CAT IS INSTRUMENT
OF |NCEND|AR|ES
MYSTERY OF LIVERPOOL
FIRES Is SOLVED
Cat with Lighted Brand Tied To Tail
introduced Into Aperture of Wall.
Setting Building Aflro-Many
Warehouses Have Been Burned
and Police Were Helpless.

London. Oct-The mystery Of the
long series of cotton warehouse fires
in Liverpool has at last been to a
certain extent solved. The solution,
though at present largely speculative,
is extraordinary.
Weeks ago the police had made up
their minds that the fires, which all
occurred in one small area. and in
which there were many elements of
similarity, were not accidental. a
reward of 500 pounds was offered for
the discovery of the incendiary, but
though special patrols watched the
affected area, and the debris left al
ter each fire was carefully searched,
no tangible clue was discovered, and
the tale of damage continued to in
crease by tens of thousands.
In the complete deadlock to which
investigators were brought the mys-
terry resembled that of the murders
in the Rue Morgue. In that case the
criminal was monkey; in this case
the incendiary is a cat. 1t is an inno-
cent looking tabby, little more than
kitten. The fire which led to the
discovery was a comparatively small
one, at a one-storyed warehouse in
Luton street. 1t broke out soon after
s o'clock on a Monday evening, and
was almost Immediately discovered.
The fire brigades were up a few min
utes after, and succeeded in putting
out the blaze before it had time to
spread, with the result that out of
NEARLY 5000 bales scarcely 100 were
damaged.
When the last smoulderings had
been extinguished the fire salvage
ben begun there usual systematic eX-
animation of the place. In one wall
they found that two bricks had been
recently removed, leaving an aper-
ture through which a mans arm
could be easily introduced. Crouch
ing close by in a dark recess, one OF
them found a cat. The animal was
in a very scared and excited state,
but at length one of the men man
aged to draw it out from it's place
of sanctuary. 1t was then found that
dangling from its tail was about a
yard thick string, at the end of which
was tied a bundle of paper, very
much charred. 1t is believed that TINS
! tail attachment was soaked with oil
and lighted, the cat then being intro
! troduced through the hole in the wall
1t is considered highly possible thai
some. at all events, of the other fires
were caused in a similar manner, and
the police attach great importance tc
| the discovery.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
BREATHES DEFIANCE
DFFTFS POWERS THAT
WOULD INTERFERE
Spurns Offer of National GuardSmen
TO March i'm Parade-Defies Those
That Would Deny Him Freedom
of Speech-Refers TO Sentence
Against Him As Outcome of PREF
udice.

Washington. oct. 1S.-Defance Of
any power that would attempt to cur
tail his right of free speech or the
freedom of the press was expressed
here last night by Samuel Gompers'
president Of the American Federation
OF Labor.
Mr.. Gompers' address was the cii-
max of a demonstration arranged by
organized labor in honor of his re-
turn from Europe The meeting was
preceded by street parade in which
union men from many parts of this
country. Canada and Cuba partici-
pated.
Mr.. Gompers refused to allow
company of the national guard of the
District of Columbia to take part. The
Central Labor Union, at meeting
last night went on record in favor OF
the guardsmen marching in the line,
although there was some opposition
on the part of the delegates, who said
that the organized militia of the
country was used only to shoot down
strikers and union men,"
Turns Down Guard.
The opponents of the idea COM
municated with Mr.. Gompers today
and he promptly decided the guard
should not parade.
The celebration derived added IN
terest from the fact that this was the
dav upon which the court of appeals
of the District of Columbia was ex-
pected to hand down its decision IN
the contempt proceedings against Mr..
Gompers and other federation off,
cials. The decision, however failed
to materialize.
Mr.. Gompers' declaration Of inde-
pendence followed a narrative OF MS
visit abroad, during which he ex-
pressed his confidence in the forma-
tion Of a worldwide confederation oi
all labor organizations.
Referring to the jail sentence rest
ing against him on a charge OF con-
tempt Of court for referring to the
Bucks stove & Range company aftel
being enjoined against such action o'
the supreme court of the District o
Columbia, Mr.. Gompers declared JUS
tice Wright had decided the contemp
case against him because he was pre-
iudiced against men VINO work.

A ceremony of a somewhat I'M
usual character marked the laying at
New York of the corner stone of the
immense new department store build
ing to be occupied by the Gimble
Bros, who already have large es-
adjustments at Chicago and Phila-
delphia. Many men of prominence
attended the luncheon which pre-
coded the laying of the stone. Jacob
Gimble, the head of the firm, con-
tended that a great modern store
helped to develop the country's
manufactures and that it is a uni
versity for the training of character.
The undertaking represents an in
vestment of $17.O0O,OOO and will
employ 1000 people.

