Heve the fire was of incendiary origin
but the fire was still being inveSti-
gated in an effort to determine the
exact cause. The Chief further add
ed that an examination of the wir-
ing in the building showed that il
could not have been caused by de-
fective wiring as the wiring through
out the building is covered by cable.
Damages resulting from the fire ac-
cording to Chief Johnson amounted
TO about $500. The fire started in
the receiving department of the
Kresge store and worked upwards
but was quickly gotten under control

The police and fire officials today
were seeking to establish whether a

HOSE, WITH WATER
IN IT, ON FIRE

Boston, Oct. 25-The phenomenon
of flame bursting from a fire hose
through which water was = passing
when there was no fire nearby has
mystified the Boston fire departme mt.
The hose was of a standard make
well within the specifications of the
department and of the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. The fire
developed during a test of big motor
pumping engines and burned holes
through the hose in two places, each
near the engine connection flame
breaking through on the outside
Thet possibility of a spark develop
ed by friction through elongation and
subsequent contraction of the hose
under the enormous pressure of the
motor pumps was suggested by Com
missioner John r. Murphy.

in friendly spirit and Il 30 way con
stitutes an attack on the commission.
Believing that the commission has
exceeded It's authority in requiring

said that the association had every
reason to believe the commission
would be willing to have the ques-
tions placed before the courts.

Tho action instituted today took.
the form Of request for an injunc-'
ton to restrain the commission In re-
quirtng monthly reports showing
costs on tonnage and an annual re-
port of financial conditions. 1t was
recited that the commission issued
rules and instructions for the prepar-
alton of the reports, which in effect
prescribed a system Of accounting
for coal mining operations differing
substantially from those commonly
in use.' Sa&
An Injunction was requested on
three grounds: that the order, Of the
commission requiring the reports ex-
ceeded the authority vested In the
commission by congress. that II con-
gress gave the commission authority
to require such reports the act is un-
constitutional. and that any power
vested In the commission to require
such reports was transferred to the

order,
