his stirring story In a remote coun-

one meets also the Hornblowers. the
self-made. aggressive newcomer

Electri : Wires on South
Main Street Cut OFF BY
Lightning

Electricity played havoc with the
wiring throughout the city last eve
ming, causing fires and broken wires in
all parts Of the city. On South Main
street some Of the wires in front of
the Carroll w Martin home were
burnt off and electricians were called
to other points during the morning to
repair minor breaks.
The main damage Of the evening oc-
Cured on Smith street where six diff \
ferent dwelling houses were affected
by peculiar freak Of the lightning

sputtering badly. The electricians, who

fighting equipment was again rushed to
that section. This time the fremen
were handicapped BY the lack Of cleo
tricians who had returned home after
the first outbreak.
Reaching the scene of the second out
break the fremen found the house
belching smoke along with flames
which seemed to come from the parti-
tiens. II turned out, however, that the
lightning had followed in the lead and
all of the wiring in the house was afire
Upon entering the house it was dis
covered that the entire building was
charged with !, 200 volts Of ELECTRICITY,
making the job of fighting the fire a
difficult one. One of the callmen, who
put his hand up against wall, was
knocked fiat on his back by the high
voltage while the first man to turn on
the hose found that the charge ran
back through the stream of water,
making IT impossje1e to hold it. Realix-
ing that no headway could be made
with conditions of that kind Chief
Heney called the lighting company and
asked that they cut off the current in
that entire section for a time When
this was done short work was made of
the remainder of the fire. The damage
was not as great as might have been
expected from such fire, owing to the
prompt work of the department in get
ting to the source of the trouble. The
dwelling house is owned by f. w. Bis
bee of East street.
Three more calls were received dur
ing the morning from houses on the !.
same street and In each case it was
found that the electricity had run back

sase it was a simple matter to shot off
the current to eliminate the source of

eft in darkness without any current

LODGES GREATEST
HONOR IN HIS LIFE
Was His Participation in Disarmament
Conference, He Tells His Constit-
uents.

| Swampscott, Mass, Aug. 26.~-Sena
tor Henry Cabot Lodge in an address
before the state association Of county
commissioners and sheriffs to-day said
that his participation In the armament
conference at Washington was the
greatest honor in his life and that the
United States led in the greatest move
toward world peace when it accepted
the disarmament stipulation and ent
cred into the four power act.
Il have no apologies to make for the
results of the conference" he said.
Declaring that no alliance had been
entered into by the United States in
accepting the four power pact, he
added:
II do not believe in defensive or of !.
fensive alliances for this country. They
are breeders Of war, and never would
nor ever will sign the treaty that in
wolves an alliance.
The senator in commenting on the
coal situation said:
THAT there should be any body Of
men, whether coal operators OF min.
ers, so placed as TO have the power to
freeze the people OF the United States
is preposterous. There must he de-
vised some method Of limitation for
men responsible for the coal supply
of the country. No one wishes other
than that miners should receive high
wages for such hazardous work and
there sno one desirous of confscst-
ing the mines.
Il am convinced that the attitude
of the miners and the operators does
not essentially differ. While they may
differ slightly on such subjects as
wages and working hours they appear
in complete union on the price Of coal. "
