Captain Reynolds of the Central Police
District is investigating a fire, supposedly
of incendiary origin, which was discovered
at o'clock yesterday morning in the base
ment Of the two-story brick building at
515 South Fourth street. The first floor
and basement are occupied as a restaurant
by Albert st. Clair of No. 708 South Broad
way. John Steiner and family occupy the
second story.
st. Clair and Thomas Ferguson. who was
employed as a cook, were arrested on sus-
picion of setting fire to the building. Ed
ward Gsrmish discovered the fire and af-
ter arousing the occupants of the house,
sent in an alarm. After the blaze had
been extinguished the flremen discovered
a strong odor of coal oil In the basement
where the fire started. They notified the
police. who made the arrests.
st. Clair and Ferguson both deny knowl-
edge about the origin of the fire. They
were both in bed when the fire was dis
covered. Two years ago. when st. Clair

Locust streets. his place caught fire. He
was asleep above and was obliged to slide

noted in the clariLets and other wood

James Campbell Declares Force Of
Public Opinion Can Demand
Good Service.
C0MMENDS WELLS'S COURSE.
Cronin Said to Be No Worse Than
Others of the Combine. but
All Should BE Speedily
Dethroned.

James Campbell was asked Yesterday Il
, he thought Mayor Wells was doing every
| thing in his power to give st. Louis the
business administration promised by thu
Democratic party during the last cam
paign. He replied:
Il think that everything that man car
do to redeem the promises made to the pub
lie Is being done by Mayor Wels.'
DO you think the Mayor can succeed in
his undertaking without the aid and in face
of the hostility of the House of Delegates
Il think the Mayors manly. straightfor-
ward policy. which is dictated by his pledges
10 the public. will force the House of Dele
gates to assist him in carrying out all OF
his pledges for the upbuilding Of a new
ST. Louis
How can the House of Delegates be
made to recognize the duty OF its members
in this respect?
BY the force Of public opinion
How will you concentrate the necessary
force OF public opinion?"
lou remember the action OF the Commit
lee on Public Safety during the last admin
istration." said Mr.. Campbell. then paused
u space to give his words the fun force of
emphasis, and continued: THAT committee
carried conviction in a very determined
way. The public might take a notion to
very forc!bly express Its Indignation again."
do you regard the action of the House
OF Delegates on important public measures
as representative of the will of the Demo-
crtaic party. and as keeping faith with the
pledges of the party?"
Effect on the Party.
Il think that the organization in the
House of Delegates known az the combine
does not represent the Democratic party.
1t represents the combine only. II II rep
resented the Democratic party 1t would sec
ond the efforts of the Mayor. who does rep
resent the party.
DO you regard James H. Cronin as n
proper and competent man for Speaker of
the House of Delegates?'
Mr.. Cronin is probably as competent az
any man in the combine
DO you think tine retirement of Mr.. CrOn-
in as Speaker would benefit the public serv-
ice of the city,
Il know of nothing that would benefit the
pubic service SO much as the retirement
of every member of the combine
How can that be brought about?''
The people must bring ii about"
Can you suggest how?"
There is no solvent remedy, in my opin-
ion. at present. unless 1t would be the abo-
iition OF the House of Delegates. L, has al
ways had combine since II was organized
as 1t Is, and / am afraid 1t always will.
The public should emphaticaIly impress the
of the House with the necessity
Of doing their duty at once and guard
against repetition Of the present state OF
affairs when the next general city election
Is held"
