The mystery of the fire which on Feb Il
damaged W Gould Brokaw's house at ia
Madison avenue to the extent of 5000,
was cleared up last night. the police said,
when they arrested Oscar S Johnson,
who was caretaker at the house john
son was arrested by Capt Hogan and De-
teotives Bonser and Mcguire Of the East
Sixty-seventh street station house on
double charge of grand larceny and arson
in the second degree. The first charge
was preferred by Mr.. Brokaw; the second
by Deputy Fire Marshal Herman W. dc
Malignon
Mr.. Brokaw was in Florida and the only
occupant Of the house when the fire was
discovered was maid, Katy BREEDER who
was asleep on the fourth floor and was over
come by the smoke when Policeman Mooney
Of the East Sixty-seyenth street station
rescued her. Two hours after the fire.
johnson turned up, apparently much sur
prised at what had happened.
Al the time 1t was believed that the fire
had started from short clrcuitcd wires on
the second floor. Suspicion was first
aroused when Mr. Brokaw returned a few
days after the fire and found many things
missing which could not possibly have been
burned He at first placed Pinkerton detec-
tives on the case but, Us their reports
showed no progress, he appealed 10 Capt
Hogan, who got 70 work promptly
The detectives suspected johnson and
soon learned that he was dressing and
spending money far beyond his apparent
means They followed him for several
days and discovered that he had dealings
with pawnbrolers all over the city.
They arrested johnson last night and
then visited the pawnshops. where they
gathered in the following
Eight fur automobile coats twelve silver
trophy cups. won b. Mr. Brokaw ia uutomo-
bile races and inscribed with his name ten
suits OF clothes. twelve fancy ball costumes.
including some valuable Japanese kimonos.

WORK STOPPED on WARSHIP.
Naval HilI Prohibits ANY Oficer From TX
ceeding His Appropriation

WASHINGTON, March 1l.--Orders were
sent out from the Navy Department to-
day to Boston stopping the work on the
training ship Cumberland, which is under
construction at the Boston Navy Yard.
The reason for this move Is the amend
Inent attached to the Naval Appropria-
ton bill PASSED by Congress, which abb
solutey prohibited any Government
officer from expanding anything more
than his appropriation. Accordingly when
the naval appropriation began to run low
it was necessary to stop work somewhere,
1t is probable that the work on the train-
ing ship Intrepid at the Mare Island yard
will be stopped within a few days and
possibly also on the hattleship Connecticut,
building at the New York Navy Yard The
amendment TO the Naval bill made an
officer liable TO dismissal If he should ex-

In Ofe6on Nursery Contract

An Oregon nursery company has
s'taken in" quite a number OF fruit
growers in this county by selling
them nursery stock, including Eng
lish walnut trees, at exhorbitant
prices, the orders being taken on a
printed form of contract (printed, by
the way, in very small type), which
purchasers are required to sign and
under the terms of which they are
required to pay for whatever the
nursery company pleases to substi-
tute for stock ordered. The pur-
chaser agrees as follows:
''I agree to come or send for the goods
purchased herein on the day set for de-
livery, at which time said goods are to be
in good order, but after that date will be
at my risk, and if through any unavoid-
able delays the goods should not arrive
on the date set for delivery, I agree to
come again for them upon being notified
when they are ready for delivery, and
make no charge for second trip. If the
varieties herein named cannot be sup
piled, others of the same class adapted to
the same locality and ripening at the
same time may be sent instead. Prices
of any articles omitted to be deducted at
settlement. It is agreed that the entire
contract is written and printed herein.
and that no agreement or outside bargain
by the agent shall in any away affect this
cantract, and agree not to countermand
this ORDER"

The Modern Smuggler

A smuggler was about to be over
hauled the other day by revenue
cutter. This smuggler was undoubt-
edly loaded with opium, and to save
himself he voluntarily heaved his
cargo overheard. Taken without
the contraband he could not be held.
The smuggler sacrificed his profits
and saved his skin.
Though smuggling is an out.awed
occupation, the smuggler has been a
creature around whom no end OF
romance has been woven. But
princes and pirates, boots and buc-
cancers have also been associated in
literature. The smuggler Of romance,
however, was the smuggler of other
DAYS, often pictured as the creature
Of an oppressive monarchial environ
ment. He defed the cruel king and
disregarded unjust customs regnla-
tions. He was the product Of imag-
ination, justified, perhaps, by the
conditions under which men lived a
century ago.
Smuggling today is sordid occu-
patton. There is nothing to justify
II. Men become smugglers that they
may make big but illegitimate
profits, preferring the risks attend
ant upon such an occupation to or
derly law abiding conduct. The
smuggler is 3 common rufian who will
often conceal his unlawful operations
behind worse crimes. Few Of them
would have any scruples at cracking
the head of an officer who menaced
their acts or liberties.

In reporting the arrest of smuggler
Larry" Kelly in Whatcom county
with sixty pounds of opium in his
possession the papers refer to him as
''Red" Kelly also. It is common
error. "Red" and s'Larry" are two
different individuals The one thing
they have in common is their con-
firmed propensity for smuggling
opium and Chinese. ''Red" is rather
partial to the islands of this county
as base of operations and is not an
infrequent or unwelcome visitor at
Boyce's bay, Mitchell bay and Henry
island. He has made his headquarters
on Henry island for some months.
