Three Hie OMMMi
Lincoln. Neb, Sept. 8. Fire
wbieh started about 12:1a a m. to
day almost totally destroyed the
plant of the Schuck 1 Yost lunib. it
lompany, the Hebb Motor rompany
:td the Hewitt elevator and flour
bouse located at Twenty-seventh and
Y streets. The lire seemed to have
started In the lumber yard. In a few
minutes it had leaped across the Mis
souri Pacific tracks on X stree and
attacked the Hebb plant and the He-
Witt elevator. In less than three
quarters of an hour the lumber yard
on the west side of Twenty-seventh,
the Motor company plant on X and
Twenty-sixth and the HeWiti build
ing were almost total losses. The
large flour house of the HeWitt com
pany, standing east of the elevator
structure, and said to contain a large
amount of flour, feed and hay, while
badly soaked, was not so badly dam
aged. The loss, estimated by some
a the ground while the fire was rag
ing, will exceed $100 t'OO by a con
siderable figure. This estimate, how
ever, was not made by the owners of
the pla..t.
No figures were available on Insur
ance. A light southeast wind wat; blow
ing at the time and th's helped to
carry the fire northward.
llenkfeiicH In Danger.
Some damage was n98f to the
large Trester resideuc at Twenty
seventh and W streets. Other nearby
j evidences were aligfetty scorched
Kor a time it looked like lh fire
might cut thru a line of residences to
the north, but the absence of a high
wind made It possible for the firemen
to prevent it spreading beyond the
three plants named.
Along North Twenty-sixth streej
the. fire burned off a large number of
electric wires and this added ta the
danger spectators being present in
large numbers. For several blocks
along Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh
and other nearby streets autos
were packed thickly. It was estimat
ed that a crowd of two thousand people-
saw the bla?e which nvde a great
light In the sky visible from every
part of the city.
Two box cars standing on the sid
ing near the HeWitt elevator were
burned.
Ml I'sed .Much Water.
By the time the firemen arrived in
force the possibility of saving the
property then on fire seemed remote.
Five streams were played on the fire
and it was checked from spreading
further, tho for a time it seemed the
water had little effect. The inflam
mable nature of the motor plant and
the lumber yard made the blaze ex
ceedingly difficult to control. Danger
of a further spread, however, had
ben averted by 1 a. m.
An earlier :.:arm Would have caus
ed much property salvage. The blaze
BBighl have been checked in the lum
ber yard had the firemen got word in
time.
It is Understood that the Hebb Mo
tors company, makers of auto bodies,
tops and truck frames, had a large
amount of unfinished work and ma
terial in the plant.
Autos Nearby When Fire Megan.
At the L. H. Trester home, it was
said that the motv.-man of an 11:30
street car which at r.bout that hour
(ran passing the lumber y tr ls Mat
ed he saw no flames but thr.' an auto
mobile was standing before the place.
As the car was returning he m id that
the auto was leaving and at the same
tlmi (lames shot forth from the
yards.
Reports of those who saw the lire
early said that it blazed up quickly,
seeming to spread from a tin;- blaze
In a minute to a great b'aze that cov
ered more thr.n hi It" a block.
Thief of Police Malone was .n the
way home when the fire first showed
up and he w nt direct to the scene.
When he arrived the Hre was burn
ing in the center of the lumber yard,
where it first st 'rted. He had Htt

piories he heard of a sfr.mqre t.uto

Just before t;.o fire. He is working

It was understood that the Schuck

soi sa's wkddino MARCH
IS AT LAST OOMPI4ETED

American music for Americans!
Hun music, like everything else Ger
man, is taboo in America. Therefore
patriotic young persons who have
married of late have dispensed with
music in connection with public wed
dings. They refused to permit either
the playing of .Mendelssohn's or Loh
engrin's wedding 111: rches, because
they were written by German com
posers. So John Philip Sousa, at the re
quest of the National council of de
fense, h-s written a vredding march
for Americans.
Eb feral months ago BOUSS was re
quested by the National council of de
fense to write a new wedding march.
SOUSA waited for an inspiration It
came finally. That was three weeks
ago. and the mrch, ence started, was
soon completed. Then it was played
in Detroit by Sousa's own band be
fore an audience. That was to be the
test of Ki DOWer to hold toe public.
At the Dnlsh the outbursts of ap
plsnse satisfied the composer that be
had succeeded in his undertaking.
Then he dedicated the piece, which is
to be known as 'Sousa's Wedding
March " to the American public.
It is planned 10 have the new
man '1 played by every one of the 100
United States naval banns a the
opening of the new loan drive, Sept.
23, next as a benediction or prayer
for its SOCCBSS, Sousa is a li utenant
in the I'nlted Slates naval reserve
and has trained every one or l!ie na
val bands.
Father of Punctuation.
The present system of punctuation,
now used in all modern languages with
but lnsignilicaut variations, was Intro
duced In the first half of the fifteenth
century by u Venetian printer named
Aldus Manutlus. He is the real father
of punctuation marks of the full stop,
comma, semicolon, colon. Question and
exclamatlou marks, apostrophe and in
verted commas. Manutlus' system was
adopted later by ull printers until it
finally established itself throughout
Europe. Louisville Courier-Journal.
