Stengel told Firemen Ludlow Duerr and Edward Planter after they had rescued him, thai he had forgot en io turn off the pail when he left the room this morning. He was in one of the downstairs rooms when the fire started. Mrs. Mary E. Leugers, at, 116 South Front street, the house adjoining the residence of Fred Thoman, where Mr Stenot'l rented four rooms, noticed thai'lhe light fuse in her house had snapped and burned out.

The lights in Mr. Stengel rooms and in the Leiigers home are on the same circuit. Mrs. Lenders left the house to notify Mr. Stengel that the fuse was Grand Master To Be Guest At a meeting of the Allen club, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Thursday night, it was announced that Mr.

He rushed up stairs, into the room, which was veritable furnace. It is thought that he attempted to save valuable papers and money which were in the room.

City Firemen Ludlow Duerr and Edward Planter notified that the man was upsta'irs. They rushed up and found him in an adjoining room. He evidently staggered from the blazing room in to the next. The firemen carried him to the open air and W. P.

Cahill, undertaker, rushed him to Mercy hospital. It is said that his condition is grave because of his advanced age. Mercy hospital authorities reported that he is badly burned about the face, scalp, arms and hands. It is feared that he may have inhaled the flames. Mr.

Stengel was conscious when rescued, and told firemen that he had forgotten In turn off the electric pad this m.irniug. It became leys to eleventh street South on Eleventh street to Hensley avenue.

Mr. Stengel, it is said, is an expert mechanic and is credited with a number of inventions. Plans for several new inventions were in the room and Mr. Stengel was attempting to save them from the flames. George A.

Stengel, a son, said that Mr. Stengel has a fully equipped work shop in the rear of his home where many of his inventions have been completed. Firemen were able to confine the flames to the single room where it I originated. Damage to property i not exceed $400, it is believed, unless papers of great value to llr, Stengel were destroyed. Dick avenue to Boss avenue, Ross avenue to and along Cr street to the reservoir.

The portion of the main from the pumping station at the end of Third street to the West End of the Black street bridge was installed when the bridge was built. Every effort is being made to eliminate right angled curves and to prevent the tearing up of paved streets, Willard said. Toe sharp curves greatly increases the burden on the city's single high lift pump. The extra main will not only serve as an auxiliary line but will help to reduce pipe friction by providing larger piping capacity from the pumping station to the reservoir on Wilson Hill. Cost of installing the two mains will be about $0,000, it is estimated.

The work was recommended in the 1924 report of the National Board of 1'ire Noozie 0, UNIT TO LEAVE SUNDAY TH BETWEEN Me. Rotarians And Guests Are Delighted With Middletown Rotarians And Hamilton Lions Invited A Splendid Musical Program By Artists "I believe that Kotary will go a long way toward bringing about better understanding and friendlier relations between Hamilton and Middletown and cement a bond of mutual good fellowship throughout the Miami valley. And even though we may have different "bridges" to cross, I feel satisfied that Rotarians and the Eotary spirit will find ways and means to get safely across, for the good of the community and all its citizens." go spoke Frank Pauly, postmaster of Middletown, who is also tie first president of the recently organized Rotary club at Middletown. The occasion meeting of the was the Hamilton regular Botar.y club, held at the Hamilton club yesterday noon. Mr.

Pauly brought a goodly delegation of Middletown Hotariaas. Seventeen members of the Lions' club of Hamilton, accept- ed an invitation and attended the meeting as guests of the Eotarians. Aside from a few remarks by Dr. Harry M. Lowell, president of the Lions, the meeting was devoted tirely to a musical program rendered by Frank Simon and five soloists of his orchestra.

Mr. Simon, who is the director of Middletown's Armco band, gave the Hamilton men a teat such as they seldom, if ever, enjoyed. Each and every one of the soloists was a real artist. There was a flute player who studied music in Petrograd, and all over Europe. There was an oboe soloist who had more medals than he could wear.

A trombone demonstrated to tho audience that sweet mellow sounds may be really obtained from that instrument if you just know how. Miss McClellan, chief accompanist for Miss Simon, obliged with several very Spanish War Veterans To Attend Assembly At Zoo A large number of Spanish War Veterans and their families from Hamilton are planning to attend the big assembly of the Veterans of southwestern Ohio at the Cincinnati Zoo next Sunday.

CAMP CARNIVAL A SUCCESS Boys In Events, A Large Crowd Applauds Beautiful Scenes Despite the bad weather, an unusually large crowd attended the water carnival presented by the boys at Damp Keewaydin Thursday evening.

The historical scenes as staged under the'direction of camp leaders, Ftorien Heiser, LeMar Leyman, John Lewis, Elmer Bartels arid James Margedant, were the real features of the evening. Lighting effects, arranged by Russel Katz, were good despite the cloudy sky. The best swimmers in Camp Keewaydin performed for the benefit of the large audience and judging from the applause their efforts were sticces, ful. 'Jhe historical scones presented were: Indian days and Indian costumes; DeSoto discovering the Mississippi; scenes from the exploration of Marquette and Joliet along the Mississippi; Pilgrim Fathers scene; Washington crossing the Delaware; and a scene depicting pirate days. Spectators marveled at the prc- sentaiion of these scenes and costumes befitting the scenes served to aid the boys in the staging of their parts.

Considerable work was necessary to stage the different pageants and the success of tho carnival can be attributed to the unceasing efforts of Rudy Abrecht, secretary of the boys' department, and the camp leaders. GRANT PAROLE OF MAN Hinger, Morphine Addict, Has Breakdown In Jail DOCTORS PLEAD For Release, Dr. Millikin Volstead Law And Squire's Courts Heeding the appeal of physicians and the recommendation of Mayor M. Y. Shuler, of Sevenmile, Uie coun'ly commissioners Friday ordered the release of AYilliam Hinger, 52, of 109 North Fourth street, from the county jail, where he has been serving ouk a $200 liquor fine.

