NO COW But MATCHES
Children Emulate Mrs. 0'Leary's
Example With Fire.

a COW kicked over the lamp that set
fire to Mrs. O'Leary's barn and result
ed in the destruction of the city of
Chicago. But children playing in
the barn of L. w. Russell, 209 North
G street, had no COW with which TO
duplicate the Windy City scene, so
one youngster lighted match and
threw the burning ember into hay
piled in the barn.
However the kiddies' fire failed to
assume the size of Mrs. O'Learys
little bonfire. Frightened. the chill
dren notified Mrs. Russell at once.
The department easily extinguished
the blaze before much damage result
ed. Had the fire been given much OF
a start, coal bin in the barn filled
with winters supply of fuel, might.
have caused some trouble.

EUROPE EXPECTS CHINA
 TO BE SPLIT INTO
 TWO GOVERNMENTS

Special to Gateway by United Press)
 LONDON, May 1O.-DeclaratiOn of it's independence by the Chinese pro- vince of Kwangtung is regarded here as an almost certain forerunner of China's breakup into a northern and a southern nation.
 It was believed Yuan Shi Kai might, by sweeping concessions, hold the country together. Kwangtung having cut loose, however, this is deemed possible. The other rebel provinces are considered certain to cast in their lot with Kwangtung.
 The split between north and south is looked for along the line of the Yangtse river. Yuan may make the north a monarchy. The south is eX- pected to be a republic.
 Best judges of the oriental situa- ton do not think Yuan will make much effort to fight the south. They point out that he stands an excellent chance of establishing his power per manently in the northern provinces if he devotes himself to them alone, while an attempt to subdue the south unquestionably woUld precipitate a bloody war.
