NO EVIDENCE FOUND
OF INCENDIARISM IN
BURNING OF STEAMERS

New York, Feb. 17.-No evidence of
incendiarism has been found, it was
announced last night, in connection
with the fire on the Brooklyn water
front early yesterday, which caused
the destruction of three British steam
ships, 81 lighters and barges, a new
900-foot pier belonging to the New
York Dock company and $1,000, 900
worth of merchandise consigned to the
entente allies. The total loss Is esti-
mated at between three and four mil
lion dollars. Although nearly 800 per-
sons we're imperilled by the flames
which ragged fiercely for several hours
only one man, a member of the crew
OF one of the steamers, was unac-
counted for last night. Several per-
sons were injured, however, and there
were many sensational rescues.
There were reports throughout the
day that the fire was started by an
incendiary, but they probably were
based upon the fact that the immense
quantity Of merchandise on board the
vessels and on the pier was destined
for European governments now en-
gagged in war. A rigid investigation
conducted by officials of the fire de-
partment has convinced them that de-
fective electric wiring was responsible
for the flames.

ent. sent in a brief statement, declaring
he favored street improvement and
told of being born in Boise and seeing
sand a gravel hauled on Main street
and later seeing it mixed with mud.
He advocated dragging the streets and
stated he did not favor a bond cleo
ton at this time for street improve
ments.
Rev. Willsie Martin stated he fav
ored good paving, not merely paving
with good intentions, but paving that
would last. Poor streets, he said, like
poor houses, are the worst admertise-
ments a city can have and he added
that poor streets were poor economy
while good streets were real economy.
Jess b. Hawley stated he was in
favor of paving this season at least
two streets leading to the northern
section of the city and connecting
those with cross streets so they could
be easily reached. Changing the topic,
he stated, the best sprin.s tonic he had
had this season was the seeing gath
cred about the tables $50 men to dis
cuss and listen to the topic of i'm
proving Boise. He declareds it looked
like return to the old Disc spirit,
r. +. Johnson stated he favored
paving and would like to see some
done this season. He stated he had al
ways favored paving and stood for
public improvements.
Now the Time to Act.
w. E. Pierce contended for paving
at least two streets leading north in
the city and declared that the matter
was now alive and should not be let to
die down, but should be taken up with
the city council.
Captain Davis. in a brief speech, de-
clared he felt the city should do some
thing in paving this year and was in
favor of paving to the northern sec
ton of the city.
A. r. Cruzen declared that the ques-
ton of the cost of paving should be
thoroughly gone into. He cited that
the first paving on his property on
North Eighth street cost about $14 per
front foot, while the last he had done
on property on State street, cost him
but 81 per front foot. He believed IL
the property owners were shown the
small cost as compared with the
benefits, there would be a stronger
sentiment in favor of paving.
Eugene Looney and C. r. Shaw also
spoke as favoring paving and Council
man Harrington, who was last called
upon, advocated the laying out of a
district and getting the sentiment Of
the people in that district, giving them
all the facts in connection with the
costs and payments and if the senti-
ment was found In favor of paving
he declared the city council stood ready
to act.
A pleasing feature in connection with
the luncheon was that it started on
time and closed promptly at l o'clock.
w. F. Graham managed the affair
and selected the speakers for the pro-
gram and also appointed the official
timekeeper, Claude Crawford, who
tapped the gond at the given time for
each speaker.

TO OVERTHROW MILITARY
 RRIGANDAGE IN EUROPE
DweIt on by the Dean of Westminster
 in Christmas Day Address.

London, Dec. 25. T.15 D. m.-The dean 1 of Westminster the Right Rev. Her I bert Edward Ryle, preaching in the Abby today, said:
 "It is our resolve. God helDioey us to overthEpw military brigandaGe in Europe: to, rescue the liberties ard the homes of the desolated countries, to obtain for these people reparatlcn for 1 their wrongs and for humanity lasting security aFa1nst recurrence of az gTeSsive violence and crime.
 Tt is true that the president If the United States, after two years of study Of the question and innumerab1e rotes. seems to believe that the object of the two groups of belligerents is the same He knows that Germany re- fused arbitration. declined a confer ence and rejected every overture to prevent war. He knows that his own countrymen have poured money like water to assist the destitute and cut ragged remnants of the little Belgian peoples. whose treaty rights were vfo- lated and those frontiers were invaded before war was declared. He knows of the infra ctions of The Hague con- ventions, which the American people have studiously promoted.
 He knows of all the details of the organized atrocities reported ur2on in strict inquiries. He knows of the sinking of unarmed ships like thcse of the Lusitnnia and the Arabic, without notice of warning. He knows the murder of Captain Frvatt. of the noe turnal deportations of Belgians and French into slavery. He knows of German conrivance at Armenian mas sacres. And yet he is of the opinion that the nations who are leagued to
 disarm this evil demonliac of national
 nilitarism have the same end in view
 as the perpetrators of these hysteric
 crimes.
 President Wilson has either in a fit
 of mental alteration sent the wrong
 note. or he has entirely misapprekend-
 ed the European situation.
 These things are black and vile
 The very thought of them on Christ
 mas day makes one shudder. Does
 anyone suppose that peace would be
 honorable which regarded the assail-
 ants and the defenders of humanity as
 having in view the same ends. What
 kind of unanirnity of aim do you ex-
 pect with wolves and sheep dogs over
 the fleece of torn 1ams?
 Peace on the basis of a hypothe-
 tis would be only an armistice giving
 an exhausted foe much needed in
 terval for reparation before renewing
 his unsuitable passion for the bege-
 mony of the world and the destruction
 of his rivals with a savage war

LAST MAN LEAVES
 CAMP AT NIANTIC.
Connecticut Made One of the Best
 Records of All the States.

The last gun in the recent Mexican war" so far as Connecticut is con : cerned, has been fired with the ar rival in Hartford of Major Earl D. Church, the first man in the moLili- zation camp at Mantle and the lt'st man out. He has not yet been mLG- tered out of the federal service, shar- ing this distinction with the members of Batteries E and F, who are still at the border, and Capt. O. ". King, who acted as paymaster, but expects to be back before long.
 When Hartford and Connecticut in general were still in an upro IT over the mobilization orders sent out last June, Major Church was sent to Nj antic. When the troops began moving from their home stations to the mobilization camp he was in Niantlr When they left for the border he was in Mantle and when they were mus tered out, and long after some peorle had ceased to think about them, he was in Mantle. In fact, he did not return from there until last Monday, his stay at the mobilization camp 2;s gregating six months, less three days Now, for the first time in a half year, he is back at his desk as SuperintenJ- ent of the policy loan division of the Travellers Insurance company.
 haJOT SHuTCn ulu not see SeTVlcS at the border, but he saw about every thing else, including a long list of titles appended to himself in compari- son with which those borne by fhe late Francis Joseph fade into nothing ness. Before being mustered into fed eral service he was major in the ord nance department, but after shat no time was lost in naming him actir. g camp quartermaSter, camp quarter master, officer in command of camr, ordnance officer, signal officer, acting medical property officer, acting qu&r- termaster in the United States army and disbursing officer. A mobilization of Major Church all by himself would be quite a spectacle.
 Connecticut made one of the best records in his department of all II e states. In his handling of many hur- dreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment of all kinds, he lost but four or five small objects. the total value of which aggregated ou: $13, while he picked up articles for which his department was not charged to the value of more than s400.
