COUNTY OFFICES IN NEEDOF MORE ROO|M
 BUT CASH LACKING

No action was taken yesterday by the board of supervisors on the peti- tions of Harry Peirce, county assess or, and Miss Edith M. Jacobs. county recorder, asking for more office space The supervisors said they were well aware that the present court house Is far inadequate and very crowded, but they are unable to see their way clear at this time to plan for the erec- tion of new court house. That a new one is needed, they said, was only too well known by them.
 The board said they would en- deavor to plan a way to give the assessor and the recorder more of flee space, but the outlook at this tune. they said, is not favorable. It had been their plan for some time, providing the money could be secured, the board said, to build a 20-foot addition to the front of the court house, but the plan fell through for lack of funds
 In December the secretary of state will turn over the auto license bureau to this office, MT. Peirce told the board. To issue the licenses in ac- cordance with the new law, he said he would have to increase his clerical force and make more room for the records of the license bureau that will be turned over to his office. At present, he said, his office is crowded without the addition of more records and clerks.
 Miss Jacobs told the board her of flee had not been enlarged since the court house was built, although the volume of. records had increased many fold. Next May, she said. il yx-f1 lla tional force of clerks to handle the registration work and the present office space, she said, was more thar crowded as it is

COULD NOT GIVE FIRE ALARM.
Swanton House Burned, Bell Ropes
Fixed to Foil Halloween Celebrators.

Swanton. Nov. A. Because the bell
rope ia the Methodist church had been
tied to keep riotous youths from ring
ing the church bell on Halloween and
the rope in the Congregational church
had been cut, fire totally destroyed
the tenement house owned by Webster
Brothers of this place and occupied by

day night. Mr.. Flood and his family
barely escaped with their lives from
the burning building. They we're in
bed at the time of the fire, which
came upon them - suddenly that they
were forced to leave the house in their
night clothes They were taken to
the home OF friends. The house was
fully insured as well as the household
furnishings belonging to Mr.. Flood.
The origin az the fire j. unknown but
II is thought 20 have started in the
barn back OF the house and might pos
sibly. have been caused by children
with jack o lanterns.
After the fire had been discovered.
an attempt was made to ring the bell
in the Methodist church but this was
found 1mposSiple as the rope haa oefh
tied. II was necessary TO climb into
the church belfry before the alarm
could De rurg. BY this time, the fire
had gained considerable headway and
when the fremen arrived. il had got
ten beyond all control. Seeing the fu-
tility OF attempting TO eNtinguish the
FIRE in the burning house, they Used
their efforta to STOP the fire from
spreading 10 neighboring buildings.
The hying cmbers, scattered by light
breeze, greatly hampered the fremen
Only after a hard struggle were they
able to totally extineu.@h the flre. The
excessive heat FROM the flaming house
added greatly to the difficulty.
The loss has not been estimated but
II i thought to amount well into the
thousands.

SOLDIER TOLD
Sen. WATSON
And a Scaffold Guard Told
the Soldier 81 Men Had
Been Hanged
WITHOUT TRIAL,
SAYS THE SENATOR
Senator Edge Severely
Criticized Senator
Watson

Washington, ID. G.. Nov. A.. Senator
Watson, Democrat, Georgia, told the
Senate to-day that his charge that q
American soldiers had been hanged IN
France without trial had been based
ION the statement of soldier who
said he had seen the gallows and had
been told by the scaffold guard that
this number of men had been hanged.
Soon after Senator Watson present
ed the basis for his charges, favorable
committee report was made on the res
olution authorizing the special COM
mittee appointed to inquire into the
charges TO subpoena witnesses and pa
pers.
When the Senate convened an hour
earlier than usual to take up the Wat
son charges, Senator Edge, Republican,
New Jersey, opened with severe criti-
cism of the Georgia senator for at
tempting to place in the Congressional
Record yesterday photograph Of a
gallows said. to have been used by the
army in France
Senator Edge said that Mr. Watson
had not requested publication of the
article printed with the photograph in
Passaic, N, j., newspaper. The arti-
Gle showed, Mr.. Edge added, that it was
used for d legal execution after court
martial for an attack on seven-year
old French girl, who died from the ef-
fects of the assault.
Senator Edge asked whether Senator
Watson sought TO justify his charges
of illegal executions without trial. by
presenting the photograph of gaIlows
used in court martial execution.
Replying TO the New Jersey senator,
Senator Watson referred to the picture
showing the hanging of the negro for
an atta& on a little French girlsand de-
manded:'
Since WHEN has it become legal to
disgrace the uniform OF the American
army by hanging it at the end OF a
halter"
The Georgia senator called attention
that in the casualty lists issued during
the war there appeared the phrase:
Dead from other causes and asked
what were those causes.
We are just now beginning to find
out" he declared.
Taking up the case OF the soldier
Frye, who was killed by a sentry. the
speaker declared. he had constituent
in Georgia, who saw the commission Of
that foul crime than which no Ger
man ever committed fouler" and THAT
his affidavit would be presented TO the
Senate as soon as il could reach Wash
ington.
Senator Watson took up the state
ment Of Newton d. Baker. former sec
retary Of war, that the senators
charges were "preposterous and incred.
ible.y
Little Newt had to get in," said
Senator Watson, laughing. Poor little
Newt"

GOVERNMENT LOSES
LINSEED OIL CASE
Suit for Dissolution of Trade Asso-

Judge Carpenter.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-The government $
suit for dissolution of trade associa
tipn involving 10 manufacturers Of lin
seed oil was dismissed by Judge George
A. Carpenter in federal district court
for want Of equity in his decision filed
to-day.
Logic which assumes that because
there is an opportunity to fix prices,
therefore prices are fixed, is contrary
to the genius and logic Of our law"
said the opinion Judge Carpenter stat
ed the question involved was whether
there il anything inherently wrong IN
an agreement between producers IN Ger
tain lines to furnish each other their
prices and not to make any sale de-
WAITING from the price list without I'M
mediateiy notifying all the Others.
Business is no longer game but
d matter Of scientific calculation, said
the opinion. "a merchant cannot com
pete with another merchant unless he
knows what he has to compete
against"
