An empty one gallon oil can found
living near the scene of a fire at 3l3
Fowler street last night has led tire
men to believe that some one with an
insane mania for starting fires has
been responsible for the half dozen
blazes reported in the vicinity of Lane
and Fowler streets within the last six
weeks. The contents Of the oil can
had been sprinkled against the side OF
the building and a match touched TO
the oil. Neighbors discovered the
blaze and turned in an alarm. When
f-emen arrived the flames had worked
into the caves. The damage was small.
There has been a number OF minor
biazes within the last six weeks where
incendiarism was suspected, but this
is the first fire where the presence OF
oil was actually detected, or an oil re-
ceptacle discovered.

PHOCAEA A HISTORIC TOWN
Had High Place In the Annals OF
Fame Twenty-Five Centuries
or More Ago.

Dispatches from Turkey say that
the little city OF Phocaea has been
burned.
It is only one more town swallowed
by devouring war. but what memories
its name awakens! More than six
hundred years before Christ Phocaea
was the home Of race Of sailors as
daring and skillful as those who later
made the fame OF Plymouth and Sa-
lem. Its trading captains sailed from
the Black sea to the Pillars of Her
cules-which we know under the pro-
sale name OF Straits OF Gibraltar
broke the monopoly OF Tyre and Car
thage, carried back hides and silver
ore from their barbaric customers in
Gaul and Spain and founded the city
OF Marseilles.
They were fighters, too. When the
Persian hordes had rolled over the
Greek colonies OF Asia Minor the Pho
caeans declared that exile was better
than slavery. They sank lump or
iron in the harbor. swore never TO re-
turn until II should rise TO the sur
face, and sailed away to Corsica. But
this time fate was unkind. the Car
thaginians and Etruscans Joined
forces against the Greek intruder. and
in a dream one OF the homesick exiles
saw the lump OF iron floating on the
waves OF the dear old harbor at home.
The Phocaeans came back, to share
the Kaleidoscope changes OF Greek
history, doze under the iron peace of
Rome, suffer the hardships which
were inflicted on the rear guard Of
Europe" when worse barbarians than
the Persians came out of the East.
And now their little town is in flames
once more and a new chapter-per-
haps q new yOlume-opens for the
distant grandsons OF the daredevils
who traded and pirated in the west
ern Mediterranean 20 centuries ago.
