WAS NO ROBBERY.
Landlord Thomas Says REPORT That
Fire in Preble Was Set by ThiefIs
Incorrect.

The other day the daily papers printed
q story to the effect that the fire In MIR.
Bowles's room at the Preble house, was
caused by a thief who had entered the
room by some means, tried to break open
a trunk and stole gold watsh and
chain. Tie story said that the evidence
went to show that the fire was caused by
q match which was carelessly dropped by
this thief while In this room. MIR. Thom-
as. proprietor Of the Preble. says that this
story is not true. No thief entered the
room and the fire was started by some
oily rags in a drawer. The rags were ap.
parently ignited by spontaneous combus-
tion and the fire was communicated to q
curtain which blew over the drawer. Mr..
Thomas says that the idea of thief be-
ing in the room is preposterous, as Mr..
Bowles's daughter occupied an adjoining
room with door communicating with
her fathers room, and that Miss Bowles
was in her room when the fire broke out
and heard no noise in her fathers room.
More than that the door of Mr.. Bowles's
room was locked and the transom CLOSED
and thief could not have entered the
room.

will not be the political issue of
the next campaign, for the reason
that both parties will have planks

have to regulate corporations to

REALIZES RESPONSIBILITY.

New York, July "a special
Washington dispatch to the Herald
says that president Mckinley is
acting as the head of the army and
is personally directing the cam
paign in the Philippines. When
the president was asked by friend
why he did not leave the details of
the war to his subordinates and
take much needed vacation. he
replied by quoting that part of the
constitution which says the presi-
dent shall be commander in chief
of the army and navy. He said:
How can | take to the woods
while there is so much to be done
toward raising and looking after
the army in the Philippines, and
faithfully carry out the obligations
imposed upon me by the constitu-
ton? 1t is my desire that the
army in the Philippines shall be
the best in the world, and that Gen.
Otis shall have everything that he
requires for the comfort of his
troops, and that there shall be
nothing lacking to bring this cam
paign to a speedy and successful
termination. | am not giving any
thought to the question of a vaca-
ton now, and will not until Gen.
Otis reinforcements are well under
way, and all arrangements have
been perfected for the return of
the volunteers"
