URGES DISARMAMENT OF U. S.
Socialist Speaker Predicts War with
China Otherwise.

Immediate disarmament by the United
States was urged last night by c. F..
Nesbit in an address at Typographical
Temple on the relation of the Socialist
movement to the peace movement. His
argument was that the example set by
this country in maintaining a large
standing army and navy will be followed
by China, our most powerful neighbor
on the Pacific, and will almost inevitably
lead to war with that country.
Mr.. Nesbit said that the movements
of late years for world peace had failed
because they were not grounded on a
system OF economic Justice and he told
of the resolution Of the Socialist party in
Europe to call a general industrial strike
IN the case of a declaration OF war and
thus end the war by cutting of the sup
plies needed for the war.
The question as to whether the refusal
of man to continue his work at the
time of war could be classed as treason
was material for a lively debate. The
speaker also spoke of the disapproval of
American Socialists for any measure that
savors of sabotage or recourse to violence
for the settlement of economic troubles

FIRE KILLS
10 HORSES

About three o'clock this morning
fire was discovered IN the old Treat
Car Wheels plant Railroad avenue
near 14Sth street, East Chicago. which
is now being utilized as a barn and
before the fire could be subdued ten
horses belonging to w. H. Olds and
Ed Allen had been burned up. Four
more belonging to r. w. Clubine of
Indiana Harbor which were in anoth-
er part of the building were saved. 1t
is not known positively how the fire
started, but 1T is thought that the fire
from some hobos pipe or cigarette
was responsible for the blaze. That
part of the building where the Olds
and Allen horses were quartered is
complete wreck nothing remaining
but the end walls the side walls and
roof having fallen In. The building
which of brick with tin roof
was owned by a man named Treat
who lives in Missouri and V. II.
Surganer of Chicago is the agent.
James P. Lewis the liveryman holds
the lease on the property and had sub
let the part that was destroyed to Olds
and Allen to stable their horses. Ac-
cording to Chief of Police Leo Nc
Cormick, hoboes and tramps have made
rendezvous of the place during the
nights and have kept the police busy
all summer chasing them out of their
sleeping quarters there. but ii was i'm
possible to keep the building entirely
clear of them. The loss on the prop
erty and live stock could not be learn
ed this morning but it will undoubted-
ly amount to many thousands of dol
lars. Neither could it be learned how
much insurance was being carried.
Olds and Allen have only recently
gone into the teaming busieess and
had just secured sub contract from
" w. Parker OF Hamond for some
road construction work near Lowell
and expelled to begin work tomorrow
morning. SO it comes as a severe blow
-, to the new firm.

MULES INJURED BY
MOTORIST, RUN AWAY
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Whiting, Ind. July 29.-Atkin and
Tharp. the Whiting grocers. recently
purchased a fine pair of mules of
which they are very proud and which
there often remarked, beat any and
delivery wagon in Whiting. An effort
was made to separate the mules and
work them on different wagons, but to
no avail and it was necessary to con-
tinue working them together,
The span met with an accident on
Saturday, in which one of the mules
was very badly injured and which the
owners fear will mean a permanent
separation for the two animals.
A. NJ Amerman who is employed by
the firm, had been making some deliv
cries at Forsythe on Saturday evening
and was returning home when on In
diana boulevard near the Timm cot
tages in Robertsdale. a speeding
motorcycle was seen approaching
rapidly. but as the machine was on
the wrong side of the boulevard, Mr..
Amerman thought he would cross the
track and go to the other side This
the motorcyclist could not do, owing
to the street car tracks being quite
high at this point. and thought he
would pass the wagon safely. Instead
of this he ran square into one of the
mules and lacerated it most dread
fully.
The escape of the motorcyclist was
nothing short of a miracle, according
to witnesse. The mules started to run
away in their fright and crashed into
"a telegraph post which naturally saw
ed Mr.. Amerman from being thrown
out In addition to the Jack" being
very seriously wounded, the delivery
wagon was badly smashed as the re-
