FIRES GIVE EVIDENCE
OF INCEND|AR|SM
Two Blazes Thursday Morning EX-
tinguished Without LoSS-At-
tempt to Capture Alleged
Firebug Fails

Two fires, both of alleged incen-
diary origin. were eXtinguished by
the Pullman fire department Thurs
day morning before damage had been
done. The first fire occurred at
1890 and was in a cellar at the Vo-
cational club house on Maiden lane,
the fire starting in a pile of old mat
tresses. In the belief that the fire
was of incendiary origin the four vo-
cational men who, are occupying the
house during the vacation period de-
cided to stand guard during the re-
mainder of the night. At 2:40 a. m.
one of the men looking from a win
dow saw a man cross the street at a
rapid walk and a second later saw
flames burst from a shed so feet dis
tant from the Vocational house.
The second fire was started in a
pile of shavings, excelsior and waste,
with every evidence that oil had been
used. AS soon as the flames were
extinguished the vocational men,
firemen and police officers made an
attempt to capture the alleged fire
bug. but failed. A good description
of the man believed to have started
the fires was secured, however, and
arrests may follow,

WOULD MASS TREE
PAINTINGS IN PARK

Varieties of trees to be planted
are not so material as the placings,
said Professor r. NJ Turner in dis
cussing the proposed reforestation OF
the city park this week. Mr. Turner
made a detailed study Of the city
tourist park, which he mentioned as
nice park, but not a thing OF
beauty. Masses OF trees, with open
spaces at intervals. was, in general,
the plan OF reforestation suggested
by Mr.. Turner. The main paintings,
he said, should be along the north
side of the park, to shut off the view
of the railroad tracks, and he sug-
gested that eyergreens would be a
good variety to plant there. As the
first movement toward the improve
ment of the park from beauty
standpoint, he urged the filling OF
the old creek channels and the plant
ing OF grass.

rive Farmers Through Extension
of Rural Route No. 3

Five farmers who lost rural route
mail service when route No. . was
changed and extended recently. are
afforded relief in an order from the
postal department received by Post
master Ira G. Allen which extends
No route to serve the five families.
The new order extends No. route

miles long. The extension to route
No 3 will leave the present route at
the Richard Smith corner and run
one mile northwest to the NJ. A.
Draper place, thence retraCe, serving
Sam Breeze, O. A. Greenwich, Rus

urated January 2, and the extension
will mean an annual cost to the fed

The petition for the change,
signed by the five farmers and en-
dorsed by Postmaster Allen, was sub
mitted to the postal department, but
was not considered favorably. Later
Mr. Breeze, one of the farmers inter.
ested, took the matter up with Con-
gresham John w Summers, with

-Four Hundrey FOrty-Five Boys and
Girls Receive Bags of Candy and
Nuts Assembly Sings
Christmas Carols

Four hundred and forty-five bags
of candy and nuts were distributed
to the boys and girls of Pullman at
the community Christmas tree Sat
urday evening, according to the re-
port of Lieutenant A. B. Pence,
chairman of the American Legion
committee in charge of the affair.
When every child had been present
ed with a bag only three remained
of the 44S prepared.
The community tree was a success
full affair, estimates placing the at
tendance at over 500. The assem-
blage, under the leadership of E. w.
Thorpe, sang numerous Christmas
carols and Rev. J. G. Law led in the
Lords Prayer
The several churches were in
charge of the distribution of baskets
of edibles, clothing and toys. and DR..
w. A. Spalding reported that 4 fam
lilies were provided with Christmas
cheer through the good graces OF
the Legion and other organizations.
The Christmas survey of the com
munity disclosed the fact that there
is not a single case ofedestitution in
the city, and only the IA families
were found who needed temporary
relief. More cases of need are ex-
pected to develop as the winter adj
vances, however, and numerous To-
cal agencies, including churches
lodges and other civic bodies, are
ready to assist toward affording re-
def to all worthy persons.

resulted. Pine Tree scout patrol of

per for the guests at $50 and all
the delegates pronounced it a cult
nary effort worthy the most expert

lively agreed to maintain the sum

WOULD MAKE No CHARGE
FOR CAMP PRIVILEGES
Chamber of Commerce Endorses Pro-
pOsal to StandardiZe Tourist
Camps But Would Make No
Charge to Tourists

Free camping privileges, free fuel,
the services of caretaker and shell
ter from storms will be recommend
ed for tourist camps for towns in
Pullman's population class by Pro-
lessor o. l.. Waller chairman of the
chamber of commerce committee on
roads and parks, who will represent
the local chamber at the meeting to
be held in Spokane January Z when
tEc so@risJ park question will be dis
cussed, with view to standardizing
park facilities and equipment. Rep
resentatives from civic bodies
throughout the Inland Empire will
attend the meeting, which is called
primarily for the purpose of reliev-
ing competition among the various
towns and cities in the matter of
conveniences made available for mo-
tor tourists.
AS a result of Investigations by
the parks committee of the chamber
and a full discussion at the meeting
of the organization Tuesday, Profess
sor Waller will go to the meeting
with a we'll defined impression of
the desires of the people of Pullman
in regard to the matter of tourist
park facilities. Among the specifi-
cations suggested for parks in towns
of Pullman's class, were the follow
ing:
Caretaker at least for a few hours
in the evening, with police powers
Adequate ovens for cooking, either
concrete or brick.
Plenty of shade.
City water, electric lights, toilets,
shower baths and rain shelter build
ing.
Uniform register system, to list
names of party, destination and car
number.
No charge of any for above con-
yeniences.
Reports regarding tourists elected
for cause to be sent out through
some designated official, preferably
the secretary of the commercial or
gationzation.
The committee reported its belief
that a tourist park with the con-
yeniences enumerated is fully within
the means of community of Pull
mans class and that standardized
ton along these or similar lines
would result in benefit to all con-
cerned. In the discussion of the
question of making charges for park
privileges or for wood, the concensus
of opinion was that the returns TO
the community, in good will and
otherwise, would compensate for the
expense to the community.
Plans for the construction of a
shelter building, with shower baths,
toilets, cooking rooms and other fea-
lures are now being formulated. 1t
is probable that the building will be
constructed by the members of the
chamber, under the direction of a
competent carpenter.

Dublin, Dec. 12.-The division of
opinion among members of the Dali
Eireann is not limited to the quesc
ton of approval of the treaty with
Great Britain signed in London last
week. .
Some Sim Fein leaders, who
think the treaty is a. good one,
agreed with Eamon de Valera, the
Sim Fein president in believing
that it emlbodies such a departure
from the policy previously submit
ted to the south Ireland electors
that it'can not be accepted without
a direct and fresh mandate from
tho various constituencies.
The Irish newspapers in Dublin
generally urge that since the dele.
gates at the London conference
were plenipotentiaries Ireland Is
bound to stand by their action but
some journals hold the view that
the powers of the delegates were
limited by the unnegotiate should
come before the dali for ratifca.
ton.
Sim Fein observers today point
ed out it would he difficult to re-
fer the matter to the country in
view of the fact that the scheme OF
elections in south Ireland is one OF
proportionate representation on a
basis unsuitable for deciding such
direct issues.
Throughout today's informal dis
cusisons at the Mansion House it
was evident that the personal rela-
tions Of the leaders who oppose
each other continue to be most
friendly
None of those who have attempt
ed to estimate the numbeE Of Mr..
De valera's supporters in dali has
placed the number at less than 40,
and in some quarters it is forecast
that if division should occur the
vote will probably be close.
