INSURANCE PAPER
ESCAPES FIRE; MAN
HELD AS FIREDUG
Arrest Follows Probe in Blaze
Which Destroys Waydell
Street House.

Henry Hughes. twenty years
old, was held in $4,000 bail for the
grand jury by Judge Hahn, in the
Third Precinct Court today on a
charge of setting fire to his home at
81 Waydell street on Wednesday last.
Hughes was arrested after an inyesti-
cation into the $1,000 fire which Quilted
the Waydell street house by Detec-
lives Brex, Chenoweth and Bell, of
the Third precinct, and Inspector
William Reilly, Of the Bureau of
Fire Risks
Hughes's arrest on the arson charge
was due to his apparent elaborate
preparations to save his fire insurance
papers. A bureau drawer, contain
ing the papers, was found, unscathed.
in the gack yard after the fire. The
bureau from which the drawer was
taken was badly burned by the
flames
According to the police Hughes
states that tone Of the firemen must
have carried out the drawer" Neigh
bors declare that it would have been
impossible for either a fireman or
Hughes himself to have removed the
drawer before ii was burned. The
room containing the bureau, 1t is
said. was the apparent seat of the
ire and was a mass of flames by the
time the firemen arrived ana before
Hughes appeared on the scene.
Shortly after the arrival of the fire
apparatus. Hughes appeared on the
scene, partially clothed and wrapped
in bathrobe and two bed quilts.
According to the police none of his
wrappings bore the slightest smell of
smoke, and they allege that he wait
ed in the back yard Neighbors say
that he spoke jestingly of the fire
while the firemen were working on
the blaze.
From various papers and account
books, the police declare that Hughes
is in debt to ten instalment houses,
that he owes several months rent
and is heavily in debt to other per-
SONS. Urban Perry. the mans broth
ef-in-law, tells of Hughes being par
ticular to keep his fire insurance paid
up and declares that a short time
ago he ran four blocks after the col
lector to pay his premium.
The police have letters which pass
ed between Hughes and his wife, who
is in another State, which they say
indicate that Hughes was about to
lice from the city. The charred bu- !
rcan, with the one drawer in perfect
condition. was brought into court to- |
day as Detective BreX presented the |
case against Hughes. Hughes pleaded |
not guilty. He was not represented |
by counsel.

BIG GATHERING
OF SUFFRAG|STS
State Members to Hear Lead
ers at Annual Conference
Monday in Y. w. c. A.

The Young Women's Christian As
sociation building at So Washington
street will ring with suffrage
speeches, suffrage arguments and
business pertaining to suffrage Mon
day, when the members of the
Women's Political Union of New Jer-
sey will gather for their annual con-
ference. The morning session will be
given over to important business,
which will be followed by informal
speeches.
1t is. expected that suffragists from
every part of the State will attend,
because Miss Alice Paul, of Mores-
town, chairman of the Congress
sional Union for Women Suf-.
frage, and Mrs. Medill Mccormick,
chairman of the Congressional COM
mittee of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, are to
present their respective methods of
campaign work in this country. When
Miss Paul first worked for woman
suffrage she was with the National
Association, but because she believed
that the movement should be q ma
tional issue and not a local one, she
organized the Congressional Union.
Since then there has been great
deal of controversy between the two
organizations. The National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association be-
lieves that woman suffrage should
come through the States, and with
that aim in view is helping every
State with the campaign and putting
all efforts in that direction
Congressman Eugene +. kinkead
has been invited as guest of honor,
and he will make an after dinner
speech in the evening. Rev. Henry
r. Rose and Rev. Edgar Swan Wiers

