Fire prevention bureau investiga-

ages 9 and 10, whom they believe
are responsible for setting fire to
five north side apartment buildings

The boys have denied starting the
fires, according to Captain Bernard
Lynch of the bureau, but evidence
definitely connects the boys with
one Of the fires.
The others, of similar origin, also

BIZ United Press
BOSTON, Jan. 16.-Maior JudSon
dannigan. counsel for Mrs. Babe
Ruth's family. issued statement
today in which he declared there
appears to be sound reason for be-
lieying that Dorothy was not the
child of Babe and his wife, either
by birth or adoption"
He referred to rumors, prevalent
since Mrs. Ruth's tragic death in q
fire in Watertown Friday, that Dor
othy, nov in a private school in
Wellesley Hills, did not actually be-
long to the Ruths.
Major Hannigan also asserted
there was no breach between the
dead woman's family and the base

His statement follows:
''The family of Mrs. Ruth have
requested me TO convey through the
press to the public that there is
no breach between them and the
Babe and none is expected.
'Mr. William Woodford, Mrs.
Ruth's brother, put it succinctly to
me this morning when he said:

friendly and so far as I know he
always has done the right thing. He
always has been courteous and very
thoughtful of my mother; If she

her. misunderstanding and excite
ment make it appear as if breach
existed between the Babe and the
family, but when the excitement
and shock of my sisters death have
passed away, the real friendship be-
tween us will be evident.
There appears to be sound reason
for believing that Dorothy was not
the child of the Babe and his wife,
either by birth or by adoption.
IF this belief turns out to be true,
Helen'S family is willing and anxious
to do all in its power to give that
child the same loving care and at
tention which Mrs Ruth had given
her from babyhood, and in this de-
sire there is every reason to believe
that they will have the cooperation
of the Babe. This does not mean
that an attempt will be made by
Mrs. Ruth's family to adopt the

Cars Owned by More Than
One Person Held Exempt
From New Code.
CAN'T ARREST SHERIFF
No Affidavit Is Drawn Up
Against WinkIer; Start
Arrests Soon.

All automobiles owned by
corporations, companies or by
two or more persons jointly are
exempt from "sticker" provi-
sions of the new traffic ordi-
nance as interpreted by the city
prosecutor s Office, it was dis
closed today.
Although police may plaster the
machines with stickers for overtime
parking, parking double or triple
and parking in forbidden areas, the
corporation, companies or joint
owners, can disregard the stickers
and it is impossible to prosecute
them.
This became known as police re-
ceived from City Prosecutor Herbert
Spencer the first of the affidavits
issued under the new ordinance for
the arrest of motorists who received
stickers for wrong or overtime park
ing and failed to obey the Sticker
summons and pay 50 fine at the
traffic department at police head
quarters.
Spencer stated he had not pre-
pared any aff1davitS against any
companies, corporations or joint
owners of cars who were included
in the list of owners of cars who
had received Stickers as supplied by
the traffic department.
Can't Arrest Sheriff
This eliminated probably more
than one hundred stickers from the
list on which affidavits were issued,
Spencer said.
Spencer also stated that he had
issued no affidavit for arrest of
Sheriff George Winkler, one of those
whose car received a sticker, because
police can not arrest Winkler. The
coroner, the only person authorized
to arrest the sheriff, can not arrest
him for violation of a city ordinance,
he stated.
1t will require an act of the legis-
lature to make possible enforcement
of the parking and other provisions
of the ordinance punished by the
sticker method against corporations,
Spencer said.
1t is impossible to arrest cor
portions or companies and prosecu-
tors have no method Of learning
what driver of the corporation was
guilty Of the violation so the in
dividual driver might be arrested,
he said.
Serve Warrants Thursday
Police are to begin service Thurs
day of the first batch of af1idavits
prepared by Spencer. Two Hundred
and four afidavits were turned over
to Police Chief Claude M. Worley
late Tuesday. The traffic officers
who put the stickers on the autos
we're signing them today.
Thursday they will be given to
district police for service and the
persons named ordered into NUM-
cipal Judge Clifton r. Cameron's
court the day following service.
The 204 affidaivtS represent only a
portion of the motorists who re-
ceived stickers during the first four
days of the year, who have ignored
them. The names of $50 car owners
were turned over to Spencer for the
four-day period, but Spencer has
been able to write only 204 affidavits
to date Of the clerical work involved,
Worley said.
