FLAMES COMPLETE
RUIN OF PAVILION
Grandstand Saved by Firemen
Who Worked From l to 5
A. M. Monday

The scattered boards and timbers
and the warped hardwood floor which
remained after Redwood County Fair
associations Inflated dance pavilion
was blown down May 80 and rained
on a few days later, were totally
destroyed by a mysterious fire early
Monday.
Fair board members met with Of
ficials of the St. Paul Fire and Mar
inc Insurance company Monday and
arrived at a settlement of the wind
damage. The fire loss will be ad-
justed soon, they believe.
The fire started in the northeast
corner where toilet was located and
a large part of the ruins in that sec
tion was ablaze when the firemen ar
rived. Floyd Schmid reported the
fire at l a. m. after noticing it from
the road as he drove past.
Various theories as to it's origin
have been advanced, including the
possibility of a carelessly thrown
cigaret which may have smoldered
for a considerable time. Others feel
that it was purposely set although
who is to profit by the further de-
struction of the building is a mystery
in itself.
The fire spread slowly as it gnaw-
ed it's way over the warped floor,
cluttered with beams and arches,
against southerly breeze. But when
it reached the refreshment stand and
check room, the only part of the
building to remain standing after the
tornado struck, flames rose skyward
with ightning-like rapidity. The de-
partment was handicapped as it had
no water.
The entire grandstand was threat
ened and firemen from all three
trucks fought with hand chemical
pumps to save it. Doors from the
pavilion were used as shields to en-
able them to Withstand the intense
heat as they concentrated their
efforts on saving the bleachers and
grandstand.
Chief Joseph M. Corbett issued a
call for dynamite and atank Of water
to help save other buildings on the
grounds. He planned on blowing
the pavilion to bits in an effort to
check the spread of flames. While
awaiting the arrival of both, the de-
partment checked the spread to other
buildings and the dynamite was not
used.
The department was at the grounds
until 5 a. m. and when the last spark
was extinguished, there was nothing
of what was the once fam
Gus $4,000 pavilion except concrete
posts.
Chief Corbett issued thank you
to F. B. Macs who filled tank with
water at the power house and to 5.
l. "Slim" Paradee who came with
enough dynamite to blow up the en-
tire fair grounds.

UNION Of COUNSEL
IS SEEN REJECTED
City Officials Favor Naming
Assistant Corporation
Counsel for Utilities.

The proposal that the functions of
the peoples counsel and the legal ad-
wiser to the Public Utilities Commission
be consolidated will be rejected by the
District Commissioners, it was indi-
Gated today at the District Building.
The Commissioners have taken the
view that special assistant corpora
tion counsel should be appointed and
assigned as special counsel to the
Utilities Commission, it was reported.
This would continue the system which
has been in vogue in the past.
Consolidation of the work of the
peoples counsel with that of the spe-
cial assistant corporation counsel was
suggested originally by Chairman King
of the Senate District Committee. A
recommendation to this effect has
been placed before the Commissioners.
This involves the proposal that the
$1,000 salary item, now available for
employment of a new special assistant
corporation counsel, be used to hire
two lawyers who would serve as assist
ants to the peoples counsel. Unless
there is an unexpected change the
Commissioners will direct the employ
ment of a new special assistant cor
poration counsel.
This job was held by william A.
Roberts prior to his appointment
about two months ago as peoples
counsel to succeed Richmond B. Keech,
who had been appointed to the Public
Utilities Commission.

tion, justice, progress and liberty.
The parade attracted thousands
along the line of march despite the
drizzling rain, which continued with
few interruptions.
Before introducing the speaker of
the day. Edward Keating, editor of
Labor, John Colpoys, United States
marshal, who was master Of cere-
monies, called on organized labor to
keep its ranks clear of all "isms" ex-
cept trade unionisp. Some of these
"chiselers" who want to bore from
within the labor movement, Colpoys
warned, should be treated like
Snakes" every time they raise their
heads to poison the ranks of con-
structive organized labor. Real labor,
he said, believed in patriotism, law
and order.
Keating, before launching into his
regular address of the day, took occa-
sion to pay tribute to w. w. Maloney,
93-year-old retired printer, in the
parade, member of Columbia Typo
graphical Union for 73 years, who, the
speaker said, typifled the advance
made by organized labor. Forty years
ago, Keating said, the average age of
printers at death was Al, but now,
with improvements made in. their
working conditions through insistence
of organized labor, the average age of
printers at death is "a, an increase of
% years in length of life.
Fire Marshal Speaks.
Fire Marshal Calvin c. LAUDER, In
an address on Fire Labor" declared
that with the wholehearted support
Of labor in the cause of safety, it
seems that fire prevention will be
increasingly looked upon as a major
function of labor to the end that all
Of our industrial establishments may
be considered to be reasonably safe
places in which to work"
Speaking for the District Fire De-
partment, he paid tribute to the labor
day.
A festival, which has been sched-
uled for Glen Echo during the after
noon was called off on account of
rain, and prizes which had been con-
tributed for contests there were being
returned today by the committee to
donors.
Many groups of labor gathered in
Knights of Pythias Hall on Ninth

ming, when refreshments were served
under direction Of the Labor Day Re-
freshment Committee.

BOOKS APPOINTMENT
is HELD UNLIKELY
Blanton's Choice for Legal Coun-
. sci to A. B. C. Board to
Be Rejected.

The chances are that Representa-
tive Blanton of Texas will not succeed
in bringing about the appointment of
Maurice V. Books, Abilene, Tex, as
legal counsel to the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.

pointed last February as assistant

legal aide to the A. B. C. Board
Some weeks ago. Howsley resigned
to return to political affairs and law
business in Texas. He previously had
taken leave of absence to conduct a

ton was announced, Blanton sug-
gested the appointment of Books. It
