SCOTT SAYS he
CAN PROVE ALIBI
Business College Manager Is
I Still Held While Fire Is
investigated
Insurance of $4,000 Placed on
Property Not Worth More
Than $1,000

Steth A. Scott, manager of the Thirty
Third street, who is being detained at
the city prison on suspicion of setting
fire to the college Sunday afternoon,
denies any knowledge of the cause of
the fire and says he can prove an alibi.
He said he lived in the college and
spent Sunday morning up to 11:45 Civ
ing instructions to the painters. He
went to the Lloyd apartments, Seventh
and Howard streets, and lunched with
Mrs. Ella Walkter and Miss Cora A.
Williams, principal of the college, who
lives there. He and Miss Williams
then went to the Chutes and at night
they went to the National theater. He
knew nothing of the fire till he got
to the college between 10 and IL o'clock
at night. He declares there was no
reason for setting fire to the college, as
it was paying we'll. He says he has
mining interests in British Columbia.
that his people live in Lodi and that
he has always borne an unblemished
reputation.
Fire Marshal Towe and Detective
Graham took Scott from the prison
yesterday to the college and confronted
him with the painters. The painters
said they did not use any turpentine
at all and could not account for the
two cans of turpentine and can of
fishoil that had been spread over the
floors and desks and a knife found
belonging to the college that fitted the
cuts made in the cans. The painters
said they left the place at the noon
hour Sunday and locked the doors.
The fire marshal ascertained that the
furniture and fittings in the college
are insured for $4,000 by Miss Williams,
the principal, and he estimates their
total value at between $3.50 and 81 ,000..
He learned from Mrs. V. Leiser who
occupies the fiat below the college,
that about 10 minutes before the alarm
of fire was given she heard footsteps
going up the stairs, and running down
a few minutes later. Fire Marshal
Towe and Detective Graham are still
working on the case, and Scott will be
kept in prison till today if no new
developments arise.

ARMOR OF ICE
SINKS VOLCANO
Fishing Schooner Borne Down
as Its Frozen Coat
ThickenS

The fishing schooner John d. Spreck-
els. which arrived yesterday. brings
from the frozen north story of ice
that extinguished Volcano. The Vol
cano was a fishing schooner lying at
anchor in the harbor or Sanak. AS the
schooner plunged at its mooring chain
the salt spray splashed against its sides
and each splash as it struck was con-
verted into ice by the chilly breeze. This
action continued until the hull of the
Volcano was incased in ice. The splash
ing and freezing went on until the cas-
ing became an armor of proportions
that would have delighted the soul of
Reuterdahl. 1t extended from the keel
to the rail.
As the thickness of the armor in
creased however, the Volcanoes free
board grew less, and one morning the
weight of the ice carried thes schooner
below the surface, and when the John
ID. Spreckels left the elements were
icing the Volcanoes topmasts.
On the John D. Spreckels the ice ac-
cumulated to thickness of three feet,
and in this condition the fishing sehoon-
er weathered a heavy gale. During the
storm the ice broke away from the after
end. The weight forward carried that
end down and for two days the schoon-
Ell was bows under.

certificate method Of piano advertising.
characterizing it as misleading. unfair,
deCeitful and generally injurious to the
piano buying public The opinions of
the most able trade editors in the cOun-
try are unanimous, and more has been
written regarding this evil during the
past six months than of any other sub
ject treated by the trade press.
Leading dealers all over the country
have and are still using every means
to educate the buying public that pianos
are merchandise IN the strictest sense
OF the word. and that the something
for nothing" method is no more pOssi-
bic in the sale of pianos than il is in
groceries, clothing or household effects.
In many cities newspapers have been
advised by the pOstOfice authorities
that the publication of the advertising
matter such as is used in these "con-
tests would be prohibited. thus effeetu-
ally putting an end to these schemes.

FACTS AND FALLACIES
ABOUT PIANO BONDS
More Information for the Holders of Gold Bonds,
Piano Coupons and Prize Certificates

In the morning and evening papers of
Saturday. under the heading Common
Sense and Piano Bonds we gave
briefly the actual condition and the
worth of the more than $2.O00000 in
Gold Bonds and Credit Certificates
which have been issued during the past
four months in payment for the solu-
tion of simple rebus puzzles, dot count
ing contests, etc. by piano dealers in
and about San Francisco, stating that
during the past year the issue of these
Bonds and Certificates would reach the
grand total of more than S2O,0OO,OOO-
The claim is made that the manufac-
turers of the various instruments
handled by these dealers are awarding
these prizes of certificates as means
of advertising in place of spending their
advertising appropriations in the maga-
zines and daily papers. Just think of
it! The two or three manufacturers of
pianos handled by an individual firm
appropriate the trihing sum of 81 2,000,-
600 to $4,000, 900 just to advertise their
pianos in San Francisco--one single
point in the whole United States. This
is vastly more than the capital Of the
manufacturer and dealer combined. and
yet it is stated that this sum is the ap
preparation for San Francisco alone.
Absurd, isn't it?
EVERY ANSWER WINS A PRIZE
To every person who answers one Of
these REFUSES or other puzzles, irrespec
tive of whether his answer is or is not
correct, is sent Gold Bond good for
its face value if applied on the purchase
price of a rev piano. These Bonds
vary in value" but a fair average of
the award is s1O0 for each and every
answer received. Then comes the sell
ing end. The prices of pianos made by
these most generous manufacturers are
raised from 500 to $3.50 above their or
binary selling value, and when the prize
winner appears with his bond he is duly
Congratulated on being one of the sue
cessful contestants and the sale con-
summated. credit being given for the
face value of the Bond on the piano
contract.

Bobby Wallace, the star shortstop
Of the st. Louis American league team,
loves to recall an incident that hap
pened back in the eos just after Te-
beau had assigned him to third base
for the Cleveland team.
Up to that time Bobby's only useful
ness to the Cleveland club had been
his well-known ability to pitch against
the Brooklyns and hold them score
less.
The Trolley Dodgers were as help
less before him as the Maps have gen.
orally been against Barney Petty.
Cleveland opened at Cincinnati the
year that Wallace blossomed out into
a third baseman, and Bobby's playing
IN thas initial series was probably the
most remarkable exhibition that up to
that time had ever been seen, with
the possible exception of Jerry Dem
ny's great work
Wallace and Tabeau occupied con-
meeting rooms at the Gibson house,
and about two a. m delegation of
Cincinnati and Cleveland newspaper
men borrowed pass key and invaded
the suite. Tebeau was reused from
his slunlbers by the late Harry Wei
den and shown q "phony" telegram
from Cleveland, reading:
President Robson wired Manager
Tebeau tonight ordering immediate
release Of Wallace" Tebeau read the
message over two or three times in
sleepy fashion
''Is this true?" finally asked Wei
den, while all the other newspaper
men turned their backs to hide their
smiles.
'True?" snarled Tebeau, tearing the
message into bits and making spring
at the newspaper boys. 81 don't care
what Robson says, wouldn't trade
