SETS FIRE To JAIL
Babe Smith, Husky Negro,
Tears Up Bull Pen Again.
Timely Work of Night Men
Saves City Prison.

An apparent attempt of James
(Babe) Smith. held on a charge of be-
ing drunk and disorderly, to burn
1880 o'clock this morning by night
men at the police station. Smith was
arrested by Officers Ward and San
ders about 10 o'clock Thursday even
ing at his home 1886 Buchanan
street on complaint of his mother.
Smith has been known to make con-
siderable resistance when arrested but
Thursday evening he was docile until
placed in the bull pen.
A half hour later night men at the
station heard a disturbance in the pen.
investigation disclosed the fact that
Smith had torn up things generally"
the floor-some of them DANA ged-
Some of the hunks We're in place.
Some were not. Smith was then
placed in cage at one end of the
pen. The smell of burning rags,
frantic cries from the prisoner and
smoke rolling through the door of the
bull pen, warned the night men that
Smith had started another rumpus.
When a cop lunged into the place a
mattress was ablaze 1t was seized
and thrown into the rock yard. For
the remained of the night Smith was
not allowed mattress. This morning
he was tame and begging for a doctor.
He is negro. According to the
police. one of his favorite pastimes is
starting rows in the holdover. Not
long ago he stood off a small army of
cops and prisoners with Jumps of coal
and the water hose, in the pen.
This is the second time in the last
year that an attempt has been made
by prisoner to burn down the Jail.

cided upon, but will be either the lat

physician, and Dr. Lydia DeVilbliss,
have the plans in charge.
The exhibit will be held in the Audi
forum, but while there will be an ex-
hibit, there will not be a collection of
babies on display. 1t will not be a
baby contest.
Babies will not be stuck up on
sticks to be gazed at by a gaping
public" said DR.. DeVilbliss. Babies
are not curiosities, and 1 have no en-
thusiasm for contests as to whether
Smith has a better baby than Jones.
What 1 am interested in is whether
both Smiths baby and Joness baby
are as good as they should be-
Babies will be scored and baby
hygiene meetings will be held. In
terest in making babies better will not
cease with the close of the week, if
plans of DR.. Wood are carried out.
The purpose of the exhibit is to start
interest which will be maintained
constantly. Systematic work will be
conducted in each school district. In
three school districts better baby
meetings are now being held, and it is
planned to extend the work to all
parts of the city.

Payments by the Santa Fe
Show a Steady Decline.
From 2.53 Per Cent of Gross
Receipts in 1908 to SO.

The success of the Santa Fe loss and
damage movement, started IN l9Oo,
was clearly shown in a report today.
following the meeting of the loss and
damage men of the eastern district,
eastern lines. Santa Fe men met in
the office of r. ]. Parker, general SUI
perintcndent, Thursday. The system
meeting will be held the latter part of
September in Wichita
1t was shown that in 1908, the
year the movement was organized, the
Santa Fe paid out in payments due to
freight losses or damage, 2.53 per cent
lowing years: 1872 per cent in 1909;
16O, 1919, 1.52, in 1911; 1.31, in 1872,
1.21, in 1913; LOS, in 1914 and SO in
1915.
That record is only equaled by one
other line, the Pennsylvania railroad,
which paid out Go per cent in freight
losses in 1915. But as the Pennsylvania
is largely a coal and ore carrying road
the comparison favors the western
line. Very little damage claims are
caused in the transportation of coal.

HOME FROM EUROPE.

The North Carolina has figured
prominently in cable dispatches with
in the past year or so. It was this
ship which was in European waters
shortly after the outbreak of the war,
and which carried lot Of foodstufs
to starving thousands in the war-torn
countries. Not a few times was it
reported that the North Carolina had
been sent to the bottom, and one time
it was reported that the big ship had
been sunk in the Dardanelles. 1t all
ended in proving false rumors, how
ever, and the ship was sent home,
was placed on dock and thoroughly
reftted for use as the station ship
at Pensacola aeronautical station, the
assignment which the big cruiser now
fills.

FRAME
BUILDING LOST
FIRE DESTROYED STRUCTURE
ON EAST BELMONT STREET,
AND BELIEVED BLAZE WAS
WORK OF A FIREBUG.

At 9:35 o'clock last night fire burst
from the l4rge two-story frame build
ing at 112 East Belmont street, and
before the department reached the
scene, the place was almost wrapped
in flames. The building was unoc-
cupied, and the police and fremen
last night stated the blaze was the
work of frebug, as it was alleged
several attempts had been made to
burn the building in the past.
The building, it was stated, was
last used as a secondhand furniture
store, and for many months had re-
NAMED unoccupied. The flames
leaped high in the air as the struc-
ture continued to burn, and cast a
lurid reflection which was seen IN all
parts of the city. This caused large
crowd to go to the scene before the
firemen succeeded in congfning the
flames to the one building, which
however, was a total loss.

ters."
The Evening Standard speaks of
the GOODNESS shown everywhere but
warns the public against the 4'no-
ticeably widespread and dangerous
disposition to regard the affair as a
species of spectacle"
It suggests that in addition to the
Zeppelin, which within limits sis a
terrible instrument of war;" there is
also danger from anti-aircraft guns.
Therefore, the public, it says, would
be well advised to take aerial visitors
more seriously than it did last night.
Last nights official statement con-
corning the airship raid stated that
the Zeppelins visited the Eastern
counties aud the. London district"
English newspapers are prohibited
from publishing unofficial details
concerning such attacks, but the
foregoing guarded references indi-
cate that the Zeppelins approached
the heart of the city more closely
