While the test was being made on No. q
furnace however. the firemen worked up
the fires on the other furnaces. During
that time the "clean-out door in NO. b
was left open. The increased heat es-
Gaping from the other furnaces into the
smokestack sent the little needle on the
heat chart soaring upward again.
This indicated Chief Engineer Lorch
said, that one door left open for time

was the working of the other furnaces
which caused the change.
The heat chart is revolving paper
disk marked off in various degrees for
twenty-four hours. 1t is operated by the
heat escaping from the furnaces through
the chimney. A small needle makes
line on the disk, showing the exact de-
grees of heat escaping through the CHM

that if theSe is any material change
on the chart. it could result from any
one of a number of causes, such as blow

Barrett was for the second time today
taken to police headquarters and ques-
toned by Inspector Boardman and the
detectives He stuck to his original story
that he left about o'clock and that both
Jett and Webster were in the engine
room. As the officers say they believe
Barrett is telling true story. they de-
clared the body could not have been put
into the furnace at 800 o'clock
Following the questioning of Barrett at
police headquarters today. he was taken
10 the first precinct police station and
held pending the inquest tomorrow. The

be detained.
He was furnished a comfortable bed,
given good food and plenty of newspapers
to occupy his time until he is taken to the
morgue tomorrow morning to tell his
story to the coroner's jury.

Heat Charts Sent For.

Mr.. Lorch has been summoned to at
tend the inquest tomorrow morning at
the morgue. He will take with him all
of the heat charts on which records
have been registered since September

by the detectives that Mr.. Lorch's testi-
mOny is expected to show that no evil
dence can possibly be secured from the
charts to show the. exact time the body
was placed in the furnace.
Following the statement of Frank YER
million. chief boiler inspector of the Dis
trict Yesterday. that the heat chart at
the brewery on the morning of Septem-
ber IL at 3:3O o'clock, showed drop
of about 100 degrees. and in connection
with the statement of Michael j. Barrett,
a helper in the engine room, that he left
Webster and Lentie Jett, the latter
charged by the wife and mother of Web
ster with being responsible for his dis
appearance. in the engine room at 4

A SONG OF HARVEST.

Reap, oh, reap; gather and reap,
Where golden ripples laugh and run,
For the hush of noontide, still and
deep,
Lies on the ripened ears like sleep
Where grain seas greet the sun.
Lift up your eyes, behold
The golden fields, the golden air;
The west winds fleck the swaying gold
With light and shadows manifold
And gold bleams everywhere.
Reap, oh, reap! while the sickles sing
The harvest song of a world at rest;
Reap with rhythmic sweep and swing
Till silence falls with evening,
And peace is manifest.
Lift up your joyful eyes and see
The silver night, with gliding feet
Move from the sunest glimmeringly,
And. priestess of Gods ministry,
Hallow the garnercd wheat.

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way and
it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There Is no need OF this
suffering. You can get rid OF II by a
simple. safe. inexpensive. home treat
ment discovered by DR.. Blosser. who. for
over thirty-six years. has been treating
catarrh successful.
His treatment IS unlike any other II Is
not a spray. douche, salve. cream, or in
haler. but is a more direct and thorough
treatment than any OF these. II cleans
cut the head, nose. throat. and lungs so
that you can again breathe freely and
sleep without that stopped-up feeling that
all catarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the
diseased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge. so that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and
splitting. and at the same time II does
not poison the system and ruin the stom-
ach, as internal medicines do.
II you want TO test this treatment with
out cost, send your address TO DR.. ]. W.
Blosser. 2s1 Walton. street. Atlanta, Ga,
and he will send you by return mail
enough OF the medicine to satisfy you
that It is all he claims for Il as a remedy
for catarrh, catarrhal headaches, ca
tarrhaI deafness. asthma. bronchitis,
colds, and all catarrhal complications. He
will also send you free an illustrated
booklet. Write him Immediately.
