INCINERATOR
QUESTION STIRS
Entire Subject May be
Threshed Out Again in
Council Tonight
OFFICIALS NOT
UNITED ON PLAN

That burning question, the pur-
chase Of an additional garbage in
cinerator. is likely TO be considered
again by City Council in committee
OF the whole tonight. As there is
considerable difference OF opinion as
to the type or make OF plant best
suited to the needs OF the city and
its cost, It is possible the entire situ-
alton will be threshed over again.
It was practically agreed on Fri
day, January 20. at a conference in
Mayor Havey's office attended by
members OF the health and finance
committees OF Council and the city
Health Board to buy a Davis plant
capable OF incinerating 70 tons OF
garbage every twenty-four hours
and to cost $4,000. In spite OF this
agreement, however. II is understood
that members OF Council who are
not on the committees mentioned
are not satisfied with the Davis
idea.

Thinks McGolUan Is Among
Best of Umpires at 20 Years

1.-THE circuit and used him a number
OF times.
"Bins rise was rapid. In 1914 he
brandished the well-known indl-
Gator in the Delaware County
League: quite a sporting circuit II
was. too. at the time. And the next
year found him in the Virginia
League. He was back with the Del
aware County League In 1916, but
in the last two months OF that year
at the age OF 20, served in the Inter-
national
"In 1917 lie was in the Blue Ridge
circuit. and 1918. war year, saw him
in an industrial plant. In 1919 BIZ
received an offer to start the season
in the international League. He was
put on the staff on probation. but at
once made good. and has been one
OF the leading arbiters in this big
minor circuit ever since.
"AI the time Bill was studying
the umpiring role hard. He watched
the veterans closely and did not hes
itate to ask questions. He also. for
lauite a while, carried on a corre-
spondence with the late Pete Harri-
son. OF the National League staff.
This increased his knowledge OF in
/ tricate plays. with the result that he
has developed into an official with a
well-grounded mastery Of the posi-
tion.
ct never found my youth any Sc
rious handicap declared MCGOWAN.
Tn guyed a bit in a good-natured
way. but nobody makes any issue
OF it..
Back in 1916, when 1 finished
that season in the international
League. l umpired a game in Balu-
more. / was the ripe old age OF 20
then, and I confess that I looked
more like a messenger boy than an
umpire. Bill Kopf was playing sec
ond for Baltimore. and as soon as
he saw me he yelled:
What high school sent that kid
here?'
"T made no reply, but in two or
three innings the whole team was
for me. Kopf included.
"I have now been in the Interna-
tional League three seasons, and am
no longer reminded Of my youth ex-
cept by major league veterans who
happen TO be spending their first
season there. My appearance gave
both George Stallings and Fred Mer-
kle a mild shock last spring.
"Of course. McGowans umpire
career has not been without the
usual untoward incidents that are
the disagreeable side Of the office.
"He was the international League
umpire in the little world series
played in Baltimore and Louisville
last fall one Of the games played
in Louisville resulted in a near-riot
"McGowan had nothing but clos'
decisions that day. and, of course
the crowd was furious. Hundred
Of pop bottles were hurled at him
Finally, in the first half OF the nintl
inning, with Baltimore leading. J.
to 3. MCGOWAN declared the gam
forfeited to Baltimore, . to o. It wa
the first time a game was ever for
= feited in a special series. but tn
youth was equal TO II.
Before the series ended, tn
Louisville players were fair enoug
! to say that he had been right.
"A young man with Bilrs amb
( ton, spirit and earnestness is sur

3O-year mark. it is almost certai
that he will be on one OF the majo

TO BREAK TRAIL ON

NEWARK. Feb. 1.-"Pete" Stiltz
son of Alfred c. Stiltz. who
conducts the bus line between
Newark -Ell1ton and Wilmington will
make an effort this afternoon to
break a trail through the Lincoln
Highway to Wilmington. This road
between Newark and Marshallton
has been closed since early Saturday
afternoon when one Of the busses
made a trip to Wilmington. There
are still some deep drifts in the road

