State Fire Marshal Newman T. Miller
declared that the Indianapolis campaign
is having a remarkable effect upon the
rest of the State. cities in all directions
taking up the work with splendid results.
Fire Chief John c. LOucks spoke of the
remarkable aid to the fire department
which the crusade has been and Battalion
Chief John J. O'Brien, appOintee Of
Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank for fire
chief after Jan. ?, pledged the aid of
the department under him to continue to
cooperate with Mr.. JOrdan's committee.
indianapolis can save S1.0O0,0OO year
in insurance premiums if the people will
begin to form habits of carefulness in
stead of carelessness,' said Mr.. Jordan.
Three mistaken notions must be COM
batted, he said. They are: 1. That there
is something mysterious about fires and
that fire loss is necessary evil. OF the
fires in 1920 % per cent were preventa-
BILE. 2. That fire loss is borne by the
insurance companies. Insurance premium
payers bear fire losses. 8. That the fire
department should shoulder the entire
responsibility for curtailment Of fire loss
and that the only satisfactory way to
decrease fire loss is to increase efficiency
and size Of the fire department. People
seemed to have grown more carless as
the fire department was Increased.
THREE COMMITTEES
TO BE NAMED.
Mr.. JOrdOn was granted permission to
name three committees and Mr.. Miller,
Ernest L. Kingston, appOintee for chair
man Of the board Of public safety under
bIr. Shank; Chief OBrien and Mrs A. 7.
Fleming, president of the Seventh Dis
trict Federation of Women's Clubs, were
named to assist him in the selections.
These committees are to do the following
work:
1. Gather information in regard to
State laws and city ordinances covering
individual liability for fires due 10 care
lessness and neglect" and to prepare
such a bill for Introduction at the next
session of the Legislature.
.. Formulate plans for the most
thorough spring cleanup the city ever
has had clean up vacant lots by neigh
bOrhood organizations, plant flowers in
vacant lots and promote a city-wide
scheme of Identification through planting
Of flowers. shrubbery, trees, etc.
8. Give consideration to amendments to
city fire protection and prevention ordi-
nances to cover changes such as permit
ting bonfires on written authority from
the chief Of fire prevention and making
more rigid laws in reference to construc-
ton and maintenance 81 fues.

FRANKLIN, Kas, Dec. 16.-Backed by
the steel bayonets and old fashioned cav
airy sabres of State troopers, the law
began today to exact its penalty for the
rioting in the Kansas coal fields.
Sheriff AIilt Gould and his deputies
az noon began serving between 800 and
600 warrants on members of the Amazon
Army" in this district, the stronghold
OF the military women marchers.

slated, however, that the arrests today
veil no more than fill the Jail. Additional
charters for prisoners Will be ready
by the time he serves the remainder of the
warrants.
Quiet reigned throughout the district.
Under protection of the troops, many
mines which were closed down by the
Amazon marchers in their three-day of
fensive" were reported working again.
STRIKERS SHUT OFF
Fan IN SHAFT.
The first brush between strikers and
guardsmen occurred at $50 o'clock. Eight
strikers swept down on mine No. 81 Of

which supplied air TO the workers in
the shaft. The men inside the shaft
Ringo rode to the scene and with drawn
sabres dispersed the strikers. No ar

WARNS TROOPERS NOT
TO START LOVE AFFAIR.
So full of possible complications did
the situation become that Colonel Rowan
issued a strict ultimatum against the
troopers starting love affairs with the
young women.
1--WE are here for business, not on i
social spree" Rowan said.
-"AlI further developments in the coal
fields today were enveloped in more
mystery than a musical comedy although

demobilized AmazOnians early today con-

Crowds gathered around the soldiers

laughed and flirted unhesitatingIy with
the khakied and sabred troopers.

Today, while you
are sitting back,
c h ! e +, apparently
considering your ad-
ministration nicely
self-whitewashed, an
other of your July
Fourth prisoners pre-
sents himself as a wit
ness.
Look at the picture
of this mans mouth,
Chief Soaring. He
was struck, he testi-
fies under oath, by an
officer in the patrol
wagon and his lip
gashed open and two
teeth knocked loose.
A week afterward he
bears the ugly wound.
This man declares the
former accounts of
the July Fourth hor-
ror were, in the main,
correct and unexag-
gerated.
Since Friday The
Star has been the re-
cipient of dozens of
telephone and per-
sonal calls, and not a
few letters from still
other citizens who
have observed vari-
Gus acts of brutality
at the hands of Seat
tie police officers.
Where there is so
much smoke, Chief,
there unquestionably
is a smoldering fire.
You ought to be in
telligent enough to
know that the people
of Seattle are not go

conditions, once they
have the truth about
them.
You clean up
