SECOND SECTION TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. RIGID PROBE OF COSTLY FIRE ORIGIN SACRAMENTO, Sept. 21.—Declaring that "the first fruits of our investigation are seen in the arrest of Harry Harvey at Oroville," W. B. Rider, deputy state forester, announced today the state board of forestry has launched a rigid investigation into the origin of disastrous fires of the last few days, and that a roundup of persons believed guilty of setting the fires is imminent. Harvey was taken into custody by Inspector A. E. Frost of the forestry board. He will be arraigned at Oroville late today and charged with setting a timber fire near Robinson's Mill, Butte county, which spread over 2000 acres. Rider stated that the board has appointed E. F. Barnes to co-operate with the U. S. forestry service in probing mysterious circumstances surrounding the inception of the conflagration which ravaged Berkeley.

Rider said arrests are expected. N. Y. PRESS STRIKERS WILL BE IGNORED NEW YORK, Sept. 21. — New York’s newspaper publishers today resumed discussion of a proposal by Ma. George Berry, president of the International Printing Pressmen’s Union, by which a new contract, ignoring 2500 members of local No. 25, now on strike, would be consummated. Hope that an agreement might be reached was entertained. The proposal eliminates the striking local from further relations with the publishers. The latter now are to deal entirely with the international union. By pooling their resources, publishers today issued more than 70 per cent of their normal morning circulation — editions being of the composite, 8-page type. “The situation is no longer serious,” Lester L. Jones, executive representative of the publishers’ association, said. Many pressmen from out of town have volunteered to serve at the call of the international union, it was agreed. Newspaper trucks and wagons were today under police guard—a precautionary measure, to prevent rumored attacks. JEWETT DENIES HE AIDED IN FLOGGING OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 21. — “I have never taken part in a flogging in my life—the charge made against me in Governor Walton’s military court is a deliberate falsehood.” N. C. Jewett, grand dragon of the Oklahoma Ku Klux Klan, in an exclusive interview today, vigorously defended himself against the charges of Dr. A. A. Maupin, a dentist, made before the military court in session here. Jewett, a dark-complexioned man, six feet tall and weighing over 200 pounds, a typical “business man” type, discussed with repressed feeling the charges of Maupin and the general indictment of the Klan by Governor Walton. Dr. Rudolph Hilferding, leader of the German Social Democrat party, is the minister of finance and reparation in the Stresemann cabinet. Hilferding is Austrian by birth, Jew by faith and German by naturalization. SOMETIMES FOLKS MAKE MISTAKES Mayor W. F. Coulter of Fullerton, and L. P. Drake, city trustee, were sitting in the California Hotel lobby awaiting the arrival of Congressman Phil D. Swing. A rather nice-looking young lady walked from the court into the lobby. At the sight of her Mayor Coulter jumped up with great alacrity, rushed over to her all smiles, and said in his most charming manner, "How do you do? I haven't seen you in a long time." The lady returned his courtesy, and he took her over to Mr. Drake, talking very loudly. Mr. Drake who is older than Mr. Coulter did not "take to her" with the same alacrity of his chief, but notwithstanding did the best he could, passing some pleasant remarks. “Drake,” warned Mr. Coulter confidentially, "you'll have to talk louder. She's hard of hearing." Whereupon Drake repeated all his former conversation at a tone well-nigh approaching a yell. Presently the young lady excused herself, and took the elevator. An idea began to simmer thru Coulter’s brain like the slow penetrating of a drizzling rain thru a sandy road, and presently it leaped forth, full grown. The mayor slapped his palms upon his shins with a vim that well-night started his sub-ordinate whose first thought possibly was to know what had bitten the mayor. Then there was an exclamation followed by a long sigh, and the explanation. "That was not the woman I thot it was! I thot she was a deaf lady friend of ours that I hadn’t seen for a long time, and here I——I——I——" Drake’s peal of laughter interrupted the mayor’s remarks, and assisted the crimson hue to spread all over the face of the new discomfited Coulter. "I wonder that she didn’t have her ear trumpet," soloquized the mayor. N. B.—It developed that the young lady in question was a certain Fullerton high school teacher, who was secretly "laughing up her sleeve" at having innocently made "dumniles" of the city officials.
