ITS VAIN sQUIRMrNGs.

IT is in vain that the Smoot organ
protests that ii seeks to snbserve the
public interest in its attack upon War
den Pratt, and its uproar about the
temporary escape of Parry from the
penitentiary, Its motive from the
first has been perfectly clear and evi
dent to every one. Its intent has been
to create political prejudice and to give
vent to its own partisan righteousness.
and its desire to iujure individuals and
to falsify the facts in the case.
1t has undertaken TO quote two of
the penitentiary guards as authority
for what it said. One Of these, Mr..
Gray, denies absolutely that nc made
any statement whatever TO that paper,
or any of its representatives. He stated
emphatically that the purported inter
view with him, rs carried in the Smoot
organ, ''is absolutely false and with.
out foundation from start TO finish.
He makes this statement voluntarily
and under oath: explaining further
that no one has influenced him or in
Inundated him in any way to make that
tirely of his own volition, and that he
has not received advice or instruction
from any ono as to the making Of it.
This absolutely disposes Of everything
the Smoot organ claims to have re-
ceived by way Of information or inter
view from Mr. Gray
The other guard, whom the Smoot
organ has been relying upon and whom
it quotes, is Merrill, who is under ar
rest for active participation in the
escape Of convict Parry. Here again
the Smoot organ gets severe rebuff.
this time from its own man, for Mr..
Merrill says distinctly that the report
in that paper misrepresepted every
thing that he told its reporter. And
Merrill affirms as TO the Smoot organ
reporter that she had no business
hitching my name on anything
This, then, disposes absolutely of the
purported statements carried in the
Smoot organ on the alleged authority
Of the two guards named. In one case
the interview is absolutely repudiated
as manufactured out of whole cloth and
nothing of it coming from Gray. In
the case Of Merrill. complete misrep.
resentation is claimed by Merrill as TO
what was printed in the SmOot organ,
and he states emphatically that no one
had any business to quote him as to
these statements.
The shame of paper being caught
in predicament like this, manufactur
ing false evidence TO support its mali
cious charges. is evident TO every one,
and cannot fail TO strike the commu-
nifty as a most shameful and indie
fensble piece Of dishonest journalism.
In this whole matter the Smoot organ
has burrowed 10 a depth of degrade
tiou and iuiquity which it had not
reached in any Of its previous dishou-
ored and spectacular exhibits. The
organ is utterly discredited upon its
own showing. 1t stands abased and ut
terly humiliated in the public eye of
this community, but it's degradation
has been so persistently sought by 1T
self. that there can be no possible eX
cu.e or palliation urged in its behalf.

DIVIDING THE SPOnS.

When the Balkan allies concluded
their successful war against the Turks,
they had overrun and conquered about
$4,000 square miles OF the Turks pos
sessions. Bulgaria proposed in the di-
vision to take about "a 900 square miles,
leaving Servia $4,000, Greece II 900. and
Montenegro 1000. Servia and Greece
demurred, demanding moro equal d-
vision. Servia asked to be accorded 80
per cent more than Bulgaria gave her,
and Greece held that she should have
considerably more than twice the area
apportioned by Bulgaria. This would
still bavo given Bulgaria more than
half OF all the land TO be added to the
area Of the respective states by the
war. Bulgaria's proposition was also
cIorbitant when reckoncd on the pro-
portionatc area of the allied states be.
fore the war began, and on that ac-
count also the other allies were quite
justified in demurring to the Bulgarian
plan Of division Greece was especially
strenuous as to Saloniki, and after the
success Of Greece and Servia as against
Bulgaria. Greece also demanded that
Bulgaria should give np all claim to

JULY FIRE LOSSES,

The fire losses in this country and
Canada the present year 10 date are
somewhat below the losses for the
corresponding seven months Of the
two years past During the seven
months Of the present year, the fire
loss has amounted to S139, 800; in
1912 the loss in the corresponding seven
months was $l49. 9.59l 800; in 1911 for
the corresponding seven months the loss
was $154, 1892, 300 So that as compared
with 1911, the lesscned fire loss the
present year amounts to over $4,000
900. This is substantial decrease, and
undoubtedly the crusade with respect
good effect.
During the month Of July, the fire
losses this year amounted to $20,660,-
900, compared with $l5,219,10 in July
of 1912, and 25,301, 100 for July, 1911,
a bad showing for the month, as com
pared with last year, but good com.
pared with the year before.
During the month of July, lust past,
there were 32S fires throughout the
country, where the estimated property
damage reached or exceeded $4,000. OF
these, 113 fires caused a loss of from
$4,000 to 100000 damage; 81 caused
loss of $4,000 to $4,000; 43 caused
loss Of 100000 to $4,000; 3S caused
loss of $4,000 to $4,000; 90 caused
loss Of $751; 900 to 100000; 81 caused
loss of 100000 to 100000, and 10
caused loss in each case of 100000
and over OF the 10 large fires during
the month, the following were the most
serious from a fire-insurance stand
point:

 Talcott H. Russell, of the Srd dis trfct, was a member of the comrnis- sion which drew up a bill for work mems compensation under an act of the general assembly of 1911s and this bill was one of three which re- ceived consideration from the com rnfttees on labor and the Judiciary at the recent session.
 MT. Buckingham is a former mayor and former city clerk of Bridgeport, and Frederick Nj. Williams for the Fdfth district is an attorney.
 Under the workmenss compensation law the commissioners take office three months in advance of the efec- tive operation of the compensatory features of the law. The purpose of this is to give the commissioners the time necessary to formulate rules for guidance of their office as there is an immense amount of work to be done in preparation for adJusting claims under the law.
 It is expected that in the time be- tween October and January 1 the commissioners will meet to discuss means of uniformity in procedure. Each commissioner will have to or ganize his office and provide equip ment and the early announcement of the personnel of the commission was made by the governor to give the ap- pointees ample time in which to pre- pare for assuming the duties Of their office.

 Mrs. Dedriu went on the stand and admitted she visited Anta's rooms two or three times week after he moved from her house but said she only went there when calling upon a neighbor. Mrs Dedri11 also admitted that she eIoped to omaha with Anta, but declar- ed she went because her husband told her to. The trial was still on at press hour.
