CITY FAMILIES
ESCAPE DEATH
IN FIERCE BLAZE
Flee Home in NightCIothes;
Second Fire Destroys
Farm Buildings.

Two fires early today destroyed
$4,000 worth Of property, endangered
the lives of several persons who
escaped in their night clothing, and
threatened destruction of property
of even greater value.
The more damaging fire occurred
at the farm home of A. j. Schnell,
r. r. Is, Box 401, where there was
no fire protection and a bucket
line proved effective only in re-
ducing threats to buildings other
than those destroyed.
Mr.. Schnell was awakened shortly
after midnight by the sound of auto
tires exploding. He had his car
parked in his barn and when he
looked out saw the structure ablaze.
NeighborS saw the fire almost as
quickly as he and two deputy
sheriffs. cruising the county, also
saw it. In few minutes a bucket
line was formed but it was not eff
fective enough Il save the barn.
Two other buildings were de-

chicks ready for shipment, some in
cubators, the car. some farm ma
chinery and other possessions.
Mr.. Schnell estimated the damage
at more than $4,000 and said the loss
is covered by insurance. The fire
is believed to have started from a
coke heating plant for the incuba-
tors.
Early this morning, a coal cooking
stove in the home of Cato Stephens.
Negro, 1872 N. Elder-av, set walls
afire and awakened Mr.. Steph-
ems and his son. They fed, as did
Walter Bush and his four children
who lived in the other side of the
double house. All had retired and
were routed from their beds.
This double was nearly destroyed
and the damage was estimated at
$500. The fire spread to the double
house next door. driving its tenants
into the street in their night cloth
ing, and did $500 damage there be-
fore it was brought under control.

SECURITY BILL ILLEGAL,
BAR ASSOCIATION TOLD
Exemption of 20 Million From Bene-
fits Raped by Speaker.
By United Press

~ C"t'Ou 700
LOS ANGELES, July 1.-THE
Federal social security act was con-
demned as anti-social and uncon-
stitutional. today by Louis A. Lecher,
Milwaukee, before the committee on
Federal taxation of the American
Bar Association.
Mr.. Lecher declared the proposed
law is unfair because 100000 agri-
cultural workers, servants, Federal
employees and other exempted work
ers would be banned from partici-
pating in the benefits while being
forced to contribute their share of
the cost.
He ridiculed the theory that the
tax which would administer the act
is revenue producing.
