Smashes Pole and Leaves
Live Wires In Street

A 10-inch electric light pole on
Elm street was cut off at the bot
tom at 100 o'clock this morning
by an automobiiist who left the
scene with live electric wires hanp-
ing in the street from the fallen
pole. Chief of Police John Finley
was summoned to the scene and
called the electric light workmen
who removed the death dealing
wires. If Chief Finley had not TAX
en- prompt action it is feared that
someone in the darkness might
have stumbled into the wires and
been electrocuted.
The trail of the car from the
scene was marked by zigzao
wheel mark in the road. 1t is ex-
pccted that prompt action will be
taken against the party involved
in the miXup and that they will be
called to account for their action in
running away from the scene and
not reporting the damage and dan
ger to others left after the wreck.

RED CROSS
JUNIORS AS
SANTA CLAUS
Caledonia's Boys and Girls
Packing Boxes for Lit
tie Europeans

Members of the Junior Red
Cross will again this year play
Santa Claus to thousands of still
destitute children in the countries
of Central Europe, according to
an announcement received by the
Caledonia County chapter of the
American Red Cross from Mrs
George S. Derby, Director of Jun
or Red Cross of the New England
Division headquarters in Boston.
Last year American Juniors sent
overseas 100000 boxes packed
with inexpensive gifts which they
had made or purchased. Junior
Red Crossers in the New England
division sent 10000 of these
Christmas boxes and clamored for
more to fill. Some of the Junior
auXiliaries made up packages Of
their own device because the sup
ply Of boxes gave out. All the year
letters of thanks have been COM
ing back from grateful children
overseas, and any simple gifts
also such as picture cards hand
colored by the children of the
other lands.
The Juniors of New England
enjoyed 50 well playing Santa to
their friends abroad, that some of
them had begun gathering gifts to
send this year before it had been
decided to repeat the project.

LONDON, Sept. 29-Grave
/ fears of a recurrence of general
warfare in Europe as a result of
the Near East crisis are occupying
the minds of British official circles,
it was stated this morning in au-
thoritative quarters.
The protectorate and frequently
cabinet meetings which have been
going on for the last few days have
been for the purpose of taking
every possible step for the preven-
tion of such a confiagration. 1t is
explained that these fears are bas-
ed on the relations known to exist
between the Angora government
and Soviet Russia and the poten-
tialities of such relations.
The whole British policy, it is
stated, is to keep the Turks from
crossing the Dardanelles into East
ern Thrace because it is maintain
ed that, in this event, fighting,
would certainly occur and the
whole of the Balkans would be
drawn into the struggle. The is
sue of war or peace still hangs by
a thread this morning. and there

SNOW-BURlED HYDRANTS
INCREASE FIRE MENACE

Practically every fire plug in the
city except those located in the down.
town sections where the street clean
ing department has been at work IS
today more or less inaccessible be-
cause of quantities of snow piled
either entirely over ortaround them.
Chief George S. Watson of the fire
considers this state of at
fairs something of a danger inasmuch
as 1t Is necessary for firemen to clear
the snow from about these plugs when
answering alarms before they can
make the necessary hose connections
This causes delay, he said, and natur-
ally lessons the. efficiency of the de-
partment and to add to the danger
from fires.
AS a means Of meeting this situa-
ton Chief Watson has directed that
certain number OF snow Shovels be
placed on tho fire apparatus. He ex-
planned that 1t is impossible for him
to detail members of his tire-fighting
force to go about the city cleaning
the snow from the plugs, because they
cannot be spared from their stations.
The street cleaning department event
,ually VIII get the snow from these
plugs. Chief Watson said, but at pres
emit, their. attention is. being paid to
the downtown sections and they can
do nothing more than they are do
ing.
Chief Watson said he is convinced
from the experiences of last Satur-
day night, during the rescue work at
the kpickerbocker Theater that Il
searchlight truck would be of great
value to his department BY means of
several strong searchltehts on a port
able truck it would make the work
for firemen in dark places much east er
ana more fruitful of results.

Bootleggers throughout the coun-

revision of the governments system
of distribution.
reports have been received, it was
said, that some of the government

themselves readily to rectifcation. SO

have been withdrawn in some locali-

found their way into the channels of
the bootleg trade.
Revision Of the present permit isys-

checking any diversion OF .denatured

are said to have been asked their opin-

There have been some suggestions,

PLANS To RELIEVE
HOMES SHORTAGE
Senator King Seeks to Join
Local and New York Capt.
tai in Cooperation.

Organization of cooperative
home building movement here is to
be proposed this week to members of
the Board of Trade and Chamber of
Commerce by Senator King Of Utah,
the senator said today. He plans to
hold conferences with the officials
of these organizations and point out
to them that the shortage of homes
in this city can be relieved to a large
corporation to build homes which can
be sold at a reasonable figure.
Senator King said that he was
anxious to get the local business men
interested in getting here some OF
the money which the insurance COM
panies of New York are willing to
loan for the construction Of homes
up to within GO per cent of their cost.
The purpose of such an organization
here would be, he said, to raise the
additional 40 per cent, and handle the
details of building and placing of the
loan.
Senator King, while in New York
recently, conferred with Samuel I'm
termeyer regarding the home short
age situation. AS a result of that
conference, Senator King said, he
can have sent here Immediately APP
proximately S6.000,000 for loans on
small homes.
This corporation. if formed. the Utah
senator pointed out, would materially
relieve the home shortage here, and
by bringing into effect the law of
supply and demand would automatic
ally bring down the rents which are
the cause of so much complaint in
