DuBUQUE's FIRE BUG
Web Of Conclusive Evidence Drawing
About M. L. Smith. Connecting Him
With Series Of Costly CONGREGATIONS
Shows Symptoms Of Degenerate.

Dubuque, May A web of conclu-
sive evidence seems drawing about
Walter Smith, the young man being
held Oh a charge of incendiarism. That
he was the author of the half dozen
fires at the Grand opera house Monday
afternoon, which quick work by the
chemical department served to eNtin-
guish, there is no question. That ulti-
mately he will be connected with vari-
Gus other fires seems likely.
Smith was on the ground If not at
the time, Immediately after the Bljou
fire started. That he had done roust-
about work at the theater for some
time is known fact. That the fire
men recognize in the fellow one VINO
was earliest on hand at practically all
Of the fires Of recent date is also fact
There is reason to believe he VIII
be connected with the lumber yard
fires, the flames at the international
Harvester Company plant. tho Loet-
scher- Ryan concern and probably with
the julien hotel fire, as well as the
flames in the Grand opera house on the
night of the last fire in the Standard
Company's yards.
OFFICIALS who have come in contact
with the prisoner and who have had an
opportunity to study him. as well as
those who have known him in the city.
declare he is a peculiar makeup. He
shows symptoms of degeneracy. il the
cast of countenance may be taken as n
criterion. His eyes lack luster. and
his whole attitude is that or morbid
detection. 1t is believed he belongs 70
that class of detectives whose anliction
takes the eorm OF pyromania. The de-
sire to witness fires, 1t is believed, Is
the absorbing mania with the prisoner.
He Graves the excitement of the blaze
and delights In the spectacular effects
OF the rush of the fire department and
the work of the laddies. The element
of moral responsibility. the Idea OF
property loss or even of the loss of
human lives has no part in the calcula-
tion of the man who is afflicted with
this peculiar mania.
Whatever confession was secured
from Smith by the officers was by in
ference.

Denver, May 4.-The Des Moines
franchise in the Western league will
not be transferred to Oklahoma City,
as President O'Neill intimated might
be done, if John F. Higgins. owner of
the club, can prevent it. higgins said
today that he purposes to spend money
freely in keeping the Des lMoines team
in a high class. Among additional
players in prospect is Lang, of the Chi
cago Americans.
"ONeill is only president of the leag-
ue, while I am owner Of the Des
Moines team" Higgins is quoted as
saying. touching the statement credited
to O'Neill, that the Des iMoines fran
chise might go to Oklahoma City. Il
think Des Moines is the best town in
the league outside of Denver, and I am
going to invest more money in my
team. We have 10000 tickets already
sold for the opening game there"

May Fly Over Nebraska

An aeroplane trip across Nebras.

Glenn I'll. Curtiss flying from Omaha
to Hastings and return by way Of
Lincoln.
This proposition has come to the
Aero Club OF Nebraska through the
Hastings Republicans and with ia
vorable weather there is little doubt
but what the trip will be made.
Snch trip will be one of the fea-
lures of the aviation meet to be held
under the auspices of the Aero
club of Nebraska in Omaha, July 8
to H.
Already number Of automo bile
drivers are arranging to race with
the aeroplanes and one Omaha dea-
Ter has challenged Curtiss for a
race.
With these plans put into execu
ton Nebraskans will see a novel
performance-not only one or more
aeroplanes flying over the corn
fields, where only a few years ago
the prairie schooner was the means
of travel, but score or more of au-
tomobiles will drive beneath the
aeroplanes atrecord making speed.
The starting place for the aero
planes has not been selected as yet,
the matter being left in the hands
o. the managers of Mr. Curtiss.
