CHILD WITH MATCHES
SET HOUSE AFIRE
Building on Upland Avenue, Occupied
by A. B. Gale and Family, Was
Damaged, With Contents,
to Amount Of s22s.

While secretly playing with matches
at 0 o'clock this morning, the four
year-old child of AIR. and Mrs. A. B.
Gale of Upland avenue set fire to
clothing which filled a bureau drawer

The mother discovered the fire and
summoned help, whereupon John
O'Keefe and other neighbors attempted
to sguelch the flames with pals of wa
ter. In the meantime a telephone call
summoned the fire department. The
regulars responded in the fire truck and
reached the house just as the fire was
spreading to the partitions Of the house.
The excessive smoke had caused the
small water pail brigade to recede, and
had not the department reached the
house at the moment it did, the con-
tents of two hand chemicals would not
have smothered the flames, which by
this time had destroyed the bureau and
a quantity of clothing in it, discolored
all the room by smoke and blistered
the paint about the room, besides de-
stroying bed clothing and furniture in
the room.
One window frame was torn away
from the wall by the firemen, because it
was feared that sparks would drop into
the partitions and ignite below The
loss to the house, which is owned by
Mrs NJ. J. Turner, was estimated to be
about $l25, but is covered by insurance
with the McAllister & Kent agency.
Loss sustained by the Gale family was
estimated at over 800.
This house is located above the high

pressure test Chief Preble found that
with half-inch stream only 27 pounds
of pressure for one line of hose could
be secured to fight fire, while the
average pressure in most other parts of

Aliens in Last Nights
Rau

Washington, d. c., Nov. S.-Deporta-
tion of all aliens engaged in red ae-
tivities has been determined upon by
the department of justice, Attorney
General Palmer announced o-day.
Details Of the widespread cleanup OF
radicals last night and to-day show
that more than 200 were arrested in
Is cities. Mr.. Palmer has asked the
department of labor to deport all of
them.
Agents of the department Of justice
and the bureau of immigration have
been collecting evidence in these par
ticular cases for two months, Mr. Palm
er said, Practically all of those ar
rested We're Russians
Included among the material and
literature seized by government agents
in the raid We're quantities of articles
used in making bombs, a complete
counterfeiting plant, a large supply of
counterfeit banknotes, thousands of
pieces of literature described as of the
most infammatory nature, and scores
of red flags, rifles and revol1ers.
In the course of their investigations
government agents, according to Mr..
Palmer's announcement, have found
that the union of Russian workers Is
conducting an active propaganda, for d

was described as the worst anarchistic
organization in the country. It's mem

many locals, estimated by officials to

Last nights raids, however, included
only the leaders of the organization in

Officials declared that in last nights
raids they had found more forms OF
aharchistic propaganda teaching the
overthrow of government by force and
violence than in any previous nation
wide raids. Apparently, according to
officials, the Russian organization bids
fair to supplant some Of the other radi-