Hinger, a morphine addict, after was committed to jail Tuesday for failure to pay the fine, suffered a breakdown and his physical condition became serious. Dr. M. F. Vereker, jail physician, was out of the city because of his brother's death, and Dr.

Mark Millikin, Hinger's physician, visited him at the jail and gave him treatment. Since 1918, Dr. Millikn has treated the man, who has locomotor ataia, and has prescribed morphine for the patient. During the course of the hearing before the commissioners, Dr. Millikin bitterly attacked the Volstead law and squire's courts.

He said the prohibition law in its workings has become "infamous, damnable, hideous and unjust." Hits Dry Laws "No squire," he said, "can take (Continued on Page 6.)

To Close Successful Year Wednesday; Much Is Done Summer classes at the Y.

W. C. A. will close with a final session next Wednesday when the girls will complete the lamp shades they have been making under the direction of Mrs. George Sohngen, Jr.

Miss Edna Wolfe, general instructor of the classes, leaves Saturday for a month's vacation at her home in Stanberry, Missouri, necessitating the closing of the classes. An average of twenty girls have attended the classes each day for Eour days of the past three weeks. In this time much progress has been made in several directions. Several plays have been dramatized ivith exceptional success. A little play called "The Doll Shop" was given before the children of the Kiddies' Health Camp on Wilsons' hill Thursday morning.

The play was written and costumes and staging designed by the girls themselves. In the handicraft classes the girls have accomplished an extraordinary piece of work. Kaeh one has made a neat reed basket, cute hand-painted clothes pins, and a very beautiful lamp shade. Everything looks like a boughten article. The girls themselves, as well as Miss Wolfe and Mrs.

Plans Are Complete For County Wide Pythian Picnic At Millville, August 15 Past Chancellors' Association Outlines Events For Entire Day At Hancock Park; Contests of All Kinds Are On Program VALUE BANDTEL ESTATE AT The estate of Margaret Bandtel, deceased, of Liberty township, is valued at $6,177, of which all but $15 is in securities, according to an inventory and appraisement filed in probate court Thursday. Enos Brant, Epsy VanNess and William Elliott were the appraisers. treasurer's office under County Treasurer Stanley Kinzcr. The vacancy created by his going in'to the clerk's office will be tiled by George Rcigart, who has been employed in the treasurer's office.

Preparations were made at a meeting of the picnic committee of the Butler County past chancellors' association at K. of P. temple at Hamilton for a family basket picnic to be held by the association at Hancock's Park at Millville on Saturday, August 15, for all members of the Knights of Pythias lodges of Butler county and their families. This being the first picnic held by the association, every effort is being made by the committee, to make it an enjoyable affair for all who attend. The committee has arranged various contests for the ladies knights, and children and some beautiful prizes have been secured for the winners of these contests.

The program arranged by the committee is expected to start about 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon at which time the various contests will be held and prizes awarded. Following this, which will take until la'te in the afternoon, those present will be given an opportnn- be given. Some of the features of the contests will be an old fiddler contest, tug of war for ladies and men, horse shoe pitching contest, nail driving by ladies, oldest Knight of Pythias present, member with largest family, and many others which will add to the pleasures of the day, and make it one to be long remembered this cost would seem rather staggering at first consideration, it is evi- that some drastic step must be taken to relieve the daily jams at Main and streets. Plan In Mind The plan which Willard now hi. in mind is to construct, as near to the west end of the bridge as possible, a short curving bridge.

This liridgo will cira over to Mio Miami Conservancy levee. A street, according to the proposed plan, is then to bo constructed along the top of the levee as far as the end of Park avenue. The short portion of Park avenue between the River and street would have to be improved also. The proposed short bridge, it is pointed out could carry heavy traffic hound from the East Side of tho river to the factories and residences on the Northern half of the West Side division as well as ret traffic. This would make it unnecessary for such traffic to pass through the narrow and Main streets intersection and would make possible the establishment of Main Street as an arterial highway.

All traffic bound for the west side would be much more quickly moved than at present, since it is now necessary to cause frequent halts of through traffic at the corner 'allowing the normally heavy street traffic to into Main. Other Plan As a remedy to the situation, other plans have been proposed. One of these was. the construction of a. bridge across the river from Dayton street to Park avenue.

The other plan, it is believed, would accomplish the same result with about one fourth the cost. Willard pointed out the fact that some of the congestion at Main and streets could lie re- ievecl even now by the use of the Black street bridge. For many, however, this is a roundabout route, and these prefer to pass through the daily jams at Main rather than, take the longest way around. An automatic traffic control signal, in the opinion of many, has failed to materially alleviate tho congestion at Main and strees. It has been impossible to eliminate left hand turns at the corner, and many near accidents have occurred since the signal was installed.

Cars coming from street turn left when tho signal flashes red and often tie up traffice bound east and west on Main street. Willard expects to make an estimate of the cost of building such a bridge as is planned for consideration of city officials in the near ity to enjoy their basket by all those attending. after which several short entertainments will bo given, by an address by some noted speaker. The evening will then be spent in dancing, 'which "will include some of the old time dancing. A prize waltz will also be held and a prize for the oldest couple dancing will also All Knights of Pythias are urged not to forget the date and come to Hancock's Park at Millville and enjoy themselves.

A prize is also to be given Io the Knights of Pythias lodge in the county having the largest percentage of members atteml- liis picnic.
