fire DAMAGE IN
STAVEMILL TO BE
ADJUSTED TODAY
Officers Will decide TODAY
When to Start Rebuild
ing Plant.
ORIGIN OF BIG FIRE
IS STILL UNKNOWN
South Cape Plantsto Install Wa
ter Mains for Protection
Against Fire Loss.

Officers of the Cape Cooperage Co.,
the plant of which was destroyed by
fire Saturday after midnight, are ex-
pected to arrive here today with the
insurance agents, to adjust the fire
loss, and make arrangements for the
reconstruction of the stave factory
which. burned to the ground with a
loss of $4,000. The damage it is be-
lieved, is fully covered by insurance.
1t is not known, when the recon-
struction of the plant will be begun,
this depending upon the outcome of
the adjustment, George Bolz, general
manager of the company, said last
night. Following the adjustment of the
loss by the insurance representatives,
the wreckage will have to be cleared
away before the reconstruction of the
factory can begin.
An investigation started yesterday
has failed as yet to reveal any cause
for the origin of the fire, Mr.. Bolz
said. He is at.loss to advance any the
DRY explaining the cause of the con-
flagration, which started shortly be-
fore midnight Saturday, several hours
after the plant had been closed for
the day.
1t is probable that the blaze was
caused by spark from the smoke
stack Ct the engine room, as the
flame was discovered between that
building and an adjoining store room,
where several hundred thousand slaves
were kept.
The city fireman who were called
to the scene of the fire by the police
chief, worked around the burning
plant until Sunday noon. Their at
tention was focused upon the other
buildings which had not been damaged
by the blaze, and every effort was
made b. the city department to pre-
vent spreading Of the flames.
Sunday morning a pile of timber
near the main plant, which was con-
sumed by the blaze, was destroyed
adding an additional loss of several
thousand to that caused by the burn
ing of tie main plant. After the fire
man had connected the hose with the
nearest plug, they discovered that the
pressure was inadequate to effect any
results by their work.
The fetal destruction Of the main
plant of the Cape Cooperage Co. has
started movement among the own
ers of the sawmills and lumber yards
near the stave plants to have water
main directed closely to these fac
tories and hydrant installed for the
protection of the plants. 1t was due to
the fact that the nearest water plug
was Several thousand feet distant from
the burning plant, that the city fire.
man could not put their fire appar-
atus into operation, and had that been
possible, they say, the loss would have
been held to a lower total.

for it, They admitted everything that
the friends Of prohibition said against
the liquor traffic. But they said YOU
cannot afford 10 break down the bust
ness in Indiana Why. these men have
their money invested in capital or in
build. gs or in machinery; you cannot
afford TO take it from them You can
not afford to take it from them. I want
to say TO you this afternoon that the
liquor traffic is not business at all.
not a business. Why. certainly that is
right. it Is not, it is not q business at
all. Now, let's see. the political econ
omtst tells US that we must stand for
one OF three things. In the first place,
we may serve the public and for that
service receive profit. In the second
place we may serve the public and re-
ceive no proht. Now that is called
charity. In the third place we may
gather profit 20 ourselves and perform
no service for it Now that class is
called crime. Now they 20 further than
that; they say when you serve you must
Offer it 10 the wealth producing power
OF the community. a wealth producer to
the community.
Now lets analyze the three Here is
grocery in Hammond ard he has
fruits and vegetables and such things
in his store. Here comes a laboring
man and ne has money in his pocket.
The grocer would rather have the money
than his groceries and the Iaborfng man
would rather have the groceries than
the money, so they strike a bargain. OF
course. the grocer makes profit on his
goods. but listen. i'm return for the profit
he gives TO that laboring man Of Ham
rnoud something that when he goes back
home and has prepared end put on the
table, his boys and girls in his family
have something that viii make them
grow strong. give them better bodies.
He is a wealth producer in the little
city Of Hammond. Well. we say to the
grocer. you got n profit but you gave
i'm exchange for it and therefore you
help to produce wealth in Hammond.
We say to him, all right. sir you belong
in that class OF business that belongs
over here. Step right over here. Now
you 20 along the line and you may take
the lumberrnan. you may take the
butcher, you may take the doctor, vou
may take the preacher. and you may
take every one Of that class and they
viii measure up TO this standard.
Now. then. we viii 20 to the second
class. but viii not stop there 7 want
to go TO the third class. VINO belongs
IN that class? The first fellow we find
is the highwayman, the fellow who
takes your money at the point Of gun.
Now that fellow doesn't belong to the
wealth-producing crowd Well. lets go
on and we come to the gambler. who
by the skillful manipulation Of cards
gathers 20 himself profit. Now. listen.
