FIRE THREATENS
MASONIC TEMPLE

An incipient blaze which originated
in the switch rom of the Masonic
Temple late yesterday afternoon va
subdued with only slight damage to
the room. The bIaze was discovered
by Deputy Sheriff H. l. Barker.
The officer, who had pone up to the
hall on business, detected the odor of
smoke. Painters who were working
about assisted in the search and tbc
blaze was discovered in box of Ce-
dar Sweep in the witch room on the
hall.
When discovered The flames had
destroyed one side of the box and
were communicative TO the Dashboard.
1t is believed a careless smoker tossed
a lighted cigar or cigarette into the
box, thus starting the fire, as Cedar
Sweep is said to be not subject to
spontaneous combustion

Superior Judge Cole overruled a de-
murrer of the defendants. City At
torney Hutchins was given % days in

England To Push All
Slackers Into the War
Berlin 5 Comment.

Berlin (via London), Dec. 10.-"Per-
sons who are born in Germany and
become American citizens cannot be
excused for violating the laws of Amer
Iica,' says the Tagebatt, in comment
ing upon President Wilson's message.
Germany would punish persons
from abroad who came here and vio-
lated German laws. But the passion
of commandments to which Pres
ident Wilson refers would not have
been heated to such a point if the
United States, under Mr.. Wilson's
presidency, had endeavored to main
tain honest neutrality.
"This was not done. A great por-
ton of the press not only proclaims
sympathy for France and Great
Britain, which is pardonable, but
wages Wordy warfare against Ger
mans in the most offensive and in
decent manner. President Wilson
hitherto has had little to say
against II.
"Above all, American industry has
'passionately' taken sides in this war
with passionate dollar hunger. There
also President Wilson has looked upon
quietly"
The Tageblatt says it has no desire
to discuss the moral aspects of the
case, but remarks that in view of
what has happened it is no wonder
Germans in America are excited.
The Lokal Anzeiger says that Pres
ident Wilson's words of reproach to
those who passionately take sides in
the war may safely be interpreted as
reference to COMMUNICATIONS.
"Our friends across the water" it
continues, "are men enough to settle
matters with the nations chief with
that fearlessness which in the New
World is accounted one OF the highest
rights of mankind They will not al
low themselves to be outdone in this
virtue by any native born American" ="

LIBRARY OPERATED
W 18th ECONOMY
BY THE BOARD

The board Of trustees of the FL Cen
tro City Library at their meeting held
last night in the Library building had
the following city fathers present:
Mayor A. w. Swanson, Trustees f. W.
Burger and William Egerer, and City
Attorney J. s. Larew. Many matters
were brought up for consideration and
the city officials were well pleased
on the financial report of the library
board, showing that, Notwithstanding
large reduction in the budget APP
piled for last year, they paid out some
81 400 for repairs on the building, not
provided for in the budget. I'm ad-
dition, all bills to November were
paid, including salaries, and none of
the present years appropriations
have been expended Some matters
of legal concern were referred to J.
S. Larew for his opinion.
The president, J. J. Simmons. called
attention to the fact that the county
records did not show that the Library
site had been set aside for perpetuity
for library purposes, and also stated
that there was due to w. T. Bill from
the Library some $400 for the ad-
poining 4 lots. which President Sim
mons desired should be set aside for
library and park purposes in perpe-
tuity, and also requested the members
of the city board Of trustees to bear
In mind that the library board had
called upon them for an appropria-
tion to install a comfort station in the
Library building for men and women.
Trustee Egerer asked many questions
regarding the finances Of the Library
board and commended the board high
ly for their economy and their meth
cd Of handling the finances entrusted
to their care
The librarian was instructed to pun
chase from the lowest bidder the lisf
of books and magazines that had been
submitted and approved by the library
board. The meeting adjourned with
all parties expressing their satisfac-
tion with having attended the meeting
and being posted on how the Library
affairs are being conducted. Trustee
E. w. Burger commended the board
upon the judicious manner in which
they handled the affairs of the Lii
brary.

who left them must have walked ar
an ordinary gait, while those leading
from the house are wider apart and
are more indistinct, which has led to
the belief that in leaving the build
my the walker must have travelled ar
a considerably faster eait, evidently
having been frightened from the
house.
Attempts to fix the identity of the
acid thrower by determining at what
store the fluid had been bought failed
yesterday after poison registration

