SECOND BLAZE AT
 CORRAL SUSPICIOUS

The police are Investigating the cause of fire at the City Ice Delivery stable on East Adams street near Fourth street at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning. It is the second time this month that a fire has occurred at the corral. The fire yesterday morning de- stroyed $500 worth of hay, or two thirds the quantity on hand. and water and smoke rendered the balance unfit for anything but bedding for the horses. There was no insurance.
 The property is owned by $. D. Lount. Fire Chief William Simmons interviewed MT. Lount yesterday, after which the chief made the following statement: MT. Lount said he knows of no person whom he can suspect of setting fire to his property; that so far as he knows he hasn't an enemy in the world. The fire appears incendiary. A short time before it was discovered by the Watchman two men were seen by a neWSbOy to run from the corral across a vacant lot. The last fire at the corral was on the night of October 6. This fire was confined to one bale of hay, the watchman and others hav- ing dragged it from the pile before the fire could spread"
 When equipment from fire station Nos. ? and 3 arrived at the corral the whole structure was in flames. Ordi- narily there are 30 horses stabled there but all except nine had been taken out on duty. The nine were safely re- moved. Besides the hay, a small quan- tity of harness was destroyed. The damage to the building was not large l There is no insurance.

EVEN WITH MILK 15 CENTSA QUART MANY
 DA|RYMEN QUIT

Something Of an anomaly appears to
 lie in the conjoined facts that milk is up to l5 cents quart and that many dairymen have gone out of the busi- ness of supplying Phoenix custom. The milkmen still operating affirm they are making little or nothing through their industry and blame their troubles on the high price of feed and their inabil ity to secure help. even at the highest wages ever paid in the valley.
 Practically all have cut down to a single delivery a day and they are in- clined to refer to recommenda tions from Washington that all milk deliv- cries be confined to the daytime and to places considered most convenient to the milkman and not according to the caprice of the householder. They are also drawing in the limits of their de- liVeries and it is considered probable that before long there will be little doubling of milk routes. with it's very apparent economic waste.
 These questions have rather been pressing upon the dairymen since the war has taken so many of their stall wart employees. Just now they are bearing an added weight due to sick ness.

KEEP EARS OPEN ID
 REPORT D|SLOYAITY

Adjournment of the federal grand jury yesterday followed a recommends ton to the people of this district that each and every citizen should be alert to report to the United States district attorney any evidence of disloyalty. While making this appeal, caution and discretion is urged in every instance.
 We have made investigations of many cases of disloyal utterances," the recommendation reads. While we are satisfied that there is ground for the charges, and they show a deplorable lack of patriotism, we feel they fell a little short, in our opinion, in justifying the return of indictments. We recom- mend increased diligence on the part of all patriotic citizens in promptly re- porting to the United States attorney such evidence as they may obtain, re- specting such violations The state ment was signed by Ezra w. Thayer, foreman. and Frank Mosshammer, clerk.

MESA, Oct 16.-Mesa district is more than s40,00O over its apportion- ment so came the report from Mrs. Stadlman yesterday at the close of business. The total amount subscribed to date is s160,150.
 This amount does not include s9,000 that Mesa district has turned over to Gilbert.

Chandler and $500 from Leonard Nets were trans ferred as properly belonging there. This latter town, by the way, has a heavy allotment and is doing strenuous work in it's endeavor to line up with the 100 per cent list.

Thomas D. Shaughnessy, chairman of the highways transport committee of the State Council of Denfense, has received notice from Washington that L. A. Mares of Fresno, California, has been appointed regional chairman of region No. II, which includes Arizona, Nevada and California.
 With the appointment of Mares the work of the highways transport com- mittee will get under way. Shaugh- messy explained yesterday that the committee has for it's chief purpose the conservation of motor power and the elimination of waste, in that trucks will go loaded both ways between cities, towns and camps, and not loaded one way and light the other way, as has been the practice heretofore. He said it will be the means of saving millions of dollars and assist largely in the elimination of congestion of traffic on railroads.

Prevalence Of Spanish In

 Holding Big Annual Event
 Unwise Says Commission

The Arizona statofair has been post beginning on December and continu- ing all that week.
 This change in the date of holding the annual big state event was decided upon yesterday at meeting of the state fair commission at which were present committees from the Phoenix chamber of commerce, the Merchants and Manufacturers association. the Maricopa County Realty board the State Council of Defense, and state, county and city health officers. and was because of the prevalence of Span ish influenza in the state. The meet ing was held at the chamber of com- merce.
 Medical Board Acts
 Following the decision of the state fair commission, at which was present the entire board, a committee from that meeting met with the Maricopa County Medical association last night. After a discussion of the situation resolu- tion was adopted by the medical asso- citation recommending that the state fair be postponed, as was done by the fair commissioners.
 Thomas D. Shaughnessy, state fair commissioner and formerly secretary of the fair commission, said last night: 'The first week in December will be just as well as the regular week in November for the holding of the fair. The commission wishes to carry out the fair this year, as in former years, under the statutes authorizing it, pro- Viding it is considered safe to do so. Many preparations have been made for the fair this year and there are many interested financially and otherwise. Therefore we would hesitate in calling it off entirely.
 May Cancel Fair
 "We had planned on big crowd this year, owing to many new attractions booked. One of these is the govern ment train of three cars containing all manner of articles of war replicas and miniatures of battleships and other ex- hibits the government has taken great care in preparing"
 Shaughnessy expressed as his opin- ion that the fair would be held in De- | cember. Others, however, expressed | the opinion that it would not. Secre- tary Boyce of the fair commission saiC that the Los Angeles Liberty fail scheduled to meet October 12 was post poned for two weeks and that it so up- set the plans of exhibitors that it was decided yesterday to cancel the fail entirely.

