GARY HAS TWO
BAD BLAzES
Fire in Simasko Place
Causes Suspicion to be
Greatly Aroused
INSURANCE COMPANY ON TRIAL
Location of Gasolene Cans Causes Po-

INSURANCE COMPANY ON TRIAL

Gary had two fires last evening
which We're discovered through the
vigilance of its policemen and might
have caused a great deal of damage
if they had not been discovered al
their inception.
One fire was in the saloon of John
Simasko, whose place of business is al
the intersection of Sixteenth avenue
and Massachusetts street, and is be-
lieved by the police to be of incendiary
origin.
Fire in Siaskos place was discov-
cred at $3.50 this morning and was seen
to be burning in three different places
officer John Mulcahey happened to be
passing the place and saw the flames
Fire Behind the Bar.
He at once rushed into the house
and after securing a pail succeeded in
extinguishing the flames he discovered
behind the bar. He had no more than
completed this task than he discovered
a fire in nearby bedroom.
Again he took bucket and sue
ceeded in putting out the first, when
he discovered the third fire in the
kitchen. He went to work and with
the assistance VI sumo BAKERS VINO
were aroused by that time there as
no difficulty in extinguishing the
flames.
1t was Simasko's place which was
discovered to be on fire some time ago
and the destruction of which was pre-
vented by the timely arrival of a Gary
officer no discovered the fire and put
ii out.
Mayor Knots. who carries the in
surance on the place. was so pleased
with the officers vigilance that he
gave him a new hat. There Is $4,000
insurance on the place and the fact
that two fires have already been dis
covered in the place. and the last un-
der circumstances which arouse gravest
suspicion. lead the police to believe
that they have all been of incendiary
origin.
Gasoline Cans Misplaced.
What would further substantiate this
theory is the fact that an oil can and
a gasoline can were found out of their
accustomed places and in the yard
This would make it appear that the
fires had been purposely started.
The police and the insurance COM
pany in which the policies are held are
making an investigation.
The other Gary fire was discovered
by officer Gust Newman of the Gary
police force, in the residence of Johr
Kriews. which is located on Washing
ton street, at the corner of Twelfth ant
Thirteenth avenues.
A lamp was set under a lace cur
tain in such a manner that the cur
tain was set on fire. The flames were
soon extinguished and there was very
little damage done

BONI SUES FOR KIDS
AND-MORE MONEY

PARIS. July 17.-Count Boni wants
his children. And some more money.
The little fighting Castellane has
formally filed suit for such revision
OF the decree OF divorce obtained
against him by his wife who was Miss
Anna Gould, OF New York. as will give
him the custody of his three children.
The hearing has been set for July
%.
The principal ground set forth by
Count Boni is that the past record of
the Prince de Sagan marks him as
unworthy to be in close relationship
to the children. The conduct OF the
princess in travelling with the prince
prior TO the marriage Of the pair also
is invoked. As a corollary the count
asks the court to order the mother
OF the children to contribute $4,000
annually toward the maintenance of
each child

GORGEOUS PAGEAN1
IS TERCEhTENARY
REHEARSAL
QUEBEC HAS GLIMPSE AT sLPEN.
DOR OF OLD FRANCE AND THE
STRUGGLES OF THE EARLY
SETTLERS.

