BLAZE DAMAGES BARN
AT THE ALMSHOUSE.
Good Work on Part OF Firemen Kept
Flames Confined to Frame Struc-
ture.

Fire of uncertain origin did several
hundred dollars damage 70 one of the
barns at the almshouse between 10
and II o'clock Thursday night. At
1920 o'clock an alarm from Box II,
the private box at the aInshOuse call
ed out nearly all the city companies.
When the fremen arrived on the
scene flames were shooting from the
roof of the barn in good shape. Three
lines of hose We're quickly laid and
the fire was squelched in short order
The recall was sounded at 1850.
The barn which is q two story
wooden frame structure is located in
the rear of the aImshouse building and
is some feet away from the large barn
and cattle are kept. The horse and
cattle barn escaped the blaze The
roof Of the small barn was consider
ably damaged and the contents, fur
niture and -four suffered some from
water. The loss Will amount to sew
eraI hundred dollars. The barn is
used for storage purposes only.
The fire was discovered by one of
the inmates whose room is on the sec
ond story at the rear of the aInshOuse
building. He saw the red glow through
| the window and calling to another in
mate both investigated and found the
| barn in flames. One of the two pull
ed in the private box at the building
. The alarm caused q large crowd to
gather quickly as it was at first
thought that the aImshOuSe itself was
in flames. The reflection could be
seen from many parts of the city.
Good work on the part of the fremen
who made very quick run kept the
| flames confined to the wooden struc-
ture. It is thought that sparks from
| G, passing Iocc@a tive caused the blaze
as to all appearance it started on the
roof.

THREE TEAMS IN EACH LEAGUE
LEFT IN REMNANT FIGHT

BY Mark Shields
1t is in order to count the Browns,
Yanks and Indians out of the Amer
lean league pennant chase. The
Jones and Donovan clans are each
seven games from the lead and
Cleveland is a game back of that
pair. Only a marvellous squirt by
one of the trio, combined with a ter
rife break by the three leaders, will
give any one but Boston, Detroit
and the White Sox. a shot for the
lead.
The schedule is against the worlds
champions and the team has been
hitting some hard bumps recently,
but it is hard to prognosticate a sus-
tanned slump for a club boasting
such a pitching staff as Boston has.
The club is essentially a defensive
combination, but unusually strong
in that department. And Jack Barry
will be back by the time the CARR
gans head westward. Barry is the
foundation of the infield, it's pivot in
more ways than one, and keys the
entire clan to fighting pitch.
Detroit is not to suffer the loss of
Harry COveleskie, its pitching star,
who was hit in the stomach by a
ball recently. He worked against the
Browns yesterday and was effective
the seven innings he remained in the
game.
Our own hopes are having first
base troubles. Ness is hurt, and
when Fourier was canned for kick
ing yesterday, Hasbrook, a Central
assn player, went to the initial sta
ton. This kid, raw and untutored, ,
has in his grasp the opportunity of
being enc Of the heroes of the year.
If he comes through with some air.
tight fielding and hits a good lick he
will keep the job permanently.
He has ginger and courage.

Old Resident of Craftan Wrote
History of Early Happenings There

Among the papers of the late
Chester NJ. Slayton, after his death,
was found the following interesting
history of his coming to Michigan,
written many years ago by himself on
old style foolscap paper. The Banner
is very pleased to give it to its read
ers:
My first introduction TO the town
ship of Grattan was about the first of
October, 1S47. IL was then almost an
unbroken wilderness, the small clear
ings scattered here and there were
much less than the patches of timber
now remaining. | was a small kid
then, not yet 13, but many Of the
scenes and incidents that transpired
at that time are indelibly printed on
my memory and at such gatherings as
this they are all revived and | have
to live them over again.
Our parents with family of seven
children left Victor, Ontario county,
New York, on the Goth of September,
expecting to take the propeller Gen
esee Chief at Rochester that night.
But the boat was delayed and for ten
long days we lived in the warehouse
as best we could and watched for it's
arrival before it came. Taking steer
age passage we had to furnish our
own living and bedding and being
cooped up in the stern of boat with
several other families was not very
enjoyable life to live. A week should
have seen US at our journeys end, but
IL was doubled before we disembark-

CHARACTER|zES
birth OF NAT|ON'
AS UNPATR|OT|C
MAJOR FRANK X. CHASE TELLS
OF THE REAL MOTIVE BACK
OF PRODUCTION

The Banner is in receipt of a letter
from Frank R. Chase in which he
states that the noted photoplay, "The
Birth of Nation" is unpatriotic and
untruthful. He gives his reason for
the characterization. Mr.. Chase's
letter is printed below:
Birth of a Nation"
Noticing your ad of this, one of the
most wonderful photoplays produced,
yet in my opinion it is most unpatrio-
tic, untruthful and destructive to that
spirit of harmony which should prevail
in all parts of our republic. 1t is a
most contemplate effort to degrade
the negro race and exalt the nefarious
Ku Klux Klan as noble men, through
whose work there was born a purified
nation and that we are not indebted
to the patriotic union army who saved
the union from destruction with their
lives freely given.
By part of our country where re-
bellion was a great monument has
been set up to that inhuman monster
Wirtz, who was so long the keeper of
Andersonville prison, who boasted
that in the prison he was killing and
disabling more union soldiers than
Lee and Johnston were on the battle
field. From this part of our land
comes the effort by bill in congress
to change Old Glory and put into her
blue field the cross and stars of the
old rebel fiag-"that the South may
see their flag"
A movement is on foot now TO have
cut into the face of Stone Mountain,
near Atlanta, Georgia, gigantic fig
ures of three southern commanders
and battlefield at the enormous ex-
pense of $2,000,000 dollars and that
each state is to be asked to contribute
twenty-four thousand dollars and the
Congress of the United States a large
amount, while part of the proceeds
of the birth of a Nation" that is
making its thousands out of the in
nocent people of the North, who thus
contribute under the falsely advertis-
ed patriotic" play. Over the ticket
window in the Colonial Theatre in
Chicago where tickets for the play
were purchased was this notice: "Per-
sons under twenty-one years Of age
would not be admitted"
The Ohio board of censors has for
hidden it's exhibition in that State. The
attempt Of this play to arouse section
al and race prejudice and revive Bit
ter memories of the Civil war is ill
timed
The present call is for Americans,
whose flag is the Stars and Stripes.

GREENvILLE X. OF P'S
PUT ON FINE WORK

Fortuna Lodge, Knights of Pythias,

when they entertained the Greenville
Pythian team at special meeting.
The Greenville brothers are contest
ing for holding the cup won by them
in the state contest last year and were
anxious to do the work here for the
drill it would give them. The local
lodge had a list of about thirty-fve
candidates, nine OF whom were ready
for the work and our boys gave the
visiting brothers the opportunity to
confer the rank. This they did in
specially fine manner; receiving many
words Of praise.
The candidates were from this city
and in the vicinity of Orleans. A
number of brothers from lonia were
present, among them being Sheriff
Ed. Lowrey and Prosecuting Attorney
H. c. Hall.
A big feed of excellent quality was
also feature of the meeting, which
broke up about two in the morning.
