NOTE Liberty's Heating System Now Complied
Warm and Comfortable.
What came near being a very
serious Are occured last evening at
the R. R. Patrick homo, azo norm
Winchester street. Fire was dlscov
ered burning in the attic among rub
bisb accumulated there and an alarm
was iiromiitlv sent in. IJi'fore the
fire truck could reach the scene the
flames had gained considerable
headway, but as the fire was practi
cully all inside the building it was
soon extinguished -by chemical. The
attic was filled with papers, several
mattresses and other combustible ar
ticles, which were Ignited by an
overheated stovepipe.
"This same condition Is true in
many other homes In Roseburg,
said James Fletcher, fire truck
driver, in speaking of yesterday
evening's conflagration. "People
pile rubbish Into attics without any
semblance of order; dump In paper,
old clothing, broken furniture, paste
board boxes, and hundred of other
things, which become covered with
dust and need only a spark to set
them afire. Then a flue burning out
overheats the pipe, or an oily rag
starts spontaneous combustion, or
possibly the electric. wiring becomes
defective and a fire starts. It burns
several minutes before it is discov
ered and then in spite of the very
best speed possible for the fire de
partment to attain, the whole upper
portion of the house Is In flames be-
for the truck can reach the scene.
"Not only Is this true or attics, but
It is also the case in basements
Everything imaginable can be found
in the basements of the homes In this
city. Many basements are veritable
fire traps and if a fire should start
it would be next to Impossible for
even a completely equipped tire de
partment to stop the flumes, t
"Residents should be extrenioly
careful about allowing rubblxh to ac
cumulate. It Is an easy matter to
dump some old trash into the base
ment expecting to clean out in the
immediate future, or It is also easy
to pick up something which you
think might be needed In the future
and dump it into a corner In the at
tic.
"Such practices, however, are dan
gerous and by fur the greater per
centage of fires are directly attribu
table to careletis on the part of some
person or persons. Inflamable ar
ticles should be carefully placed in
some portion of the building where
they ure least exposed and where
there Is little opportunity for them to
become ignited. No rubbish should
be allowed'to accumulate in any por
tion of the building and attics and
basements should be cleaned regu
larly In order to prevent any fire
hnzards which might otherwise arise.
'It is much better to put in a few
moments cleaning up to prevent a
Are than to clean up and repair
damage cau.ned by a conflagration. A
Are is expensive even If the home Is
saved, for considerable damage Is
always done by water or chemical or
by necessary removal of shingles or
plaster. This is not preventable ex
cept by careful and frequent Inspec
tion of a home In order that all risks
may be removed."
The Are department was called out
again this morning by a chimney fire
at tne tiome of Mrs. A. C. McRey
nolds at the corner of Jackson and
Lane streets. The roof was smoking
when the firemen arrived, but no
dnmnge wns done except the removal
of a few shingles. -

1,000 ($5,000) to the common
wealth ef Massachusetts and to the
dry of Boston as a mark of his appre
ciation for having appointed him as
agent In England at the "bandsome"
salary of 2.000 ($10,000) and to
make his bequest really valuable with
bis great foresight. Franklin provided
In his will that this 1,000 should be
put out at 5 per cent Interest for one
hundred years; that at the end of
that time 31-181 of the fund accumu

Anthony Found
Be Not Guilty
. The Jury in the case of theh slate
of Oregon against Milton 8. Anlhony
returned a verdict of not guilty, af
ter only a few moments of delibera
tion this morning. Anthony was ac
cused of having stolon and destroyed
a boat belonging to Joseph Lyons, of
Reedsport, but proved his Innocence
conclusively. He was represented by
Attorneys Rice ft Orcutt, while the
state's case was bandied by District
Attorney George Neuner. The Jury
was instructed by Judge Hamilton
and retired at about 11 o'clock this
morning, returning with Its verdict at
noon. A large number of Reedsport
residents were called as witnesses
and spent yesterday and today in the
city. Upon the retirement of the
Jury In the Anthony case the court
took up the case of the state of Ore
gon against Arthur Heavlngham,
charged with the crime of rape upon
16-year-old Grace Stevens, of Wash
ington. The girl is present and will
testify against Heavlngham, who has
retained Attorneys Wlmberly and
Cordon for his defense. He is
charged with having persuaded the
girl to leave tiie train here to spend
the day with him. She was traveling
under the protection of a travelers'
aid society and upon her failure to
arrive at her destination on time an
Investigation was started which re
sulted in Heavlngham's arrest. He
was at that time serving as a South
ern Pacific hrakeman and was dis
missed from serevice prior to his arrest.
School Survey
Will Be Made
M. S. Hamm, superintendent of
the local Bchools has arranged with
the bureau -of Educational Research
at the University of Oregon to have
a survey made of the Roseburg
schools.-A graduate of the University
will be sent here the first two weeks
in December for that purpose, all of
his expenses being paid by the ex
tension divinslon of the University.
The sucvey will be made of the en
tire school system, buildings, equip
ment, grounds, teachers, and the
standard of work being done. The
object of the survey la to bring out
all conditions existing in the schools,
both good and bad, and it is the
general opinion that an outsider,
totally unacquainted with the ex
isting circumstances is the best per
son to do this. The worker at the
end of two week will prepare a chart
which will Bhow exactly how the
school stands, bringing out all de
fects. Supt. Hamm, with the co-operation
of the town and the teach
ing staff, expects to then take the
necessary steps to remedy these de
fects in the school system. These
surveys have been made in many of
the schools, and have always been a
method of great help In working out
a practical basis by which theschool
may be improved. The standard test,
a few of which were given in the
Roseburg schools last year are also
a part or the work although they are
not a part of the private survey but
are general throughout the schools.
These tests will be given In detail
this year In all the grades and In the
hlch school In all subjects, and will
Include both the intelligence tests
and the school achievement tests.
