tests the state found some twenty car

now under way is expected to break
up the epidemic in the oil refinery
town. 1t was necessary to engage two
additional technicians in order to
make the tests.
State Isn't Paying.
For sometime the boards laboratory
has been running an average of 500
to 400 tests day. The work costs
money. But the state isn't paying the
bill. She is merrily sending officials
and employees on tours of investiga ton
and to attend hearings and confer

surveys regarding everything from
the length of sheets in hotel bed rooms
to size shoes worn by the poor woik-

Irish Unionists Remain Big OBJ
stacIe to Agreement.

London, Nov. Irish peace negoti-
, ations between representatives of the
British government and the Dali
Eireann were resumed at the official
home of Prime Minister Lloyd George
today.
Michael Collins and Arthur Grif-

After the meeting wnich lasted
thirty-five minutes 1t was stated that
another committee meeting of confer

When the meeting broke up, the
members We're grave faced and their
gloom showed that little, if any, prog

dominant parliament.
The members said they did not
know if they would meet again to-
night or not until tomorrow.
Ulster remained today the chief
difficulty to be overcome, but the
prime minister's weighty reference in
his address to the cost of failure was
taken as the eXertion of pressure on
Ulster to reach an accommodation

attitude, Prime Minister Lloyd George
feeling bound by his pledges, would

Hussey's Deputies Make an Ar

Kansas is becoming a mecca for
firebugs.
Incendiarism reports reaching the

shall, during the last few weeks have
broken all records. Because of the
big increase in fires of questionab abIe
origin the department is swamped
with demands for Investigations. AS
result of existing conditions it is
probable that expert investigators may
be brought to Kansas from other
gang which is presumed to have oper-
ated recently in several counties.
Fires Started by Amateurs.
While there is evidence of opera
tions by an organized force of fire
bugs, it is also apparent that many of
the mysterious fires have been started
by amateurs Financial stress is be-
heved to have been responsible for
the starting of many fires.
At present the state department is in
charge of long list of prosecutions in
various counties in the state. Most of
the arson charges are against men and
women who are charged with setting
fire to property on which they had
secured a maximum amount of insur-
ance. Marshal Hussey believes that
fires in several counties. tho, are the
result of work of well organized
gang of firebugs who work for hire.
Busy Winter Ahead.
at looks like a long, busy winter
for the departm ent," Hussey said to-
day. I'VE are going after these cases
and I believe we will round up a rec
ord list of incendiarisms in the next
few weeks. 1t is likely that it will be
necessary to employ experts from
other states to help with the work.
Plan for this campaign are now being
worked out"
Today investigators in Hussey's Of
flee wired that they had caused the
arrest of H. F. Aurell at Mcpherson.
According to records in the state de-
partment Aurell has had two or more
mysterious fires. The latest fire in
property owned by Aurel occurred
Sunday morning. His arrest followed
investigation by the state department.
TO Probe I4enora Fire.
Request was received by the fire
marshars office today for a probe of
county. Another request for investi-
cation came from Cowley county
where a rural school building was
burned.
Saffordville, Chase county, reported
a mysterious fire today. So did
Tampa, Marion county. Request for
investigation of a fire in a store build
ing at Salina was also received.
Hussey stated that calls for state
help exceeded any period in the his
tory of the department which was
created by the 1913 legislature.

City Loses Suit Of Woman Injured By Fall On Ice
 Covered Steps Here

A verdict for s1O,OO0 for the plain tiff was awarded by a jury yesterday evening in the superior court at Tombstone in the suit for $50.000 for damages for personal injury brought by Mrs. Georgia Hirsch against the City of Bisbee.
 According to counsel for the city a motion for new trial will be made.
 Mrs. Hirsch was injured on Novem- Der 5, 1920, by falling on the Muheim steps that lead from Brewery Gulch on Youngblood avenue. The steps were covered with ice at the time and Mrs. Hirsch slipped. It was charged by the plaintiff that some of the steps were missing and that they were out of repair and unsafe for use.
 Doctors Reese, Ferguson. and Ran dolph were appointed by the court as technical witnesses. Dr. R. J. Stroud of Douglas testified for the plaintiff The doctors testified that Mrs. Hirsch is suffering from hernia, and Dr Stroud that there are also neuras thenic complications. There was much argument as to whether the ac cident occurred on city property, the defense contending that the steps are only partly on city property
