HOUSE IS MOVED
 AS FAMILY SLEEPS
Wind Sets Structure Down In
 Neighbor's Lot

BRUNSWICK, Ga., August 26.-A family q four, sleeping peacefully and unconscious of the fact that a 75-mile- an-hour gale was blowing through the city, suffered nehffijary1 and ,1letle ins convenience early Tuesday when their home was lifted bodily from its foun- dations and carried some distance by the wind.
 Mir. and Mrs. E. A. Poulson and their two children were the partici- pants in this unique exhibition of a freak of the storm.
 They were awakened by the move ment of their dwelling, they declared, but before they had been given time to get alarmed, the house was set down in a neighbours lot. None of the four suffered any injury.

REPORTED LOSS
 SET AT S75@,OOO
toOntInued from Page Onel

kOUubAuuCu dsC OHCl that a lot of valuable machinery was destroyed. In their estimation, the loss will reach $1,0O0.OO0.
 Chief Akins, who arrived with the first truck of firemen, stated that he didn't know enough about the maehin- cry in the shop to give an estimate. The chief, in spite of his injured leg, seemed to be the most active man at the fire. He was continually at the danger points leading and directing his men.
 < Entire Block Threatened
 The machine shop covered half of the block on which it was built, with the exception of the office on the Eighth avenue side. The pattern and machine shops were located on the east side of the block. ..
 For time the entire block was threatened as well as buildings in the Twenty-seven hundred block. Several electric wires across the street caught and hoses had to be turned on the roof of several nearby buildings.
 Spectators, who lined the sidewalk were constantly threatened by showers of sparks and dropping wires. They refused to be driven from their position by police warnings, and were held back from the fire fighters by main force. Electricians arrived and cut the wires about 9:15 o'clock.
 Fire Tower Used
 The fight on the burning shop was matie more difficult by a high wire fence, which blocked the firemen. Some hosemen managed to drag through their hose and apply their water from a half burned wall. Later the fire tower was brought in and succeeded in pitching several streams into the center of the building.
 At 10:15 o'clock Tuesday night the flames, which, an hour before, were visible from nearly every part of Bir- mlngham, had been reduced to small blazes under twisted wall and roofs and smoldering ruins of iron and brick. Water will be played on the ruins un- til morning, when the firemen will 20 through the ruins to make their re- ports.
 Chief McDuff ordered two policemen to remain on the scene until dayIight to keep spectators from endangering themselves and automobilists from run ming over fire hose.
 No Plans Yet Made
 Mir. Tynes told reporters Tuesday night that he had no plans for the fu- ture as yet concerning the plant.
 The plant employs about 400 men. Mir. Tynes said. About -seventy-five OF eighty of these are employed in the ma chine shop. The work at the shop was at its height when the blaze broke out. Some machine work, which is being done by the plant for the United States government under a $1,000,000 con tract, was destroyed fby the fire, it is 
 The plant carried heavy insurance, Mir. Tynes said, but he did not believe that all of his losses would be covered.
 Ambulances from Lige Loy's and Johns were on hand throughout the ready to care for any that might have arisen.

Ohio Democrats Take Stand Against

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August 26.-(By Associated Press. )-Ohio democracy to- day in it's opening battle to win the state at the November election un- leashed the oratory of its national standard bearer, John w.

 These and other things were done through the medium of the party's state platform convention.

rates by declaring against further in- creases now.
 In addition to the Oratory of MT. DAVIS the convention also was replete with words of condemnation of repub- llcan regime, by both national and state and of democratic efficiency from former Gov. James M Cox, the democratic presidential candidate four years ago; former Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, Gov, A. v. Donahey. Commerce Director Cyrus LOcher and former Gov. James D. Campbell, who presided as temporary and permanent chairman.
 Placing the party on record in no uncertain terms against the Ku Klux hlan was not accomplished without many sore spots being left. It started last night with the unseating of State Executive and Central 0mmittee Chair man w. w. Durbin and Fred J. Heer, respectively, and the naming of an ex- ecutive committee to manage the cam paign which is prOnOuncedly out of sympathy with the Klan organization.
 The finishing touches were put on today by the resolutions committee. where foes of the Klan succeeded in
 
 ratification a plank containing the ut terance of the presidential candidate on this issue by a vote of II to z, and finally by the convention itself in vot- ing its approval.
 The fiery eloquence of former Secre. tary of War Newton D. Baker as he denounced in no uncertain terms the foreign policy of the republican national administration and the convincing se- renity with which former Governor Cox extolled the qualities of Mir. Davis thrilled the large audience which filled Memorial hall to verflowing.
 Attacks Foreign Policy
 Had the country been a small, weak nation, we would have been booed out of international society,"" Mir. Baker de clared in charging that our foreign pol icy lacks dignity, courage, effectiveness, and is full of deception. The former war secretary also attacked this country's policy with ref renee to the Dawes separations plan, declaring that while the United States asks it's citizens to invest in billions of German securities it gives no official guarantee that they ever will be repaid.
 Without criticising the national con. vention in refusing to ratify his stand in favor of the League of Nations, Mir Baker asserted that he personally is in favor of this country going into the league "as it now is." He asserted that we are now in the l. gue up to ouI necks" because all treaties made by thi, country with ct..~r nations are flst

living room.

establishment.

Jerome Underwood's eyes were
fixed in a glare of incredulity, but
Charley McSween gazed back with
mild steadiness.

question had taken him by surprise,
and his own question in return had
snapped itself out automatically.
That was the worst of speaking
without due reflection Why hadn /

and Mrs. Henry Williams and let
the truth have it's way?

Mr.. Underwood stared at his

he demanded.

Charley promptly
Having inadvertently set a course
for himself he proposed to sail 1t.

"U'm! No, can't say as I do,

He seized the lantern and fastened
out of the room before Mr.. Under

Down near the shed he paused for
thought. There was no need to go
and look at the Wrecks flivver; he
knew all about It, What he wanted

Twice within the space of a min

EXCELLENT advice, but I'm.
r derwood himself had omitted
IL to follow it. and he actually
had his hands on the bandit car.
Get a lantern" he said Lets
go down and hav ca look at it.
Chester fetched a lantern from the
kitchen, and they went down to the
tool shed. Jerome Underwood ex
amined the mysterious fiivver with
more attention than he had ever
given to his own imported car. He
studied the license plate with q
searching eye, trying to make him
self believed that it awakened rocol
lection. He could not be sure, but
the more he looked at it the more
familiar it seemed to be. Uncon
sciously, he was creating a memory
Of it, which might, after all, serve
just as well.
The missing wheel baff1ed him. He
could not invent a reason for it, Had
there been a smash-up which
crumpled a wheel, there would al
most certainly be other marks on the
car. But all it showed were a few
ordinary dents and a myriad OF
scratches. common to hundreds OF
thousands of~other f1ivvers all over
the world. Standing there on its
three wheels, with a soap-box serv.
ing as a crutch in place of the
fourth, the dusty thing possessed an
uncanny faculty of annoying him.
He was aware of feeling of resent
ment toward it. He had hated fliv-
vers always; the people who drove
them, as he saw them, never had
any road manners. 1t was useless
to pass them in the highway and
leave them suffering in your wake.

bunk house, getting ready to pull
off his boots. Charley was a believer
in going early to bed when there
was nothing else to do. He went up
to the ranch house, wondering what
the boss wanted.
