NORTH POLE IROT.

(By Mrs F. K. Phillips, Takotna.) I'm going to buy me an airplane, And Pm going to take my Mary Jane; I'm going to leave this world behind, And that old North Pole I'm going to
 find, And that is where I'm going to stop, And I'll hang Old Glory right on top. I'll build an igloo for two, You bet that's what Pm going to do. I'm going to kill some polar bear And catch some of those arctic hare, or they say that meat is good to eat. And I bet that bear will be- some
 treat; I'll take the hide of three or four And put them on cur igloo floor, And III make cute little nest for
 two You bet that's what I'm going to do. We may some day fly. back to town: And spend some money and !. lock
 around, And we'll cache our plane in the. city
 park, For we'll take of right after. dark. .. We just love to sit and spoon As W esail along meath the silverg
 moon, And if our friends would care : to
 stroll, They'll find us up by the old North
 Pole.

 AGE APPRoXIMATING S13,Oo0

Fairbanks News Miner, April 23.)
 Fire breaking out, this. morning in the, second story of the Abe Simson building on Front street for time threatened to destroy every business house from Pozzi ; to the corner Of Lacey. Quick work on the part of the fire department confined the blaze to the buildings occupied by Emil Pozza, Abe Simson, Mrs. Jack Baird and Al Coslett A preliminary check of the damage revealed loss of at least S13000. oniY partly covered by insur- ance The chief losers, PozZa and Simson, carried no insurance at all.
 The fire was first noticed from the lobby of the 4Nordale Hotel. Aagreat puff of smoke suddenly shot out from the upper story of the Simson build ing Mr, Simson had, at about the same time, seen smoke coming down thrpughthe ceiling The alarm was turned in from tHt Nordale, and by the time the department arrived the Upper floor already, was mass of flames. The fire spread to either side in few minutes and broke out in Pozza's and, Mrs. Baird's store before the entire complement of hose lines n adbeen strung. Seven streams of water were turned on the fire, with the, main attack directed from the Second. avenue side. Although the task of extinguishing the blaze at first seemed impossible because of the great start it had gained, efficient work on the part of the fire depart ment, aided by volunteers, brought it under control in about an hour.
 The blaze was. started by an over heated stove in Simson's store. A safety fiue surrounding the pipe rest ed directly against infammable ma terials which was ignited when the neat of the pipe. was communicated to the fue.

The third attempt to postpone ac-
ton on the Babcock-Born bill, which
seeks to prevent Marion County

ly from Barrett law bonds, failed in
the House of Representatives today.

sent to engrossment. 1t then will be
up for third reading.
Asked Delay
Representative Lloyd D. Clay
combe, Indianapolis, moved to post

were used against this bill two years
ago." declared Representative Ed
ward B. Bender Dem.), Boone.
There are notactics here!' de-
clared Leslie, t'this bill is going to

it there myself"

the bill thta he had been Informed
by certain Marion County Senators

PLAN GIVEN
Diaz Envoy Announces De-
tails of Alliance Proposal
in Washington.
DISPLEASED AT BRITAIN
America Frowns op Dispatch
of Cruiser.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.-The
Diaz Nicaraguan governments pro-
posal for an American protectorate
was brought into the open today
for the first time when the Nicara-
guam legation here announced de-
tails of the proposed treaty of al
lance" between the two countries.
Under the Diaz proposal Nicara-
qua would be guaranteed, according
to President Diaz, "the uninterrupt-
ed maintenance of government
adequate for the protection Of life,
property and individual liberty"
The United States, on the other
hand, would be assured of its rights
to a Nicaraguan canal and naval
base, arranged under the Bryan
Chamorro treaty, and would have
the right from Nicaragua ito inter
vene in Nicaragua whenever it
might be necessary in order to make
effective the guarantees effected
above"
United States Government is dis
pleased over Great Britain's sudden
dispatch Of a -warship to Nicaragua.
In the interest of Anglo-American
relations, the State Department will
not express this displeasure formal
ly unless British troops are landed.
Britain's action is interpreted in
some quarters here as connected
with the negotiations between the
Diaz government and The United
States for an American protectorate
over Nicaragua. Great Britain. with
1900 citizens there and larger
property holdings than the United
States, is described as reluctant to
accept the protectorate plan.

MUNCIE BACKS FIGHT
Citizens Prepare to Furnish Bond
for Dale


for Dale
Times star Correspondent
MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 25.-Aroused
to the full significance Of the act Of
Circuit Judge Clarence w. Dearth
in seizing newsboys and confiscating
their newspapers and interpreting II
as a suppression of free speech and
freedom Of the press, citizens Of Mum
Gle have arranged bonds in un-
limited amounts for George Dale, the
editor. who faces a new contempt
charge on his return.
Dale is in Ohio comforting with
his attorneys today. He has been
in Washington, going there before
his paper, the Muncie Post.Demo.
crat, printed the letter written by
Clell Maple. manufacturer. which
was the occasion for the seizure OF
the boys and the papers.
The change in sentiment is record
cd in the fact that whereas in the
past Dale has been left to his own
devices and has received no support
of money from local citizens In his
various fights, voluntary offers for
bonds in unlimited amounts have
now been made.
That fact is interpreted as evi.
dence that Muncie has entered into
a fight for free speech and intends
to tes. the power Of a Judge to sup
press any newspaper by forcible use
of power and edicts to policemen.
The parents OF the thirty-eight
newsboys whose papers were confis.
Gated and who were listed with the
sheriff with all the semblance of be-
ing held as criminals. although no
formal charge OF any sort was made
against them, are planning to enter
the matter.
Dale's return to Muncie has been
delayed until Tuesday. it was an
nounced. Friends Of the editor gave
no reason for the delay. which post
poned plans for the reception to
have been accorded Dale. 1t was
understood that the proposed writ OF
prohibition asked OF the Supreme
Court to stay the hand of Judge
Clarence w. Dearth may not be
pressed, which indicates that Dale
will not attempt to evade arrest.
