PRESENTS FIGURES ON COSTJF FOURTH State Fire Marshal Urges "Safe and Sane", Observance of Day.

BULLETIN IS ISSUED To Fire Chiefs in State, Who Are Now Assistants to Longley. (National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. June 16 With a view to reducing Fourth of July fire losses, V. E. Longley, state fire marshal, is preparing a bulletin to be issued to all township trustees, town clerks and fire chief3 who, under the new first marshal law, are assistants to the state fire marshal. Fire losses on the Fourth of July, last year, aggregated $576,525 throughout the entire country. Of this vast sum Indiana contributed its part. "Much of the annual Fourth of July fire loss is entirely needless," said Fire Marshal Longley. "Carelessness in its many forms is entirely responsible for the large annual loss of property and life due to our mistaken 'celebration' of Independence Day. With the cooperation of our people, in the passage and observance of proper ordinances, and with proper care and caution, fire losses, death and injury would soon cease being our tribute to the country's independence." What It Costs in Dollars. It has been carefully figured that $2,500,000 has been lost through the careless handling of fireworks throughout the country in the last eight years. A fire caused by the careless handling of firecrackers destroyed two-thirds of the city of Portland, Me., a few years ago. Property to the value of $10,000,000 was burned. From the same cause, Pittsburg lost $50,000 worth of property in one day. Unless some steps are taken to prevent it, Indiana will in a few weeks contribute Its usual loss in life and property. Fire Marshal Longley will urge his assistants to help prevent this annual sacrifice by seeing, so far as they can, that local ordinance dealing with the sale and handling of fire works, are rigidly enforced next Fourth of July. Where no ordinances of this character have been passed, extreme care and caution 6hould be exercised by citizens. Before July 4, 1914, the state fire marshal hopes to be instrumental in aiding in the passage of local ordinances which will protect the hundreds of communities where no regulations now exist. Time Yet, For This. There are, however, measures which can yet be taken to reduce fire losses for the coming Fourth. Early on the Fourth, rubbish in areas of yards should be removed or wetted down. Rubish in alleys should be cleaned up. Stables, out-houses, packing rooms and cellar windows should be tightly closed. Suitable amusements or exercises which can be provided by municipalities or civic organizations, will serve the double purpose of patriotic celebration , and a preventative for the annual reign of fire, injury and death. The movement for a "Sane Fourth" has been steadily growing under the effort of the National Fire Protective Association. In the ten years a total of 39,808 people were killed or injured because of their mistaken notions of what constituted a fitting celebration of the Fourth of July. And the fire loss ran in millions of dollars. Of the death loss last year, five were killed by fireworks, one by a cannon, six by firearms, six by gunpowder, one by a toy pistol and one in a runaway. The small Chinese firecracker destroys the most property and the fewest lives. The paper of the cracker often glows for minutes after it is exploded, igniting the trash in which it may fall.

Quits Stage to Hold

Charles Barrett Tells Farmers Union Has Guiding Genius of This Great Organization Seeks , to Check All Gambling in Farm Products. (National News Association) LOS ANGELES Cal., June 16. Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, Ga., president of the great and rapidly growing Farmers' Union, who in ten years has become one of the most potent personalities in American life, is in Los Angeles, but will leave this evening for San Francisco on his way to Basin, Wyo., and Bismarck, N. D., to attend a farmers' convention. Mr. Barrett is the guilding genius of the Farmers' Educational and Cooperative Union, which has 38,000 loCal lodges and 3,000,000 members. "Our organization is built on the principles of education and co-operation among farmers," said Mr. Barrett. "The south was backward in agricultural development, but there has been a great awakening, and the Farmers' Union in many ways has been the greatest influence in the change. The union was in the main a southern organization, but our greatest growth now is in the middle west. Awakening of the South. "The south has depended almost wholly on cotton. The union taught the farmers the necessity of growing other things, of raising their own hay and meat, and this diversity of production is one of the foundation stones of our new prosperity. "My own state of Georgia was far down in the list of states, but so re Shelburn caught fire on the road near here and was burned.

