FINDS AN ARSON TRUST.
Illinois Fire Marshal Makes Some SEN
sationaI Statements.

Chicago, July 20.-That there exists
a gigantic, country wide arson trust
with headquarters in KANSAS City and
representatives in nearly all the large
cities. the members of which make a
business Of setting fire to buildings to
enable the owners to collect large sums
of insurance, was the sensational
charge made by State Fire Marshal G..
J. Doyle, in an address delivered be
fore the Chicago Association of Com
merce.
THE country is facing one of the
most gigantic organized arson consplr-
acies the world has ever known" said
State Fire Marshal Doyle. The state
fire marshal department of Illinois has
united with the state fire marshals Of
Kentucky, Tennessee and Ohio to wipe
out the band of Is men at the head
of this arson conspiracy. The head OF
the firebug trust is in Kansas City
from which city the operations of the
entire gang is directed. The tentacles
of this octopus have extended, as the
daring of those behind the plot has
grown, into a dozen or more cities
They have been found at work IN
burg, Cleveland, New York, Bunalo
ST. Louis and other cities.
1.-TWO of the gang have been convict
ed and are now imprisoned in a south
ern city. The others will be behind the
bars before long if we are successful
ing on. The firebug problem is one of
the most important which confronts the
country Even without the cases of
arson the fire losses of the country are
appalling. The fire loss in this country
amounts to about $500 a minute. In
Chicago the loss is 100000 a year,
while in Berlin the annual loss does
not exceed $500, 600. We need to adopt
the fire protection plans of European
cities
Kansas City, Mo-, July 20-If Kan
sas City is the headquarters for an
arson trust, as was declared by State
Fire Marshal c. J. Doyle, Of Illinois
before the Chicago Association of Com
merce. the police here have never
learned of the fact Chief of Detectives
S. W. Zickefoose laughed at the state
ment and declared it TO be a mistake
ITO think that an arson trust has
Headquarters here is laughable,'' CHIEF
Zickefoose said. flor if any evidence
has ever been found that would tend
to prove such facts, it has not been
given to the police department. be-
iieve if anybody had such evidence my
department would be the first to hear
of it. There may be an arson trust in
Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennes-
see. but I believe that Mr.. Doyle is
mistaken as to the city which is the
headquarters for the band"
Other officials here were equally in
credulous as to the merits of Mr..
Doyles charge.

QUAIL WHIPS OLD GoBBnER.
Turkeys No Match for Smaller Bird
and Brood.

Bellaire. Kan, July Civilian Eus-
tace, who keeps a lot of turkeys to
kill of the grasshoppers on his farm
near here, saw a commotion among a
flock of the birds in a wheat stubble
field. Approaching the turkeys he
found them grouped around what he
at first believed was a snake. Instead.
however. ne found the turkeys had
surrounded a mother quail and her
young, and in the center a gobbler. the
leader of the flock, was engaged in
fierce combat with the old quail.
The little quail hid in the stubble
while the mother fought it out. She
was on the gobbler's back like a flash,
pecking away fiercely at his eyes and
comb, and again she would dash in his
face with terrific force and beat him
with her wings. In a short time she
mad him whipped to submission and
running for dear life, not however be-
fore the other turkeys had eaten two
of her young. The gobbler, nursing his
wounds and apparently greatly crest
fallen, has not ventured into the stub
BILE field since.

ONE MORE JOKER"
Another Stumbling Block in
Fuel-Oil Proposition.
If Present Franchise Is Granted,
City VIII Pay Price.
FOR SPECULATION?
Charges Made Against Cheno-
weth Of Kansas City.
Wanted-A Company to Build a
Topeka Fuel Plant.
SPECULATION?

Dodging out of what they consid-
cred one Joker franchise. the city
commissioners Of Topeka have jumped
into what looks like another. From
the statements made by =. W. Lewis,
who has been trying for three months
to install q fuel oil plant in this city
I. N. Chenoweth of Kansas City, who
is now attempting to procure an oil
franchise, IS simply working" the
city commissioners for franchise
that VIII net him a good sum as
speculation.
D. W. Lewis who was branded by
Chenoweth as unreliable. now comes
back with the charges that if Cheno-
Weth of Kansas City secures the fuel
oil franchise in this city, the citizens
of Topeka will have to furnish the
funds to build the plant.
In other words, the city officials in
attempting to bring cheaper fuel to
Topeka have started row among oil
and burner men that viii III the end
disgust the people and ruin the conf
deuce of the city officials in the men
who are applying for light to build
q fuel-ol pumping planF.
The city commissioners are willing
70 do almost anything to give Topeka
cheaper fuel. With the prospect of
raise in the gas rates this winter the
officials realize that if anything is to
be done. it must be done at once.
The first man to apply for fran
chise to build plant in Topeka and
lay mains over the city fo- fuel oil
was T. n. Chenoweth of the Burner
Crate Manufacturing company of
Kansas City. Then, after an alleged
meeting of the men of that company,
It was decided that D. W. Lewis
should take out the franchise D. W.
Lewis was also a representative of the
Burner Crate people of Kansas City.
When 1t looked as thougs- the fran
chise would be granted to Lewis, the
weth. Chenoweth said Lewis didn't
have anything to do with the franchise
and was not authorized to procure it
for his company.
Then the commissioners decided to
make out the franchise to Chenoweth-
Now it is claimed that Chenoweth
is after the franchise for speculative
purposes. D. W. Lewis says if the city
commissioners grant the franchise to
Chenoweth, it means that the citizens
of the city will have to subscribe to
a stock company to build the plant
OF else Chenoweth will peddle the
franchise around the country as an
"easy proposition"
d. W. Lewis claims h. is backed by
r. T. WOODBURY., a we'll known attor-
ney Of Holton. and by NJ. II. Hitch
cock Of Kansas City. He says he will
install a plant in Topeka without the
aid OF one cent from The people of
the city.
The city commissioners are between
two hres-and they are oil fires at
that.

NEGRO HUNT IN WISCONSIN.
Farm Work Has Been Suspended in
Several Townships.

Lacrosse. Wis, July 2o.-The search
for Edward Robinette, the young
negro farm hand who last night shot
and seriously wounded Silvia Price, the
pretty daughter of his employer, who
had repulsed his advances, went on all
night without result.
In all the townships north of La
Crosse on the Wisconsin side of the
Mississippi for 80 miles farm work has
been practically suspended while the
people have turned out by the thous-
ands to hunt the negro. It is expected
that the fugitive will be captured to-
day. His fate may depend on whether
the officers or the farmers find him
first. Miss Price is better today and
is expected to recover.
