Made by a Youthful
Marysville Firebug
SPECIAL DISPATCH no THE CA1I..

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
MARYSVILLE, July 10.-walter NJ.
Silvers. who was arrested in this city
Saturday evening. today confessed that
he was the person responsible for the
two incendiary fires which destroyed
the fruit canning plant of the ]. X.
Armsby Company in Yuba City, and
also the two attempts 10 fire the Mon
cur Hotel. The confession was made
in the Office of District Attorney Schil-
lig of Sutter County before the Attor-
ney, Sheriff, Court Reporter Cutter, a
representative of the company and two
detectives who have been working on
the case.
Silvers gave exact details OF each act
of incendiarism and said he had no ac-
complice. He claims that each act
was committed while under the infiu-
ence OF liquor. at which times he pos
sessed an overpowering desire to see
things burn. He declared that his
deeds were not prompted by a spirit
of revenge or Ill will.
Silvers was employed by the Armsby
people at the Sutter plant and lived al
the Moncur Hotel. He was born In
Sonoma County twenty-seven years ago
and has wife and one child. He has
been in the employ of the Armsby
Company for some time at other can
neries, all of which have been de-
stroyed by fire. In his first attempt tC
burn the plant at Yuba City last month
only the main building was destroyed
Just one week later he succeeded in
burning the warehouses. He made tive
attempts on the Moncur Hotel, neither
of which was successful.
The attempt to burn the hotel led to
his arrest, although he was under sus-
picion by the officers. but the evidences
was not considered sufficient to convict
His preliminary examination will bt
called next Saturday.

STANDING OF THE CLUE
Race Track Fight In Court.

CINCINNATI, Ohio. July 10. The
case involving the fight between the
commission appointed by the State of
Kentucky 10 regulate racing and race
dates in the State and the Douglass
Park Jockey Club of Louisville KY
was argued today in the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals. The case
arose in April when the Douglass Park
Jockey Club asked the commission for
racing dates from May % TO June Is.
The commission refused to grant the
club racing dates, giving as it's reason
the fact that the dates asked for had
been given to Latonia. The court took
the matter under advisement. The de-
cfsion may not be announced until fall,
however. as the court viii adjourn

How Hot Springs Citizens
Put "Skid00' to Gamblers

Hot Springs, Ark.-The ski

on the Monte Carlo annex to Hot
Springs.
TwentY-four of the most no
torious gam bling houses in the
world have closed their doors.
Gambling paraphernalia worth a
half million dollars is being carted
to the freight depots. Five hum
dred men and women employees
and "cappers" are leaving.
Forty years of gambling in Hot
Springs is at an end. The clos
ing of the gambling houses was
brought about by the Citizens
Improvement union, composed
of good and determined citizens.
The active work was done by an
executive committee of %, The
Skidoo Committee"
Disguised with the evasions OF
the sworn officers of the law, the
"Skidoo committee" issued q
final, formal warning.
DRUMMED OUT OF TOWN.

meant business. Officers of the

Thereupon the citizens move

has ever told of the losses of the
poor. The one story of loss was
that of John w. Gates, who is al