His Fifth Wife

NAT GOODWIN LOOKING MENU IN HIS CAFE. OVER (National News Association) LOS ANGELES, June 16 The announcement that Nat Goodwin, the famous comedian, had decided to give up the stage to devote the remainder of his life to tickling the palates instead of the funny bones of his patrons, has caused one of his friends to circulate an interesting tale regarding a remark made by the actor just previous to his la6t marriage, which was his fifth. Nat is said to have intimated that no man could remain happily married and at the same time continue a theatrical career. Soon after his recent marriage to the former Miss Marjorie Moreland, who was his leading lady, Nat opened an elaborate cafe and restaurant here, and now he has announced that he will give all of his time and labor to the management of his new venture. His friends Eay that Nat has quit the stage in order to make certain that he will hold his new wife for keeps. A bout Work the so Far Accomplished markable has been the progress made that the government reports place it fourth in agricultural products now. "We try to educate the farmers and then to bring them into co-operation in any direction feasible. We have not started many stores. In the south the lodges build and operate warehouses; in the west packing plants and elevators. "We do not run for office, nor nominate candidates. We have not a thing to do with partisan politics, but we retire a man now and then to private life just by way of example. Mr. Barrett smiled reminiscently as he drew this distinction between politics and politics. Two Excellent Examples. "One of our bills aims at the prohibition of gambling in farm products. It has been passed twice by the house, but blocked by the senate, and Murphy J. Foster, of Louisiana, one of our strongest opponents, is now living quietly at his home near New Orleans in consequence. We had to retire him. 'Uncle John' Lamb, of Virginia, chairman of the general agriculture committee of the house, fought us and we had to excuse him from further public service at the primary last August. "The farmers' union is a staunch advocate of scientific farming. Many agricultural colleges have been established in the south and more libertl support given those already established. The union was directly responsible for the bureau of markets recently established by congress, the purpose of which is to lend any possib?e assistance by way of information that will help the farmers in marketing their products."

POLICE CHARACTER IN TROUBLE AGAIN Mrs. Isabel Wells, Known to Authorities in Many Cities, Is Fined.

Mrs. Isabel Wells, alias Kate Lynch, alias Margaret Sheriden, alias Barbara Wells, 50, whose photograph is in the rogues gallery at police headquarters, was fined $5 and costs this morning in police court for public intoxication. She was arrested at Eighth street and Elm Place Saturday night. Mrs. Wells will serve fifteen days in the Home for Friendless Women in default of payment of the fine. Mrs. Wells is well known to the police in many cities in this vicinity. According to letters in her possession, she was ordered out of Chicago by the police and she served jail sentences in several Minnesota cities. She served time in this city twelve years ago after she had obtained $S5 through a "confidence game." In a traveling bag which she carried. half filled with beer and a small hand bag contained a bottle of whisky. She carried a large number of telegrams which she uses to confirm stories she tells to the police in different towns where she is arrested. She told the police that she had been called to Cincinnati where her mother was sick. When she was taken to her cell in the city jail she broke down and said that she was treated unjustly as she had never been fined more than $1 and costs on the charge of intoxication. Ways of the Japanese. The thick straw mats are the only furniture needed in a Japanese house. They are three by sis feet in size and take the place of tables, beds and chairs. The house is never heated.- In winter the people put on thick, wadded kimonos, sit on their feet and hold their hands over a little charcoal brazier. For recreation they go out to the family burying ground to worship the spirits of their ancestors or to a shrine to see the cherry blossoms. If earthquakes, which are as common there as thunderstorms here, shake down the little houses or they are swept nway by the fires that a proverb says sweep Tokyo every seven years the little brown folks only smile and murmur "Shikata ga nal" (There Is no help for it).
