on neutrality-suspicious. Bills.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 12-One Of
the bills introduced in the senate yes
terday by Senator T. T. Moore Of Put
nam county, is the same bill that he
introduced two years ago, defining and
changing the practice and proof in re-
monstrances against the granting of Ii
quor licenses. The bill, in effect, places
the burden in cases of remonstrance
on those who are resisting the remon-
STRANGE. At present the burden of
proving the genuineness of signat-
ures, etc, rests on the demonstrators.
This would be changed, according to
Senator Moore.
A second bill that the Putnam coun-
ty senator introduced provides that the
county commissioners shall have dis
cretionary power in limiting the weight
of loads that can be hauled on country
roads when they are soft, or when the
freeze" is coming out.
A third bill provides that the Iegis
lature decide to place a statue of Gen.

toned, but admitted that three weeks
ago a neighbor called his attention to
a piece Of buttered bread lying on the
porch Of his home, 1925 La Sale street
Sergeant Prendergast said the bread
was fed to a dog. which died soon af-
terward He thought the bread may
have been placed on the porch and that
his child, Thomas. could have picked
1t up and eaten 1t.
II told Captain Madden in Engle-
wood of the case and he detailed men
on it." admitted Sergeant Prendergast.

ALMOST BURIED
BY SLIDING ORE
Laborer Undermines Mass
of Heavy Material
Both Legs Fractured.
Especial to Lake County Times.)

South Chicago. Jan. 11.-Early this
morning an accident that narrowly
failed in resulting fatally to its victims,
occurred at the plant of the Iroquois
Iron company, Goth street and the river.
Andrew Paul. buggy-man employed
there and residing at 1888 Avenue N,
was digging at a pile of ore, when a
great mass of it became loosened and
began to slide. The entire side of the
pile slid down and caught Paul, almost
burying him. He was dug out by fell
low workmen and an examination by
physician showed that both the mans
thighs were fractured in a number Of
places. He was taken to the South Chi
cago hospital in a police ambulance.
International Adopts Good Plan.
The International Harvester company
are adopting an excellent scheme which
will result in greatly lessening the suf-
ferings of men injured in their en-
ploy. A class consisting of one man
from each department has been organ
ized with the purpose of studying first
aid to the injured, applications of band
ages, temporary splints, dressing, etc
The class will meet once a week un-
der the leadership of the company's
attending physician who will instruct
the men in this practical knowledge.
If the plan is followed up, it will
mean that men who are hurt at the
plant, can be attended to at once BY
men who know just what to do, in.
stead of being compelled to suffer while
awaiting the arrival of a physician.

$3.50 a month rent for the building now

DENMARK.
Copenhagen.

King Friedrich departed on the oath
inst. for Iceland. The first stop will be
made at the Farce islands. Thence
the trip goes direct from the Farce isl
ands to Reykjagik. The king will
remain in Iceland month. He will
be accompanied by Prince Herald,
Premier Christensen, Justice Adler
and number Of scientists. The fol
lowing editorial In the Minneapolis
Journal explains the kings purport in
visiting the Danish possessions in de-
tail: ''1he interesting announcement
Is made that tie king Of Denmark will
visit Iceland in an effort to fan the
dying flame OF love for the mother
country. Encouraged by the success
of the separation movement in Nor
way, the Icelanders have become In
spired with ambition for practical in
dependence from Denmark. The
union is If little benefit to them, either
commercially or politically, and al
though Denmark has made every effort
to keep the islanders contented, even
going so far as to invest the Icelandic
althing or parliament with plenary
powers. the sentiment for separation
has grown apnce. Its latest phase has
been the demand for distinctive
Icelandic flag. The separationists
claim that Iceland Is not rightfully the
dependency CT the state Of Denmark
but Is rather an appanage of the
crown, so that the monarch's title
should be King OF Denmark and Ice
land In language and blood and
history Iceland is more closely allied
to Norway than Denmark. The island
was originally settled by the Nor
wegians and it Is there. that the old
Morse language Is preserved in its
greatest purity. Iceland, too. Is the
treasure house of Morse literature, the
Icelandic sagas being the most import
ant relics Of its medieval fiorescence.
But. like Norway. Iceland passed into
Danish control by the treaty Of Calmar
In 1880, and there it has remained.
Danish craftsmanship is likely to be
severely tested by the Icelandic prob
lem. King Frederick's decision to visit
the island looks like good stroke,
similar to King Edwards recent visit
to Ireland. The islanders will doubt
less he impressed by the opportunity
to see a real king at short range but
the threat to fly the Icelandic flag on
all the public buildings during his visit
looks rather defiant"

Conflasration.

New York, July 29.--Shocking loss
Of human life and destruction of prop
erty were caused by fires in New York
and its immediate vicinity in the
twenty-four hours ending at a. m.
Twenty persons are dead and fifteen
suffering from injuries as a result of
the burning of the six-story double
tenement in Chrystie street and the
financial loss resulted from the de-
struction of the Long Beach hotel at
Long Beach, l.. L.. and the Steeple
Chase park and other property at
Loney island. In addition the steam
ship Hamilton of the Old Dominion
line came into port with part of her
hold ablaZe. The Hamilton was at
her dock before any of the passengers
knew there was a fire on board. The
flames were extinguished after about
Si5,060 damage had been done.
The explosion of bomb, placed, the
police believe by agents of the Black
Hand in an Italian grocery store on
Chrystie street, started the fire which
tenement and destroyed the lives of a
score of people and injured fifteen
others. THO noise Of the explosion
caused lanic in the densely popu.
lated district
| The police say that many persisted
in the flames, fearing to escape to the
streets, where they believed death
awaited them from the dreaded Black
Hand. A second explosion from a
kerosene tank followed and the whole
| lower floor was a mass of flames from
blazing oil.
Flames Cut OFF All Escape.
The fire shot up the stairways, cut
| ting off all escape from those in the
bedrooms above. Many rushed to the
FIRE escapes, which became clogged
with frightened people. The house
was filed with dense smoke and the
flames, rushing up stairs, drove the
half crazed people toward the roof.
| The flames killed many as they were
| about to be rescued from the roof
! while others were overcome by smoke,
! There were many heroic rescues by
! firemen.
The bodies of the dead were found
! in all manner Of places. Four women
were discovered dead in closet where
they had rushed to hide from the
! flames, which found them out. The
body of woman was found lying over
a child as though she had tried to pro-
| tect II from the flames. Five bodies
were found crowded around one door
way on the top floor, showing that
! they had been struck down while try
| Ing to escape.
The fire wave first struck Coney
island and before it subsidized Steeple
Chase park, a score of hotels and
many amusement attractions were in
ruins and many persons were home
less The next fire was the steamship
fire. Then came the Chrystie street
tenement disaster and next the Long
Beach hotel was destroyed The 500
guests were all in their beds when the
flames were discovered, but all left
the building in safety.
