DANGER OF FIRE FROM
EXPLOSION OF LIQUOR

Both the administrative board and
the mayor have been requested by tie
board of fire commissioners to take
steps toward relieving the 'conges-
ton in the cable room in the City
hall basement. The room is the base
of all wires running into City Hall.
IT is also the storing-place for all con-
fiscated liquor. The latter appears TO
have, the ascendency at present. The
administrative board has referred the
matter to the police justice who has
control of the situation, being GUS
todian of the only key to the room.
The mayor said yesterday he would
see what could be done. 1t Is likely
that Building Inspector Butler will be
appealed to for relief. He will be i'm
portuned to find another location for
the liquor
In presenting its plea, the fire board
points out the dangers from fire. II
a fash of lightning should penetrate
into the room. fire and explosion
may result, and If the City Hall burns
down many valuable papers In the
city treasurers office may be de-
stroyud. ---------------
All parties to the affair appear to
be in quandary, but it was said by
Justice Crutchfeld yesterday that II
another convenient place is found for
storing the liquor, he will be glad to
remove his holdings.

De Soto's Romance.

Fernando de Soto, the Spanish ex-
plorer, is associated with much of the
early history Of this country. He Is
best remembered as having been the
first European to look upon the Mis-
sissippi

Pedro de Avila. To prevent the mar
rage, De Avila induced De Soto to
accompany him to America, where he
had been recently appointed governor
Of Spanish possessions in the west
ern hemisphere. This was in 1919.
In 1927 De Soto served in the eX-
petition to Nicaragua under Fer
nandez. and in 1928 he withdrew en-
tirely from the service of his patron.
In 1887 he returned to Spain and
married lisa bella, who for more than
fifteen years had waited faithfully for
