FIRE LOSS

Fire destroyed storage houses OF
John G. Johnson and the Esch com
pany located in the block east of the
Chicago and Northwestern station yes
terday morning. Mr.. Johnson's damage
was estimated at between $4,000 and
$1,000. s, His loss included the sheds,
dsmage to two trucks recently pur-
chased and a quantity OF building ma
terial, including about $500 worth of
roofing. The Esch company lost
about $500 worth of hay. The build
ings were mere storage shells. The fire
started by the back-fring of the motor
of one of the Johnson trucks. The
south side fire force were away at a
small blaze in the Seventh ward and
the north side department misunder'
stood the phone call and went to Mr..
Johnson's warehouse on York street.
They had four-hour fight with the
temperature about IL below zero when
they got to the fire. They kept the
blaze to the two warehouses, no small
task as the hay on fire imperiled the
frame dwellings and hotel near by.

EARLY WINTER

Mantowoc woke up yesterday morn
ing and found the mercury flirting
with the minus IL mark in the tube.
Many had it as low as II or 20 below
but Miss Luep's government instru-
ment said IL below. 1t had been nearly
down to zero for several days before
that and with the heavy snow on the
ground, and apparently there to stay,
the winter seems to have gotten an
early start. The temperature did not
get up to zero all day yesterday and
with the coal shortage in the country
everyone had dismal forebodings if
the weather did not soon moderate.
Later-The weather changed last
night and this morning the trermome-
ter registered 8 above zero.

ELKS MEMORIAL

The local. odge of Elks in common
with every other Elks' lodge in the
world held memorial services last Sun
day. The exercises were held at the
clubhouse and large crowd was out.
The general Grafton was given by
Ralph G. Plumb and he justified his
reputation as a scholar and thinker. :
Individual eulogies were given for
members who died during the year as
follows: for Sherman Killen, L. w.
Ledvina; for M. j. Auermiller, Walter
Dorsh; for Cornelius Madsen, II. l..

LOCAL FUEL SITUATION

Manitowoc will again be darktown
just as in the sadly remembered days
not long ago, before Ludendorf and
Hindenburg yelled "nuff."
The coal strike shortage of coal has
again brought that well remembered
functionary, the fuel administrator, to
the fore. The two local railway agents
are fuel administrators for the county
and rules are going out about unneces-
sary illumination. No one with a
weeks supply of fuel on hand can get
an order filed. The theaters, billiard
halls and other nonessentials will prob
ably be shortly closed Further orders
are expected daily. Manitowoc is said
to have very much larger supply of
coal on hand than the average town
but that won't help any.
Tuesday the rules for fuel conserva-
ton were given out. Office buildings
will put out their lights at 4 p. m. and
nearly all industrial plants in the city
will close at 4. Unnecessary illumna-
ton will disappear entirely Stores are
restricted to six hours of lighting Al
though the miners will probably be
back at work this week, officials say
that the fuel restrictions will probably
be in force for at least thirty days.

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES
FIFTY YEARS AGO

The gentlemen appointed by ouI
citizens as committee to look after
our railroad interest, have returned
from their journey, and report that
everybody, sall along the lake shore
from here to Milwaukee, are wide
awake to the Importance of this road,
and are ready to make any arrange
ments or do anything that is necessary
to ensure the success of the projects.
The people of Milwaukee are also
ready and anxious to do anything in
their power to secure the road
The committee further report that
all that can be done is now being done,
by railroad men, to push along the en-
terprise That at the coming session
of the legislature, a charter will be OBJ
tanned to build a road from Milwaukee
to Lake Superior, and that the location
of the line of road will be left open
for bids, that is, that the road will be
built upon that line which will give the
most towards building it. The time
will soon come when the lake shore
towns, villages and cities will have a
chance to put in their bids, or against
the bids of the interior towns; when
that time comes, we must out-bid every
other route.

AFTER SOME CHeESEkAkERS

Hans Puellman of English Lake and
Charles Bleser of Alverno each plead
ed nollo contendere last week to a
charge of conducting an unsanitary
chese factory. Each was fined $25 and
costs. Both alleged facts in moral JUS
tification that did not affect their legal
liability The state inspectors who
visited the county were not very COM
plimentary in their remarks as to many
local factories. They are reported as
saying that the amount of milk skim
med for a starter is altogether out of
proportion to the necessities in many
cases. About the only waythat they
can catch a cheesemaker at this prac-
tice is to see whether he has more
cream on hand than he should have. A
number of cheesemakers are said to
have been summoned into the district
attorneys office and given a lecture on
the laws governing their business.

