AFTER AUSTIN NEXT TRIED INCENDIARISM
MANDAMUS TO SECURE THE
WARRANTS.
Governor Dole and officials Have An
other Conference About the China
town Fire Commission Awards.

writ of mandamus to compel Audi
tor Austin to deliver the warrants for
the Court of Fire Claims awards is the
next possibility in the Circuit CO 4rt
The warrants ars all made out, but
they are he'd up by the Auditor, in ac-
cordanCe with decision reached by
the Executive Council to the effect that
they ought not TO be given out until
thIre is money to pay them. This morn
ing Governor Dole and officials inter-
ested had another conference
If Judge Gear should decide against
the power Of the Commissioners to
charge fees for the certificates, the hght
over them will not by any means be
settled, as even when a certificate is
secured it is useless without warrants
on the treasury. Most of the holders Of
certificates are satisfied TO have the
matter remain as it is, but some Of
them want their warrants.
In the event of there being decision
that the Commissioners cannot charge
for the certificates, the clerk of the
Commission will probably refuse to give
out any more certificates at all. The
work of making them out was done by
Riggs outside of the hours as clerk of
the court. A large part of them were
made at night and during early morn
ing hours at home. Charging by the
hour at the rate of his salary while
clerk, it was figured that he was en-
titled to 1915, and this sum was paid
him out of the fees collected. If the
payment ana collection were illegal the
Commission may wants its money back.
1t is said that some of those who paid
fees are preparing to bring suits in as
sumpsit to recover the amounts they
paid in. In this event. it is said, iuey
have no right to the certificates and the
Commission may answer by telling
them to give up the certificates The
claimants cannot afford to do this, as
they need the certificates. 1t is claim
ed that the Commission is not under
any obligation to give out certificate tes
at all

WELL LAID PLAN FRUSTRATED
BY ACCIDENT.
An Attempt To Burn Up the River
Planning Mill Was Made Early This
MOrning-Its Discovery.

A daring and well-planned attempt
at inCendiarism was discovered and
frustrated early this morning by the
fortuitOus fact that Chinese butchers
go TO work early.
Inc attempt was made to burn down
the River NH Company . Du4u4iua at
River and PauahI streets. The build
ing is used as a planning mill and some
of the employees and perhaps others
sleep there. The building is raised
/ three or four feet above the ground and
on one siue of ii is a vacant lot.
About O'Clock this morning a Chi
nesc butcher passing the building along
River street saw the light OF flames un-
derneatn the building and Immediately
shOuted warning to whoever might be
in the building. Just as he gave the
alarm, he saw two men come out from
under the building and run away. In
the early dawn and the excitement the
butcher was unable to make out wheth-
er they were Chinese or white men. He
only caught a glimpse of them.
The sleeping men in the building
were aroused by the shouts of the
butcher and quickly put out the flames.
1t was found that tin pail had been
filled with cotton saturated with kero-
Sene oil and hung 10 one of the floor
joists and lighted. Above 1t, a bottle
of benzine had been hung in the expec-
tatiOn apparently, that the heat from
the burning cotton would explode the
benzine, set IL atlame and scatter il
about.
The proprietor of the mill notified
Hign Sheriff Brown who sent an ofii-
Ger TO inves esugate. The circumstances
of the attempt at incendiarism were
clearly evident, but there was no cue
