SHORT CIRCUIT IS
 CAUSE OF 2 ALARMS
 OF FIRE LAST NIGHT

A short circuit, due to defective wiring, last night caused two small fires, both of which were eXtinguish- ed without any damage The fics' fire was in the home of Charles Rog. CTS, onLFifth Street. The wiring be- came hot on the roof and for some reason the switch in the transscrn,- CT did not blow out. The insulation OF the wire was burned off and the ceiling was starting to blaze when the Department arrived
 Shortly after the first fire was eS- tingulshed, some one noticed the same kind of blaze starting in the house of E. D. Vaut, around the cor. uer from the Rogers home on Sew ard street. This was also quickly checked. In responding to the alarm, fhe fire truck was forced to climb the hill backward as the gasoline !n the tank was low and on the heavy grade the engine would not pick up it's oil.

Douglas Fairbanks is reported to have turned down an offer of $1O,- 900 Q week and if such is the case he has established a new record of weekly salary offered and rejected. This trebles the salary he received from Triangle, which at the time he left was said to be about $S,OOO q week.
 Caruso and Bernhardt, the high est priced stars in grand opera and drama, must take a back seat when Douglas Fairbanks grin looms on the horizon. For Fairbanks grin is worth more than Caruso's voice or the divine Sarah Bernhardts art.

Mitchell Has Good Record but
 No Punch.

Ritchie Mitchell, who aspires to annex the lightweight crown, is a youngster, 21 years of age, and has been boxing since 1912. He has boxed Kilbane twice in no-decision bouts, and has also met Charlie White and Johnnie Dundee, and his recent bout with Welsh was his sec ond with the champion. Evidently Mitchell is a light hitter, for in spite of the fact that he has met a large number of mediocre boxers he has not registered a knockout since 1914, when he stopped Benny Chavez in two rounds.
