GOOD SHERLOCK HOLMES WORK.

Unless you want fight, don't mention Fords or Flivvers to Dick Hoffmeyer, proprietor of the Orient, at Lowell. Dick has had a Ford for several years, which he has nursed with all the care teething baby would receive. A daily bath and plenty of lubri- cants kept the little machine looking and running like new. Though the Ford has been Hoff- meyers hobby ever since le ac- quired it, he has not been stingy with the little car and Las al- ways invited his friends to make use of it. Every day it has stood across the street in the shade, and the boys who wanted to take a rest and a little smoke and "gass" bit have found it a com fortable reclining place. Sun day afternoon four or five of the young fellows were perched up in the car all afternoon. Hoff- meyer drove it home that even ing as usual, curried her down, put her to bed in the garage. Next morning he boarded the flivver and found the hear seat had been completely burned out. Why the whole car didn't go up in flames will always be mys- tery. MT. Hoffmeyer started an investigation at once and found that one of the boys had dropped a lighted cigarette in the uphol- stering, which had ignited. He even found the cigarette stub, a Chesterfield. Ha, Watsonl The mystery is almost solved. Find the young man who was smoking Chesterfield cigarettes Sunday afternoon. No sooner said than done. AS a result of his clever sleuthing, MT. Hoffmeyer will get damages for the injury to his pet car, but he will tell the world that cigarette smokers are barred hereafter.

sHAW'S VULcANIZING WORKS
 SEIZED FOR TAXES


 DOUGLAS, Aug. 16-The vulcan izing machinery and other fixtures and belonging of the Shaw Vulcan izing Works at the corner of Thir- teenth street and G avenue were seized this morning by Chief Deputy Assessor Walter Thomas, who is in the city from Tombstone. The seiz- ure was for the taxes of the current year, which amount to $49.38 with costs of seizure and sale to be added. Notice will be given of the sale date and the property will be sold publicly to the highest bidder in case the taxes are not liquidated.
 Mir. Thomas says that other delin- quent property is being looked up in this city and that unless demands for tax payments are complied with other seizures will be made. The law makes it the duty of the assessor to collect the taxes on personal property, when assessment is made if the own CT has no real estate and in default of bond for the taxes.
 The vulcanizing plant has not been in operation for nearly two months. Mir Shaw having closed the place and left town. e9Ss

SPEAKING OF COLD STORAGE.

While in Chicago a couple of weeks ago, Ed Tovrea, the Bisbee packer and cold storage expert, got enough of cold storage for one day at least. Some of the Tive ones" connected with the packing houses of the Windy City, who had met Mr. Tovrea and learned of his business, invited him to a dinner and when the crowd had assembled around the luxurious table, the waiter brought on a couple of chicken, informing the big Western CT with considerable pride that they had been in cold storage for twenty years. MT. Tovrea is fond of chicken and a firm believer in refrigeration, but this was little too much for him and he baked.

 You might as well talk about squeezing the water out of the mort gage on the house you own as about squeezing the water out of the bond ed indebtedness of a railroad. If the government bought the railroads from the stockholders it could not honestly and honorably get rid of the bonds on the railroads any diff ferently from the way the road priv ately owned could get rid of the bond ed indebtedness. All the roads could be thrown into bankruptcy and auc- toned off at forced sale if the gov ernment insisted on it, with the bonds extinguished by the bankruptcy pro ceedings. Or the bonds could be paid off Or the bonds could be refunded. Otherwise the bonds would have to stick.

HONEST TO LAWN. IT'S TRuE.

 Did you read the Octavus Roy Cohen story in Saturday Evening Post a few Weeks ago about the two colored fighters who met in the ring, only to find that each one had bet on the other? Cohen describes the efforts of each man to lose in an amusing manner, but for a real "punch" to the story he should have inter- viewed G. J. Kelly, the boxing promoter and baseball scout, who was in town this week. Kelly was refereeing a bout on the coast where the two boys, it proved, had each placed a bet on his opponent and both were try ing their best to lose without be- ing assassinated by the crowd. Finally one of the lads, a quick CT thinker than the other, evolved the only way out. He suddenly began fighting like a demon, and smashed his opponent a right handler on the point of the jaw. "Here's where I win" thought the groggy pugiIist as he eagerly sank to the floor. But the other boy promptly walked up and kicked him in the face, losing the bout on foul.

