Blazing Smoke
House Calls Out
The Department

One of the smokiest and most pecu
liar blazes which the local fire de-
partment has been called upon to face
in a long time did about $500 dam
age in the three-story building of the
Cudahy Packing company at sos Wa
ter street shortly after 8:15 o'clock
this morning.
The blaze originated and was en-
tirely confined to the smoke house, a
small compartment which runs the
entire height of the building and is
separated from the rest of the struc-
ture by a thick brick partition.
The blaze apparently originated in
the bottom of the smoke house while
it was in operation, the smudge fire
there communicating to a wooden
grating which gradually spread the
flames up through the length of the
smoke house and finally to the ROOF
The department was first SUNNI on
ed by still alarm telephoned by en-
ployes of the concern. When Chief
Mooney arrived on the scene he saw
quite a thick cloud of smoke pouring
out, and not wishing to take any
chances, caused an alarm to be runs
in from Box i 6 at Bank and Water
streets.
To get at the seat of the trouble
the fremen had to chop through the
partition and the flooring in several
places but the fire itself was immedi-
ately squelched as soon as it could
be reached. Aside from the holes
cut through the flooring and the
damage to the interior of the smoke
house, there is no loss.

Held In Heavy
Bonds To Answer
Charge Of Arson
Reilly Street Baker Is
Bound Over in City Court
This Morning Proved
An Abb

Martin Kubik, Reilly street baker
accused of having set his place afire
on Christmas night, was arraigned in
the city court this morning and held
in bonds of $1,000 for trial before the
Superior court on the charge of ar
son, probable cause being found by
Judge Wilder.
The most damaging evidence
against Kubik was found in the shape
of a box of shavingS, sawduSt, etc,
into which a bakers pan full of kero-
sine had been placed and set ablaze.
Kubik is said to have admitted to
Captain Jacob Horkheimer right af-
ter the fire, that he had placed the
pan in the box where it was found,
but denied having put the kerosine
there or having set it ablaze.
Kubik's counsel, Attorney John p.
Gray, proved a good alibi for his
client, producing witnesses who testi-
fed that Kubik was at a moving pic
ture show from to 9:15 that even
ing, Chief Mooney having testified
that the fire had not been burning
more than five minutes when he ar
rived at $40, showing that the blaze
had been set about 9:05 while Kubik
was at the picture show.
The court did not accept the alibi,
apparently on the theory that a slow
match or some such means might
have been utilized in setting the fire

FLORENCE POTTER
rs GIVEN DIVORCE

Florence Potter of Norwalk, a girl
whose blond beauty was we'll set off
by a handsome fur coat, was granted
q divorce from Shirley B. Potter of
Norwalk, in the Superior court, yes
terday afternoon, after she had told
Judge Case tale of cruelty as prac-
ticed upon her by her husband.
Mrs. Potter had been waiting in the
court room from 10 o'c'ock in the
morning until in the afternoon for
the privilege of telling her story, and
she showed signs of fatigue as she
took the stand. The plaintiff said she
married Potter fn November, 1906, and
for two years they were happy. Then
Potter began to go with other women
Mrs. Potter didn't mind SO much when
he simply met them at other places,
but when he tried to bring two women
to his home, she thought the limit had
been reached.
After that episode Mrs. Potter re-
preached her husband, and shortly
after that she left him and went home
to her mother. In addition to his
fondness for other women Mrs. Potter
said her husband ill-treated her in
MANY ways

Support Pledged On
All Sides To New
Republic Of China
Especial from United Press

(Op6CIal united PfeSS.)
Shanghai, Dec. 3O-"China is about
to enter upon an era of peace and
prosperity such as she has not enjoy
ed in all her long history
This was the statement, today, Of
DR.. Sun Vat Sen, provisional president
of the new republic of China. The
executive is enthusiastic over the
pouring in on him from all quarters
from people who are anxious to
pledge their support to the new gov
eminent. DR.. Sun has become pop
ular with the representatives Of for
eign governments and there is little
doubt that the national convention.
which is to be called soon, will de-
clare for a republic and declare the
election Of Dr. Sun.
An agreement has been reached
with the imperialists for an armistice
until after a national convention can
be assembled. 1t Is probable that the
meeting will be held here, although
some Of the revolutionists are insist
ing that Marking, the provisional cap
ital, is the proper place. s
A big dinner was given, last night
in honor of the new President and
TO the United States. DR.. Sun said,
today:
There is no doubt in my mind that
the action of the provisional military
assembly in electing me president will
be ratified by the nation, which un>
doubtedly- would declare for repub-
lie. 1 am receiving offers of support
from many provinces. Even the im-
perialists will come over with US soon.
Peace is assured for China and there
will be a hundredfold increase in
business within the next few months.
The work of placing the new gov
eminent on a solid basis will natur.
ally be tedious but We will overcome
all Obstacles
