z False Alarms
u, y ... .- pm ~
4 Inside an Hour

The fire department was called
out two different times within an
hour last night, but each time it
was found unnecessary to turn on
the water. -.
The first alarm, coming at about 8
o'clock in the evening, brought the
firebOys to Fifth and Commercial,
where an investigation showed there
was no. fire or report Of one there.
A large group Of Japanese children
were gathered around the corners at
the intersection of Commercial and
Fifth streets, when the fire trucks
arrived, and it is believed that a
false alarm was turned in by some
of the children. -.
About an hour later the depart
ment was again called out; this time
it was said that there was a fire at
the Eastside school, Arriving there
it was found that small pile of
hay in a field near the school was
burning. After seeing that there
could be no danger of the blaze
spreading farther, the firemen re-
turned to the station.

Advocating a plank naming

The center of the storm is McAdOo
who standing with probable ma

forces i'll line against the combined
assaults of big eastern delegations
and the press.
Another bitter battle goes on as
anti-klan leaders increase their de-
mand for a platform plank specifi-
sally rlenouncing that organization.
