DANCE BY FIREMEN IS WELL ATTENDED;
 AFFAIR IS SUCCESS

The Twenty Fourth annual ball of the Juneau Fire Department was given in the Elks Hall last night with an attendance that probably shattered all records for this sea- sons dance affairs. At midnight the floor was packed, the seats around the dance floor and the balcony were filled and a stag" line was blocking the entrance.
 The hall was attractively deco rated with cedar boughs intertwined with artificial pink roses. Two man-sized fire-axes flanked the stage where the orchestra sat, and overhead hung huge fireman's badge. The South Seas furnished the motif for the costumes of the Serenaders Orchestra, as well as for the two girls who presided at the punch bowl the musicians wore Hawaiian leis around their shoul- ders and the girls were dressed as hula dancers.
 The punch, of which there was two flavors. was dipped from basins hollowed out of a large block of ice, an idea as practical as it was unique. Miss Edna Riendeau and Miss Verne Hurley had charge of the refreshments.
 This dance was one of the most enjoyable affairs of Juneau's mid winter social season and the popu- larity of the fire boys was attested by the presence of many spectators who seldom turn out for dances.

 AGAINST THAT OF COUNTRY

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 13.-The con- tention that city folk get less sunshine than their country cous- ins is being put to a scientific test.

 Each apparatus consists of a large crystal ball, mounted on concave brass holder, the crystal acts as a burning glass and burns record of each ray of sunshine on specially prepared paper placed beneath it. The machines were made in England.

Eleven Chicago GangSterS
Arrested in Arsenal

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, March ga farm
house near Melrose Park, declared
by police to have been a factory for
turning out bombs in wholesale
quantities, was raided by two squads
of detectives early today and eleven
men, a majority Of them declared to
be members of the Genna gang, were
arrested.
Two powerful dynamite bombs,
wrapped and apparently ready for
delivery, were found in a kitchen
cupboard and the house was an ar
senal in which Shotguns and many
revolVers were stacked.
The raid on the bomb farm" was
seen as the first step in a police
counter-o1fensive to thWart an ex-
pected general war in gangland for
control of the lucrative south side
beer and alcohol traffic.
1t came on the heels of an an
nouncement by John Siege, chief
of detectives, that he had ordered
seven additional detective squads
into the Stockyards and EngleWood
districts, and that the special bomb
squad would work there and fol-
low clews unearthed in the gang
sters' hauntS.
A roaming squad with orders to
arrest gangsters and hoodlurns on
sight also was ordered into the dis
trict.

CABIN BURNED
TO HIDE KILLING
Girls MutiIated Body Is
Found; Laid to GangSterS.
By United Press

By United Press
LAKE VILLA, Ill, March 8.-The
mutilated body of young woman,
burned to a blackened mass, was
found in the ruins of a cabin in a
deserted summer resort on the
shores of Deep Lake, near here,
early today, a clew, police believe,
to a murder and an incendiary fire
to hide its traces.
The head, legs and arms were
missing and police expressed the
opinion they had been hacked Off
before the body was burned.
All means of identifying the body
had been burned away, but police
said the condition of the body led
them to believe the woman might
have been the victim of gangsters
known to haunt the summer resort
throughout the winter when the
cabins are not occupied by the
owners.
The body was discovered by mem
bers of the Antioch fire department
after they had been summoned to
the blazing cabin by Edward Schram,
40, a caretaker who has charge of
the burned cottage and several
others.
Firemen said they detected the
odor of gasoline, further indica-
ton that the cottage was set af1re
deliberately.
1t had not been occupied since
last summer and there was no
way 1t could have caught fire from
within, the caretaker said.