It never seems to have occurred to Addicks that, after all the gross scandals in which he was involved, the presence of a man of his charac- ter and reputation would not be toll erated in the senate. He could not understand that anything in which he attained membership would be for ever tainted. The whole story of Addicks' political career is told when it is remembered that from the time he stopped spending his money he had neither supporters nor friends in Delaware.

NO PROTECTION.

New York Herald.
 It is often asserted by advocates of government ownership of public util- ities and of interstate industries that it will stop strikes because working men will then be working for the gov ernment and not for private owners. But the government is operating the railroads now and all employees are government employees, and yet strikes are on and more are threatened.

VIOLENCE USED
BY BOLSHEvISTS
TO HOLD POWER
Leaders Cannot Control Fac
tons, Declares Witness at
Propaganda Hearing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IL Violent
practices of the Bolsneviki to main.
tain themselves in power were re-
counted at the Senate Committees in
quiry into lawless agitation in this
country.
Little definite evidence of Bolshev-
list propaganda in the United States
was presented, although one witness,
Prof. Ralph Dennis, of Northwestern
University, Y NJ. c. A. worker, ex-
pressed belief that well-organized
propaganda system had been develop
ed in this country. Another witness,
Russell M. Story. of the University of
Illionis, who recently returned from
Russia as Y. Nj. G. A. worker, said
he had received the impression that
people in this country have very
active and honest desire" to know
about the Bolshevik system.
The committee will decide tomor-

Americans who have defended Boil
shevism in speeches or published arti-
cles. Louise Bryant, speaker at a

which BolsheviSm was explained, to-

Robert Leonard, of st. Paul, for
mer Y. M. C. A. secretary, who was
imprisoned for six weeks by the Boil

charge, told the committee today that

suppression of counter-revolution or

litical opponents, including many So
cial revolutionaries only a little less
radica than themselves.
Lenine and other leaders, he said,
were considered sincere, but they
could not control Bolshevist organiza-
tions throughout Russian provinces"
and that many excuses and abuses
were committed without knowledge of
the principal leaders.

WEST VIRGINIA
GAS RULING may
AFFECT INDIANA

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The West
Virginia legislature has just enacted a
law providing that all natural gas
companies of the state shall satisfy
to the limit of their ability all de-
mands for gas made upon them by
West Virginia consumers. both COM
mercial and domestic, before piping
any of their supply outside the state.
The law effects several thousand do
nestle consumers Of natural gas in
Indiana and Ohio, to which states the
West Virginia gas is now piped. About
twenty Indiana towns and cities are
dependent upon West Virginia gas for
fuel for cooking. Since the West Vir-
ginia factories are permitted to use
pected that the time will come when
the state will have no surplus for out
side consumption.
Conserved This Winter
AS conservation measure, Indiana
and Ohio factories have been prevent
ed frim using the natural gas this win
ter, the supply being restricted to the
domestic consumers in those states,
but it is reported that the companies
distributing gas in those two states
are anxious to let down the bars again
to the industries. Whether the United
States fuel administration will permit
this modification of it's present order
will be determined after a hearing to
be held early next week in Pittsburg.
The fuel administrators of Indiana
and Ohio have just received word of
this conference. 1t is expected that
thy will oppose the modification, es-
pecially in view of the action of the
West Virginia legislature. 1t is said
that the central Indiana gas company
hopes to show that the mild winter
has so changed the gas situation that
it can supply factories as well as do
mestic consumers. 1t is understood
here that domestic consumers in Mar
ion, Richmond, Muncie and other In
diana cities are ready to protest
against a withdrawal of the fuel adj
ministration's order.
