SERIOUS FIRE
Prompt Action of Emmett Volunteers
Saves Harve Beeler Home.

Emmett, Kan. Jan. 6.-What might
have been a serious fire was averted
here Wednesday when the home of
Harve Beeler was saved by the prompt
action of the Emmett fire department.
The department made a run of four
blocks and eXtinguished the blaze
which had gained considerable head
way.
The local fire department is the
only one of it's kind and has solved the
problem of fire protection in a small
town. The population of the town is
200 and there is no water plant or
pumping station. The fire department
is composed of a number of mer-
chants of the town and their equip
ment consists of ten three gallon
chemical extinguishers. During the
last six years ten fires have been sue
cessfully combated at an estimated
saving of $4,000.

proximate SITS. 900 was made today by
a New York detective who had been
here working on the case. Three men
said to be connected with the alleged
fraudulent scheme were arrested in
New York yesterday and one was ar
rested in st. Louis.
Only one alleged st. Louis victim
is known to the police, who are look
ing for the other five. The one
known is Henry Gallant, pawnbroker,
who, the police says, has admitted the
loss of $4,000. Gallant was conducted
to a luXuriously furnished gambling
house in New York and, playing ac-
cording to instructions, lost $4,000
while the dealer by the same mistake
lost $4,000, apparently.
The dealer threatened to commit
suicide over his loss, but Gallant dis
suGded him and arrangements were
made for another game.
On every trip to New York Gallant
so the police claim lost a goodly sum,
but three weeks ago he realized he was
being swindled.

The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railway will not employ new men over
30 years of age in many of the general

of greater value to the company than
old men whom the company would be
forced to train
The new rule will not affect those
already in the employ of the road;
neither does the rule extend to the me-
chanical department, but is aimed at
unframed men on the clerical force.
The rule has been in effect since

THE CRUCIBLE"

Following her first triumphant ap-
pearance in motion pictures, in the
title role of ''Wildhower," the fas-
cinating and irresistible Marguerite
Clark is again presented on the Fa-
nous Players Paramount program in
Mark Lee Luther's. powerful story,
THE Crucible," the pathetic story of
a souls ordeal in the melting-pot of
suffering, from which fiery furnace
1t emerges unscathed, and strength
ened by its agonies.
In this powerful five-part produc-
ton, Marguerite Clark portrays the
role of Jean Fanshaw, at first hoyden
and tomboy, unjustly condemned to
reformatory, but who later tri-
umphs over the shame of her i'm
prisonment and the sordid corrup-
ness of her environment, returning
good for evil to those who worked
havoc with her life. How she is re-
warded for her long struggle against
evil and despair is vividly unfolded
in this unusually strong photoplay
The development of this subject
differs greatly from the plot of
"Wildtiower, in which Marguerite
Clark made her debut before the
motion picture camera, providing
many opportunities for strong emo
tional portrayal which the simplicity
and naivete of Miss Clark's first
screen impersonation necessarily
lacked, and the resulting test of this
charming stars degree of versatility
is more than met by the complete
success of the role.
The subject will be seen at the
Empire Thursday, where it will un-
doubtedly sufficiently thrill and in
terest audiences.
