MIDNIGHT FIRE
AT Gas PLANT
LARGE HOLE WAS BURNED IN
ROOF BEFORE BLAZE WAS
1EXTINGUISHED.

A large hole was burned in the roof
of the water-gas room of the Ottumwa
gas plant last night at about 1890
o'clock The damage is estimated at
several hundred dollars. The fire is
supposed to have caught from a spark
as when it was first n>ticed the roof
was in flames. A lead of water from
the Burlington round house was play
ed on the blaze and an alarm turned
into the fire station. The firemen were
soon on the scene and with two
streams of wa,er playing on the blaze
the fire was soon extinguished.
The room where the fire originated
is the watergas room, or where the
gas is manufactured and is about two
hundred feet from the large supply
tank which has a capacity for 1,000,-
600 cubic feet of :, as, but last night
the tank was only Partially filed The
large tank is of steel construction and
being air tight there was no danger
from an explosion, as gas will not ig-
mite unless mixed with air.

CUSTOMS EvADED
BY RICH women
MRS. JACK GARDNER AND MRS.
EMILY CHADBOURNE ARE
FINED $4,000. E

Chicago, Aug. 19-The United States
authorities in Chicago, Boston and
Washington for the last eight weeks
have been Investigating the most re-
markable attempt to "beat" the Gus
toms laws ever brought to their atten-
ton. The audacity Of the scheme and
the standing Of the participants breaks
all records.
Mrs. Emily Rockwell Crane Chad
bourne, who is now living on the
north shore, daughter of Richard T..
Crane, president of the Crane Manu-
featuring company and Mrs. Jack"
Gardner of Boston are the unlucky
persons involved. Mrs. Chadbourne
brought into this country as her house.
hold goods, under a false declaration,
nearly 100000 worth of articles Of
virtu belonging to Mrs. Gardner, on
which she placed a valuation of $S,000
Results Up to Date.
The result to date has been:
Frst-The goods have been seized
by United States Collector Ames and
are now confscated by the govern
ment.
Second-An agent acting for Mrs.
Chadbourne or Mrs Gardner paid the
government $4,000 in fines and penal
ties, and Mrs. Gardner will have to
pay $4,000 additional if she wishes to
secure possession of the property.
Third-The case in all probability
will be placed in the hands of the
prosecuting authorities, and 1t is not
unlikely that both women will have to
face indictments at the hands Of the
next federal grand jury that meets in
Chicago.
Mrs. Chadbourne was married to
Thomas L. Chadbourne in 1896 and
was divorced in 1905. After their mar
riage Mr.. and Mrs. Chadbourne spent
much time in European travel, past
| time which Mrs. Chadbourne continued
after the separation. 1t was while in
the east and in Europe that Mrs. Chad
bourne formed the friendship with
Mrs. C:rdner mat has resulted so dis
astrouHiy.
All Know Mrs. Gardner.

tens. and Known AS FeIwav court is
filled with rare paintings and statuary

Europe, but chiefly in Italy. Perhaps
more than half of Mrs. Gardner's for
tune of $5,O00,000 has gone into this
beautiful building and it's contents
which have been SO often described
For years Mrs. Gardner has tried tc
evade the payment of duties on ar

RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES UNEARTH
SWINDLE WHEN RIVALS
CUT PRICES.

Moscow, Aug. 19.-From investiga-
tion it is now believed the fraudulent
postage stamp business will develop
into one of the most colossal swindles
of recent times in Russia. Two we'll
known merchants of Moscow have
been arrested The operations con
sisted of systematic traffic in can
celled stamps which were sent to a
laboratory for cleansing and then sold
through accomplices in postoff1ces.
The business was SO lucrative that a
rival organization entered the field and
began to cut prices which led to the
discovery Of the swindle.
