ALBERTSON'S HUNCH
 FORECASTS A FIRE
Secretary of Fire Department Before Big Fire "Just Feels It in
 His Bones"

Secretary Albertson. the good looking young man who presldes over the office of the chief of the fire department when Chief Bennett is not in, has had another huuch When Chief Bennett is in Sec retaly Abertson writes letters and does other things for the. accommodation Of the chief.
 Mr. Albertson stated yesterday after noon that he felt it in his bones that there would be fire today. Usually ne has no. excuse to offer for these "hunchese but this time he has one. He says that cold weather is just eomin5 on and the people are beginning to bulld fires, and that someone is going To get careless and start something. Just why he has assigned today as the day for the continuation he has no explanation.
 About two years ago, before he was made secretary, he was stationed at Sta ton No. 1, on Twenty-fourth street be- tween Second and Third avenues Just before the boys went up to bed that night he told them that they would an go down in town that night, meaning that there would be @ fire in the busi- ness section. Asked why he said that ne merely said that he felt it in his bones. Sure enough that night the destructive Cooper fire near the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street occurred, at which a loss of $50,O00 was recorded.
 On the afternoon of September 2I, 1911, he stated to a friend that Station No. 1 would have a residence fire to go to before morning. About f o'clock an alarm came in from Sixth avenue and Twenty-second street.
 Of course he does not have q hunch for every fire, but the boys of the fire da,, bar ssxxrn has a hunch something is going to hap pen.

New York Kisses Snodgrass

The Athletics are not different, nat urally, from the baseball players of the world. But Connie Mack has taught them that you cannot win pennants by spiking your opponents, and that it is not necessary, if you have the goods, to resort to the rough and uncouth methods which have ever been the characteristic of the Giants
 In the series of today Baker has twice been spiked. When Snodgrass, ele- vating his spikes in the game of Tuesday. dug Baker in the arm. the New York fans hlssed him. As the New York fans are familiar with the rowdy tactics of the Giants. the fact that they hissed the exhibition of Snodgrass. known already as the hit by pitched ball man" would Indicate that they resent the purpose of tne Giants to win by any means, fair or foul.
 Because of the very fact that the Ath- letics are winning without spiking the Giants and without playing the old game of being hit by the ball, they are the pop ular favolites, and the man who loves clean sport and fair play is pulling for them, tooth and toenai II. W. R.

Mathewson's Foolish Remarks

There are times, it is said, in which the best of us talk too much. The peer Jess MT. Mathewson has proved no eN- ception to the rule. Did you read what tEe great Christy had to say following the defeat of the Giants at the hands of Eddie Plank? Well. the great Chrsty contends that the defeat was due directly to the ncme run drive of Baker, and that the home run drive of Baker was due to the iuexperience of Rube Marquard.

the caravan route from Mecca to Jeddah on the

food supply at Mecca would be quickly exhausted
and could not be easily replenished
Much excitement caused in Jerusalem by
the discovery that Kerak in flames as could
be plainly from elevated places in and about
the city. Different rumors are current, one of
which is that Kerak is being destroyed by the
Turkish troops because Of the discovery that the
chiefs of the town were secretly in league with
the Bedouins.
Medaba, where the famous mosaic map of the
fourth century of the sacred places In Palestine
was unearthed some years ago. has just been

that Sami Pasha who has recently succeeded in

The large Bedouin population of Palestine and
the region through which the Mecca railway ex-
tends is divided into many tribes If there existed
unity of aim and action among them, their oppo
formidable. For these tribes are often at war
among themselves and there is spirit of or
ganization cohesion among them. But even
as it is they have presented serious problem to
the government
1t is only within few years that the tribes on
the east of the Jordan, opposite Jerusalem the
AdWan and the Benz Sukher have been brought
under sort of loose control and that Kerak has
been occupied by garrison, and likewise the Be-
douins in the south, around Beer-sheba, where
government center was established only recently
At the latter place seraiye has been built and
also mosque to please the Bedouins. small
town has sprung up which is the newest town of
Palestine and is distinguished by being the first
to have water works well as being the site of
the Beer-sheba of Abraham's time. The name
means Seven Wells all Of which have been To-
Gated. 1t is from of these the water is pumped

hold stronger hand over the unruy tribes and
he discontinued the payment of the allowances"
This led the Bedouins to attack the railway sta
tions, tear up the track etc. This in the far
south
The troubles at Karak were precpitated by
attempt of the government to enroll the BedOuins
and dsarm them. This applied not only to the
Nomadic tribes but to the towns people and viii

illustrative Of how this operates occurred the other

It seems premature to attempt to disarm the
people of these towns and villages that are en-
