The safety first campaign of the

fruit, to Judge from the many safety

into the various departments Of the
company. A meeting of the safety
first club was held short time ago
and many results have been following
in the wake Of this session.
Following this meeting, the Keokuk
Electric company installed new metal
fire doors at the car barn, separating
the boiler room from the barn proper.
These doors work on the same order
as the asbestos curtain in the thea

fires.
For instance, should the boiler ex-
plode and start a fire. or should a
blaze spring up in the room, when a
certain temperature is reached these
doors automatically close and the fire
is kept out Of the main building.
New electric wiring has been
placed at the gas works and the fire

sary.

PIER DESTROYED
BY NIGHT FIRE
Authorities Believe German Sympa-
thizers or Agents Were Responsl-
BILE for the Blaze.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service1
SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 29.-While
the authorities today attributed to
German sympathizers or agents last
nights sl,500,000 fire on pier used
by British ships taking munitions to
Russia, nothing definite was given by
the police in support Of this theory.
Search was being made for a sus-
pect resembling one Of the interned
German officers who broke parole at
Norfolk. A scar on the tace, possibly
received in Heidelberg duel, was
the clue to the search.
No Blue Funnel liner was moored
at the pier last night. but two previ-
GUS alleged incendiary fires in the
same locality, eXtinguished without
serious loss, broke out mysteriously
Wien munition shipments we're car
goes Of steamers at the docks. The
TACT that last nights fire reached its
height fifteen minutes after it was dis
covered, suggested to the authorities
that time bomb exploded.
The police arrested d. Whitman, a
ionsshoreman, for investigation.
K. B. bradshaw told the police he
conversed with ', illman shortly before
the fire was discovered. Bradshaw
said he mentioned going to work on
the pier within a few minutes and
mat Whitman replied: p.
Don't be too sure Of that"
After the fire, Bradshaw again en-
countered Whitman, according to the
police, and Whitman was reported %
have said:
told you you wouldn't work AT
the dock tonight. Pier five will be
next"
another theory was that the fire
may have resulted from the feud be-
tween Japanese and Chinese. Sailors
OF the former nationality have shown
the greatest hatred for Chinese mem
ners OF Blue Funnel crews.
