FIRE PARTLY DESTROYS
MISSISSIPPI GROCERY

Fire of unknown origin partially
DESTROYED the Mississippi grocery at
Fifteenth and Van Buren, streets
shortly after midnight this morning.
and but for hard work on the part
of the fire department would have
wiped out the entire structure.
The fire, when discovered by the
driver Of a passing automobile, had
already spread from a kitchen in the
rear. where it evidently started to
the roof, and by the time the APP
paratus reached the scene in response
to telephone alarm the entire top
of the two story building was in
flames. Prompt action saved the
greater part of the stock of groceries,
the damage to the goods being prin-
cipally from smoke and water
Proprietor Roland and his wife, who
were asleep in the rear of the build
ing. were unable to account for the
origin of the fire, and knew nothing
of it until aroused by those who
gave the alarm by breaking in the
front door of the store. The con-
tents were partially insured to the
amount of $3.50 The building is own
ed by Louis J. killeen.

Most people who have followed the case at all are
no doubt satisfied with the verdict of acquittal
Saturday in the of w. w. Cleary, the clerk of
Haverstraw, New York. charged with the killing of
his son-in-law Newman, who he did not know
yet his son-n-aw, but who he knew had corrupted
his daughter. In these circumstances under the plain
unwritten law majority of American citizens would
doubtless excuse the defendant and would, moreover.
hold him blameless for not knowing that Newman,
as far possible had endeavored right the wrong
he had committed.
Under the written law, the wrong which the clerk
Of TIaverstraw believed that he his family had
suffered, was Il warrant for the killing of New
man. The law does not permit private vengeance.
The defense is usually temporary insanity, induced
by extreme provoeation, that the defense becomes
insanity, and that is a sufficient ground which
the defendant should elect stand fall.

A LOST CONTINENT
groundless

The experience of the Macmillan expedition on
the frozen Polar adds another mystery to the
annals of the vast Arctic regions. In 1906 Rear Ad
mral Peary discovered continent $50 miles
from Cape Thomas Hubbard. in longitude 100 west
and latitude SO north and named it Croker Land.
A year a half ago Macmillan and his party
explore it. They journeyed 1900 miles across
the ice, only to find that il gone

further details forthcoming. 1t Will be remem

precarious thing upon which to depend in the Polar
regions. Macmillan and his companion also had
visions of land in their journey the Polar

TO THE lEGIONS OF GOOD FELL
LOWS-YOUR CHRISTMAS
WORK is AT HAND

1t becomes the pleasant privilege of
the Tribune this morning to sound its
sixth annual call to the Christmas
Good Fellows. Little more than
month remains in which to organize
this vast resource of kindness into an
efficient agency for carrying holiday
happiness into those byways of Chica-
so and its environs which know too
little OF the blessings of life
Tens Of thousands of readers of the
Tribune have been enlisted in the army
of Christmas Good Fellows since the
time-Decembor 10, 1909-when the
Original Good Fellow called at this
office with letter which said in part:
Last Christmas and New Years
Eve and spent from $40 to $2O0.
Last Christmas morning over 5000
children aWoke to an empty stocking
the bitter disappointment that Santa
Claus had forgotten them.
Perhaps it wasn't our fault We had
provided for our own. But they seemed
far off and we didn't know where to
find them. Perhaps in the hundred
and one things we had to do, some of
us didn't think of the heart sorrow of
the child over the empty stocking"
Remember the letter? of course you
do. The wave of cheer started by that
letter rolled out into the darkest cor
ners of Chicago!
And every year Size then the Tribune
has made an appeal at this season
based on the original lteter or the orig
inal unnamed Good Fellow. And thou
sands of the same type of unnamed
Good Fellows have filled empty stock
ings by sending little of the money
that might have gone for useless
things
This year the war came. and with it
temporary hard times. And the suffer
ing was visited upon the poor. To the
Tribune made its emergency appeal
several weeks ago TO the great un-
known brotherhood of Good Fellows to
get out carly and help.
The United Charities tcstifies to the
noble generosity of the response. Thou
sands of unnamed Good Fellows are
providing for the daily wants of thou
sands of Chicagos worthy poor. This
work will 30 on without interruption.
At the same time there is now before
us the specific, joyous duty of bright

Chldren's Day, There must be
Christmas jubilee, beyond and above

WAR BURNS UP MONEY

Every time big gun is fired c 800
goes in smoke and a splash, and there
are 372 such guns in the fleet which
Admiral Callashan led out of Spthcad
recently. Torpedoes cost ten times as
much. but they have the advantage
from the taxpayers point of view, that
they can be picked up again after they
have been fired in practice
Many of the big ships burn oil fuel
as an auxiliary to their coal. or at
least are fitted for that purpose, but
there are 127 torpedo craft besides the
submarines which burn oil fuel aloip
in the aggregate their tanks and double
of fuel, for which we have TO pay 81 a
ton.
Coal is not so expensive. but it does
not go as far. II the twenty
dreadnaughts now in full commission
