D. c. SCHOOL HAS
FIRE SCARE

TOO much heat from the school
furnace today broke up the routine
Of the Benjamin Grayson Orr
school, Twenty-second and Prout
SITS s. E., and caused an excited
teacher to sound an ALARM which
brought to the school No. En- aiIaa
Company and detail from the
District repair shop.
r.. C.. Prather, janitor. read IN
the papers this morning that 1t was
the coolest day of the year. He
determined that no pupil OF the
Orr, School should suffer from lack
OF heat and fired up his furnace
in his most efficient manner.
About 8 o'clock smoke began to
pour from the register in the main
hall OF the school. Examination
by Prather showed that dust col
lected in the register and pipe of
the hot-air heating system was
afire and smoking. He suggested
to Miss Vivian Miller, acting prin-
cipal, that she call the repair shop.
Miss Miller did this and also
called the fire department. When
the company arrived Mr.. Prather
had the "fire" under control with
out necessitating resort to the fire
drill which has been taught the
200 children there.

GARAGE YIELDS
WEAPONS
~ TrternatIonaI News Service

Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. B.
Because Mrs Amelia Appleby was
apparently clubbed5 to death before
she was trussed and put in a
sack, investigators from the
sferiff's office today were paying
particular attention to hammer, g
baseball bat and a pogo stick which
deputies reported finding in the
garage of DIR. Charles M. Mcmillan,
now held in connection with the
woInan's death.
The hammer, according to the
deputies, bore reddish stains. These
will be anaIyzed today. in an effort
TO determine whether or not they
are blood stains.
Mrs. Appleby, the widow of a
wealthy Chicago inventor. was
found dead Christmas night. Her
body. in a sack, was discovered
near San Fernando.
DIR. Mcmillan, who acted as her
business manager, was placed under
arrest subsequently, but has stead
tasty asserted his innocence.
Mcmillan. according to police, has
admitted that he lived with Mrs.
Appleby from time to time, for
economy's sake, but denied any
intin
Wo4 we'd here from Flag
staff, A. =, Indicated that DIR. Nc
MILAN and woman thought to
be Mrs. Appleby had registered in
a hotel there as man and wife.
Hotel employees said the couple
quarreled violently while there.
Officers also asserted that note
book found in DIR. McMillan's apart
ment was under close scrutiny. 1t
was said to have contained the
names and addresses of more than
a dozen women in various parts OF
the country, also long passages of
poetry.
Police also reported that Mrs.
Appleby's will was found in Nc
AIillan's apartment. The will left
her property to him.
DIR. NJ. Mcmillan admits women
always had been stumbling
block" to him.
With the net being drawn con-
stantly tighter by the police and
district attorneys investigators, Nc

iterates 81 did not kill her."
The grand Jury is expected to
have before it today much of the
evidence already gathered, and
enough of a case may be made out
this week To obtain an indictment
for first degree murder, which it is
declared the district attorney will
ask for.
The retired physician, 81 years
old, readily admits his friendship for
Mrs. Appleby, says he had business
dealings with her as her agent, and
even admits having dictated the
woman's will, found in her effects,
which gave him authority over her
large estate.
The jeweIry found in McMillan's
apartment, together with the news
paper clipping, valued at $4,000.
definitely has been identified as
having been the property of the
slain woman.

CHICAGO GANGS
BOMB HOTEL
81 international News service

BY international News Service
CHICAGO. Jan. 81 Chicago's
latest flareup Of gang warfare.
which began popping promptly with
the advent of the New Year, had
the police department on hair
trigger nerves today.
The latest outrage was the bomb
ing Of the Newport Hotel. an al
legged resort, under the control OF
the Skidmore-Zuta- Bertsche vice
syndicate.
The bomb apparently was the
most powerful of any yet exploded
by the "racketeers'' in their deadly
battle for control Of Chicago's $751;
600 ,OO0-a-year vice booty. 1t tore
away the entire front of the struc-
ture and badly damaged adjacent
buildings.
The damage was estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000.
Police investigators confessed
themselves baffIed at the resump-
ton of gang llostilities. They be-
lieved the elimination Of Alphonse
"Scarface Al" Capone from the
trouble zone had brought about a
cessation of the mysterious DomD-
ings and assassinations that marked
the close of the old year.
The theory now is that a new
faction, as yet unidentified, has
challenged the rule of the supposed
ly triumphant Zuta combine.
The noise that greeted the new
year had scarcely died away Sum
day morning when Frank dutch"
Carpenter, lieutenant of Zuta,
was shot and killed by mysterious
assassin. not far from the scene
of the hotel bombing. A few days
before, Frank Noonan, owner of a
saloon, was slain in his place on
the west side.
Several well-known gangsters to-
day were ordered rounded up by
Chief of Detectives William e.
O'Connor. Among these were
Johnny Genaro and "tMike De Pike"
Heitler. They are suspected in
connection with the hotel bombing.
So certain was Chief O'Connor
that Genaro had a finger" in the
bombing that he ordered his men
to bring him in dead or alive"
