ANOTHER FIRE ST|RS
 UP THE DEPARTMENT
But 1t Did Not Prove to Be a Very
 Disastrous One

The second of the series of fires that has started the Phoenix department out of some weeks rest occurred on West Buchanan street, yesterday after noon when the devouring element used up a small frame house.
 The alarm was turned in at 80. By the time the wagon arrived at the place, number 327, on narrow side street next a spur to the O'Malley lum- Der company's store lot the highly in flammable house was pretty far gone. Water was turned on the neighboring sheds, as there was no use trying to save anything in the place of the main conflagration
 It is understood the place was un- occupied and contained no furniture. The place was owned by c. M. Scott, perintendent of the M. and P. divi- sion of the Arizona Eastern. He es- inmates his loss at about $1000, there being no insurance, or at least a very little, to offset the damage.
 There is no definite cause assigned, but according to some bystanders it may have started from rubbish being burned in neighboring yards.

the authorities here to take him into custody That was done and Deputy Sheriff Woolf who had known him for a long time questioned him close ly regarding the fire The officer told Yee that he realized that there could have been nothing in the in cendiarism for him but there was a suspicion that he had acted for some one else.
 Yee convinced the authorities that he was innocent of the affair and he was discharged. He went to Tempe and about two weeks ago he was last seen standing at the depot waiting for a train. He told a friend that he was coming to Phoenix. It is not known that he came here at all
 After he had been gone a few days friend asked the city marshal of Tempe to look for him and daily all most he repeated the request he ad ded, "Yee he went to hell all lite"
 The story got out that his life had been threatened by Chinese as sociation at San Francisco in re venge for the destruction of property belonging to other Chinamen in the Ray fire.

.OLD MAN GLOOMI
 VISITS THE Y"
Order is Posted Warning Away "Kid Depart ment' Until Infantile Paralysis Scare is Over. Sec. Graham Coming.

The sight of a bunch of discon- solate youngsters hanging around the announcement board in front of the Y. M c. A. provoked an inquiry into the reasons therefor The gloom was so thick it could have been scraped off with a stick, when the boys gave way to the signboard. All boys under 15 must stay out of the building until further orders. By or der of the city council
 When the scare over infantile par alysis struck town. every place that might by chance contain two boys at once was closed. It surely seemed a shut town to the boys. The Y was one of the first places to re- CeiVe orders to close to infants and upwards to the age of immunity.
 It was with a sad heart the boys man, Roy Tolleson posted that dire sign He knew it would just about bust several and sundry youthful hearts for the owners to be kicked out in that unkind way. But realizing the importance of being strict now rather than sorry later, d solemn set oe young men carefully set the notice and wainted for it's effect.
 At first the pastboard was beaut- fully ignored. Boys came bouncing into the building by scores. only to have their high spirits quenched and their anticipatory joy knocked by the stern order to move along, from the boys man. who looked as though it hurt him more than the elected ones.
 All day long the big rooms lacked the chatter that has grown to be ar association with them The games were idle. the pool and gym empty of lads. deserted by their most enthu- siastic users. And more the insidiOus smell of a disinfectant pervades the oppressively calm atmosphere.
 There is no way of knowing just when the return of boy to his king dcm and joy to the premises will take place It is hoped soon will go forth the call to the wild. Then with an appreciation of what they missed, and a gladsomeness renewed. the kids department will foam into the | with more noise than ever and all will be well again in the Heart Of Boyville."
 By letter, the new secretary, J. Langdon Graham announces his ar rival at the Phoenix Y NJ. C. A. on the morning of August 9. He will he here a day. then leaves for Los Angeles to look up matters before taking possession of the local man factory" Few of the boys will have the chance to meet the new man on this occasion but by the first of the month his affairs on the coast will be disposed of, and he will return for good.

