I'll did not see John V. Piper on the
night of Feb. II. when he disap-
peared. saw him when he was en-
gagged on Oct. 10, 1916, to attend to
our furnace and met him at most four
or fve times altogether. On two OF
these occasions l probably said How
do you do to him, but never on any
occasion did have a regular conver-
satlon with him"
The speaker was DR.. William j.
Condoh, the army surgeon, accused
OF the murder Of the Rut-grs post
graduate student who disappeared on
the date given, and whose body was
found beside the highway near Spotts-
wood, n. j., four months later. Tho
defendant took the stand to-day in
his own behalf. His evidence regard
ing his movements on the night when
piper disappeared was'in line with
that previously given by patients
who called at his office that
night and who met him later
al Monigans drug store. He
told OF the visits to the house OF the
local policeman on Feb. % and OF the
call OF William J. Burns's detectives
on March "a. In each case he took
the visitors through the cellar and the
Burns men visited the attic and the
roof.
Explaining the finding OF a white
substance on the seat OF his autOmo-
bile which the prosecution asserts Is
lime, the accused said he had over
turned a can Of metal polish with
which he had been cleaning the car

your house?" was asked.

don.
O. Did YOU take body to SPOTS

the day after her husband disap-

woman came to his home AZ daylight.
she told him her husband had not
returned home that night ana she
feared something had happened to
him. AZ her request, he said, he went
to the cellar and looked around, but
found no trace OF Piper.
About the time Piper disappeared
did YOU not lose "A revolver which you
had in your house," was asked.
"A revolver disappeared from my
house some time in the last two
weeks of February, while | was In

O. A 80 calihre revolver? 4. Yes.
A revolver OF this calibrc was found

Fire Prevention Day

Fire Prevention Day is an incubation which
a community gives itself once year against fire.
Vaccination prevents typhoid and smallpox
The sore arms of thousands of American boys in
the training camps attests to the pain that ac-
companies the injection.
Fire Prevention Day also causes pain. Arms
become fatigued and backs hurt after husbands,
wives and children have removed the combustible
rubbish from attic and cellar. But the pain is
only of short duration while the benefieent re-
suits of the cleanup are enduring
Vaccination is compulsory in the military
training camps.
It's too bad that fire prevention work cannot
be made compulsory by legal statute.
Educational campaigns, however, offset the
handicap. The state fire marshal, the city's fire
chief, the schools annually engage in a co-opera-
tive movement that destroys the rubbish mimi
cal to the safety of city.
The fire waste of the United States is appall-
ing. Other nations stand aghast at the ruthless
destruction of property which we Americans per-
NIT because of our carelessness and sloth.
Fires be prevented. If every family will
destroy the waste paper, old rags, old boxes, old
accuuulations of combustible matter that col
lect, safety will be assured for thousands of
homes.
It's case of personal responsibility.
If you individually and personally believe that
you must be an active agent in preventing fires,
the work will be done. If you say, George will
do it., the chances are that George will overlook
it and will pass his duty on to the next man. So
believe that you are the person who is directly re-
sponsible for the work.
The state fire marshal has issued the append
ed suggestions to safeguard your property:
Things to do to Prevent Fires
Keep waste paper, packing material and rubbish
cleaned up, and from building at least daily
Make frequent personal inspections from a fire stand
point.
Instruct and drill employees what to do in case
of fire.
Be careful about the of matches.
Put up mo Smoking" signs, especially in hazardous
sections.
