APACHES FIGHT
A PRAIRIE FIRE
Prisoners of War in Okla
homa Are Ordered to Stay
Progress of the Flames

LAWTON, 0. T., March 5.-Advices
from Fort Sill late tonight state that
the military reservation north Of Fort
Sill is burning, and strong north wind
is blowing. The Apache Indians, who
are prisoners of war upon this reserva-
ton, have been ordered to the front
as fire fighters. No privates are being
allowed outside the fort tonight, and
all soldiers are in readiness to go out
to fight fires. No great fear is expressed
for Government buildings. This fire
will practically sweep the remaining
range bare of stock feed.
SALINA, Kan, March 5.-A prairie
fire last night was started by sparks
from an engine near Arcola, Ellsworth
County. 1t spread north to the Salina
River, a distance of twenty miles, and
was the largest blaze seen in this part
of the State for years, cutting a swath
ten miles wide.
There is no way of estimating the
damage done by the fire, as 1t took in
such wide expanse of territory. Many
farms have been devastated, pastures
and grain fields ruined, sheds and barn:
burned and other property destroyed.
The people of Arcola had great diff
| fieulty in preventing that village from
being burned.

URGES HOUSE
TO INVESTIGATE
Minority on Postoffice Com
mittee Files a Lengthy Re-
port on Appropriation Bill

WASHINGTON, March 5.-The re-
port on the postofice appropriation
bill, containing Z summary of the con-
tents of the bill. made public at the
time of its completion, was fled in the
House to- day. The report was ac-
companied by a statement of the views
OF the minority, signed by Representa-
tives Moon Griggs, Cowherd, Finley
of his own condemning railway mail
subsidies and the provision in the bill
for the lease for fifty years of the post
Office facilities of the New York Cen
tral Railway in New York City.
In the minority report proper an in
Vestigation of the Posteffice Depart
ment is urged. The conclusions of the
Bristow investigation are made a part
of the report, which is declared to be
a disclosure of startling corruption
in the division investigated and a
method Of doing business naturally
conducive to fraud.
The report then states that the in
vestigation was confined largely to
one division, and it is impossible to say
whether or not the same corrupt meth
DDS obtain in other divisions. The bust
ness intercourse between the divisions
make such a condition possible it
says, and some system of checks is
recommended so that frauds could not
easily be achieved. The minority re-
port concludes on this subject:
In view Of the interesting report
mentioned and of the hearings and of
the detailed proof furnished by the de-
partment TO the committee of the i'm
proper conduct of postoffice officials
and of the charges against other di-
visions of the department and the inn
perfect methods of obtaining facts as
to the conduct of affairs in that office,
it would be the part of wisdom that the
House should proceed to a full and
complete investigation of the Post
Office Department in all of its branches
for the betterment of the service, the
prevention of frauds and the general
protection Of the public interest,"
