TWO SLIGHT FIRES
Fire Department Answers Cali In Re-
publican Block and Maple ST.

A blaze in the boiler room Of the
Republican block and Il chimney fire
at the Stinson residence. Maple St,
called out the chemical truck from
the Central Fire Station twice Sunday
afternoon. The blaze in the basement
of the Republican block was the more
serious Of the two, but did no damage.
1t was confined to u large pile OF
ashes, rubbish and paper which had
accumulated. and which probably
caught fire by some hot ashes being
thrown in with the imnammable
material. It's quick discovery pre-
vented any serious results. The call
was answered from the station about
4.S9 p m.
The call to the chimney fire on Ma
pie street rang in about 2:40 I'm.

BEGIN TODAY
OVER DYESTUFFS ISSUE
Representatives of Many Affected
Industries Attend House Com
mittee Meeting.

Hearings in connection with the dye
stuffs problem were begun today by the
House ways and means committee.
Representatives of manufacturing in
dustries affected by the scarcity of dye
stuffs were on hand ready to be heard
on Representative Hills BILL which
would impose practically prohibitive
tariff duties on dyes and dyestuffs.
The hearing room was crowded with
manufacturers and others from many
states. DR.. Bernhard G. Hesse of New
York. chairman of a committee of the
American Chemical Society that inves-
tisated the subject. an1 a star witness,
who occupied the forenoon session. tes-
titled that he appeared neither for nor
against the proposed legislation. was
not certain what it might lead to, as,
fgura lively. he had mot balanced the
debit and credit in connection with it,
but that without the legislation there
would be no self-contaned, complete
and Independent coal tar. chemical and
uye industry in the United States.
He said the schedule of rates pro-
posed is the probable lowest schedule
that would induce such manaufacture
in this country; that ii purposed to
restore the relative tariff conditions
that existed in 1882. when there was
something of an industry here, and
that under the bill such an industry
independent of foreign supply mi ght'
be created.
