SENSATION UNEARTHED
OF FIRE HAS RE.
 MARKABLE RESULTS.
!. N. Perry, President Of the Bsnk of North Amerfca, ChargeA With
 Havfng Applied the
 Torch to Plant.

Chicago. Oct 2s.-A mysterious fire at the plant of the Chicago Car and Locomotive Company. at Hegewich. Ill, has become the subject of many sided investigation with sensational results. Corporation Counsel E. T.. Holman, of the city law department today gave out statement which says:
 sThe evidence shows beyond any doubt that the fire was of incendiary origin. The testimony of the engineer in charge of the building. together with that of the former superinten- dent of the company. amounted to . direct charge that Isaac N. Perry. the president of the National Bank of North America had become the owner of the property through sale under bankruptcy; that he had proceeded to manipulate the books and inventories increased showing as to the value of the plant; that he had ordered the if,- surance,, then. about sfoO. GOO to be sin- creased to. s20o.o00; thAtshe had order ed all the fcarss locomotives and other property of the company to be stored within the shops; that he had succeed ed in obtaining access to the shops alone and unaccompanied upon sun- day afternoon and that within an hour tnereafter Ire na0 Droken out Tn TOUT of the five buildings, and resulted in the destruction of two of them"
 Continuing Mir. Tolman's statement says:
 Mir. Perry's attorney claimed that MT. Perry had been the victim of . conspiracy, that 1t being known that he necessarily spent Sunday at this plant a fire was planned to take place at a time when he should be present. and all the circumstantial evidence would connect with it's origin. The attorney also offered to show that an arrangement was practically comp1et- ed for the sale of this plant for sum of money larger than the insurance, and that $1QD, 900 was deposited in, es- crow on account os this contract and that Perry. therefore, had no motive to commit the crime We are using every means within our power to as- certain the truth and are equally de- termined upon two points; first. that no guilty person shall escape and, second. that no innocent person shall be permitted to suffer an unjust accu- sation."'

 In euiogy of Grant. Senator German declared that that great soldier. upon becoming President. declared against large standing army, in which he was upheld by another great soldier. Gen. John A. Logan. who framed a bill lim- iting 1t to 3o,oo0 men.
 Yet here is Theodore Roosevelt. a little soldier of less than ninety days, with dreams of an empire to be made by. him. who forced the passage. of a law increasing the standing army to 100000 men, and bringing the State militia organizations under Presiden- tial control. . .t
 Roosevelt promised by McKinley's bier to follow in his footsteps. and he has foiiowed-in the opposite direction. He has built up an army and a navy too large for the country and he has bulieed Sout hAmerican republics and taken from one, Colombia, its most valuable asset. Tn doing all these things, the money of the American people has been spent like water and corruption has crept into the public service"
