 1t has been suggested that on this occasion small admission fee be charged. the proceeds to be used in local charity work. Though it does not often happen that there is need for money to be expended in that re- spect in Tempe, there are now and then instances where very little money could be used to an excellent advantage only during the last wet spell the attention of several of the good people of Tempe was directed to the case of young man residing in a tent He was without help or funds and was critically ill Through the efforts of q few q small fund was raised to buy him wood and his dis tress was by this means greatly re- lieved.

Schweppe are the new owners
 The Clemans car was brought over from Phoenix yesterday by F. A. Carr and taken to the ranch south of town The Schweppe car has not yet been seen on the streets of Tempe. but has been brought over as far as the river. It shouldn't be thought by that that Mir. Schweppe is afraid to try the ford: it's more likely he don't want to get the machine wet until some of the new is worn off:
 But speaking of automobiles, it is probable that few new machines have as many miles to show for their first few days use as the Ahlquist Stude- baker. On Monday yMr. Ahlquist GOV cred about 125 miles of desert road. and he did nearly as well yesterday.
 In the morning he took party con- sisting of NIT. and Mrs. J. H. Will Hams and daughter.

There is nothing in the Utah stat

FIRE AT THE

BLAZE THOUGHT TO BE lNCENOL
AIRY ORIGIN.
Valuable Stock in Basement Damaged
Proprietor Hess Unable to De-
termine Extent of Loss.

Near the midnight hour last night,
fire was discovered in the basement
ot the Hess Cracker Factory, at the
year of the Grand Opera House. on
Washington avenue, between Twenty
fifth and Twenty-sixth streets. Fire
station No. / quickly responded TO the
call. and within very few minutes the
fire laddies were at the premises. The
basement of the place was found to be
on fire, but q quick and effectua ap-
plication of water soon eXtinguished it.
The entire building, however, was left
in maze of smoke.
AS soon as the smoke cleared away
it was discovered that the greatest
damage done was from the smoking
barrels Of ammonia, soda and cocoa
nut which were stored in the base
ment of the building The fire origl-
mated In the basement. and 1t Is
thought it was started by the hands
OF incendiaries. The place has not
been occupied for considerable
length of time. no fire OF any sort hav-
Ing been kept in that part of the build
ing for a long time past.
Mr.. Hess states that he had stored
there a stock valued from $4,000 TO
SIS 000. but it was impossible to de-
termine last night just how much the
stock had been damaged The build
ing, which Is made OF brick, escaped
Gamage, nothing but a wooden stair
case on the inside being burned. IL
is thought by the fire chief that the
damage is fully covered by insurance.

through her minister, Senor Espinoza
protested to Secretary Knox today
that the military and naval activity
in progress In that country is entirely
for defensive purposes: that she does
not contemplate attacking his sister
republics and that internal conditions
are quiet.
The minister went to the state de-
partment with bundle of dispatches
and spent half an hour with the secre-
the Emery claim, which has been the
source Of dispute between tho two
countries for years.
Both the secretary and the minister
later expressed hope for satisfactory
adjustment Of the claim and peace
ful solution of the whole situation.
The administration has decided.
however, to increase the naval force
in Central American waters TO six
vessels In addition to the Yorktown,
now enroute for Amapala. Honduras,
the armored cruisers Maryland and
Washington are to remain on the west
coast. the former going TO Acajutla,
Salvador, and the latter TO Corinto.
The most significant news today was
that about 5000 Nicaraguan troops are
near the Honduras frontier, the CHIEF
scene of activity being In the neigh-
borhood OF Corinto, where are also
concentrated four gunboats and other
auxiliary craft.
A feature dietasteful to the state de-
partment is the manner in which John
H. Gregory. the secretary OF legation

Washington, is being treated. There
are evidences of hostility TO him, and
