great architect for working people
and city officials long before the

said. as an oyster is TO restaurant

Well. speaking OF Judges. and city
bail officials, sleep used to be the
time fella would put in az night
doing nothing and accomplishing less,
except in a physical way.
Ny, how Zines DO ohangel People
these days make a success Of II both
ways, awake and asleep.
Society people, frinstance We
don't believe i'm superstition. but the
number l3 only holds good being un-
lucky in one way and that's sleeping
10 hours.
We were filling application blanks
for new nositiOn for six weeks on
account of l3 hours sleep But then,
a good sleeper could qualify for a job
IN the police department. especially
in Philadelphia, as was proven few

Start Of Fire
The fire which led UP to the disaster
started in what was known as build
ing No. 80 where shells were being
cleaned with denatured alcohol. Sever
al theories have been advanced as to
the cause Of the fire The most eener-
ally accepted, however, is that electric
wires running along the ceiling be-

irg insulation fell into the alcohol.
high wind was blowing through
the f1imsy structures which made up
the plant. The ccmpany's fire brigade
oattled vainly to check the fire, but
soon realized that the effort was hope
less. Then the alarm was given and the
employees fled for their lives.

Within an hour after the ire starte.,
almost every highway was filled witt,
refugees. Many of the women carried

pushed baby carriages.
Hundreds of mothers took refuge with
their children under trees, fearing that
shells might strike them if they RENAME

near them and they fled in terror to
other hiding places.
Most of the refugees made their way
to kingsland and Lyndhurst. Soon police
stations. school buildings, stores, saloons
and private houses were crowded with
them. Children became separated from
their parents in the excitement and it
was not until late midnight that some
families were. reunited.

Kentucky
Governor Quells
Angry Mob

Murray, Ky, Jan. LII have come
here to uphold law and order and to pro
tect this court with my own body #
necessary" was the declaration with
which Governor A. o. Stanley faced a
crowd which filled every available space
of the circuit courtroom of Galloway
county here today. Notified last night
that a mob was threatening the life of
Attorney Denny Smith, Governor Stanie !
chartered a special train and arrive
here early today accompanied by but
three or four friends.
With almost every available member
of the Kentucky National Guard mobil-
lied on the Mexican border. he was fore
ed to rely on those forces he could sum-
mon to his aid after his arrival for the
maintenance of order. His first move in
Murray was to deputize - citizens and
order them to prevent at all costs any
outbreak. His next was to make an adj
dress to the crowd which filed the court
room. For more than half hour Mr.
Stanley explained his purpose in coming
to Murray and affirmed his deterrn,rir :
ton to prevent an outbreak at any cos,
to himself and others.
"A little more than a year ago" he
sal, II put my right hand upon Bible
and called God to witness that as chief
ma gistrate of Kentucky and supporter
of the law would maintain its integrit%.
have come here today to plead with
you to allow the law to take its orderly
course and TO declare that / am here 10
uphold the law and to protect the court,
with my own body If necessary"
Governor Stanley's address was ap-
parently well received, except by a
few persons in the rear Of the court
room who set up cry Of Bring in
the negro now. Try the negro now
don't watt
The negro to whom they referred
Lube Martin. is now in jail at Padu-
cab and will not be brought TO Murray,
it was announced. until Governor
Stanley himself gives orders to that
effect
After Governor Stanley had couclud-
ed his address it was announced that
the time and place for the trial of Mar
tin would be made public later in the
day The greater part of the crowd
then filed out in an orderly manner.
The tension which had existed here
for the last "a hours appeared to have
been considerably relieved by the gov
ernor's efforts.
Announcement was made later that
Martin would be tried here on Feo. To-
