FIRE DEPARTMENT
WAS CALLED OUT
Fire at Scott Manufacturing Company
Last Evening About $3.50 O'Clock
Resulted in Little Damage.


The fire department was called to
the Scott Manufacturing Co. at $50
last evening, a fire having been dis
covered in the rear of the second
story caused by extreme heat in the
cupola. Yesterday was heating day
and the roof had been scorched and
after the shop had been closed for
several hours, the small flames start
ed.
The fire department experienced
considerable difficulty In putting out
the fire because of the darkness and
the firemen were forced to make their
way through the building with the aid
of matches and lanterns.
The roof on the rear of the second
story was badly scorched and the fire
was extinguished by the chemical en-
CINE.
Ralph Leake was working in the
office when the small blaze was dis
covered and smoke was pouring from
the building. The alarm was sent in

JUSTICE BACKED
EVEN BY PREACHER
Burlington Minister Sent Letter to
President Of League Express
sing Appreciation.

President NJ. e. Justice of the Cen
trail Association, is receiving the sup
port of fans in every city for his ac
ton in the recent Burlington and Wa
terloo incidents which resulted in
Managers Hough and Boyle and play
ers Raglan and Pennington being sus-
pended.
Even the preachers are commenting
upon his strict enforcement Of rules
to make the game more pleasing to
the spectators. A Burlington min
lister has written Mr.. Justice letter
expressing his appreciation, copy of
which is as follows:
President, M. E. Justice, Keokuk, Ia.
Dear Sir: want to express to you
my appreciation of the way in which
you are backing up your umpires In
their attempt to give us straight and
gentlemanly game of ball. ] have tho
honor of being one of the fans and en-
joy the type of game we have here,
but have long wished for some such
enforcement of the rules as we are
now getting. suppose it is impos-
sible for an umpire to be right all the
time in his decisions but even so he
is more likely to be rigat than some
man sitting on the bench
(The above letter is signed by one
of the leading ministers of Burlington
and well expresses the sentiments of
thousands of fans in the Central Assoc
citation. }

New York Stocks.

NEW YORK, May 19.-The stock
market opened weak as result of the
announcement of the death of Rogers,
most of the leading stock being off
at least point. Standard Oil opened
unchanged on the curb.
The death of H. H. Rogers induced
general commission house selling at
the opening, but the supply was not
important enough to have much influ-
ence on the prices except on Consoli-
dated Cad and Amalgamated Inter
ests closely associated with Rogers
stated, however, that his holdings in
the Consolidated Gas have been con-
siderably reduced If not entirely
liquidated recently. They also ex-
pressed the opinion that his interests
in Analgamated Copper since 1907 is
small. This view generally prevailed
as trading progressed and before the
end of the first hour strong tone
prevailed and nearly everything on
the list was gaining in strength.
Government bonds easier, other
bonds strong.
TIE market continued strong and
active with further advances made in
many important issues. United
States Steel common sold at 59%
establishing new high record. Union
Pacific crossed 100 and there was per-
sistant demand for Reading and
Southern Pacific Atchison gained
over one point, while Pennsylvania
and Erie followed with fractional
gains Western Union advanced about
two points. Accompanying the up
ward movement Consolidated Gas re-
covered all it's loss in early trading.

UNUSUAL ORANGE QUALITY
(speeiaI Co,vespondent)

The new crop of .'Sunkist' oranges
which Is now finding It's way to this mar

of flavor that insures the liveliest appre-

of the California Fruit Growers Ex-
change ard each orange must undergo q
very careful system of inspection before
It can be marketed under the s.Sunkist''

the 5000 orchards of the Exchange are
sorted and set apart under different
classifioations according to points which
are as much in evidence to these orange
growers as "bloodcd stock" points are

These thousands OF orange farmers are
inbued with the belief that 1t pays to
