FIREBUG AT WORK.
Two Fires Recently Evidently Work
of the Same Man.

Two Fires Recently Evidently work
of the Same Man.
A fire, clearly OF incendiary origin, was
discovered at Tire house Of Marks Hertz,
on Hancock street, shortly after midnight
Saturday. Mrs. Hertz was awakened by
the smoke, and gave the alarm. Mr..
Hertz was away from home. Arthur Fra
zier and wife occupy apartments in the
house.
Fire had been started in three places
one under the bay window, which could
be reached from the cellar, one in the
cellar and another in the barn. The cellar
enter it. DR.. J. T. McDonald's horse,
which wss kept in the barn, had been
taken from its stall and turned loose in
the yard, and his automobile also had
been taken out of the barn.
The tiremen responded quickly to the
alarm, and soon had the fire under con-
troll. The damage in the barn was slight,
but the fire from the cellar had burned up
through the walls OF the house, and
caused considerable damage. The con-
tents OF the house were damaged by smoke
and water. The loss is covered by insur-
ance.
The serious feature OF the fire is that it
is so clearly the work OF fire. bug, and it
is not the first fire OF the kind recently.
About three weeks ago, City Clerk 7. E..
Hale, returning home about 8 O'Clock in
the evening, discovered small fire in the
basement Of his shed. The fire had been
started in small pile OF chips and shaw
ings and might have passed for an acci-
dental fire but for the fact that excelsior
had been used in starting it, evidently
coming from shed back of the Baptist
church, in which the excelsior taken from
the old pews of the church was stored.
The slat door to the Hale shed, which
could easily be unfastened from the out
side, was unlocked when Mr.. Hale dis
covered the fire.

YOUNG GIVES LEGISLATURE SURPRISE
Does Not Favor Revision-He SAYS
the Country Needs Rest On
the Tariff.
ttUpyright. i3lHt

WashingtOn.-Senator La Fayette
Young OF Iowa gave the Legislative
body Of which he has been a member
exactly ten days the surprise OF It's
existence. He had prepared TO make
an attack on his colleague. Senator
tummlns, who seeks passage OF a con
current resolution changing the rules
OF the house and senate so as to per.
init plecemeal revision OF the Payne.
Aldrlch tariff law. This he did, and
more.
Doffing his toga when he arose, he
bowed to the grave and dignified
senators from the standpoint of an
editor, which he is in private life.
The senate gasped and then laugh
ed when Mr.. Young told that the coun-
Try would feel relieved were congress
to adjourn altogether for two solid"
years. 1t gasped again when he al
Iuded to its members in breezy fash
ION as boys, and when he declared
that the editors of the country, and
not congress, ruled the country, the
galleries joined with senators in gen.
eral hilarity.
Mr.. Young opposed all efforts at
revision of the existing tariff law,
because, as he contended. the law
protects the interests Of the farmer.
He had great fear, he said, that ult-
mately the adoption of the resolution
would prove injurious to the great
agricultural interests.
Mr., Young spoke of the recent cleo
tons and, plainly referring to the pro-
gressive republicans. said that argu-
ments made by men. within the repub-
Ilcan party had produced democratic
votes. In discussing the attacks by
insurgents upon the principle of pro-
lection, Mr.. Young told of meeting
Colonel. ". J. Bryan recently and say
ing to him that just as the latter had
in fitness for the presi-
dency, his chances had diminished. |
and that, as he had now become
conservative, his party would not pre-
Ter him for that high office.
My colleague has said there we're
gross inequalities in the tariff enacted
n 1909, said Mr. Young at the out
set. This statement is undoubtedly |
rue and would be true if my col-
eague and those in sympathy with
him were to put in the next five years
n rewriting the schedules. Schedules
ire prolific in opportunity for attack.
t has always been true and will con-
inue TO be true so long as there is
duty on imports"
