Michael King, who died in a coal mine

cause of death of King in the minds
of those who were instrumental in

from the county fail at Girard.
The stomach was removed from
Kings body and sent to the state

from heart affection. Some friends of
King were not inclined in the belief
his death had been due to natural
causes however, and insisted upon an
examination being made of the
stomach.

Chief of Fire Department Gives
Holiday Warming.
BabcOck Places Ban on Amateur
Electricians.
NO CANDLES ON TREES
Incandescent Lights Only Safe
Lighting System.
Santa Clauses With Cotton
Whiskers Must Be Careful.

Realizing the danger of a fire in one
of the downtown business houses in
the holiday rush season, E. E. Bah
cock, assistant fire marshal, has issued
a statement and warning to the bust
ness men of the city and to all who
participate in the handling of Christ
mas goods.
The acting fire chief gives an admo-
milton also to Topeka persons who are
planning to carry out the Christmas
tree and Santa Claus program at their
homes Churches who are arranging
trees, decorations and dressed up
Santa Clauses come under the head
of those who are supposed to take heed
to the fire chiefs warnings.
Cotton WhisI1ered Fathers, Beware!
In the first place Chief Babcock
wants holiday celebratOrS to be care
full of decorations and inhammable
materials spread throughout houses,
churches and stores. Candles should
nor be allowed near this class of ar
ticles, says the chief And none of 1t
should be placed in piles or allowed
to be thrown aside carelessly, where
there is any chance for mice and
matches and other dangers from fire.
1.-THE approach of Christmas season
presents many opportunities for spe.
cial electrical displays, said Chief
Babcock this afternoon. christmas
trees are displayed very largely in
stores and shop windows as well as IN
the home. Every precaut1on should
be taken in these displays. The mean
descent lamp furnishes the only safe
method of illumination. Many fires
are caused every year all over the
country as well as in Topeka from the
use of candles and other means of or
nament. No decorations of this kind
should be used where electric current
! is available.
''Wiring Of this temporary kind
often is done by persons who do not
properly realize the risk involved
through the lack of necessary precau-
lions IN handling electrical circuits.
| All temporary wiring should be done
| according to regulations by the city
/ ordinances and under the rules of the
underwriters. Only licensed and reg
| istered electricians are allowed to
make this electrical wiring.
I'm addition to proper wiring sug-
Egestions are in use for the elimination
of inflammable decorations. Cotton
batting, which is so commonly used to
give the appearance of snow, may be
| displaced readily by asbestos, mag
nesia or other fireproof material. SINH
larly non-inflammable substitutes can
be provided for hair, tinsel, etc.
1T is not always realized that II
paper or cloth or other infammable
material is left in contact with an in
candescent lamp it will be charrec
ultimately and probably caused te
blaze 1t is necessary that the lamps
should be kept free from contact with
any other material"

veloped n situation which may result in
a controversy that will cause the great
est upheaval in local amateur athletics
ever known. II was made plain in the
meeting. which was called for the election
of officers. that unless change is effected
In the present conditions move would
be started among the Washington clubs
to effect some kind Of an organization
that would act independently Of the pres
ent amateur organization.
There has been a great deal OF dissat-
isfaction among the local clubs because
of the lack Of proportionment Of the Of
ficers Of the union between the two cit
ies il being claimed that the Baltimore
men vote solid on every question and
present their own candidates and elect
whom they please to the offices without
giving any concern whatever TO the opin-
ion Of the WASHINGTON clubs. Another
condition that met with great deal of
objection on the part Of the Washington
clubs was the fact that all the meetings
of the union arc held in Baltimore and
none is ever neld IL this city.