QUEBEC, July 17.-Somehing of
the pageantry and splendor OF old
France was seen yesterday, when the
first dress rehearsal OF the Tercenten.
airy celebration OF the founding OF
Quebec was held. Historic scenes
and great events were portrayed with
amazing realism and dazzling color.
The groupings were bewildering in
their splendor. The costumes were
rich and brilliant.
Reviewing the past, the scenes re-
called the deeds of the adventurous
founders OF Canada. Ten thousand
spectators saw on the historic plains
CT Abraham. where one OF the decis-
i've battles of the world wSs fought,
the arrival OF Jacques Cartier and
the banks OF the st. Lawrence and
heard his preaching Of the gospel Of
st. John TO the savages.
1t saw In another scene the COM
ing OF Angels OF Mercy-those gentle
women OF old France who gave their
lives to the cause of Christianity and
civilization. Following these peaceful
scenes the spectators caught a glimpse
OF the horrors of war In the brave
defense OF the fort by Dollard and
his sixteen associates against a crafty
lot Of Iroquois.
Arrival Of the Fur Traders.
Another interesting sight was the
arrival Of the fur traders and their
taking possession OF the country In
the name Of France. Still another was
the historic episode when the un.
daunted Frontenac gave his memor.
able answer 70 the British general,
Phyps: AT the mouth OF my guns.
The final scene was not one easily
to be forgotten. Side by side march
ed regiments OF English and French
in the quaint uniforms OF 800 years
ago in one grand parade OF honor for
Cartier and his cross, who with Cham
plain, Laval. Dollard. Mother Marie
and the other great characters OF his
tory, was escorted past The immense
concourse. There were over 5000 peo-
pie in the different pageants.
The first regular presentation OF
these impressive pageants will be
given on Tuesday, July 81. The
Prince OF Wales will be present dur
ing the celebration.

BLACKLIST AND BOYCOTT
CONDEMNED BY JURIST

MILWAUKEE,. July 1.-THE black.
list Of the capitalist is as reprehensi-
BILE as the boycott OF the laborer.
This was the declaration of Justice
David Brewer. of the United States
supreme court, in an address before
a large number Of agents Of the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
Co.
The justice said that there was
nothing more wholesome than col.
lection OF laborers, but that when any
body Of laborers say. you must jain
this organization or you can't be per-
mitted to work anywhere" that or
ganization was an enemy to personal
liberty.
Such conduct was disgraceful and
the blacklist and the boycott, the use
OF which prevented men from getting
employment, endangered the future
and glory OF the republic.

FINDING OF HAZEL DREws SUIT
CASE AND PURSE GIVE CLUE
TO MURDER OF TROY, N. ",
GovERNEss.

TROY, n. Y, July 16.-With the
finding OF Hazel Drew's missing suit
case and her hand-purse. Dist. Atty.
OBriens sleuths have their first sub
stantial evidence that the unfortunate
girl was alive Tuesday afternoon. Sus-
picion now turns 10 the silent, lonely
mountain where live Taylor. Frank
Smith, Rudolph Gunderman and the
irresponsible and drunken charcoal
burners
But while revealing probably the
girls only real love affair, the luggage
failed to supply a motive for her trip
on the road and the murderer is as
far from the laws clutches today. as
on the night he threw her lifeless
body into the pond.
To the many assumptions and clues,
the strange hiding place OF the prop
erty adds more conjectures. Added TO
this is the startling statement from
Mrs. Cary, the girls last mistress.
that Hazel made two trips to New
York on two days each. one TO Bos'
ton OF three days, and one to Provi-
dence, OF two days, presumably to
meet a mysterious friend, possibly the
author OF the ICES" letter and post
ais. Were he here July 6. the girl
likely planned to meet him, select
ing the station where she checked
the suit case as most convenient for
departure, or as a meeting place.
Beyond these brief trips from Troy,
after which Hazel was secretive, but
seemingly happy. Mrs. Cary says she
was never away. except TO attend an
occasional dance, and then always re-
turned before IL o'clock.
II her sweetheart dropped into Troy.
July g. Hazel was prepared at least
for a drive into the country after
quitting her Place OF work and check
ing her suit case and hand baggage.
While this suit case find was made
in Troy. detectives at Teal pond found
a glove which was worn by the girl
and in the finger OF II was a five
cent piece.
Besides a few feminine belongings
there was nothing OF much importance
in the suit case besides the bag. There
was newspaper clipping, which
read:
Edward Lavvie has departed for
Chattanooga. Tenn. where he will re-
main for the winter" but as this bears
the date OF Oct. 6, 1907. not much i'm
portance is attached to II.
A reward of $1,000 for the arrest
and conviction OF the murderer OF
Miss Drew has been offered by Rens-
selaer county.
