Capt. Whitaker of the South
Tacoma fire department declared
today that the fire had been burn
ing Saturday for 20 minutes be-
fore an alarm was turned in.
The two children, who were play
ing in the kitchen when the fire
started, had taken refuge in a
pantry. Had the alarm been
given In time, Capt. Whitaker
said, the children could have been
saved
"Neighbors stood about wait
ing for fire apparatus to come,
each thinking that the other had
turned in an alarm" declared the
fire captain today. 1.-THE result
was that we knew nothing of the
fire until someone telephoned ia
know why the apparatus was de-
layed. We reached the burning
house in three minutes, but It was
already burning like packing
box, and the children had been
roasted to a crisp

Speed Plan Of
Reorganization

Warmed in their work by the
lively interest and encouragement
which they have met with on
every hand, the reorganization
committee of the Tacoma Com
mercial club met again today to
discuss the phases OF their cam
paign for a greater Tacoma. To-
morrow the board of trustees will
meet to go over features of the
reorganization preparatory to
submitting to the members as q
whole.
A letter has been sent to every
manufacturer in Tacoma urging
the Importance of an early answer
to the Industrial QUESTIONABLE.
The list of questions put to the
manufacturer is intended to
bring out not only the good points
of the Industrial situation here
but the handicaps that exist and
how to overcome them.
A tabulation of the answers
will not constitute an Industrial
survey of Tacoma, though this il
about as much as most cities have
accomplished when they announce
an Industrial survey.
The asking OF Information is
but the first step in deciding on
further Investigations, says the
committee. 1t is believed an
opinion or a prejudice may exist
among the majority of manufac-
turers here which may be entire
ly disproven when infinitely sur
veyed or analysed.

Unless more convincing EVIL
dence OF reckless driving Is found
against Edward Cushman, son of
U. s. Judge Cushman, who ran
down Elmer Nelson last week on
No. 26th ST., the inquest ordered
by Prosecutor Remain will be
dropped.
Coroner Stewart, who has been
investigating with Deputy Prose-
cutor Cramer, said today that
young Cushman was undoubtedly
driving too near the car tracks
and probably was going little
too fast.
He said, however, that DIR.
Charles James, who attended the
Nelson boy, declared the dead
youth had admitted repeatedly
before his death that the accident
was his fault. He said he ran
around the street car because Of
the rain, without looking for an
approaching street car.
The boy is said to have re-
moved all blame from Cushman

was being taken to the. hospital

HOME GIN
 BURNED SUNDAY
BLAZE IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN OF INcENDIARY ORIGIN LOSS IS ESTIMATED
 AT $12,oo0.

The gin plant of the Sweet Home Gin Company was burned early Sun day morning. All that was saved was a portion of the cotton seed ware2 house, and 50 tons of seed. John R. Frazier, president of the company and principal owners, estimated the loss at about $12,0O0, with $7,500 in surance. Harry Keats is the other stockholder.
 The fire was discovered by mem bers of the family of J. B. Diemer, who lives 100 yards from the gin. They were awakened by the glare of the fire at 3:30 a. m. Fire Company No. 6 from the station at Twenty-third and Arch streets, responded to an alarm and by using water from creek near the gin saved the seed warehouse. The gin building, containing three gins, the office building, one seed ware house and other outbuildings were to- tally destroyed. The fire had gained such headway when the fire truck ar rived that no attempt was made to save the main building.
 The gin closed for the season Fri day and there had been no fire in the engine room since then, MT. Fra zier said. He said he believed the fire was incendiary in origin.

OPEN EVENINGS.

The purchase of good piano un- der ordinary circumstances is a good investment. What other article of daily use can you invest in that will bring you as much. say, 20 years aft CT, as a piano should you wish to sell it? Then think what it adds to your home in pleasure, refinement and ed ucational opportunities, frequently becoming a large source of revenue as teacher or artist. Just think about all of these advantages and possibilities of a piano in your home.
 Now, if the purchase of piano at all times IS a good investment, how much more important is it at this time, while we are conducting this great Removal Sale?
 We assume you need a piano or player piano, and intend to buy one, but you have put it off from time to time for one reason or another.

 M.W.OF WEST END
STATE BANK COMMISSIONER IS ELECTED HEAD OFFICER OF LARGEST A. o. U. w. LODGE
 IN ARKANSAS.

John M. Davis, State Bank Commis- sioner, was last Friday night elected Master Workman of West End Lodge No. 13, Ancient Order of United Workmen, for the ensuing year. This is indicative of the high plane of these organizations, and of the char acter of the men who are becoming affiliated with the fraternal organiza- tion that has attracted more favora- ble attention in Arkansas during the past two years than any other.
 West End Lodge is again the larg- est lodge in the state, with an aggre- gate membership of 503. The Pine Bluff lodge took the honor away from it at the meeting of the Grand Lodge, but in Novemberr West End passed it's rival, which now has membership of ASA The rivalry between the two lodges is very great, but thoroughly cordial The election of MT Davis Is looked upon by all as an augury of greater advancement in 1917. MT Da- wis is the state officer who has won the distinction of having kept his de partment out of politics.
 T. R. Hale, of the Central Bank, was elected Overseer of West End, and Chas. McNutt was elected Receiver and Finaneier.

BRUTAL MURDER
 OF SCHOOL GIRL
LITTLE JOHANNA HESS, AGED 15, SLAIN BY UNKNOWN, PRE- SUMED TO BE A
 NEGRO.

Johanna Hess, aged 15 years, daugn- ter of Julian Hess, a German farmer, living five and half miles northwest of Levy, was brutally murdered by some unknown assassin, Saturday night, near Amboy switch, on the Fort Smith road She was a canning club girl, a member of the Oak Grove Club, and a student at Oak Grove School The funeral was held Monday after noon, burial being in the Thomas Gem etery, Rev. A. H. Poppe officiating. The Oak Grove School dismissed for the funeral.
 Governor Hays has offered re- ward of $250 for the arrest and con- viction of the murderer. Sheriff w G. Hutton offered S100, and other funds are being subscribed for the purpose, making a total of about $60G.
 Sheriff Hutton's and Constable Scott,s forces are leaving nothing un- done to run down the assassin, but so far have not been successful in se- curing a definite trace. It is supposed that she was attacked by negro, and when she resisted, he killed her, cut her throat, and crushed her head with a blunt instrument. The body was found late Saturday night by a posse of 100 citizens who made the search.
 She had come to Argenta about 3 a. m. Saturday to buy groceries, and left Levy about 1 D. m. for home. At 3 D. m. the mule she had been dr1y- ing came home without the wagon and the search began. The place where the body was found is in the vicinity O. the spot where Florence Shillcutt also 15 years old, was similarly mur- dered in 1903. In 1908 an Argenta tin ner, A. H. Tharpe, was found near the same place with his head almost seV- cred from his body.
 Johanna was born in Berlin, Ger many. in 1901, and came to America with her parents three years later. If is feared that her mother is losing her mind as result of the shock or the tragedy.
 Mrs. Anna Rude and Mrs. Watkins Carlin of Little Rock are soliciting funds with which to purchase mohu- ment for the deceased. An effort IS also being made to raise funds to pay off the mortgage on the Hess farm.
 A year ago Julian Hess was serious ly injured while working as carpen- ter in the Argenta shops, and last spring their home was wrecked by a storm. and now comes the crownlng tragedy of their lives.