ADJUSTMENTS
THE COLISEUM

Because of the recent ruling made by the board of health prohibiting the appearance of children under the age of fifteen years at the picture shows and various other places of amusement in the city, thus reducing the attendance of the Coliseum, the vaudeville numbers will be cut down However, these two features will be more than ordinarily attractive, thus cOmpensating the patrons of this popular playhouse for any loss that might otherwise accrue.
 The pictures of the Wild West show produced last evening drew a large audience of older persons who seemed to have lost nothing of their youthful enthusiasm for the daring feats of horsemanship exhibited by the riders in Buffalo Bills aggrega- tiOn

PRIVATE MARK USED ON STAMPS
Perforated Identification Is Expected
 to Keep Clerks From Stealing.

The stealing of postage stamps by employees has been the source of heavy losses to business men and corpora tions throughout the United States One of the most deplorable features of this kind of thievery is the ease wl,h which stolen stamps can be converted into money or used without incurring risk or detection, and another is that so many young boys and girls haVo committed their first wrong doing as a result of the temptation to steal stamps either for their own use or to sell
 The postal laws and regulations now authorize the perforatiOn of postage stamps with the private identification mark of the owner. By perforatiOn it has been possible to stop the sale of stamps by dishonest brokers" because they cannot purchase stamps so mark ed without guilty knowledge of the fact that they have been stolen.
 Nearly every foreign country has permitted the perfOration of postage stamps for years England granted permission in 1868, Belgium in 1872, Germany, France, Denmark and Switz- erlard in 1876. Austria Hungary in 1877. Italy in 1890, Japan in 1902 and the Netherlands in 1903. Spain, China, Mexico and Rumania also permit per forations.
 Business concerns in the United States use the mails to far greater extent than the merchants of other countries, consequently this govern ment prints and issues more stamps than any European nation. Postage stamps cannot be guarded like cash. Their nature and purpose have made it necessary to intrust their handling to office boys, mailing clerks, and min or employees. Stamps can be used for small purchases and for private mail matter. and there is absolutely no means of proving ownership of an un- marked stamp. Without some means of identification it has been almost inn possible to obtain a conviction for theft or for receiving stolen goods From the Washington Evening Star.

Tonight Schepps, one of the states most important witnesses in the Ro- senthal murder case, is a prisoner on a technical charge in west side jail under the surveillance of men from the district attorneys office who have orders to allow no one to cOmmuni- cate without credentials from Whit man.
 Schepps will go before the grand jury tomorrow, and he is expected to corroborate the story told by Jack Rose upon which Police Lieutenant Becker was indicted for Rosenthals assassination.
 Schepps reached here today accom- panied by Whitman, who joined Schepps and a party al Albany How essential it seemed to Whitman that he should protect Schepps from police interference appeared tonight when it was learned that Detective Thomas. a police officer who with Assistant Dis trict Attorney Rubin brought Schepps from Hot Springs had received tele- gram from Deputy Police Commission CT Dougherty ordering him to bring the prisoner to police headquarters.
 Thomas, who though a police detec tive, is attached to the district at torney's office, did not answer the telegram until he wired Whitman.
 When the train bearing Whitman, Schepps and party arrived today at the 125th street station. headquarters detectives headed by Detective Hag- garty boarded it and demanded Schepps as their prisoner.
 T will order the arrest of any officer who attempts to take Schepps to police headquarters. Whitman tC Id Haggerty, and you can pre- sent my compliments to your com missioner
 On the trip from Albany, Whitman had long conference with Schepps and obtained from him, he said to- night, a story which materially strengthened his evidence against Becker and the other prisoners, seven in all, whom he expects the grand jury will indict tomorrow.
 He has cOrroborated everything in Jack Roses story, that Rose said Ee would" said Whitman.

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

VENICE, Cal, Aug. 19-Fears for the safety of five men who started what was intended to be a cross country flight in the gas balloon California, which ascended here today were expressed by their friends to- night.

As the balloon disappeared over the mountains to the north it seemed to veer and go towards the ocean. It had not been heard from late tonight and there is a fear that the occupants might be in danger far out at sea.
