BRICK PLANT FIRE
LOSS IS 100000
Machinery and Yards Of West
Brothers Co. in ReIee,
Va, Destroyed.

A four.hour fire last night, resist
ing the combined efforts of half a
dozen fire companies, destroyed $780,
900 worth of machinery and yards Of
the West Brothers Brick Co., on the
Bancroft pike, Relee. Va.
Orders to hold up all shipments be.
cause the plant was a total loss were
wired to the two coal companies that
supply the kilns with fuel. Officials
of the brick company estimated that
six months would be required to repair
the damage. and that at least 100 men
would be thrown out Of work.
Fire Spread Rapidly.
The fire was discovered about 1880
o'clock this morning by members Of
the night kiln shift in the machine
shop. which was closed for the night.
The alarm had to be telephoned from
the neighboring post office because
the brick company's Office also was
closed. The fire had gained such heads
way by the time outlying fire COM
panies had responded that efforts to
save the clay-grinding and brick-mak,
ing machinery, drier sheds and four
kiln roofs were useless
District company No 13 and Jeffer-
son. East Arlington. Clarendon, Cher
rydale, Rallston and Potomac volun-
teer fire departments arrived on the
scene within half an hour. but were
forced to direct their efforts In pre-.
venting the flames from spreading to
buildings as vet untouched on the two
acre property. Water was pumped
from the reservoir Of the Capitol Re.
fining Co. across the road.
Wind Fans Flames.
A brisk northwest wind famed the
dry wooden structures into a seethine
inferno. The sky was lit up for miles
around. Heavy timbers supporting
the roofs crashed right and left, tear
ing machinery from it's foundations
and smashing the brick ovens. A
tangled mass Of wreckage is about all
that is left. Even the sand cars are
twisted. and the electrical equipment
is a molten, shapeless mass.
The main power switch had been
shut off and the dinkey engine had
been run out Of the. dumping shed be-
fore nightfall. 1t Is believed. there
fore. that the fire was caused by de-
fective wiring in the electric light cir.
cult. The two brick pressers, which
turned out 175.OO0 bricks daily, and
all the machinery patterns were de-
stroyed.
When the present supply of bricks
in the undamaged driers and in the
burning kilns Is exhausted, the com.
pany will have to suspend operations.
A large part of the loss is covered by
insura nee.

NEW STEPHENSON
SENSATION H|NTED
Attorney Declares Startling
Developments Soon to
Arise Over Plea.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 2S.-An-
other sensation involving D. C.
Stephenson, former grand dragon of
the Ku Klux Khan and political power
in Indiana, was promised.
John III. Kiplinger, attorney, who
yesterday filed an appeal with the
Indiana Supreme Court for Stephen
son, who is serving a life term for
murder. said developments would arise
in the case which would be of a start
ling nature. They will revolve around
that part of the assignment Of errors
Court was attacked, Kiplinger assert
ed. He declined to amplify his state
ment.
Letters the former Klansman
passed secretly to the outside world
from prison in which he was purport-
ed to have offered to expose alleged
political corruption in Indiana result :
ed in the present investigation by the
Marion County grand jury and were
instrumental in Senator James A.
Reeds senatorial campaign fund COM
mittee taking hand.
The appeal to the Supreme Court
in Stephenson behalf, in addition to
attacking the Jurisdiction Of the
Hamilton Circuit Court, where the
trial was held, also maintained the
indictment was returned on hearsay
evidence. Another contention was
that Will NJ. Sharks, trial judge, erred
in overruling a motion to set aside the
submission of evidence and discharge
the jury because of comments he had
made during the trial.
Stephenson was convicted of second.
degree murder in connection with the
death Of Madge Oberholtzer, an
indianapolis girl.

$4,000 had been paid to the Portland

Wer, Republican senatorial nominee,
VINO defeated Senator Robert ~ stan
field in the primary. Putnam charged
that the Oregonian was to use the
fund against Senator Stanfield. who Is
seeking reelection as an independent
candidate.
Putnam testified yesterday that he
obtained his information from Walter
Hayes, vice president of the National
surety Co. of New York and former

welt. When informed of Putnam's 8

reply Putnam said his Testimony had
been given under oath and he refused
further comment.
Emphatic denial that $35, 900 or any
other sum was paid to the Oregonia n
Tor use against Senator Stanfield was
entered by Edgar B. Piper, editor of
the newspaper. He offered to submit
the Oregonian Co. books to the com.
mittee and reiterated statements in
which he bra nded the story as "pre-
posterOus."
G. M. Clark, chairman Of the board
or directors of the power company,
and Franklin Griffith. president, sum
mohed to testify today, already have
denied the charge that their concern
paid any money to the Oregonian.
Senator McNary has refused to con.
slider other issues brought up by w.
=. C'Ren and Elton Watkins, Port.
land attorneys, who appeared at the
hearing yesterday with Putnam and
charged that Steiwer had failed to
account for all of his campaign ex.
penditures. This Steiwer denies.
Another issue injected was the
famous so.called yellow ticket in
vestigation" by the local grand jury
which has resulted in indictments
against six men. charging CIRCULATION
Klux Klan Endorsement to certain
candidates. including Senator Stan
field. The Klan denied responsibility
for the ticket.

Chicago at the conclusion Of the hear.
Ing to join the other members of the
