burned to the waters edge, only the

loss was $4,000.
The buildings destroyed were the

shops, which stood on four docks and
covered about two acres. A number Of
tugs and excursion boats, tied up 10
the docks. had narrow escapes, and sew
eral old boats were left to burn. One
hundred and twenty-five men were
thrown out Of employment.
The fire started in the blacksmith
shop. shortly after o'clock. and within
ten minutes had spread to the paint
shop. All of the buildings were OF
frame construction, one or two stories
high. The shipbuilding materials in
the structures helped the blaze spread,

STILL HOLD UP NAME OF MAN
WHO DID ALL THE SWEARING


Hearst-Owens election commits
sioners, Tony Czarnech and Howard
Taylor, yesterday choked off all at
tempts to find out who did the whole
sale swearing of suspect notices in
the First Ward.
Hundreds of suspects" working
men, business men, priests and doc
tors, passed along before the
election commissioners, swearing
to their citizenship. But not one of
them was told who is the person that
swore recklessly that entire polling
lists Of voters are not believed to
be voters.
Bill Stuart, chief clerk, was seen
by a Day Book reporter. He said
something over 6 1000 suspect notices
were sent out in the First Ward. He
explained about 1000 were duplicates
and this would make actually about
$500 people suspected"
Zone man in this Office swore to
most Of the affidavits back of the sus-
pect notices." said Stuart. "The
name of that man can not be given
out. The man. is a member of this
Office. He has followed the law close
ly in what he has done.
''Eiis name can not be made pub
lie. There are reasons. It is a long
story. I cannot go into details.
Great injustices have been done some
voters who are properly qualified and
who have been Inconvenience. Vice
and purity dwell often under the
same roof" ......
In order to find out just how
many vice" voters had been dis
qualified through dragging $500 peo-
pie through the suspect mill, the re-
porter went to the election commits
sioners. Kellarman said less than
ten voters were found in wrong so
they had to be crossed off the poll
books. Czarnech said probably
twenty was the total.

the name should be kept secret OF the
person who has sworn falsely or mis-
takenly concerning thousands Of
voters rights"
At board meeting last night Gar
nech offered a resolution that the g.
900 or more who had failed to ap-
pear before the board be not stricken
from the rolls. It passed. Today
squads of clerks under the boards
direction are out over the First Ward
supposed to be trying to locate those
who paid no attention to the 'sus-
pect" notices. Their names will not
be crossed off, it is said, if they are
found to be bona-fide residents of the
ward. The Hearst Owens clerks de-
eide who is bona-f1de.
Joseph B. David, attorney for can
didates in the First Ward, charged the
wholesale suspect business was a
frame-up originated at a secret con-
ference of six politicians, none mem
bers of election board. Later he will
tell the names, he said.

pecting him. CzaTnecki and Taylor
refused to tell. KeIlarman said he
would like to know. Hoyne then re-
fused to take the oath of citizenship.
1t was intimated he will take court
action.
Rice Wasbrough, Socialist candi-
date for alderman in the First Ward
two years ago, was another "sus-
pect" He said:
"The overwhelming majority Of
the population of the First Ward con-
sists of workingmen and business
men. Only small fraction, perhaps
ten per cent. or less of the voters, is
the so-called vice element.