THREE KILLED,
SCORE INJURED
Fireworks Plant in Jersey City
Partly Destroyed by
Explosion.
CONTINUED from First Pageo

ings and about 200 feet from the
canal, said that she was thrown
against the iron wall of the building
and held there while the structure
seemed to rock back and forth for
time and then SILVER.
The fire department and all the am
balances in the city were called and
score of persons who seemed to be
hurt were rushed to the Jersey City
Hospital, but with the exception
of John Wood all were soon able to
go home.
The firemen found little to do ex-
cept to assist in the work of rescue,
as no inhammable material, aside
from the fireworks and the raw ma
terial, was kept on the premises, the
explosion had removed all that was
dangerous and no fire resulted.
There was great confusion in the
neighborhoo however, and ;the po-
lice reserves were taxed to the limit
of their powers TO keep the crowds
back Streams of people poured in,
even from surrounding cities, and
the streets leading to the plant were
checked with excited people, many of
them fearful that relatives had been
killed or hurt,
Historical women, whose daughters
or sisters worked in the plant, Were
hardest OF all to handle, and much
the same trouble, only in lesser de-
gree. was experienced at the Jersey
City Hospital, where the injured were
| taken.
Rumors of every sort flew thick
and fast, and not for more than an
hour, when all the employees had been
, accounted for, did the excitement
abate. Even then curious throngs
surged against the fences surround
/ ing the buildings to get q glimpse of
/ the wreck.
/ The explosion caused near-panics in
neighboring factories. The building
of the Robert Griffith Manufacturing
Company, only block away. was
| bombarded with bits of wreckage,
and almost every window was
smashed. while the factory of the
! Novelty Manufacturing Company also
suffered, but in a lesser degree.
superintendent Andrea told the po-
| lice that the explosion must have
been due to gross carelessness on the
I part of some one, as the buildings
were so arranged and equipped that
it was impossible for fire to be COM
municated to any combustiple.
He denied, however, that he had
the slightest suspicion of how the
accident occurred. Kane, one of the
dead men. had been employed in the
plant only three days, but he had
worked in other factories and was
thoroughly experienced in the handl-
ing of fireworks.
The evidence of the wreckage in
| dicated that Kane had been close to
the centre of tn xplosion. His body
was blown to bits and only fraE-
mnts of 1t were recovered. Fhese

The bodies of Zimmerma and

explosion and had not encountered

 State Aid For Fair.
 The ninth annual Arkansas State Fair at Hot Springs has closed with a. deficit probably much larger than nsual,s but. the people of the Vale of Vapors have the consolation of ex- pressiOns of commendatlon from all sides because of the highly successful exposition. Now will come the an nual agitation that Little Rock take over the State Fair and make of 1t 8 great annual exposition in the na- ture of tho TeXas State Falr at Dal- las. At the beginning let it be stated that Little Rock will not consider such a project unless the people of Hot Springs voluntarily express a de- sire to retire in favor of the Capital City. The people of Little Rock rec ognize the great courage and thc fighting spirit of the citizens of Hot Springs, for cnly bull dog tenacity could keep the fair going for the nine years.
 Gov. G. w. Hays now favors state aid for the fair, and if this is grant ed, Hot Springs may continue with it's annual season of festivity, but it is reported that Hot Springs has other things to ask of the legislature, and if they are granted, the State fair might be, surrendered to Little Rock with sigh of contentment.

All state institutions will he asked to supply Gov. G. w. Hays with bud get stating the lowest amount upon which the institslticn may be operatff1 during the year of 1915 and 1916, wlt' all divisions itemized. It is surmlzeo from this that Gov.

 The first appropriations will be for the State Hospital for Nervous Dis eases and Confederate Home, for these institutions must be malntalned They cannot be closed or curtallad Then will come tlsa other eleemosyn- ary institutions. Next comes the state educational institutions, and libera policy for the University of Arkansas will be urged. The agricultural schools were given all the buildings two years ago, and now some much needed buildings will be asked for the University, which has about doubled in attendance in the past ten years. If any great amount of the outstanding indebtedness is to be re tired. the revenue of the state will necessarily be increased, for bed rock in maintenance of the states instl- tutions has already been reached.
