Paving objectors who went into the

won an important step in their fight
this morning when Judge Lardin ruled
that the city should pay $7,700 to-

BOARD OF FIRE EXAMINERS
HOLD MEETING THIS
AFTERNOON
FEAR DANGER OF FIRE
n. C. GRIFFIN, OF JOLIET, is
PRESENT AT MEETING THIS AZ
TERNOON-COUNCiL TAKES AC-
TloN AT FOUR O'CLOCK.

Strenuous objection faced the con.
templated construction of $4,000
plant here by the Standard Oil Co..
ut meeting of the board Of local fire
examiners this afternoon.
Edward Claus, in the interest of the
King & Hamilton factory, who have
storehouse located near the proposed
site Of the Standard OIL Co, plant
was the principal objector. He voiced
his sentiments against the coming of
the company because OF the great ha-
zard It would be to his company and,
too. he said, 1t would have tendency
to increase the fire rates. Mr.. Claus
believed that the company should be
forced to erect their service station
outside Of the city limits. Supporting
the arguments of Mr.. Claus were !;
Joseph Peltier, George Stage and Com
missioner August Helffrich.
Joseph Peltier sighted an instance
In Alton, Illinois. where an explosion
had occurred from refinery. which is
not at all similar to the proposed plant
to be built here.
Commissioner Hclffrich played a
prominent part in the argument OBJ
jecting to the stencil that would be
caused by the location of the plant
here. He recalled an instance, eigh-
teen years ago, when q supply shed
was located near him and which he
was instrumental In having removed,
II. G. Griffin, Of Joliet, district
manager of this district was present
at the hearing. He represented that
the building would in every way com
ply with the requirements of the
State Board of Fire EXmainers and
of all the insurance companies. Nc
naphtha would be stored in the plant
1.-THE building will be positively fire
proof in every respect said Mr.. Grif
fin, and cannot see any cause Iol
alarm.
Gentlemen, as far as the law i
concerned on this proposition, yol
cannot prohibit us from building One,
we build you may oust providing yo'
prove that we are menace TO tn
community and the burden Of proc
rests with you"
1--WE came here and submitte
our plans because we want to be at
solutely fair and because we want t
build in your city
Commissioner Palmer stated that h
could not see any great danger in COZ
nection with the plant If built afte

HOUSAToNiC SINKING.

London, Feb. 5-The wave of jubila-
ton over the break in diplomatic rela-
tions between Germany and the Unit
ed States was followed today by keen
speculation as to the next step that
President Wilson would take. That
Germany is going to great lengths to
prevent actual war is shown by the
action of the submarine commander,
which sank the American ship H0usa-
| tonic. Not only was the ship warned,
but special precautions were taken to
see that the crew was landed safely
/ However. in view of the recent dec
laration of ruthless sea warfare by Ger
many it is felt here that the German
y boat fleet, despite care and precau-
tions, cannot prevent some incident
which would give the American gov
ernment caucus belli.
Comment in the press and in official
circles dwells upuon the reinforce
ment of the economic and financial
strength of the allies by the possible
entry aid that America could give
the entente powers.
1t is felt here, and this belief
is shared in all the allied capitols,
that, if the American government
should declare war on Germany the
financial and economic problems of
the allies would be solved forthwith.
Newspapers print tables of statistics
to show the gigantic wealth and
boundless resources of America
Dispatches from Amsterdam say
that the news of President Wilson
action in breaking off relations with
Germany and in recalling Ambassador
Gerard from Berlin was a shock tC

that relations with the United States
precluded any such action.
