DAT'ERFSON, N. j., Dec. 22.-The
authorities now believe that the:
I visit of burglars to the house was
the cause Of the FIRE at compton Plains,
IN II which Mrs. Alice McWithey and her
TWO little sdaug hters, Helen, Z years,
and Elizabeth, 5 years old, persisted. A
thoro search of the ruins has revealed
the fact that all the valuable silver
ware Of which Mr.. McWithey was
known to have a great amount, was
missing, altho articles as small as Mrs.
MNleWithey's diamond and wedding
rings, when recovered from the ruins,
were found to be unframed by the
heat. s':st5Ss:,z5 -
The theory is that Mrs. McWithey
heard noises downstairs, got up, took
a lamp and went down to find the
cause. When she got there and found
that there were burglars in the house,
it is supposed she tainted and that the
overturned lamp set her and the house
on fire. The burglars, frightened by
the noise and the flames and the au-
thoritles, fed with their booty, leaving
the unconscious woman and little girls
alone in the burning house. 80 >.~..E' ~ = 2.
Mr.. McWithey, who is a member OF
a leading jewelry firm, had been de.
tained Until late by the holiday rush
and has been spending his nights in the
city. He was not at home at the time
of the fire. Tonight he is overcome by
the tragic death Of his family. Only
the charred remains of his three loved
ones are left.

the miner who for fifteen days faced
death, was rescued this evening by a

Hicks was nearly crazed with Joy

which he had been pinned since the
tunnel fell in, leaving him in darkness
and the plaything of a hooking death.
The hardened miners wept as Hicks
tried to thank them. Outside crowd

signal. Bakersfield was in a frenzy Of
Joy. Cannon doomed and the bells in
the churches tolled.. Men and women

n have begun for the car stea s1ss
Determined to reduce their
present embarrassment to minimum,
more than one hundred railroads have
agreed that hereafter one road detain-
ing in its own service a car belonging
to another system shall pay so cents
a day for the same.
This is an increase of exactly 100:
per cent in the penalty which has here
tofore been enforced. If this doesn't
do the business and bring about the
prompt return of borrowed cars, the
roads say they are prepared to make
the penalty ST. day.
In the interstate commerce commits
sion hearings Of the past week, railroad
men have repeatedly testified that, one
of the important factors in the present
situation was the practice of some poor
ly equipped roads Of retaining beyond
all reason the cars of other lines which
came to them loaded. It was deemed
cheaper to pay the nominal penalty Of
25 cents day for the period that this
borrowed equipment was needed than to
buy cars outright and then take the
chance that they would not earn money
all the time. 49, -
Roads Stirred to Action.
When the freight congestion came on
and the big systems began to find it
necessary to present mighty good ex-
cuses to the shipping public, this short
age on account of borrowed cars was
put forward as leading factor in the
situation. The rs cents a day be-
came a mere matter of form, just a
courteous recognition on the part Of the
borrower that the lender had something
coming. So far as possible the EN-
barrassed roads began to refuse to let
their cars go off the rails of the own
ing SYSTEM but it became apparent that
torcible argument was necessary tt
bring back the wanderers. "'
The doubling Of the penalty woule
seem to be an evidence that the losses
of equipment thru borrowers has beer
as serious a matter as the railroad wit
nesses have testified. 1t is also an in
dication that the roads are thorol,
stirred up by the agitation which ha
spread like wildfre over the country a
q result of the freight congestion. -~
