MAKE TRAPE OF ARSON.'
Charge of 8ensatlonal Nature Is Made
by Fire Marsnat.
CHICAKIO, ftuly 20. That there ex
ists a gigantic, country-wide "arson
trust," with headquarters In Kansas
City and representatives in nearly all
large cities, the members of wnich
make a business of setting fire to
buildings to enable the owners to col
lect large sums of insurance, was
the charge mado by C. J. Doyle, state
fire marshal, in an address before the
Chicago Association of Commerce.
"This country is facing one of the
most gigantic, organized arson con
gpiracieg the world has ever known,'
said Mr. Doyle.
"The state fire marshal's department
of Illinois has united with the state
fire marshals of Kentucky, Tonnessec
and Ohio to wipe out the hand of
fifteen hi en at the head ur tnia arson
conspiracy. The bead of the fire-bug
trust is 1n Kansas CUy, from vvhich
city the operations of the entire gang
are directed. The tentacles of this
octopus have extended as the daring
of those beblnd the plot has grown,
into a dozen or more cities. They
have been found at work at Bloom
Ington, Springfield. 111., Pittsburg.
Cleveland, New York, Buffalo, 6t.
Louis, Chicago and elsewhere.
: Two of Gang In Prison.
"Two of the gang have been con
victed and are now imprisoned In
a Southern city. The others wl.ll be
behind the bars ibefore long If we are
successful In following the clues we
now are working on.
"The fire-bug -problem Is one of
the most Important that confronts the
couatry. Eevcn without the cases of
arson the fire losses of the country
are appalling, amounting to about $500
a minute. In Chicago the loss Is $5,
000,000 a year, while in Berlin the
annual loss does not exceed $200,noo.
We should adopt the tire protection
plans of European cities."
PREDICTION cTHAT COTTON

This statement was maflc today by

NEW YORK, July 20. Another

She .will be detained about ten days
The period may be longer if it Is

Owing to the quarantine regula
tlon now being enforced by the Ita

local health authorities hope future
arrivals from Mediterranean ports
will afford less trouble than the
Moltke and Perugia, which lie quar
antlned.
Satisfactory conditions are report

cases of cholera are being treated,

officers are watching sixty-six lm

Dr. Doty Is conferring with 8urgeon
General Wyman, head of the United
States marine hospital service, to plan
how the country may be protected
against "carriers" who harbor tbe
germs while themselves free from
their 111 effects. A system of general
observation In contemplated, so that
even after the "carrier" Is released
from quarantine, tbe health authori
ties of the place where he settles may
watch' for possible transmission of
the disease.
The case of these cholera "car
riers" presents a puzzle. As yet the
health authorities have not decided
how soon It will be safe to permit
them to be at large. Only the care
ful system of bacteriological examlna
lion put Into effect here when cholera
appeared could, it Is said, have de
tected tbe presence of cholera germs
In these apparently healthy persons.
RALEIGH. July 20.-Thr Is con
Idermble diversity of opinion here la
th discussion of the probable course
of th impending senatorial contest
and the proposed senatorial primary
for trying out the strength of tbe four
candidates with the people.
The view la expressed by some that
there should really be a general pri
mary for the party catledeky (he state
executive committee before the state
Democratic convention next July ami
that thie primary should .be for all
state officer aa weN a for the iytia
tor. Against this proposition there li
tbe contention that the executive com
ralttee would have no moral right to
call such a primary for the reason
that the last legislature definitely re
fused after long and spirited discus
sion to enact general primary law as
decidedly detrimental to th interest
of the Democratic party, especially In
the West.
The other solution of the primary
problem is that it should be k question
for tbe sUite convention In July, tbe
convention to adjust the details to as
sore the complete settlement of the
flgbt at the polls so that there could
be no development that would ulti
mately precipitate this contest In the
1913 legislature. The advocates of
this vtan of primary would have It pre
scribed by the convention that no one
be allayed to vote for senator who
doe not show that he has just voted
tbe full state Democratic ticket before
he offer to take a band In th pri
mary vote for senator.
The end that an tealow Democrats
Jealous for tbe welfare of the 'party
and Its unification, oWIre especially
to see attained la th keeping of tbe
senatorial fight from ondu Influence
on the state ticket, especially the
nomination for governor around which
the principal state ticket contest will
centre. ' Tbe want to see this con
test pulled off In such way as will
leave the party In standard fighting
trim as against the opposing political
party, and It Is eenerally regarded as
the weightiest problem that the state

the executive committee has to solve
to steer the party through this sena
