AND TOWNSPEOPLE
HUNTING FOR FIREBUG

UNIONTOWN, Penn, Dec. 27-
Fears that Fayette county had been
invaded by an arson ring were ex-
pressed today when fire destroyed a
building today causing a loss of
$150,000. The owner of the building
was arrested but was later released
pending a hearing.
Excited because of the incendiary
fires hat have destroyed so much
property in this county during the
last few months the townspeople
came out en- masSc at the sound of
the first alarm to help the fremen.
The fire seemed to have had its origin
in the boiler room and quickly spread
throughthe building and threatened
adjoining property. Members of the
state police watched the crowd hop
ing to find some evidence that would
lead to the arrest of the frebugs. AL
bert Smith, the youth arrested BY the
state police in connection with he
fires in Fayette City, is under obser-
vation in the county jail as to his
sanity. Residents of jefferson, Wash
lpgton and Perry held a mass meet
In9 Sunday night and urged the state
police "to hunt the fire rat down or
our own measures viii be applied"

SECY. HOUSTON AGAINST
THE BONUS BILL

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-That
the passage of the soldiers bonus bill
would cost the United States $780,
100000 was the estimate of Secretary
Houston todav before the Senate f.
nance committee which is considering
the measure. The Secretary declared
the passage of the bill meant an ad-
ded burden in taxes, re-iterating his
statement made before the committee
last week that the United States
treasury ought not be called upon
to assume any additional burdens. He
believed his estimate was substantial
ly correct, though the land settlement
provision of the bill contained so
many uncertainties that the cost en-
tailed could only be guessed at.
