Fire Started by Gas Plate
Under 100 Gallon Still at
GIG Pearl Street. =
NAB OTTILLEE CICCHINE
Police Find Garden Hose Con-
nected to Gas Main Where
Meter Had Been Taken Off.

Fire broke out in the coil room of
the "Cicchine Distillery," 916 Pearl
street, at 3:05 a. m. today.
The fact that Ottillee Cicchine, pro-
prietor of the plant, had neglected
to go through the formality of OBJ
tanning federal permit for the dis
tillation of spfrtuous beverages, led
the district attorney to issue war
rant for his arrest this morning.
The warrant charges possession Of
still, mash and moon.
Another warrant will probably be
asked for by officials of the gas COM
pany, it was stated.
The only mystery which still re-
mains unsolved is. the identity of the
person who turned in the alarm.
Neither the police nor the fire depart
ment officials have been able to find
anyone who would admit that they
summoned the fire fighting apparatus.
Fire Damage Slight.
Although the house was filled with
smoke, the fire had been extinguished
before the arrival. of the department.
Firemen found that the smoke was
thickest in the basement and in trac-
ing it to its course discovered that it
had been set by a double-burner gas
plate under a 100 gallon still. e
The gas burner was standing on
several boards. The legs of the plate
only raised the fame about four inches
from the boards, and as a result the
boards had started blazing. The still
was still boiling
Police officers, who always accom-
pany the fire apparatus, were outside
the building. AS soon as the discov-
cry of the still was made they were
summoned. 1t was then that other
highly illuminating discoveries began
to be made.
Tracing forty-foot length of gar
den hose from the gas plate led to
the discovery that the meter had been
disconnected and the hose connected
directly to the gas main. AZ unique
connection had been devised so that
when the still was not in operation it
was but the work of moment to re-
connect the meter and hide the hose.
In another part of the basement
Police Captain Emil Clausen and Of
ficers George O'Hare, Perry Tussler,
Edward Pecan and Otto Pollesch, dis
covered II barrels of mash and be-
tween 25 and 80 gallons of moonshine.
Capt. Clausen Immediately ordered
Cicchine taken into custody and lock-
ed up until morning when warrant
could be obtained. Police say that in
dications are that the "distillery" had
been in operation on two shifts, day
shift and night Shift, and that the
blaze led to drying up one of the
wettest spots in the city.
The records of the fire department
show that the blaze did mo damage"
Cicchine, however, will tell a differ
ent story.

Coax Putting Bill the
Second" to Make Trip

Munich "Puffing Bill the Second,"
which is a reproduction of Putting
Bill the First" the oldest locomotive
in existence, now in the Kensington
Museum in London, apparently does
not like the atmosphere of Munich
Although German engineers went to
London in 1905 and made drawings
from which the Munich machine was
built, no effort was made to run it
until short time ago. At first the
strange old engine refused to bulge.
It emitted large quantities of smoke,
but was balky and stubborn.
Both the engineer and the fireman
were dressed in the garb of 100 years
ago and wore brown silkhats, which
greatly amused the spectators who
watched their efforts to persuade the
the locomotive to run on the miniature
track built on Museum Island At
last they mastered the creature, and
coaxed it into several trips
Putting Bill the Second" is 25-
horsepower affair, and is supposed to
have speed Of miles an hour.

John Putt Still
Continues to Live
Despite Announcement of Physician
That Injuries Were Fatal, the
Patient Lingers On.

John Putt, who was struck by
grey Standard touring eight, driven
by Joe Camilli Of Chicago on Memori-
al Day while walking toward st.
George cemetery to visit his wife's
grave, still continues to draw breath
on his cot at st. GATHERINGS hospital.
Putz>was struck just at the base Of
the skull, and the physician who at
tended him at the time of the injury,
declared that there seemed no chance
for life at all. The patient, however,
agreeably surprised the physician and
staff of nurses. He was still linger-
ing on today, and since he has sur
vived so far, it is thought just pos
sible that he may pull through.
Joe Camilli, whose name was first
given enormously as Kamilli, has been
arraigned on the charge of assault
with a deadly weapon, namely an au-
tomobile, driven in a manner evincing
a depraved mind regardless of human
life" His case will come up June
and he is meanwhile under bonds Of
So 900.

Balm Avenue
Subway Under Tracks
Tunnel, Equipped With Electric
Lights, Built for Safety of
School Children.

The Balm avenue pedestrian subway
under the switch tracks of the North
western railroad, has been completed,
it was stated today by P. ]. Hurtgen,
director of public works. The under
ground passage is about $50 feet in
length, while the approaches on either
side are about rs feet each. Cement
walks and sidewalks have been built
without interrupting pedestrian travel.
The tunnel has been equipped with
electric lights which will be switched
on at night and during the dark days
by the police officer on the beat. The
.tunneling under the tracks was done
by the railroad, while the approaches
were built at the city's expense. The
actual cost of the project has not as
yet been compiled, Mr.. Hurtgen stated.
The subway was built primarily to
protect the lives of children attending
the Mckinley school who, heretofore
were forced to cross the maize of
tracks where trains were constantly
being switched.
