OWED A. BOARD BILL
But JUDGE SETTLES THAT.

Raymond Lindsay worked for the
Dime Messenger Service.
He earned about SIS a week when
he paid attention to business. He
worked on a commission basis.
Recently he was sent out with
a c. o. d. package from an F street
store and was to collect SCOTS and
turn 1t over to his employers who
would then turn it over to the store.
Instead he kept the money. What
he spent it for goodness only
knows. But it went, anyhow.
I wasn't thinkin', ledge, ''he ex-
planned. 81 took the money be-
cause I was behind in my rent and
owed the insurance man and I
owed board bill"
OF course a man cannot live OF
the Willard ON SIS per. But re
can keep out of Jail on that salary
unless he's a cake-eater or an F
street butterfly.
Raymond was neither. He was
just an ordinary working boy with
no particular ambition to be any
thing elses. His standard of living
did not appear to be worrying him
any. ~, .z-........,..
+ The court sent him down the
river for IS days. He will have no
bills whatever, to pay for that PEI

PASSENGERS
CARRY VERMIN
Ten People, One of Them .
Typhus Suspect, Detained
at New York
ON THEIR ARRIVAL
FROM BOSTON
The Immigrants Came TO
Former Port BY Coast
wise Steamers

New York, Feb. l6--Ten vermin in
Tested immigrants, including one ty.
phus suspect were detained by the city
public health authorities when they
arrived here to day from Boston by
coastwise steamship lines.
Health Commissioner Copeland de
clared that he was much disturbed by
this situation as it indicated that
health inspection methods in Boston
are no more effective than at this port
Expressing hope that the suspected
cyphus case was not the real thing
he said:
IF it is we are sure to have cases
spGnging up in the most unsupported
quarters. Responsibility for the dread
full situation rests on the federal GOV
ernment. 1t seems to me that every
citizen ought TO rise in his wrath and
demand that action be taken to keep
out of this country ce-infested per
sons"
Learning that hundreds of immi-
grants had been landed at Boston by
the steamship companies which di-
yerted their ships from this port, Com
missioner Copeland had a large force
of inspectors on duty at the railroad
stations and at the waterfront TO meet
incoming trains and boats from New
England states.

the Victims

Everett, Mass, Feb. l6.--Josepll
johnson and his son, Clarence, were
suffocated in their beds when fire part
" destroyed a three-story apartment
house at Ill Irving street early to-
day. Other occupants of the house es'
capped in their night clothing, losing all
their personal belongings.
The fire started apparently in a
clothes closet at the rear of the see
ond floor apartment and worked up be
tween the walls to the third tioor,
where johnson and his son were sleep
ing. When the other members of the
family, who were on the second floor,
discovered the fire they found the up
per stairway enveloped in flames so
that it was impossible to rescue the
men above.
Joseph johnson was "a years of age
and Clarence was "a. Mrs. Anna John
son, wife of Joseph. and their son-in-
law, John Shepard, with his wife and
two small children, escaped.
The first floor apartment was occu-
pied by Mrs Hattie Shute and her
young daughter, Helen, who were also
driven out scantily clad. Most of the
damage, estimated at $1,000, was on
the upper floors. The cause OF the fire
is under investigation.

When Holden Haselton's
House in Waterbury Was
Destroyed
EDIFICE WAS BUILT
BY HIS GRANDFATHER
Building Caught Fire When
Mr.. Haselton Was Doing
the Chores

Waterbury. Feb. l6. The farmhouse
of Holden Haselton, situated at the
Palisades about two miles from this
village, was totally destroyed by fire
this morning.
Mr.. Haselton was alone in the house,
as his sister, who keeps house for him,
was in Montpelier, and he arose this
morning and about $3.50 started a fire
in the diningroom stove, going then to
the barn to do the chores and not re-
turning to the house for about an hour.
When he came in, he found the floor
around the stove on fire. However, he
was sure he could extinguish the flames
bv using snow and water and be bent
all his energies to that end, and then,
when realized that he could not sue
cessfully cope with the flames alone,
il was too late to save the structure.
Dense smoke pouring out from ev-
cry room made impossible the saving
of anything from the house and in
spite of the efforts which large crowd
Of people tried to give later on, it was
too late, except to stay the flames att
er the house and shed were gone, the
fire being stopped at henhouse which
adjoined the shed.
The house, one and onehalf story
edifiee, was built, by Mr. Haselton's
grandfather and had been in the fam
ily for a long time, Mr. Haselton him
self being born there, as well as his
children. 1t contained >riceIess heir
looms and articles made intrinsic by
their association and rarity, which were
all lost. 1t is said that the house orig
inally stood near the highway, but
spring foods sometimes completely
surrounded it and it was finally moved
back from the road, where it now
stands.
Mr. Haselton is at loss how to ac-
count for the fire. There was insur
sncs that will partially cover the loss,
