A DVEUT 1 3EM ENT TO THE CITIZENS OF EAST CHICAGO Kast Chicago, May IS. My attention has been called to an item that appeared in The Press, a daily paper of East Chicago, which contains an insinuation to the effect that the attractions of which I am the head, had attempted or succeeded In 'reaching" or in other words paid "hush money" or other favors to Mr. Chas. Fitzeie. a member of the Board of Safety of your city. In justice to myself, Mr. Fitzeie and your Honorable Board of Safety. I wish to brand these insinuations as absolutely false and untrue. Neither my-, self or any member of my company made any overtures for favors from Mr. Pitiele or any other city official. In playing the various cities and towns as we do. it is our custom to show under the auspices of a society or club. In Indiana Harbor and Caftimet we played under the auspices of the Servian Societies and any favors we received waa from them and for their benefit as they received a percentage of the receipts for their organization. This can easily be verified as all the receipts were deposited in the First Trust and Savings Bank of Indiana Harbor, and amy one intersted can call personally or telephone the cashier.

TIMES' BUK.EATT AT STATE CAPITAL. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. May 17. Protection of rain warehouses and other similar places in -which foodstuffs are

or may be stored against possible attack and destruction by enemies of the country bent on makinfc trouble for the United States and the all.ed rations is the object of a conference that will aoon be hHd by II. H. Fricdley. !tate fire marshal, with a Fpeclal committee representing the fire insurance com panies of the country. The conference will be held at the request of the National Poard of Fire I.'ndf-rwriters and was contained In a telegram and a letter -written by R. M. Pissell of New York, president of the orsanixation. to Mr. Friedley, but whether the conference will be held in this city or Chicago has pot yet been determined. The National Board of Fire Underwriters pointed out to Mr. Friedley the ureat danger of destruction of stocks of wheat and other sraina with bombs or fire, and said that strict and stringent precautions should be taken to provide against such attacks. Following the receipt of the letter from Bissell,Mr. Friedley wrote letters to all of the several hundred elevator owners In the state, in which he sald:i "In this world crisis of food supply the country elevator Is an element of j Importance that, must not be over-J looked. It occupies the place of storehouse for food that is needed to feed the hungry and helpless. It is of as much a. necessity to save the grain that has been raised as it is to plant and

sow. It has always been the function of the country elevator to gather this by the bushel or wagonload and store it until shipment can fte made to terminals or mills where it is prepared for food. "While it is thus located in the bins it is subject to dangers, one of which is the fire hazard that may be guarded against. Juat now every safeguard is being thrown around terminal elevators where large quantities of grain are stored. The United States authorities are bending every effort to see that this is done and its importance justi' fies these precautions. But for the protection and safeguarding of the small

and distant elevators and mills, the country will have to rely on the watchfulness, efficiency and patriotism of the owners, occupants and employes. 'Governor Goodrich has in all possible ways called attention to the bending of every energy to the greatest possible production from every acre. He 'joins alike In the patriotic sentiment of conservation of our present food supply. Indiana should lead in this as she does In enlistment and other matters of national welfare. Kcad and act upon the enclosed suggestions and you may be serving your country as well a: by -arring a rifle." In addition to sending out these letters, .Mr. Friedley lias sent, placards to each elevator tobe posted in a conspicuous place. The placard is headed "Fire," in big. black letters, and it contains 'the following advice: "During the present crisis the country needs every bushel of grain that

goes into your house this season. "A fire from any cause will be a calamity; a cartless fire will be a crime. "Fire in 1316 destroyed 5,180,000 bushels of grain in our country. At present prices this grain would be worth more than IS. 000. 000. "Two hundred and fifty-nine elevators went up In flames, entailing a loss of 11.554,000 in buildings, making a total of almost fl7.0TIO.OnOf lost in elevator frfs In one year. "One million people could have been fed with the grain destroyed in elevator fires. Food riots would have been a thing unknown within our borders were it not for the wholesale destruction of food and grain." "Two-thirda of our annual Are loss is preventable. "An ounce of prevention Is worth many pounds of cure, and doubly so in these days when the conservation of our food supply is sq. Important. "Cleanliness, not only In elevators, but in every property, will eliminate nine-tenths of the fire hazard. All waste paper, rubbish, loose straw or hay should be removed. "Spontaneous combustion may be caused by oily-rags or waste. AVound elevators it generally occurs in wet grain covered with layers of dust, and heat or gas cannot pass off. This harard should be watched carefully.

"Smoking should not be permitted on the premises. "Stoves, smoke pipes and chimneys should be given 'careful inspection. "Electric firing should be put In perfect condition by a competent electrician. "Gasoline demands the most careful handling. The vapor arising from gasoline is extremely dangerous and requires the closest attention and care. "Fire extinguishers or barrels of water and fire buckets should be provided about the plant. "Employ only thoroughly reliable men as guards whose loyalty to you and this country Is undoubted. ' Guards should be alert at all times for fires which may occur about the plant from any cause. If you have any fear of an incendiary, double the guards and quadruple the vigilance." ,

The city council met last evening in special session and ordered published notices asking for bids for the construction of a deep rock tubular well, the proposals to be received on June 4. The council also was informed that it might be possible to obtain oil for the oiling of the streets in the near future and instructed the clerk t to :eadvertiae for bids for that improvement. The city fathers will meet on the 21st to consider, bids for the city's share in concrete sidewalk and crossing construction. The new well to be bid upon will be a twelve-inch bore and will go down to rock, estimated at a depth oj about 800 to -350 feet in this vicinity, and the engineer hopes to secure a capacity flow of about 500.000 gallons every 24 hours.

"Meticulous." The use of the word "meticulous" 'rthe sense of "particular," may bo understood by the following definition,;, which we quote in answer to a rquest for the citation of authorities: Century Dictionary, "timid ; over-caro-ful ;" New Standard, "over-cautious Oxford Concise, "over-scrupulous about minute details." The word is froi;; the Latin "mpticuiosus," "full of fo;a" tne derivation being from 'luetuO "fear."
