finish brims. The bowl-shaped hat is
leading favOrite. Trimmings are placed
on the under side of the brim of these

with the small. fine flowers. and some
times long steamers appear at the

GREEN IS GIVEN FINE
Assessed S. and Costs for
Beating Pohlmeyer.

AS a result of the fistic encounter
Thursday between Herbert Green, a
local liveryman, and Henry Pohlmey-
er, of the undertaking firm of Wilson,
Pohlmeyer and Downing, Green was
fined IS and costs in police court this
morning for assault and battery.
Green has been a sworn enemy to
what he terms the undertaking
trust in Richmond. The evidence
against Green was solely on the part
of the state. the defendants attorney
cross-examined the witness, but he did
not introduce witnesses for the de-
fense.
Pohlmeyer went to the office Of
County Health Officer King Thursday
morning for the purpose of obtaining
burial permit. When he was re-
turning he passed Green's office and
was accosted by Green, who accused
him of telling residents of West Rich
mond that the liveryman's coaches
had disagreeable odor. A fight fol-
lowed.
Mayor Zimmerman at first refused
to act as judge because he had been an
intimate friend of Green. He wished
to appoint a special attorney to try the
case, but the attorneys for the state
and defendant said that he could give
a fair decision, compelling him to act.

WATER MAINE BROKE
DURING BIG BLAZE
Van Camp Packing House
Burns-Loss Will Amount
to About 100000.
(National News Association

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 16.-Efficient
work by the Indianapolis fire depart
ment saved the Van Camp Packing
Company's plant, Kentucky avenue and
White river, from complete destruc-
ton by fire this morning, and confined
the fire to the manufacturing building,
where the loss was estimated at $780,
900 to $350,000. The fire broke out in
the boiler room of the plant shortly
after 4 o'clock, and was discovered by
night watchmen, who turned in an
alarm.
Hardly had the firemen started to
work on the flames than a twenty-inch
water main burst in Pennsylvania
street, in front of the Denison hotel,
and thus shut off the water pressure
had no water with which to fight the
flames, and although up to that time
they had been making progress in sub
DUNG the fire, this gave their efforts
serious check.
The flames gained new headway,
but when the water pressure was re-
sumed the firemen succeeded in get
ting the fire under CONTROL and confin-
ed it to the factory building.
Van Camp Makes Statement.
Frank Van Camp, president of the
Van Camp Packing company, at the
fire early, said the building destroyed
was the one in which all of the pro-
ducts were canned and made ready for
shipment. He said the output of the
plant was about 25O,000 cans of all
kinds of goods a day, and that at the
time of the fire there were probably
two million to three million filled cans
in the building.
The canned goods consisted of
beans, corn, peas, tomatoes, milk
beets and many other kinds of vegeta-
bles and other products and when fire
was raging throughout the building
cans began to explode. For more than
an hour there was constant rattle of
explosions. The cans flew high in the

near the boiler room, but that in the
particular part of the building there
had been no fire, and that the plant
was heated by steam. When the night
watchman discovered 'it the fire had
a good start, and it was not long un-
til the flames broke through the roof.
The factory building was a four
story brick. 1t was at the west end of
the group of buildings which consti-
tute the packing plant. The factory
building was separated from the stor-
age and shipping plant on the east by
doubZle fire wall, and it was to keep
the fire from penetrating these walls
and attacking the east building that
the firemen devoted most of their en-
ergies. The fire walls prevented the
total destruction of the plant, with a
loss of probably 100000.
