jured
The Cloth Trophy, priced award Of
the Arlington Volunteer Firemen's
Association, was strangely missing
from the Arlington fire house, where it
had been placed before the contests
started.
1t had just been won by the Arling-
ton company after Ballston and Cher
rydale companies were disqualified in
the feature hook-up contest. Much
argument followed over the disquali-
fications.
Both the Arlington and Ballston
units had won the trophy twice. a con-
dition that made today's contest more
bitter because the trophy had to be
won three years for permanent pos
session. Ballston won the event in
1881 and 1885 and Arlington was the
winner in 1888 and 1894.
When the judges made ready to
present the trophy to the Arlington
company, it was nowhere to be found.
Although not exactly accusing any
one, they announced that two other
cups won today by the Ballston COM
pany will not be awarded until the
Cloth trophy Is returned.

CHICAGO, September 12.-Union
Ridge Township Schools hug and
kiss" row, supposedly settled with the
discharge of Principal Charles
O'Hearn and three women teachers,
was reopened today when an attor-
ney representing two of the teachers
said he would carry the matter to the
courts.
The dismissal of the principal and
the three teachers-Misses Claribel
Lindsay and Lurinda Cleary and Mrs.
Mary Hammond-was announced yes
terday after a conference between
members of the board of the sub
urban school and Cook County Super
intendent Noble j. Puffer.
The controversy broke out July 81
when the teachers were called before
the board after poison pen" letters
accused O'Hearn of caressing the
women. Opening of the school,
scheduled for last Monday, was de-
layed as result.
Attorney Frank E. Donohue said in
a written statement that no charges
of any kind were ever made against
his clients, Misses Lindsay and
Cleary.
They now find themselves ousted
on the grounds that they conspired
against a fellow teacher" he said.
mo evidence along these lines was
offered by the board, and in fact, the
matter was never discussed.
THE only remedy now open to Miss
Cleary and Miss Lindsay lies in
court, and there the facts will all
be brought out"

NEW YORK, September 12.-Spur-

rency produced by two master counter
feiters, now in prison, Secret Service
agents tonight intensified their search
for the hiding place of an estimated
81 900, 900 in spurious but almost per-
feet $40 bills.
Government men said the hoard
vas cached by Robert " Miller, alias
"Count" Victor Lustic, when he and
William Watts, his highly skillful en-
graver, were sentenced to long terms
in prison last year.
Four Men Arrested.
-Four men were arrested this week
charged with passing counterfeit bills
that we're so nearly perfect that Fed
eral agents agreed they could have
been produced only by the Lustig-
Watts combination.
None of the prisoners was regarded
rs conf1dents of Lustig, and Secret Serv-
ice men expected little help from them
In tracing the source of the bills, which
obviously had been recently withdrawn
from the hiding place.
Approximately $2,Ooo,000 of coun-
terfeit currency was produced before
Lustiz and Watts were apprehended.
Less than half of the supplyshad been
placed in circulation. The rest was
hidden away.
Lustig, now serving a 20-year term
on Alcatraz Island, was believed to
have told only one person the secret
Of his hiding place.
Arrested in 1885.
He was arrested in May, 1885, when
Federal agents found $4,000 in coun-
terfeit bills slowed away in a Times
Square subway locker.
A year ago this month he escaped
from the Federal detention house by
sliding down a rope of bedsheets in
full view of a passerby.
He was recaptured in Pittsburgh
three weeks later, but while authori-
ties were seeking him they raided an
elaborate counterfeiting plant in
Union City, N. j., and arrested Watts
Watts, a former Nebraska drug
store clerk who had taken up engrav-
ing as a hobby, turned States evi-

NEW YORK, September 12.-Third
naval district officials revealed today
that personal jealousy" is being in
vestigated as a likely motive for the
destruction of electric cables in the
fire room OF the heavy cruiser In
dianapolis three weeks ago.
An official statement that "the ac-
ton was undoubtedly deliberate" had
at first been interpreted as indicating
sabotage. But the minor character
of the damage at time when much
greater harm might have been done
has caused veteran officers to lean
more to the theory that it was a case
Of spite or jealousy.
From 500 to 600 workere were
aboard the ship which was in the last

The Indianapolis, built here five
years ago, was back in North River
today after a trial cruise which Off
GERS said demonstrated no serious
harm had been done. The fire was
caused by two nails driven into an
electric cable. Another nail was found
in a dead cable.
A fact-f1nding investigation Is pro-
ceeding under Capt. Charles A. Dunn
industrial manager of the yard. Fur
ther official disclosures may be issued
by him Monday, it was stated at naval
district headquarters.
The largest peace-time force since
the World War, 1000 regular workers
and 2,200 w. PA. employees, was en-
gagged at the yard at the time of the

NANKING, China, September l2.-
The future course of Sino-Japanese
relations, informed sources said to-
night, hangs on the result of negotia-
tions which begin here Monday.
At that time the Japanese Ambas-
sador, Shigeru Kawagoe, will take up
with the National government the
incidents at Chengtu and Pakhoi on
August "a and September 3.
At Chengtu two Japanese were
killed and two injured by Chinese
mob which was angered by the pro-
posed reopening of the Japanese con-
sulate. At Pakhoi the lone japanese
citizen Of the town also was killed,
allegedly by a similar mob.
The Japanese Ambassador planned
to leave Shanghai tomorrow for Nam
king with a large staff of diplomatic,
military and naval aides.
He considers the negotiations of the
greatest importance to the future of
Sino-Japanese affairs.
The japanese hold that the princi-
pal point to be discussed is not the
"outrageS" themselves, but alleged
existence of anti-Japanese agitation
and education in China.
This, the Japanese contend, was
back of the Chengtu and Pakhoi ir>-
dents. They demand that China
terminate it.
China, on the other hand. long has
denied that such activities are
going on.
If the National government main
tains this view in the face of the jap
anese diplomatic onslaught expected
Monday, the Japanese have indicated
that they are prepared to take inde-
pendent action to stop anti-Japanese
outbreaks on the mainland.