The OPEN bridge draw has claimed
another victim. jerome Dick, one OF
the city's leading young business men
went into the north draw of Tenth
street bridge about 6 p. m. Saturday
and drowned Mr.. Dick was driving a
Milwaukee salesman over to the Chl-
cago and Northwestern station in a
Ford touring car. The witnesses tell
the story about as follows: The car
came southwark on Tenth street at
good clip. The drivers companion,
Mr.. La tennessee, called his attention
to the open bridge. Policeman Lash
stepped out in the street and warned
him. The captain of the carferry pass
ing through blew two sharp blasts of
his whistle to warn him. A lady
shrieked warning. Mr.. Dick evident
Iy tried to stop, but the car kept on
going and he turned into the curb at
the brink. The momentum overturned
the car into the river. La tennessee
Jumped or was thrown out before It
went over and escaped unhurt. Moth
ing was seen of Mr. Dick until his body
was recovered four hours later clear
of the car.
Mr.. Dick was born in Belgium In
1884 and came to America in 1906 ana
to Manitowoc from Green Bay in 1910.
He and his brother purchased the
Chapman kerry, for many years the
Christianson bakery on Buffalo street
and made a success of the business. Is

half.

SOLDIERS TONE SPEECH

Last week a meeting was advertised
to be held at the Opera house by a
socialist celebrity in the campaign to
create sentiment for the release of all
political prisoners" meaning convict
ed slackers, persons convicted under
The espionage act and other war duty
yiolators.
The local post of the American
Legion gave out resolution it had
adopted which, after long preamble,
read in part as follows:
Resolved, by Guy Drews Post of the
American legion assembled in regular
monthly meeting, that we condemn as
un-American and unpatriotc the eff
forts of agitators to release from
prison conscientious objectors and
other criminals convicted of offenses
against the government in time of war
Resolved, That ii is the sentiment of
this post that no greater insult can be
offered to American soldiers and sail
ors than the public advocacy of slack
ers, towards and traitors.
b Resolved, That we use all lawful
means to defeat these agitatofs ai.d 10
stop their propaganda.
Resolved, That we, who did our duty
in time of war, now solemnly demand
that those who refused to do their
duty take the full consequences; that
not one of them be pardoned or re-
leased; that they serve out their sen
tences; to the endthat shirking shall
not be encouraged in eXigencies which
may arise in the future.
The word got about that the ex-sol-
diers were going to be at the meeting
in force and go "over the top" if the
utterances of the speaker seemed to
get beyond proper limits,
In anticipation apparently of an eX-
citing time the Opera house was full
The red big gun did not come and
Christ Kliczka, Milwaukee under
sheriff, substituted. The atmosphere
was charged with suppressed excite
ment while the speake carefully word
ed his opening remarks about free
speech" The front rows were filled
with former soldiers which the speaker
well knew. That he had some sympa-
thizers in the crowd was frequently
evident but they were greatly in the
minority
The speaker devoted about ten min
utes to the advertised subject, War
Prisoners" During this time he was
continually heckled, Kissed and booed
but he handled the situation admirably,
never lost his good humor and showed
ready wit. He then launched into a
sterotyped socialist harangue which
occupied most of the evening and ev-
eryone took it quietly. He knew what
the crowd was there for and stated
that they wouldn't have a chance.
During the rough quarter hour there
was a lot of clever badinage and quick
wit back and forth.
Several people were heard to say GO
ing out that it was pretty clever work
to get a capacity crowd to come and
listen to a socialist speech

Denmark Has oldes. Flag.

The flag of Denmark, plain red
banner. bearing on II white cross,
is the oldest flag now in existence.
For more than 500 years both Nor.
way and Sweden were united with
Denmark under this flag. In the year
1912 King Waldemar OF Denmark,
when leading his troops TO battle
against the Liyonians, saw, or thought
he saw, a bright light in the form OF
a cross In the sky. He held this ap-
pearance to be a promise of divine
aid, and pressed forward to victory.
From this time he had the cross
placed on the flag of his country and
called II the Dannebrog-th is. the
strength of Denmark.