Mine outof ten umpires in the big
minors and the two major leagues
are the oldest persons on the playing
field when a game is under way. 1t
IS a different narrative when Bill
McGowan is handing out the deci-
sions, says James c. Isaminger, in
the Philadelphia North American.
Bill. who is spending the winter in
PHILADELPHIA. is one OF the best jumps
in the International League, and he
has seen only twenty-six birthdays
Not only that. but he is so boyish
In looks that new players in the In
ternational League. when they first
see him think he is the bat boy sent
bv the manager to the plate to give
the batting order to the proper Off
ciai
rBm is the second umpire in
America to make 1t plain that a
sharp-witted young man with keen
eyes who masters the rules and
never loses his head. can make good
as umpire without playing ten or
twenty years on minor or major
league diamonds.
"The first was Bill Evans, OF the
American League staff, who has no
superior as an arbiter and who was
as young as MCGOWAN is today when
he received his first trial from Ban
b Johnson.
AT best. II takes a mountain of
grit to be an umpire. There are
scores Of men who spent many years
in the majors as players, who failed
utterly when appointed TO the UNI
pire staff after they had finished as
players. As players they faced thou
sands with perfect poise and conh-
dence.. but on the same field as UNI
pires. they went into a panic and
forgot everything they knew OF the
rules.
"Therefore. when a mere youth
without the prestige OF long playing
experience and without friends on
the teams making it easy for him as
they can. tries his hand at umpiring
the odds against him are seemingl,
overwhelming. Therefore, when
Evans surmounted these obstacles
some years ago and McGowan il
doing the same thing today. II speaks
well for their ability.
.'AIcGowan was 16 years old wher
he umpired his first game. As SCOT
as he could read he always turned
10 the sport pages OF the newspapers
first He was raised in Wilmington
Del. and at the age Of 16, con-
rributcd baseball articles to a VII
minEton newspaper. He specialized
in the independent field.
"His elder brother, Jack, umpireo
the biggest games in that vicinity
one day the brother turned 10 bll
and said: GO to New Castle, Del.
and umpire a game for me. You
get S2." The fact that Bill never
had umpired before made no dter'
ence. He accepted and went to New
castle and umpired the game. Attel
4 was finished the New Castle man
.oer handed him 81 and said
Young fellow. you umpired al
right. We will want TO use yo'
again"
.rhat started Bill OFF, and he be
gan TO pay serious attention TO um
piring. In the meantime he had bee
playing baseball. hut he believed h
would never rise far as a player an
decided TO concentrate on umpirinl
The next year the Tristat
League invaded Wilmington, an
Bill had a chance to show himse
IN a professional game when one q

so satisfactory that George M. Ora

 OVER CHICAGO
 BUSINESS BLOCK
Fire Consumes Entire Block History Building Burns;
 $5,OOO,00O Loss

CHICAGO, Mar. 14.-Fire covered an entire city ti".k, including a 21 story office building, and several small manufacturing plants, causing a loss estimated early today at S5.0OG, 900. One firman was fatally injured when a wall collapsed ant anotter fireman was seriously injured. The fire was still furiously burning at 2 a. m.
 The fire, starting in the Austin Building at South Canal street and West Jackson Boulevard shortly af- ter midnight, spread rapidly and at 1:30 a. m. the entire block bounded by Canal, Van Buren and Clinton streets and Jackson Boulevard was reported burning.
 The flames were famed by high wind. An hour after the fire started calls for special apparatus still were being run in. The district is largely made up of wholesale houses and lor- ty buildings.
 The Burlington Building, in which are some of the offices of the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad, caught fire and many night employees were driven out. The Metropolitan West Side Elevated structure was burning the length of a block. The intense heat drove firemen back and a num- Der of small manufacturing concerns were burned before there could be an organized effort to check the confla- grafton.
 Shirley T. High, city fire attorney, said the fire gave indications of be- ing the worst in Chicago in years.
 The heat broke the windows in the Mercantile Trust X Savings Bank and special guard of policemen pro tected the institution. A series of gas explosions and others of undeter- mined nature scattered burning ma terial over the firspen. One of the firemen was injured when a wall of the Burlington Building fell. Origin of the fire was unknown two hours after it started.

CHARGE COTTON
 [ EXCHANGE B|G
 BUCKET SHOP
Witnesses Say Unbusinesslike Methods Characterized All
 Operations of Exchange

NEW YORK, Mar H. - Charges that the American Cotton Exchange is a huge bucket shop, where actual trading is rare and where the south ern speculator is at the mercy of the New York broker were made today by former members of the exchange at a John Doe" investigation con ducted by the district attorneys office before Chief City Magistrate McAdoo
 Witnesses testified to numerous in- stances of "cross trading" fictitious orders, dummy accounts, "scalping,' secret manipulation of unrecorded transactions, sensational advertising designed to woo the business of small spectators In the south, and undis- guised bucketing of orders.
 w. B. Wilson and J. H. Watson members of the firm of Wilson & Co, which was expelled from the exchange last February 28 on charges that they had warned their clients against fur ther dealings with the institution, were principal witnesses for the pros ecution.
 When there was cotton for sale in the ring, we made bona fide sales for our clients" Wilson testified. But the southerner, who is an optimist about the cotton market, almost inva- riably bought. AS a result, there sell dom was any cotton for sale, and brokers simply 'bucketed' the orders. taking a chance on covering them selves when cotton eventually was of fered in the ring
 Several gilt embossed pamphlets, distributed throughout the south by New York brokers, were introduced as evidence.
 These should be called to the at tention of the postal authorities" :" Magistrate McAdo told the prescott ing attorney.
 The investigation will be continued Thursday.
