is 10 be regretted. for # would be
hard to find a more significant and

his undisputed skill to picture the
American as rough. uncouth and
without any OF the finer qualities.

Think Galveston Fire Was Started
 by Radical Gang

Galveston, Tex, Oct. 2.-Fire de partment officials tonight were re- luctant to definitely commit them selves as the origin of the disas- trous waterfront fire which broke out early this morning and which was unchecked late tonight. The fire was slowly eating it's way through 15,O00 bales of Mexican sisal stored in section A of pier fl. The local firemen are being assisted by Texas rangers and national guardsmen, re- gently brought here in connection with a strike of longshoremen. Nc estimate of the damage was ob- tainable tonight.
 The expressed theory that the blaze was of incendiary origin was seemingly strengthened tonight when a department of justice oper- ative arrested an alleged radical said to have made slightly remarks about the government.
 According to the authorities, the man worked as hardware clerk here, is 33 years old and natural ized American of Swedish descent He is being held for investigation.
