 Respectfully,
 HENRY E. GARDINER"
 It became known this afternoon that Gardiner has been making a personal canvass of the common council membership with a view to forming an anti Woods-G bloc among the republicans in an ef- fort to have attorneys other than the present office holders nominated for prosecuting positions.
 One member of the council fore- cast an effort to override the slate of tonight's caucus at Wednesdays meeting. declaring that opposition to the prosecutors will have become crystallized by that time whereas to- nights meeting will very likely be without contest. An effort will be made to bind republicans to stand by the slate by introducing resolution to that end this evening.

FIRE DESTROYS
KOMATAR BUILDING
KOMATAR TAILOR SHOP AND
RANGE DRY Gle A N E R S
WIPED OUT BY SUNDAY
EVENING FIRED E P A r T.
MENT DOES EXCELLENT
WORK-BUILDING Quilted.

A fire. which according to deduction
originated in the Komatar tailoring
establishment at about IL o'clock
Sunday evening Quilted the building
completely. The fire had secured
considerable Roadway before the
alarm was turned in. The depart
ment soon had the threatened con-
flagration under control but not until
the interior of the building was COM
pletely destroyed.
Breaking through the rear end
the fire had been communicated to
the Simonson building adjoining.
It was necessary to cut a hole in the
ceiling of the rear rooms of this
building to get at the blaze in the
attic. Mr.. and Mrs. James Hodgon,
who occupied the upper floor OF the
Simonson building were removed to
safety and the only damage they sus-
tanned was smoked and wet furni-
ture. The Hillman Shoe Store in
the lower floor was slightly damaged
by water.
The cause of the fire is unknown,
but it is presumed that a defective
wire or a smouldering cigarette was
the cause. The building was insured
for $4,000 but no insurance was
carried on the contents. The adjus-
ters are awaited. The Range Dry
Cleaners carried "a small policy on
their equipment. Mr.. Simonson and
Mr.. Hodgon carried no insurance.

BETTY BEHAVE
HUGE SUCCESS
LOCAL TALENT SCORES A HIT
IN THE CHARMING MUSICAL
COMEDY-GREETED WITH
CROWDED HOUSES AND MUCH
APPLAUSE.

Before audiences that filled the
Washington Auditorium for its two
performances, Betty Behave" the
charming musical comedy was pre-
scented on Thursday and Friday
evenings by local talent under the
direction of C. G. Stevens and under
the auspices of the Catholic Order
of Women Foresters.
We will not go into detail on the
production but will cover the whole
affair by saying that there was not
hitch in the whole performance and
that everyone who attended was
pleased with the entertainment pro-
vided. To single out individual per-
formers would be doing an injustice
as all were of the best. Eugene
Joncas and his horse and the ode
tecatives" who accompanied him
with Miss Campbell as Betty furn-
ished the comedy and the screams.
They were not alone in this as the
Bowery Group shareo in the manu-
facture of mirth. Herbert Rosen-
bloom acted os accompanist for the
songs and dances and the High
School Orchestra furnished music at
the opening and in the intermissions.
The cast of chacters carrying the
leading roles were as follows. In
this they were very ably f1anked by
the several groups of dancers and
singers. The little tots in their
Story Book Group seemed to capture
the audience.
