GETS WEE fire BUG.
East Side Youth said to Have Set
Many Fires.

New York, June 22.-Isidor Stein
reuter-, an East side youth of diminu-
tive stature, is under arrest here to-
day charged by the fire marshal with
being the head of a widely ramified
fire bug syndicate" and of having
started more than 800 fires in this
city in the last five years. Isidor,
When by the marshal on. a
fire escape on 11Sth. street, was smok-
ing a cigarette and watching the pan
ic and distress caused by a tenement
house fire in which the ives and
property of eighty persons were in
danger. He is charged with having
started this fire in conspiracy with
Samuel Gold, in whose flat the fire
occurred, and who is also under ar
rest.
The fire bug syndicate which the
marshal now hopes to is said
to be composed of a number of East
side fire insurance brokers and adj
justers, a few underworld characters
and a swarm of runners whose vo-
cation is to .appoachs East side tene-
ment dwellers who are door and cas-
ily tempted into dishonesty, and whom

swindle of the fire insurance compan-
les by -over-insuring he'll few sticks
of furniture and allowing the "oper-
~atives'' of the syndicate to set the
furniture on fire.
The average price charged for start
ing a fire is about $25. According to
the fire commissioner, 25 per cent of
the fires in New York city r of in
cendiary origin.

cupied the most prominent box in the
great hall, and who were gazed upon
by thousands who had k their
opera glasses for this spectacle.
Every Kansas Republican present
must admire the loyalty of Governor
Bailey and Mr.. Crane of the First dis
trict for President Taft. These two
men declared there was nc thought OF
compromise by the Taft forces. Gov
ernor Bailey said if such proposition
finally was considered it would have

Governor Stubs. one of the seven
governors who put Roosevelt into race
baked at a bolt when he realized what
it would do to him in the coming cam
paign for senator. Col. Roosevelt,
understood. was very mad because
Stubs, Hadley and others would not
agree to bolt.
THE Hadley demonstration lasted 40
Chauncey Depew, of New
York, told Senator Dick of Ohio to sc

a chair flirting with Mrs. Davis, the
Chicago woman who was waving a pic

guess the governor was flirting, for NJ
was waving his handkerchief at Mrs.
Davis. When I see a man throwing MS

that he is flirting with her.

tangled" sane Fourths. The small boy
who has been accustomed to the ma
tional pleasure of placing the dish par
urder the bed room window will have
to employ other methods to make life
miserable for his household and the
neighborS.
And still the youngsters should not
blame Mayor Billiard. The mayor Is
simply carrying out the reading of the
city ordinances. They have to blame,
n" other than their old time friend,
Buffalo" Bone the city commissioner
who brought the wild inhabitants OF
grandfather of the sane-Fourth ordi-
nance in effect in Topeka and he must
assume all responsibility-for the small
boy forgets not.
But this isn't all. The mean old city
officials refuse this year to start a fund
Tor a Fourth of July celebration. Last
year, 1t will be remembered, they con-
tr1buted 800 toward a fund for the
of giving a pyrotechnicaI-this
Is a word the mayor-uses Just because
nc Is running for governor-display.
P~yrotechnleaI, kids, means Roman
candles, -skY-rockets; niger chasers
and all that s0ft-a-thing
fourth one week from
Ihursday. Not one kid outroft ten in To-
peka knows just when it, is. Why? Be
cause the stores have not been display
ing fireworks in their windows and be-
cause the big fat policemen are aching to
lay their hands on some boy Who darcs to
ngh a free acttar inside The city limits.
1t is bad enough, kiddos, for the city
nall officials to draw-upa an ordinance
against the shooting of fireworks-but
here they are ruling against tre stores
selling the pops in Topeka. A few of the
kids in town WHO know that their dads
send to Kansas City or st. Joe for tink-
ling rafting boxes of something will have
to follow suit il they wish to buy fire
works this year.
The city ordinance covering the sane
Fourth says that every person violating
any of the provisions of the rules shall
be deemed guilty of a m~isdeIneanor and
shall De fined not less than +nrce dollars
and net more than fiftv dollars for each
ofense. This is pretty expensive means
to celebrate the greatest national holiday
of the year.
There is only one thing tc do this year,
kids-allow mother to put on that stiTf
shirt and that fluffy tie, and those tight
shoes and that fussy hat-and-well go
out walking with dad ano her down 10
the park vheIe with glee you can watch
the little fishes and the swans. Gee, but
that is fun! And If you can't curb that
natural red blood that pumps through
your veins-go out in the Kitchen and
blow up a paper sack. That is the only
legal way to get. around Mayo Billiard
and his think-they're-smart policemen.

Hard Work of Seamen Keeps Blaze

New York, June ga successful
five-hour fight to prevent a fire at
sea spreading to large consignment of
coal oil in barrels stored nearby is
reported by Captain Bubarich of the
steamer Emilia, just in from Medi-

on Wednesday morning in n of the
holds containing cotton waste vege-
table fiber and 200 barrels of coal oil.
All hands fought desperately to keep
the blaze from reaching the oil,
which was stored forty feet aft of
where the fire was burning. After
five hours hard work the blaze was
extinguished. Most of the cargo in
the hold was ruined.

EXPERIMENTAL
The second type of motor is a
step in the right direction, but its
cost runs the price of cars up so
high as to make it available only
by builders of extremely high
priced cars.
And at best, many of these
motors are not perfected yet. The
oldest and best has a record of
some five n six years of use and
has been adopted by approximate
ly sixteen or seventeen makes of
very expensive cars.
What does all of this mean?
Simply that the repeated attempts
to get away from valve troubles
only demonstrates the true worth
of a valveless engine. Modern
motor development, both here and
abroad has been turning toward
valveless construction for several
years past.
AGAIN., THE ONLY WAY
TO DO AWAY WITH VALVE
TROUBLES IS TO OWN A
VALVELESS MOTOR CAR.

/. Cars equibed with p0ppet
TnIUe motors.
IN SLIGHT DETAIL

The first type engine still pre-
dominates in the cars sold today.
A peculiar state of affairs is
responsible for this fact. Manu-
facturers have millions invested
in the production of such motors.
They realize their shortcomings,
but their attempts to get away
from valve troubles so far have
been unsuccessful. Such attempts
as have been somewhat successful
make it impossible to market
their car at a reasonable price.
The principal reason for the
repeated attempts to develop a
motor radically different from the
poppet valve type is the constant
trouble and expense to the owner
necessary to get efficiency out of a
motor so complicated in its mech
anism that it is a wonder it works
at all. The public has been seek
ing a simple efficient motor for
some time. The time is here
when their mild inquiries are
taking the form of a demand.
THE ONLY WAY TO Do
AWAY WITH VALVE TROU-
BLES IS TO OWN A VALVE
LESS MOTOR CAR.
