Warden Cannot Find
Cause of the Fire
Fire Warden Morris, who has been In
vestigating tho fire which damaged the
building occupied by the Burgess.Oranden
company, 1511 Howard street, asserts that
from all Indications the fire started on
the first floor of the building, to the 'rear,
In an , office occupied by Walter W.
Sherwood, electrician. No supposition as
to Its origin can be given, cither by Mr.
Sherwood, the Burgess-Oranden people or
the fire warden, and the cause of the
damaging conflagration will In all prob
ability remain an unsolved mystery.
The portion of tho building occupied by
the Omaha Gas company was practically
unscathed by the fire, but was damaged
considerably by water. According to one
of the company's officials, the rooms will
not be occupied for at least bIx weeks, by
whloh time everything ts expected to bo
ehlpshapo again.
A divorce suit Is to be the next move In
the eventful married life ot Icsllo I
King, manager of the Omaha Wool and
Storage company, whose wedding last
September to Miss Dorothy A. Gardner
of Chicago, known as ono of that city's
beautiful Klrls, was a notable social
event. According to excellent authority
attempts nt reconciliation have failed,
their former differences having been ac
centuated by Mr. King's Injunction suit
to prevent his mother-in-law, Mrs. Ievt
A. Gardner, from continuing ner visits
at his home, and tho beautiful residence
at 3202 Woolworth avenue, prepared by '
Mr. Ktng tor his bride, will not again bo
occupied by tho young wife, Mr. King's
suit was given wldo' publicity.
Mr. and Mrs. Gardner filed affidavits
In district court yesterday answering the
Injunct on suit, which Is still pending,
though no hearing has been held, as Mrs.
Gardner and her daughter Immediately
left for Chicago nB soon as the putt was
Martcd, which was a little more than two
weeks after the birth of a baby son.
Mrs. Gardner's affidavit says that al
though .she visited her daughter three
times in six months she came each time
by Invitation and was never told that her
presence was not desired. She asserts
that sho was moved In all her notions
only by anxiety to do tho best for her
daughter and that what advice she gave
was asked by her daughter In connection
with her relations as a wife,
Sho denies that sho Induced Mrs. Ktng
to go to Chicago In December and says
that Mr. King only persuaded her to
return home by making a trip to Chicago.
Mrs. Gardner asserts that the statement
that she was extravagant in the pur
chase of a wardrobe for the baby Is an
"unqualified falsehood" and thnt she
herself paid for all the baby's clothes she
bought.
She alleges that on one occasion shortly
before Mr. King started his suit tho fam
ily telephoned to the police station when
Mr. King becamo "abusive."
Howell's Half Truths and Whole Lies I
Tlio boss of tho water works is using aMIttlc of the taxpayer' money
to blow his own horn by post card purporting to tell what great things ho
Is doing. Tho purpose, of course, Is to ease up popular wrnth nt tho broken
promise of lower water rates by pretense thnt the extortionate charges aro
offset by other benefits. Tho exhibit, however, ts but An ingenious concoc
tion of half truths and whole lies.
Howell soys:
"Tho only property tax paid by tho peonlo of Omaha on
account of tho water plant ts a hydrant tax, formerly levied
to pay a hydrant tax to tho Omaha water company."
This Is a pnlpublo perversion, for In addition to paying tho hydrant
rental tax tho people haro nlso becn saddled with 9100,000 of taxes formerly
paid by the water company, nnd which tho wntcr company would continue
to pay If It retained the plant.
Howell says:
"Tho last full year's taxes paid by tho Omaha Water
company was for 1911, nnd that year tho company paid tho
city of Omaha on account of occupation nnd all other taxes
J50.649.07."
This is a deliberate deception. The water company's taxes for Its last
year were in the neighborhood of $00,000. If tho water company were
still paying taxes on Its plant, this Is what It would have had to pay, com
putcd on the Inst tax rate levied, applied to tho last assessment made:

WARNS FRffiTO FP1 TRIP
Robert Hayes Suggests Danger nnd
Saves Railroader from Death.
HAD CHOSEN THE CALIFORNIA
Wnm to Have Tnken I'awnKC on 111-
Kntc.l Vennel llnil It Not Ilccn for
the Solicitude of lletnrn
litir Traveler.
Tho Persistent ana udlcloun Use of
Newspaper Advertising Is the Road to
Business Success.
Because he Is possessed of a remarkable
Intuition of what ho calls hunches."
Robert Hayes, freight solicitor for the
Burlington In Omaha, was tho means of
preventing a friend and business asso
ciate from going to his death In the
steamer State of California, which struck
a rock and sank In Gambler's bay,
Alaska, Sunday morning.
Hayes had Just returned from hts va
cation In Alaska and ho stopped In Seat
tle for a few days, mooting his many rail
road friends and acquaintances. While
there, Hamilton Taylor, employed In the
Great Western freight department In
Seattle. Informed Hayes that he was con
templating a trip to Alaska and he had
about decided to book passage on tho
State of California, as he thought It to
be about the safest of the ships on the
Alaska run, It being entirely of stcol con
structton. '
Rock linchnrteil.
Hayes, howevor. Is a good Judge of
building construction, and he had como tn
the conclusion' that wooden boats would
not telescope If they struck rocks, while
steel boats would be sure to. And, as
the Alaska boats' are frequently caught in
heavy storms that drlvo them In all di
rections and as many of tho rocks In the
Alaska straits and bays are uncharted,
Hayes believed a wooden constructed ves
sel to be safer than one steel constructed.
Accordingly, he gave Taylor his views
on the subject and Taylor took the advice
and booked passage on a woo'den vessel,
leaving Seattle the sumo day.
Hayes saw the fitate of California In
Seattle four days before It went to Its
fatal trip, loading Its cargo and ho re
marked at the time that the steamship
companies took Innumerable chancos
sending veritable tubs, loaded to tho ca
pacity, on such risky trips as those In
Alaska waters.
