LAMP FIRES COTTAGE
(By United Press1

CHICAGO, Dec. -Four children
we're burned to death here today when
fire destroyed the cottage home of
Joseph Budak.
Four others, seriously injured, were
rushed to the hospital. The dead:
Mary Budak, 12: Sophie Budak. g.;
John Budak, 8, and Eva Budak, 1.
The fire was caused by kerosene
lamp which was left burning near a
window. Apparently the wind blew
the curtain into the flame. The fam
lily was asleep upstairs.
Michael Budak, 16, was awakened by
the smoke. He shouted to his father,
who jumped from a window and gave
the alarm
When the fire department arrived
the interior of the cottage was mass
of flames.
Firemen rushed into the Inferno.
Three children were found dead in one
room.
The mother, clasping the baby Eva
to her breast, lay unconscious in the
hall She was rushed to the hospital,
where her condition is grave The
baby was still living when rescued, but
died few minutes later.
Budak, Michael and Anna were bad
ly burned.

MAIN NTENANCE men
GRANTED INCREASES
BY PENNSY SYSTEM
(By Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, Dec. Wage increases
totalling approximately S1,800, 900 an
nuafly for 10000 maintenance of way
employees of the Pennsylvania railroad
system have been granted, John G..
Rodgers, vice president of the north
western region of the Pennsylvania,
announced here today.
The increases ranged from one cent
an hour for carpenters, painters and
masons' helpers to five cents an hour
for assistant bridge and building fore
men and will be retroactive to Nov. l.
The adjustment was reached after a
series of conferences between the
general managers of the four regions
of the road and the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn fraternity, a company organiza-
tion.
The Pennsylvania refused to settle
with the federated shop crafts when
their recent strike was terminated on
some roads and instead organized its
employees into a company union The
employees then elected representatives
to negotiate all differences with the
management.

Farmers See Way
to Saue; Will Grow,
Buy Food at Home

WASHINGTON Dec. q Farmers
should produce more of their own food
stuffs and buy less than must be
brought to them by railroad, according
to survey of opinion among $4,000
farmers made public today by the de-
partment of agriculture. Nearly so per
cent of the food consumed by the farm
ers and their families generally is not
grown by them or in their immediate
vicinity, it was shown, whereas it was
estimated that 79 instead of 20 per
cent of their needs could be produced
locally.
High freight rates, it was explained.
tend to reduce Ahe prices farmers re-
ceive for their products and at the
same time increase the cost. to them
of the things they buy from outside
localities, SO greater home production
of their own requirements would prove
economical and make them less de-
pendent upon the railroads and the
outside world. The survey indicated
that the more isolated farmers were
producing more of their own foodstuffs
than those in more populous sections
and that such was the case also
among these in the less prosperous
districts.
The smallest percentage of home
production was found in New England
and the highest, 75.2 per cent, in the
east south central states, including
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and
Mississippi.

URGE POSTMASTERS
CHOSEN ON Merit

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE Ma
tional Civil Service Reform League,
which began it's annual convention to-
day, took up for consideration the ques-
ton of removing the postoffice depart
ment from politics by bringing about
appointment of postmasters strictly on
a merit basis. Other problems en-
phasized in: its program were the ef-
feet upon efficiency in the federal serv-
ice of giving world war veterans pre-
ferred status in filling jobs. and the
appointment of political work
ers to enforce the VoIstead act
One of the chief tasks set for the
convention was the formulation of a
program to bring about amendment of
laws the delegates should find at fault
and to plan campaigns for enactment
of civil service statutes by .3S states
whose legislatures have not yet adopt
ed that method of selecting applicants
for employment.
Alleged discrimination against wom-
en- in government employment reclass-
iffcation of the federal civil service and
appointments in the diplomatic and
consular services also were listed for
discussion.

for mayor of Cincinnati; Lotta Burke
and 10 others, who were convicted in
1918 of conspiracy in connection with
the distribution of pamphlets prior to

1917, was scheduled to begin in United
States court of appeals today.
Former United States District At

U. S. ARRESTS $4,000
ON LIQUOR CHARGES
DURING FISCAL YEAR
fBv Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE wide
spread extent of prohibition law VIC
lations which has caused concern to
President Harding and cabinet was
revealed today in the annual report
to congress of Attorney General
Daugherty.
Approximately $4,000 persons were
arrested by the federal government
for violation of the national prohibi-
ton law during the last fiscal year,
according to the report. Civil cases
prosecuted by the government during
the same time numbered 2,157.
These criminal and civil actions,
however, represent only small part
of all the arrests made in the United
States for the same period. Nearly
four times as many more arrests were
made by local, county. and state. Off
Gals for violation of state and county
dry statutes, it was estimated.
Federal officials convicted 22.749
persons in criminal cases and secured
a total of 100000 in judgments in the
civil suits.
The population of the federal pris-
ons for the same period increased to
6.395 compared with 5,26S for the last
i. w,
in-law of President Harding and SUI
perlntendent of prisons, reported. The
increase was held due largely to in
creased violations of the anti-drug act,
counterfeiting and violation of the
postal laws.
White Slavery Decreases
White slavery is on the decrease,
william j. Burns, head of the bureau
of investigation of the department, re
ported. A total of 1885 years in pris-
on was imposed on the 1926 persons
convicted for white slavery. Burns
stated. Fines totaIed S386.743.
Practically all organized white
slave gangs have been broken up, with
their members either in jail or in
hiding in foreign countries, Burns re-
ported.
Attorney General Daugherty recon-
mended to congress the enactment of
law to prevent the sending of
threatening letters through the mails.
This recommendation, it was indicat-
ed, is designed to curb the activities
of certain secret societies which send
warnings through the mails before re-
sorting to floggings and other terror
istic tactics.
Other recommendations made by
Daugherty include:
A law to make it a crime to kill a.
federal officer engaged in serving or
executing a process. The present law
simply makes it crime to assault,
beat or wound federal officer.
A law to make it a crime for sin
gle individual to attempt to defraud
the United States.
To increase the statute of limita-
ton for criminal prosecution in bank
ruptcy cases from one to three years.
TO increase the allowance of de-
partment of justice officials, when
travelling on business, from "a and SIS
per day to Sc and ST. The high cost
OF living makes this necessary, Mr..
Daugherty holds.

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Peace in the coal
Industry was as far away as ever to-
Gay following the sudden adjournment
of the joinS miners reorgan-

ence broke up when the opposing
forces realized it was impossible to get

The matter will be brought I'D again

ing, January 8, when the reorganiza,

This meeting will be held in Chi
cago instead of Cleveland, as originally
planned.
Il am unutterably opposed to any

miners said
Miners are ready to agree to any
plan which does not include arbitra-
ton or the weakening of their nation
al organization by placing the respon-
sib1ity of wage negotiations on the
separate districts, it was learned on
high authority.
Operators on the other hand insist
that arbitration and district wage

oner NJ. F. Stewart remained set in
his opinion today that James A Wilk-

the Logansport schools, had committed
suicide, although no plausible motive
has been developed thus far to support
that contention. Mr.. Wilkinson's body
