FIRE AT ZANDITONS.
Department distinguished What Might
Have Been Serious Conf1agration.

A fire originating from an unknown
cause destroyed about $4,000 worth
of goods at the Zanditon department
store at s o'clock Sunday morning.
The loss is fully covered by insurance
and the settlement was made this
morning in full for $542.50.
The fire was first discovered by pas
SerSby who saw the smoke circulating
around inside the store from outside
the big front windows. An alarm was
turned in to the fire department and
the whole company came from head
quarters only about two blocks away.
At the same time the janitor of the
in the second floor of the building
saw the smoke and hastily arising he
grabbed the store hose and turned the
water on at full force into the smoke.
But where there is smoke there is not
always much fire and for ten minutes
fire pressure went pouring down from
the second floor to the cloak depart
ment on the first floor.
When Chief Wilmarth's fire fighters
broke into the store by going through
the plate glass window in the front the
fire was still burning among the leath-
err goods and the water coming down
through the house hose. With but
few minutes of scientific work and the
fire was under control and all danger
past-but the janitor in the second
story worked on-and this is where
the larger loss occurred.
The cause of the fire is a mystery to
the owner of the store, to the insur-
ance companies and to the fire chief.
Chief Wilmarth says that it was either
caused by a smouIdering cigarette,
mice and matches or it was incendiary.
The latter cause would be the easiest
way to explain the matter as the 9TH
er causes cannot be accounted for in
any manner. The Insurance agents
say that an incendiary cause would be
altogether improba BILE at that time in
the morning. They are of the opinion
that this is the one argument against
such a cause. They they have decided
that it was matches, cigarettes or
Spontan eous combustion.
There seems to be some difference
of opinion to the loss. Chief Will
marth said this morning that the loss
could not exceed $500 and doubted if
this amount could be reached. All the
loss was from smoke and water.
Mr.. ZanditOn claimed the loss was
much larger but decided to accept the
prompt adjustment.

GAS LAW UPHELD.
United States Supreme Court Sustains
New York so Cent Statute.

Washington. Jan. 4.-The supreme
court of the United States today re-
versed the decision of the United states
court for the southern district of New
York in the various cases against the
Consolidated Gas company of New
York city. The cases involved the
validity of the New York state laws of
1906 and 1906, the latter of which
fixed the price Of gas in New York city
at 80 cents per 1000 cubic feet.
The action was begun by the gas
company in the circuit court in the
shape of prayer for an Injunction
against the enforcement of the law
and the injunction was granted by that
court on the ground that the terms of
the law make il confiscatory of the
property of the gas company, the rate
fixed being below a reasonable price
in the opinion of that court Justice
Peckham delivered the opinion today
overruling the lower court. The effect
of the decision is to declare the law
constitutional.
New York, Jan. 4.-The decision of
the United States circuit court of New
York was against the so cent gas law
and sustained the Consolidated Gas
company in its refusal TO deliver gas
for so cents per 1000 feet. From this
decision appeal was taken to the SUI
preme court of the United States

got So for being along. Thompson
and Lacey boarded a Highland Park
car Sunday afternoon to come to the
city They were half drunk and i'm
mediately began to get ugly. They
paid their fare after some delay and
demanded transfers right away. 1t is
customary with the conductors to give
all transfers after they collect the
fares so this one refused to be hur-
ried in the matter with much abuse
by Thompson. The conductor then
grabbed the controller handle think
ing that might intimidate the negro
but instead he made as If to pull

platform, locked him in the car until
he got to the transfer station where
he called Offfcer PARCELS. who with

Taft Advocates Good Roads.

President Taft has again indicated
his interest in good roads. The Vir-
ginia movement for better highways
has put forward a plan for a road
from Washington to Richmond. In a
letter on the subject the President
says:
II regard this as part of the gen.
eral good roads movement in the coun-
try, and l have pleasure in saying
that there is no movement that
know of that will have a more direct
effect to alleviate the difficulties and
burdens of the farmers life, will stim-
ulate the traffic, and add to the gen.
eral happiness of the people more
than the establishment of good roads
throughout the country.
II do not think that because this
may have been stimulated by people
using automobiles it is to be frowned
upon, for while persons using auto
mobiles are by no means the most
important in the community, the fact
that their sharp interest has focused
the attention of the public on the
movement entities them to credit"