Y. M. c. A. In Italy.

The Y. M. c. A. in Italy, as every!
where else, has asserted itself in a
most splendid and generous manner.
While the red triangle, known the
world over as the sign Of brotherhood,
Is much in evidence in the italian war
zone, the four letters "Y. M. G. A." are
nowhere to be seen. The reason given
for this Is that the Italians, in general,
are opposed to any organization of a
public nature which is controlled by a
religious or sectarian element, a
Washington bulletin says. Such a IT,
tie as that of the Y. M. G. A. would
create a certain feeling of mistrust
among the Italian people as to the pur-
poses Of the association.
The officers Of the Y. M. G. A. in
Italy have been quick to appreciate
this and In order to work in full har-
mony with the Italians have changed
the name Of the association to $50
sieta (di) Fratellanza Universale" or
Society of Universal Brotherhood"
Accordingly, the letters rs. F. u" have
everywhere been substituted for Y. NJ.

WROTE MESSAGES WITH DYE
Material for Invisible Writing Used by
German Spy Was Obtained From
Silk Hosiery.

A cleverly designed method Of out
whiting the government officials and
furnishing information to the enemy
was revealed in the early days of the
war by the arrest Of man in Pater-
son, N. j., by naval intelligence Off
GERS.
The man, held as an alleged spy In
Jail in Brooklyn. is said to have
come from Holland and to have been
employed In a silk dyeing establish
ment In Paterson. His unique method
of sending messages to Germany
called for the use of silk hosiery of
peculiar dye. It is said that he had
received a dozen pairs of these socks
from German agents in Holland and
that his method was to soak them in
water and use the coloring matter
which they gave forth as a writing
fluid. AS this dried it became invisible
until brought out by special process.
which, however, the federal agents are
said to have worked out.
They, in turn, in learning the secret,
opened his letters and changed the
contents and forwarded the letters,
The information thus received by the
Germans proved of little use to them.
But for long time, it is said, there
was not enough evidence on which to
convict this man, until one day
through carelessness he left one Of
the socks where a naval intelligence
officer found it When confronted with
this the man is said to have confessed
to the entire project.

IN HONOR OF DR.. VAN DYKE
Costly Organ Installed by Grateful AS
sociates In Church of Which Noted
Man Was Pastor.

A new pipe organ has been installed
avenue and Thirty-seventh street. New
York, "in gratitude for the ministry OF
Henry Van Dyke" Doctor Van Dyke,
who was until recently American am
bassador to the Netherlands, was for
more than twenty years pastor of this
church.
The new organ, which Is one OF the
most complete and is today perhaps
the most modern church organ In the
United States, Is a four-manual instru-
ment Of 120 stops and 5000 pipes, with
electric action. 1t is really a combina-
ton Of six Organs-great organ, swell
organ, choir organ, solo organ ana
echo organ. The installation includes
also set of chimes. The echo organ
and chimes will be placed above the
ceiling at the rear of the church, over
the apse. The other parts of the COM
bination, are inclosed, each in its own
swell box, and all in one general swell
box, placed in the choir gallery over
the front entrance to the church.
Though the new organ is considerably
larger than the one which it replaces,
no architectural change is evident,
much of the instrument being con-
cealed behind the walls. e. M. Skin
ner Of Boston is the builder of the new
organ, which has been under construc-
tion since the summer of 1917.
1t Is understood that the organ cost
in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
fund was contributed by members OF
the congregation asa tribute to their
old pastor, under whose leadership the
worship of the Brick church was great
ly enriched and beautified.

AS to source Of the toluoI need.
ed for f0sives, 1t is pointed out that
there hs been recently great in
crease in the number of by-product
coke ovens in this country. However,
says the Scientific American, If 2O,OOO,-
900 tons of coke are made in these
ovens during the present year we shall
get from this source only 100000
gallons of toluol, which is about one
fourth as much as the government. es-
timated it would need for munitions.
Another promising measure recently
inaugurated is the stripping of city
gas Of this material, which can be
spared without any serious detriment
to the gas, and amounts to about O4
gallon for each 1000 feet of gas. II
is estimated that ten of the largest
city gas plants of the country win
yield about 100000 gallons Of
