But the
Sleeping Family Was in Great
Danger-Got Away With S75.

One OF the most wanton and cowafdly of
crimes was committed at $50 O'Clock
in the most isolated section of Northeast
Washington, near lexington
Burglars entered the residence of Mr.
r. W. Smith, superintendent of the Eek
tngton and Soldiers Home Railway, No.
313 street northeast, and after steal
ing SIS in money from an upper room,
they started fire in one of the pantrys
on the lower floor, and attempted to burn
the house and cremate the inmates up
stairs, in order to cover up their crime.
Supt. Smiths brother in-law, who is en-
ployed by the railroad company, arose
about o O'Clock this morning, and a half
hour later started for the power house.
In leaving the house he neglected to lock
the rear door on the ground floor.
The burglars must have been in wait
ing, for few minutes after the broth er- in
law S departure they sneaked up to the door
and entered the house without attracting
the attention OF the inmates.
The thieves either wore rubber shoes, or
were in their stocking-fcet. They as
cended to the rear bedchamber, which was
unoccuped, and took S75 from a purse,
which was on the mantelpiece. Then they
assembled noiselessiy to the lower floor,
and gathered lot Of newspapers
These were saturated with kerosene, or
some other highly lnflammable liquid
1t is supposed. placed in the closet and a
match applied.
Mr.. Smith, and his children. who were
asleep up stairs, were finally awakened
by dense volumes Of suffocating smoke as
cending the stairways and filling the ur-
per rooms.
The husband sprang from his bed Dash
ing down stairs he found the closet and con-
tents enveloped in flames. and after a
brave fight managed to etinguish the
blaze, but not until about $50 worth of per-
sonal property had been destroyed, and the
interior Of the pantry burned.
Several detectives are working on the
case this afternoon. They believe the
thieves belong in the neighborhood and are
well acquainted with the Smith house and
the movements Of the family.

A comparison of the use OF gas, petroleum
and electricity in Germany, is given in
report receIved ut the Department of State
from Consul General Frank n. Mason,

He writes that when few years ago
electric lighting was shown to be a tech

of electricity increased. the consumption of
gas and petroleum for lighting purposes
would prcportionately diminish, ana the
ultimate ruin of gas interests, especially
