A fire alarm was promptly turned in and the flames quickly extin- guished upon the arrival of the fire fighting forces.
 Other attempts made by the fire bug, were first at the residence of George J. Bookman, S32 Woodlawn avenue, Woodlawn, where he was heard by occupants about 10 o'clock, attempting to gain entrance to the building. but he was frightened away.

 Although the five commissioners had not agreed unanimously on n second man for the board. 1t was agreed that R. K. Moore, president of the state Federation of Labor. would be one of the selections.

Robert Malone Achieving Fame in East In Cartoons
 and CaricatureS
sso.2so.s1s.6s

Robert James Malone, son of ". N. Malone. who has been successfully engaged in ths real estate and in suranoe business in Baltimore the past two years. has launched into a profession especially adapted to his natural tastes and talt dts and one which he has tried out successfully on the side before entering into 1t in earnest.
 MT. Malone. is now doing cartoon and caricature work for tho Balti- more Sun, for Judge and for other publications. Recent examples of his work have appeared in the Sun daily and have attracted attention not only on account of tho bril- liancy of conception, but the artistic finish of deta..s. Especially excel lent portraiture sketches of Edith Mason, the prima donna, and Lucien Muratore. the celebrated grand op- era singer, have appeared sim llta- neously with clever political car toons.
 Among some of Mir. Malone's par ticularly keen snd artistic carica- lures of recent appearance have been those of William Allen White and Max Beerbohm, international celeb rities.
 Birmingham artists who have seen MT. Malone's work declsre 1t dis plays unusual initiative. He uses very dark backgrounds to bring out the lighter shades with daring eff feet and is quite successful in that line. There is an acknowledged dis tinction about all MT. Malone's draw ings, whether caricatures, cartoons or pen and ink sketches of promi- nent persons.
 Mir. Malone was famed for his work with pen and ink when at Auburn college but sidetracked his rem ark able talent and made good in other fields. In the past few months. how ever, his tentative entrance into the art world proved such a solid one that 1t has become permanent and he is rapidly gaining reputation in the metropolitan fielc along with em- ployment by first class papers and magazines.
