FIRE THREATENS
COLFAX BRIDGE
Heat From Steam Pipe lgniteS
Covering - Controlled
With Difficulty.

A fire which originated in a wood
en- box covering Of an Is inch steam
pipe under the Colfax av. bridge
was the cause Of much excitement 10
Christmas shoppers Saturday night.
The pipe running from the Indiana
and Michigan Electric Co.'S plant
to the downtown section had been
recently covered with sawdust and
shavings TO keep the pipe from freez-
ing during the winter months, and
in some mysterious manner caught
on fire underneath the east end of
the bridge. and finally worked it
self 10 the middle pier, by the time
the hose carts arrived.
IL was with great difficulty that
the fire fighters were able to check
the flames for after checking it in
one place another portion would
break out. Employees of the 1. & NJ.
gave much assistance to the fremen
by supplying them with several
planks that they strung along I'M
der IN Orders of the bridge and
succeeded in controlling the fire.
According to the theory of r. a.
Bryan Of the electric company. the
fire was caused by intense heat from
the pipe which ignited IN dry shaw
ings and sawdust. No damage re-
suited other than the destruction Of
the covering

ATTORNEYS PLAN
To DOUBLE FEES
Increased Costs of Living
Claimed by Lawyers for
Raising of Rates.

According 10 one Of the prominent
members Of the ST. Joseph County
Ear association a special meeting of
that body will be held sometime This
week 10 take final action in regard
20 the advisability OF increasing at
torneys' fees in this county. IL is
said that a short time ago at a meet
ing Of the barristers every membe-
OF the association was unanimously
in favor Of increased fees. and a
special committee Of three was APP
pointed 20 consider the exact
amount Of the proposed increase
and present it az the next meet
ing.
II is understood that the commit
tee has given the increase due con-
sidCration and VIII report 10 the
members that they have decided 10
double attorneys fees. This means
that where they formerly CHARGED
S25 for divorce suit the new price
will be $50. the same ratio to ne
maintained i'm other cases.
The reason given by Lawyers for
the increase in fees is due 20 the
great increase in living expenses
that have been encountered in the
last few years.
The doubling of fees viii not be
the only matter of business taken
up at the next meeting, but laws
governing the bar association that
have been lying in the archives for
years unenforced will be brought
down and Immediately put into eff
feet.
The most important of these laws
vhich will be enforced is the one
which forbids members of the asso-
Z citation TO assist non-members in va
rious cases.
