BOMB CAUSES FIRE
Half Million Dollar COnflagra-
ton Destroys Seattle Pier.
War Munitions for Allies Lost
in Big Blaze.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 29.-Fire, sup
posedly of incendiary origin, destroyed
last night pier IA, at the foot of Broad
street, occupied by Dodwen & Com
pany, Ltd, agents for the Blue Fun
mel line of British steamers, with
much valuable merchandise, entailing
a loss that probably will exceed a half
million dollars.
The Japanese and Chinese mer-
chandise that arrived Saturday night
on the steamer Ixion, was still in the
warehouse, 100000 worth of silk
brought by the steamship having been
sent Besides the merchandise
just landed from the Ixion, a cargo
was being assembled at the pier for
the Ixion's trip to Asia. The IXion
is now at Vancouver and will return
here.
The Blue Funnel steamers have
been taking much barbed wire, ma
chinery and implements of war for
the Russian army The Ixion is booked
to stop at Vladivostok with similar
supplies for Russia. Two deliberate
attempts to destroy pier "A by fire,
were made early last Tuesday. Both
fires were started in piles of highly
inflammable rattan stacked on top of
rolls of white paper, which occupied
a floor space of fifty square feet
Fire department officials said they
believed both fires originated from a
time fuse attached to a bomb.

TAKE TARIFF OUT
McAdOO Says 1t Should Not En-
ter Into Politics.
Politicians Promises About
Tariff All Bunk, He Declares.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 29.-Efforts of
the administration at Washington TO
prevent certain fundamental ques-
tions, such as the tariff, from being
battledore and shuttlecock of party
politics were discussed here by Secre-
tary of the Treasury William G. Nc
Adoo at a breakfast rendered him by
state officials and prominent citizens
of Montana.
1--WE are trying" said Mr.. McAdoo,
ito take certain fundamental ques-
lions out of politics, so that they may
not be party questions in the future
as they have been in the past. Among
them is the tariff.
politicians have gone up and down
the country" he continued, telling us
that their particular party could bring
prosperity. First it was the Repub-
leans then the Democrats. The poll
ticians have been playing this game
of see-saw to get offices, but their
predictions and promises are all bunk
We have not had any real prosperity
in the United States for ten years be-
cause our business outgrew the clumsy
financial system which we have been
talking about correcting for thirty
wears but which we did not get to
until President Wilson insisted on con-
gress taking it up as soon as the tarl11
bill was out of the way"
The infallible test of the value OF a
measure to the general public, he SAID,
was to have il called ''socialiStlc" by
some special interest.

CARMEN TO Be SHOWN
Famous Picture, Little Crippled, To
Be Sure, in Kansas.

Geraldine Farrar's Carmen" was
not rejected by the state movie cen
sors, according to authoritative state
ments in Topeka today. The picture,
however, was severely censored and
Topeka theater managers claimed that
the action virtually resulted in a re-
lection of the film. Under an agree
ment, the picture will be shown in
Kansas with certain eliminations.
In an authorized interview, a To-
peka motion picture man stated that
the picture had been rejected and the
public was led to believe that such
action had been taken. Recent devel-
opmcnts however show that the ac-
ton of state censorS was not as severe
as first reported and that after GER
tain scenes in the opera have been
trimmed. the films will be shown.
