SAY Spontaneous
COMBUSTION CAUSE
OF PORTLAND FIRE

Portland. Me, Nov 16-Spontan-
eous combustion in the paint storage
department was believed today to
have caused the IRE late last night
in one Of the six factories compris-
ing the plant of the E. T. Burrowes
Co., manufacturers of screens, bill
lard and pool tables. cedar chests,
folding tables and other products.
While the fire was confined to the
upper two floors OF the six-story
brick building at the corner of Spring
and South streets, the damage by
water and smoke was heavy, the tot
al loss being estimated at more than
100000. This is covered by blank
ct insurance.
The entire plant was shut down
for the day. About ESQ men en-
ployed in the burning building will
be idle about two weeks.
This building is the outlet for the
entire plant, and was heavily stocked
with goods for the Christmas trade,

Says Income Tax
Makes U. S. People
Juggle With Truth

Boston, Nov. 16.-Methods used by
authorities in collecting the federal
income tax have made the American
people nation of liars, Professor
Charles J. Bullock, of Harvard Uni
versity said today in an address at
the New England tax conference
here. He said that the morale of the
people had been lowered through
efforts of federal authorities to COL
lect taxes on a 100 per cent efficiency
basis, declaring that the income levy
might be regarded as a "gentleman's
tax" and voicing the opinion that the
people resent any attitude on the
part of the government which casts
doubt on their honesty.

Egyptians Will
Demand independence
At Lausanne Meet

Lausanne, Nov. 16.-(By A. P.)-
Real independence for Egypt and the
Sudan, with the evacuation of the
British troops and no special privi-
leges there for Great Britain, is the
demand of the Egyptian people which
will be placed before the Lausanne
peace conference. Hassib Pasha, head
of the unofficial Egyptian delegation,
told The Associated Press today. His
statement revealed the fact that
Egypt, if the Egyptians have their
way, will form one of the disputa-
tious problems of the conference.
Of public works. said his great aim
was to develop direct economic re-
lations with the United States at
this conference which is SO portent-
Gus for the future OF Europe. He
added that he hoped America would
stand by Egypt in her just demands
for freedom. His colleagues. around
him interjected words of admiration
for the United States, seemingly
making it evident that at Lausanne,
as at Paris, all nations seeking full
fllment of their aspirations will
look yearningly towards the United
States.
DIR. NJ. A. Dirdiri, president of the
association, told the correspondent
that the members Of the association
would adopt every means within tie
law to prevent the official Cairo
committee reaching Lausanne or
participating in the conference.

FINGER PRINT TEST
MAY END HUNT FOR
SLAYER BROTHERS

Oxford, N. H., Nov. 16-Finger
prints of Earl NJ. Hibbard, a woods
man who committed suicide al
lumber camp outside this town last
night, were taken today for COM
parison with those on the handle of
an axe with which John and Charles
Davis. aged brothers, were killed.
The bodies of the Davis brothers,
We're found Sunday night in their
cabin here, the heads crushed.
State. county and town officials
covered at least five towns in this
section of the state today in an effort
to trace the movements of Hubbard
during the days preceding the find
ing of the bodies in the Davis home.
Hibbard's little shack, situated a
mile from the scene of the murder,
was thoroughly ransacked twice for
anything that might link his suicide
with the killing of the two old men.

as to the progress of their inquiry.
Pending the report of the expert
making the finger print comparison,
| other possible clues were being run
down.
So far the possible linking up of
the suicide and murders by the auth
critics revolved about two exhibits.
One of these was a note written oy
Hubbard on the back Of his hunting
license. and addressed to his son.
Carl. Something ais my head" the
note said. The other was shoe

search of Hibbard's shack. This

10! THE POOR INDIAN"
IS NOW A MILLIONAIRE,
OIL HAS ENRICHED HIM

Lo. the poor Indian has come into
his own!
Last week. the United States gov
eminent conducted an auction of oil
and gas rights IN Usage nation lands
In Oklahoma.
The net results from the sale
were that the Indian nation received
$4,000. 900. The sale shattered all
previous records in the amounts bid.
The Usage Indians are not the only
ones that have become wealthy
through oil, says The Oil Gazette OF
Fort Worth, Texas. There are hun
dreds Of examples on record where
oil has brought sudden and great
wealth to the redskins during the
last score Of years.
Creeks. Choctaws. Chickasaws and
numerous other tribes have been
made wealthy ' night through the
discovery Of oil on their property.
Oil is not confined to the white man
alone.
Thanks to oil. the Indians are in
creasing their riches although they
might be diminishing in numbers.
They are entitled to the wealth. For
faur centuries the Indian ace has
been pushed back. Until now 1t is
almest extinct.
The Indian is fast coming into its
own. May oil wealth develop him
into . better and greater citizen.
