FACTS CONCERNING
BARRE CHAUTAUQUA
II Is One of Great System Which Is
Being Operated in u States-lts
Plan Is for Community
Betterment.

The following are some facts about th
Community Chautauqua which comes u
Barre tomorrow for the remainder o
the week:
The Community Chautauqua system
is one of the greatest institutions in tho
country for community betterment. lti
programs of music, entertainment anc
educational lectures have sounded new
note in platform work and have beer
the chief cause of the systems phenom'
email growth.
II conducts a larger number of Chau'

lated region of the United States;
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massa-
chusetts, New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Ken
lucky. 1t will be noted that the number
of stars in the Community flag indicates
the number of states in which Chautau-
quas are held
There are five great Community Chau-
tauqua circuits, including 353 different
cities and towns.
In order that all of its Chautauquas
may be held during the months of June,
July, August and early September, it is
necessary for the system to have p diff
ferent Chautauquas running at the same
time, in as many different towns, every
day in the season.
Five Community Chautauquas will be
held this summer in New York City.
One of these will be held in an enormous
tent on Broadway, in the heart of the
city.
Four hundred and sixteen persons are
on the payroll of the system during the
Chautauqua season. OF this number, l43
are college students, representing many
Of the principal colleges and universities
in the United States, including Harvard,
Yale, Dartmouth, Columbia, Princeton,
Chicago, Michigan, California, etc.
The Community Chautauqua system
Owns 80 large auditorium tents, each
seating from 900 TO l,SO0 people.
The tents are made of l0ounce khaki
irmy duck, according to government
,pecifications. Each tent contains more
han mile of rope
The present cost of each tent outfit, |
With canvas fence, ticket Office, platform
covered entrance, tools,
runks, etc. is in excess of 81 $50 The |
ent itself is valued at 81 ,453.
The paid admissions during a single |
eason total more than 100000.
Five hundred and twenty nine daily |
nd weekly newspapers carry Communi-
Y Chautauqua advertising.
To visit all of the towns on Com
nunity Chautauqua circuits by the
hortest possible route would require
& 200 miles Of travel.

FOURTH WARRANT
ISSUED IN NEW YORK
FIRE INVESTIGATION
Fire Broke Out Again on Black Tom
Pier, and Firemen Were Kept Busy
Last Night-Companies
Deny Blame

New York, Aug with three Off
GERS OF corporations doing business OF
Black Tom island under arrest and q
warrant out for a fourth, preparations
were under way at Jersey City for a
Joint federal. state, county and municipal
investigation to fix the blame for Sunday
mornings disaster, which killed at least
three men, injured scores and caused ap-
proXimately $20,000,000 property damage.
Fire broke out among the ruins. on the
island last night, and one half the fire de-
partment OF Jersey City, with fireboats
! from New York and New Jersey, fought
the flames, which eentered about a pier
where large quantities of shrapnel and
| large calihre shells were stored. Shells
exploded in an almost continuous cam
nonade. Chief Roger Boyle of the Jersey
City fire department said he expected the
ruins to shoulder for week longer.
The theory that the fire which caused
the disastrous explosion started on a
munitions barge, tied up at the island,
was secuted by Robert S Hudspeth, pros
ecutor OF Hudson county, and Theodore
b. johnson, president of the johnson
Lighterage company, owner of the muni-
tions barge. Both declared that the fire
originated in two Lehigh Valley railroad
freight cars laden with explosives.
johnson, who was arrested on a war
rant charging manslaughter, as were Al
bert NJ, Dickman Black Tom agent Of
the Lehigh Valley, end Alexander David
son, superintendent OF the National Stor-
age company, denied all responsibility
for the conhagration after his arraign-
ment. He ntimated that the fire was
of incendiary origin.
In spite of Johnson's assertion, the
Lehigh Valley issued another statement
reiterating its charge that the fire had
begun on the johnson lighter, which they
contended was moored at one of its piers
without authority
Prosecutor Hudspeth corroborated
an affidavit from the commander of the
tug Geneva which gave/a comprehensive
story of the disaster.
According to the affidavit and other
evidence" said the prosecutor "the fire
started two hours before the johnson
barge was destroyed and it was not this
barge that caused the great explosion.
The captain of the Geneva was towing
away another barge, said to have been
loaded with a tremendously high explo
sive, acting upon orders of a Lehigh Val |
ley official, when the barge, which had |
shown no sign of being afire, exploded |
This was the first explosion, and the one
that was most severe.
THE second great explosion occurred |
when the fire reached number of freight I
cars loaded with dynamite and annt ber
tremendously high explosive, the charac-
ter of which is still to be determined"
Mr.. Hudspeth declared fully three
ifths of the explosives shipped to the en-
,ente allies passed through Jersey City.
Late in the day, warrant was issued
or the arrest, on a charge of manslaugh
,er, of Edmund L. Mackenzie Of Plain-
ield \. j.. president of the National
Storage company, whose plant at Black
Tom was destroyed