Woman Is Suspected in
Holtville Acid Mystery

New developments in the Holtville
acid mystery attack upon Tom Potts,
prominent druggist, as he lay asleep,
point the finger Of suspicion at a
Holtville woman, according to the
statement this morning of Sheriff APP
plestill. Officers declined to reveal
the name of the woman.
Il was learned here this morning
that suspicion had centered about ,
women yesterday, although it was
stated today that it had not yet been
established whether the attack was
made by a man or a woman.
, Sheriff Applestill and Deputy Sher-
iff Cummings, who in their investi-
cations yesterday developed new
facts, declared this morning that at
least one of the acid throWer suspects
had been cleared of all suspicion.
Potts declared yesterday that he
knew of no one in Holtvile who bore
a grudge against him and asserted
further than he knew of no person
who would resort to throwing acid
upon him for revenge.
Whether the Holtvlle druggist is
willing to prosecute or not, Sheriff
Applestill intends to continue the in
vestigation in the hope Of discovering
the guilty person.
1T does not matter particle
whether Mr.. Potts intends to prose
cute or not. We are going To con
tinue our Investigations Sheriff Ap-
plestill said today
As "A spur to the capture Of the acid
fiend, an offer of 500 was announced
at HolVille yesterday afternoon for
information leading to the arrest and
conviction of the person responsible
for the crime.
Potts sight will not be impaired,
although it is probable that he viii
bear marks of tn, acid as long as he
lives. It is possible that his hearing
will be impaired, although physicians
cannot yet determine the extent Of
the injury to his ear Part Of the
acid which was dashed in his face
triekled into his ear and if no Sc
rious complications arise Potts will
probably he out in a few days.
Officers believe that the selection
of the unusual kind of acid used in
the attempt upon Potts indicates thai
the person who threw the liquid was
familiar with chemicals, when il be
came known yesterday that a grade
of nitric acid known rs fuming acid,
and the most powerful of , varieties,
had been selected The fun
ing nitric acid is used only on
fuming nitric acid is used only on
rare occasions by physicians as an
antiseptic. The more common nitric
acid which is familiar to mechanics,
is known as the commercial acid.
Chemically pure nitric acid, the sec
ond grade, is sometimes internally ad-
ministered by physicians.
1t is believed that the discovery of
the variety of acid used will prove a
new and powerful link in the chain Of
evidence which is being linked to-
pether bv officers.
Measurements of the tracks left by
the acid thrower were compared yes
terday with the tracks made by a
Holtvile woman whom officers sus-
pected, when it was found that dis
crepancy of several inches existed.
Officers are now discussing the
phase of the crime that the tracks,
made evidently by woman, have
no part in the attempt to destroy
Potts sight. In contradiction to this
theory, however, Is the fact that the
tracks leading to the house are close

AMERICAN RAILROADS-THE
 BALTIMORE & OHIO

Tine Baltimore X Ohio is the patri- arch of all railroads It was the first railroad built for the hauling of pas sengers and general freight and will celebrate it's tooth birthday in 193O
 At that time tke Baltimore X Ohio was oniy fourteen miles long, built of wooden rails with iron straps on them and operated by mule power. Strings of cars were hauled and passengers could travel on it for trifle less than cents q mile. Since then the railroad business has been so perfected by the use of economy. science and finance that it is no longer profitable to haul passengers for less than two and one nali mile. In some ways the world seems to advance diligently backward.
 The Baltimore X Ohio was built by enterprising citizens of Baltimore to compete with the canal trust and to connect the Atlantic ocean with the Ohio River. The system has grown un- til it now has 4,500 miles of line and earns almost S100.0 900 a year. It cost over s65O, 100000 to build. and pays dividends regularly
 The Baltimore X ohio begins at Phi ladelphia. passes under Baltimore and through Washington, which city it reached in 1S35-repeatedly Thence it winds westward along the Potomac riv- er luxuriently equipped with double tracked scenery. through HarperS Fer rv and into the Allegheny mountains. In the old days the trip through the mountains on the E, X O. was fam-
