LYN ELEVATOR.
INCENOlARISM IS SUSPECTED
Superintendent of Destroyed Elevator
Believes the Explosion Inside Of
Building Is the Work Of
Bomb Planters.

. BrOOklyn.-Reports OF incendiarism
in connection with disastrous wa.
terfront fire, which destroyed an ele-
vator and nearly 100000 bushels Of
grain here were revived when Fire
Chief Kenion issued a statement say
ing the cause of the blaze would be
rigidly investigated The property
loss is estimated at more than ST.
0,OO0.
There have been 56 waterfront
fires in New York City lately, and it
is improbable that all resulted from
natural causes the chief said.
The grain consumed was intended
for export, according TO officials Of
the New York Dock company, owners
OF the elevator.
Supt. TOmlins, in charge of the ele-
yator, declared the fire was caused by
an explosion inside the structure. He
said the nature of this explosion war;
ranted the suspicion OF bomb
planter being responsible. This
theory was scoffed by Fire Marshal
Brophy, who, after a preliminary in
vestigation. said he believed an ex-
plosion o. grain dust" had occurred.
Each said the cause he assigned
would account for the blowing out of
a portion OF wall where the fire orig
mated. When the difficulty OF com.
batting the flames became apparent
svery fire boat and every other avail
able piece OF apparatus was called
.nto service.
The fire was one of the most spec.
tacular in the history OF the New
York waterfront.

Unwelcome at Home, Sol

Parent Overtakes Him

Dickinson, N. D., July 9.-Leo F.
Davis of Belfield enlisted in Company
X Of the North Dakota national
guard several weeks ago and his faith
er was the proudest man in the viii
lage. The son, too, was happy in the
thought that he was doing his bit for
his country.
After several weeks in camp the
son began to find that the life of
soldier was hard one, decided life at
home was more to his fancy and re-
turned to his father.
The meeting was not the most
pleasant and the young man took to
a trail leading to the bad lands, hay-
ing several hours start of his faith
er, who had announced his intention
of returning his son to his company.
When the father returned to his
home and found that the boy had
taken a trail which did not lead to-.
ward the camp. he cranked up his car
and started the chase. At the end OF
10 0miles the man hunt ended and the
father made his son a prisoner, re-
turning him to the camp at Fort Linz
coin, where 1T is said severe PEN
atty will be imposed.

Kingdoms, but the world will form a
federation of the United States of
Nations. There will remain only
four great giants-the Anglo Sax
ons, the Latins, the Slavs, and the
lMongolians."
Those who maintain that Keren-
sky is the man of Tolstoy's prophecy
are not swayed from this position by
the fact that Tolstoy's hero was to
appear on the stage about 1915"
Tolstoy missed a year or so in fix
ing the date for the wars beginning.
1t was very early in 1917 that Keren-
sky assumed the reins of power in
Petrograd. Like Tolstoy's promised
deliyerer, Kerensky has had little
military training.
"Kerensky is the Lloyd George of
the Russian revolution-and when
say that / say everything" declared
Isaac F, Marcpsson. the American
journalist, who was here during the
week when the revolutionary move
ment was at its height. III ever an
individual in a great crisis was a
man Of destiny, Kerensky is that
man.
"A week before the revolution
broke out his name was scarcely
known in Petrograd. Four days af-
ter the city had ridden the red tides
of revolution his name was on ev-
cry tongue.
ITO look at the man you would
imagine him to be a physical wreck.
His great eyes blaze out of the set
ting of his sunken, pallid cheeks: he
lives on his fervor and on his nerves,
collapsing like a wet rag after every
great speech he makes"
