FIRE AT SING SING PRISON.
About 200 convicts Help Fight the
Flames.

Ossining, N. Y, July 22.-Fire late
this afternoon started in the mat shop
at Sing Sing prison and quickly spread
to the lumber, carriage and wagon
departments and the ice house. These
buildings were destroyed at an esti-
mated loss of S150,OuO.
About 200 convicts aided In pre-
venting the flames from spreading
to the prison proper. Warden Clancy
said none of the prisoners attempted
to escape. Several entered the fire
zone and rolled barrels of gasoline
and ben2ine to a safe distance. Ths
other prisoners, over 800 in number
were marched to their cells. The
origin of the fire is unknown.

MUST PAY DEBTS
OR LOSE jOBS
CLERKS IN GOVERNMENT DE-
PARTMENTS MUST PAY AL
OBLIGATIONS.

Washington, July 22.-Clerks in The
government departments either mus
pay their debts or relinQuish theil
jobs. The latest department to am-
phasize this order is the war depart
ment and an order signed by Secre-
tary Garrison is being handed 20 al
the employees today. The order says
that creditors and collectors will be
denied access to employees" during Of
flee hours and adds:
But while the department will not
permit itself to be used as a co!lec-
tion agency, it will not consider as a
fit employe anyone who contracts a
debt and then without sufficient ex-
cuse neglects to make payment"
1t was denied at the department
that there was any epidemic of bad
debts among the employees and the
statement was made that the order,
an old one, merely was called to the
attention of the clerks. Similar reg
ulations are in force in Me depart
ment of state, agriculture, navy, in
terror and commerce, but they are
not considered so drastic in effect
as the Interpretation of the order
issued by Secretary Garrison.

To Check Boil WeevjI

Washington, d. c., July 22.-FederaI
experts estimate that loss of about
$1OS,OOO,OOO a year to cotton growers
IN Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and
Florida would result from the adopt-
ION of the plan proposed recently
by Senator Smith of South Carolina.
which contemplated the establish
ment OF belt in which the growth
OF cotton should be prohibited by law.
In an effort to keep the cotton boil
weeyil from spreading eastward into
the Atlantic coast states. This con-
clusion has been reached by the de.
partment of agriculture, based on pro-
visions for the elimination OF a strip
about one hundred miles wide down
through Tennessee, Alabama and
Florida.
Experts were prepared to show how
he loss of $1OS,OOO 900 annually
might be offset in part or in full by
he raising of other crops,

chamber of commerce for an appro-
pirate celebration of the twenty fifth
anniversary Of the opening of Oklaho-
ma. 1t was made by Mrs. Frank Null

gests that the chamber use it's efforts
to celebrate the occasion by laying the
cornerstone Of the state capitol build

be laid before the directors and
members and later taken up with
state officials. The contract will not
be let until some time after January

lent after that to allow the contractor
to have enough of the foundation laid
to allow the laying of the corner
stone.