GOOD RADIANCE.

Nevada's gain was Spokane's loss
when the Industrial Workers of the
World, a band of degenerate an
archists, were driven from the min
ing camps of the state, to find a new
basis of operations in Washington.
How bitterly the people of Spo-
kan must regret the coming of these
political vermin!
Upon the streets of Goldfield they
should: "To hell with flag and
God damn the constitution" A
regiment of the regular army was
sent to quell them and they dissi-
pated like mist beneath the morn
ing's sun.
The last stand made in Goldfield
was when Nevada's chief executive,
who, unutterably grieved that he
must do his duty and who did it by
requisitioning the troops-died. At
news of Governor Sparks death
every flag in Goldfie1d vas half
masted, save one. This was the ban
ner hoisted to the top of the mast
by the l. w. w. organization. But
the good people of Goldfield had the
courage to force it to be likewise
lowered to half mast.
For weeks the jails of Spokane
have been filled with blatant dema-
gogues who attempted to preach the
downfall of the government from
the street corners.
Only yesterday n of the an
archists declaimed: "Once l had to
take off my hat to a dirty rag, but
now / ann free. We will sing a song
about a flag that is a flag"
AS the police led him to Jail his
audience joined in the anthem: 1.-THE
Starless Red Banner"
Starless, indeed, without a ray of
hope. Red, indeed, planned to be
more deeply crimsoned by blood.
The wonder is that the State and
federal authorities, particularly the
latter, do not crush the organization
as it would a den of rattlesnakes.
Happily the union workers of the
United States-the men of brain and
brawn-who build the homes and
occupy them, who r the real in
dustrials, have no sympathy with the
band of anarchists from whom Ne
vada has but recently been freed

Testimony introduced at the cor
oner's inquest on the St. Paul mine
disaster, Cherry, Ills, showed that
the fire was started by Mat Francisco,
Is years old, who, it is alleged, was
working in the mine in violation of
the child labor laws. The boy said
under oath that he had pushed a car
load of hay over to the elevator
shaft leading to the third vein and
left it standing close 10 the lighted
torch which ignited it. State Mine
Inspector Hudson frankly admitted
that he had not visited the Cherry
mine since last July and did not
know that open torches were in use.
Details of a secret conference at mid
night in which Rosenjack, <the flu
gitive witness. was assured financial
support by an agent for the st. Paul
Coal company were revealed by re-
luctant witnesses. The Buck broth
ers, who aided in the escape of
Rosenjack, refused to give any in
formation, saying they were willing
to go to Jail, for they knew that their
salaries would continue and that
their families would be cared for.

Youthful Her0s
Save Home
From Fire

Charles Weston, aged eleven, and
Harry Smith, aged ten, are youthful
East Ely heroes, so demonstrated
yesterday, when unassisted they put
out a fire in the home of the Weston
boy. Afterwards, they told about it,
but they din't have time before to do
anything but just put out the blae.
Master Weston is the sol of G. l..
Weston, manager of the Clark &
Lindskog jewelry store in East Ely,
while Master Smith is the son of
General Manager Arthur Smith of
the Ely Townsite Co. The two boys
are chums. Mrs. Weston was away
from home a while yesterday after
noon and in her absence a spark from
a piece of wood burning in the open
fireplace fell on the carpet. The boys
were playing in the neighborhood
and went into the house finally to
get VAIN. When they opened a back
door they found the room full of
smoke and, going to the front of
the house, we're almost overcome
with the rush of a dense volume of
smoke which poured into their faces
as they opened the door. Whit tne
admission of the air the carpet
sprang into O. blae.
The youngsters %thereupon upset
boy rules, for instead of running out
of the house to yell fire and summon
the community to a festival of fur
niture smashing, they quietly pro-
ceeded to hustle water from the
kitchen faucet to the place in the
house where it would do most good.
A half a dozen buckets sufficed to
put out the fire, the damage from
which was represents in a charred
carpet. The fire out, the boys re-
ported to Mr.. Weston, who investi-
gated and found that their GOODNESS,
courage and prompt action had un-
qu~estionably saved him the loss of
his home.

Sensational Rumors of Man Higher
Up Continue.

New York, Dec. 20.-The sugar
frauds are again under investigation
here today and a hint thrown out I'M
officially leads to the belief that in
dictment against an individual be-
lieved to be higher up" than the
men previously indicted might be
returned by federal grand jury. The
feature of the developments was the
arraignment of Ernest Geberhardt,
formerly superintendent of the
American Sugar company plant at
