THREE SMALL FIRES
KEEP FIREMEN BUSY
None of the Blazes Were Serious and
All Were Extinguished Easily.

The fire department was kept busy
yesterday. Three fires were recorded,
none of which, however, amounted to
anything. Late last evening the Santa
te fire department was called out to
eXinguish a small blaze originating
IN coal car. The firel started near
Abajo and the car was brought TO the
local yards while still burning by a
switch engine. Yesterday afternoon a
blaze in the yards of the Beaven coal
company called the fire forces out and
he fire, which consisted of some fine
shavings supposed to have been ignit
ed by a spark of a passing engine,
was speedily eXtinguished by the use
Of chemicals. The department also
made hurried run to the residence
Of l.. T. Delaney, manager of the
Western Union Telegraph Co., at 5O2
keleher street. The fence on one side
Of the house had caught fire, presum-
ably through the carelessness of some
passer-by who is supposed to have
thrown a match near the fence. Luck
lily plenty of water was handy and
painters working on the Delaney resi-
dence formed a bucket brigade and
the fire was extinguished before the
department arrived

PRELIMINARY MONDAY

Have Many Witnesscs--Children
of valdez to Testify.

The preliminary hearing of Emili-
ano Sandoval, who was arrested here
yesterday for the murder of Juan
Valdez, will be held before Judge Abb
bott next Monday at 10 o'clock at the
Bernalillo county court house. Mr..
Sandoval has employed the law firm
of Klock & owen as counsel. and 1t
is understood has very substantial
defense to make, despite newspaper
stories published to the contrary.
The preliminary hearing was set for
Monday of next week, to give ample
time for the summoning of a large
number of witnesses, many of whom
will come from the Nasciementio
country, in the western part of the
territory While 1t has been stated
tina, the killing of Valdez was the re-
suit of political differences, il is also
said that the charging of the crime
against Sandoval also smacks with
politics not from the point of view
taken by the authorities, out from
tha source of Information.
The two little sons of Valdez. who
are said to have witnessed the killing,
are stopping in this city with relatives
and will remain here until after the
t:ial.
Sandoval has been advised by his
attorneys to make no statement for
publication, but it Is understood that
he said Immediately after his arrest
that he knew nothing of the crime
until ne was told of it the day follow
ing the killing.

COLOMBO THEATER
NIGHT--
SWARMS Of BATS
INHAbIT CHURCH
Residents Around Lead Avenue and
Third Street Have to Dodge
Them.

For months past people living In
the vicinity of Lead avenue and South
Third street have been annoyed by
myriads of bats, which make their
appearance in the air just at sundown
but not until last evening was it dis
covered that the little winged animals
had their rendezvous in the cornice
work of the west porch of the First
Methodist church.
Yesterday evening between and 8
o'clock a man walking west on Lead
avenue was startled by cloud of
bats which swept out from the west
side of the church. 1t Is needless
to say that the man lodged. A mo-
ment later another swarm swept past
and then a third. An investigation
proved that the bats were coming
from between the cornice and the
stone wall of the church and they
came out in punches. Several hun
dred came through the crevice within
a few minutes.
Several other buildings in the same
neighborhood are said to be infested
by bats, and while they do no particu-
lar damage they are great annoy
ance. They have crept in between the
walls of one residence and can be
heard there at all hours of the day.
The number has been growing lately
and some fear is felt that they may
become a pest.

WAITER BLAMES WEATHER
FOR LACK OF BIG TIPS

Now that the electric fans have
been put i'm motion and men have
stored their overcoats with the usual
moth balls, and donned their straw
bonnets, the walters in the restaur-
ants are beginning to note the change,
or rather the shortneSs OF change, in
their pocketbOOks. As a reason for
this "stringency in the money mar
ket.' a waiter in a well known cafe
lays all the blame on the temp porarily
forsaken overcoat

good healthy tip can usually be
looked for. But the summer season
is here and with it has come the straw

that II is hardly necessary to give us
anything. AS a whole, our tips
amount to twice as much during the
winter season as I'm the summer, the
increase caused only by the overcoat
This is not a new condition OF affairs.
I have noticed this for several years

TRoiTER, MAKES CONFESSION
TO WHEELING POLICE.

According to information received
from Wheeling, w. Va. Charles Cook,
aged IS. formerly employed in a De-
troit shipyard. has confessed to the
Wheeling police that he killed Charles
Bennett, Pittsburg youth. whose
body was found In the Ohio river last
September. Cook, in his confession,
implicated his wife; formerly Miss
Lila Zane, who is also under arrest.
She is said to have confessed that she
decoyed Bennett to his death.
The Cooks came to Detroit shortly
after the alleged murder and are sail
tc have stopped In the home OF rela-
tive on Elizabeth-st., near Woodward
ave. He was traced To this city by
Chief OF Police Clemans, Of Wheeling.
but after talking with the couple the
chief expressed himself as satisfied
that they had nothing to do with the
murder. Not long afterwards Cook
and his wife returned to Wheeling.
Cook Informed Superintendent OF Po-
lice Downey that he had been turned
out OF his home here.
Young Bennett, IL appears from the
dispatches, was a former sweetheart
OF Miss Zane. The girls story Is that

uRE-coUNclL HANDLES eRIsT
OF SMALL MATTERS.

The principle OF civil service for the
municipal Offices OF Detroit was given
its first practical endorsement when
the common council Tuesday evening,
passed, over the mayors veto, the or
dinance making the boiler Inspector )
Office subject TO civil service. ltS
true, the Republican aldermen never
thought OF this while one OF their own
party stripe was mayor.
Examinations will now be held for
boiler inspector TO replace J. Harvey
Williams and two assistants TO re-
place Assistants Burrell and Martin.
The examining board will be picked
by the engineering faculty OF the UNI
versity of Michigan.
There was very little oratory over
the matter. everything having been
said previously. Seven Democrats
and Aid. Heating voted against the
ordinance. There was much lobby
ing and threats were made against
some OF the aldermen who voted for
the ordinance.
II is understood that a general civil
service ordinance will be introduced
In the council. The corporation coun.
sells Office has refused 70 draw mp
such an ordinance, and It is probable
that some OF the aldermen who are at
torneys will do the work In conjunc-
ton with Aid HARPER, chairman OF
the ordinance committee.
When civil service bill was pend
ing in the legislature. the aldermen
were told by some members of the
city's legal department, SO they de-
clare, that they had the right TO In
stall civil service themselves. This is
now denied by Corporation Counsel
