TWO FIREMEN FACE PROBE OF THEFT CHARGES Safety Board Investigates Report of Trunks Taken From Blaze Scene.BY DICK MILLER Safety board Investigation of alleged pilfering by city firemen after a $50,000 blaze at 216-20 Osage Btf*eet last week-end was under way today, on orders of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan. Two city firemen who, it is charged, took trunks from ruins of the F-K Specialty Company, whose plant was destroyed in the blaze, are said to have returned them -after Clarence Volz, president of the firm, complained to fire department officials. Volz says other trunks, at least three, are missing, and charges they were carried off by firemen who returned after the blaze, representing themselves as agents of the department's, salvage corps. However, that division has been absolved of any accusation of stealing. The firemen alleged to have admitted taking the property are reported to have said that a man on the premises gave them permission to carry away some “burned trunks." They could not identify the man. Neither will be punished. Fire Chief Harry Voshell said before the mayor ordered Charles Myers, safety board president, to investigate Volz' complaint. Voshell declared he could see nothing wrong in their actions. If they had taken anything of value, it was restored after the men learned their mistake, he contended. Volz said many cartons around trunks packed for shipment had been ripped, presumably by persons Investigating their condition and descriptions. No one in the building other than himself had power to grant permission to remove the trunks, he said. HOUSE SETS HEARING ON DRY LAW REPEAL Pastors Opposed to Prohibition to Be Asked to Take Part. Indianapolis ministers opposed to prohibition under its present conditions were being sought today to plead for repeal of the Wright bone dry law at a public hearing in the house at 7:30 Wednesday night on the Galloway bill.

RUSINESS HEAD MURDERS CHIEF; ENDS OWN LIFE Stenographer Finds Bodies of Railway Officers: Note Is Found. By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—Motives were sought today for the killing and suicide of two railway supply executives despite the slight indication of stock market and financial troubles in the note left by the suicide victim saying “he had been fooled into this terrible end by the big shot.” William H. Sauvage, vice-presi-dent -of the Royal Railway Supply Company, was shot and killed by Andrew Lenahan, office manager of the firm, who then turned his gun on himself, according to the police report. The police report is based largely on the story told by Mary Farrell, stenographer, married, but working under her maiden name. She had been asked by Lenahan to go get him a headache tablet, and as he supplied one from her purse, he asked her to leave the office because he had some very private matters to talk over. Miss Farrell went to a soda fountain on the ground floor off the office building at 90 West street, returned a few minutes later, and

found the two men sprawled on the floor, x Spanish automatic pistol with three chambers discharged, a few inches from Lenahan’s outstretched hand, she said. Tc police, she recalled the fact Lenahan had been writing a letter just before he asked her to leave. The letter, found in the man's pocket, was addressed to his wife in Teaneck, N. J., and had scrawled on the outside, these words: "The end has come. I am sick, heartbroken and have been fooled into this terrible end by the big shot.

One thing’s certain—you never used Peterson's Ointment because Peterson’s is the one sure method that won’t fail to eradicate the worst, most obstinate case of blemished skin. One application—your pimples and blackheads start to go—in a couple of days eruptions have healed, your face is remarkably cleared! Continued use gives you a complexion utterly free from any irritation—delicately smooth—clear. Mary Metinko of Rankin. Pa., writes: “Ever since I can remember I have had pimples on my face, but after I got a box of Peterson’s Ointment I found that it works like magic, I recommend it to all my friends.” Os times pimples entirely disappear in three days and one 35 cent box will prove it.—All drug stores. —Advertisement.
