INDUSTRIAL DOME FIRES
CAUSED BY IQ-YEAR-OLD
John Rodkey. an Inmate. Confesses to
Detective Ibach He Caused Three
Blazes—.Telephone Gossipers Cause
s2oo Damage in West End
Following the third fire at the Chil
dren's Industrial Home yesterday, an
investigation revealed the fact that
this blaze and the two fires Monday
were started by John Rodkey, a 10-
year-old inmate. The boy made a con
ftssion to Detective Ibach, who quizzed
the itimates of the institution.
John said he started the lircs in clos
ets on each occasion, igniting some
bed clothes with matches, he found in
the cellar. The blaze yesterday was
discovered in time to be extinguished
with hand extinguishers after the
building was filled with large volumes
of smoke.
The little fellow said he set the
place on fire only to be mischievous.
It is likely he will bo placed in i-harge
of a probation officer, who will take
liim before the next term of juvenile
court.
A fire yesterday afternoon partly
destroyed the home of Charles Reese,
lU4I Fulton street, resulting in a S2OO
loss. It was stated by Eire Chief
Kindler that litthp damage would have
been done had it not been for some
women who were holding a chat on
the telephone, and who refused to re
lease the line when "informed of a fire
in the vicinity.
The fire broke out iu a small shantv
owned by Adam Kreig, which adjoins
the Reese property. A neighbor who
saw the flames hurried to the telephono
to call the Reilv Hose Company, but
when lifting the receiver he found the
line was engaged., When the parties
were asked to release the line a few
minutes they refused. An alarm was
then sent in from box No. 62, Fourth
an<( Hamilton streets, but when tho
company responded tRe shanty was al
ready a mass of flames, which had eat
en their way into the Reese home.
Firemen also responded last evening
to a call at Sixth and Cumberland
streets. On arrival they found a chim
ney had been afire on Grape avenue,
which was quickly extinguished. The
Susquehauna company was called to
extinguish a blaze which started in the
ruin* of the Montgomery warehouse.

HARDEST FIGHTING TET TO
COME, SAMS. WOMAN'S
HUSBAND NSW HI THE WAR
London, April 22, 1.25 P. 'M.—Ar
thur Hamilton L«ee, M. P., who was a
'British military attache with the Unit
ed .States army during tha Spanish-
American war and who married Miss
Kuth Moore, of New York, is at present
i serving as a colonel on the continent.
He has written a letter home from the
•British headquarters in Prance in which
he says:
"The allies have it in their power to
win, but this does not mean that vic
tory is close at hand or that the hard
est fighting and the heaviest losses are
not yet to come. The vast German
armies occupying and devastating a
great part of France and most of Bel
gium are held in check, it is true, but
in no sense are they defeated. Our
men at the front are keen, skilled'and
determined, and our victory at Neuve
Chappelle has filled them with enthusi
asm and confidence. Their one desire
now is t' advance, but this they can
nct do withptit 'better support from
their mates and rulers at home.
"They fully realize that the casual
ties already incurred must be doubled
Rn<i trebled before victory finally is
won. They cannot understand why the
greatest manufacturing country in the
world should not supply them with suf
ficient shells eight months after the
outbreak of the war and they express
themselves freely on this subject. In
the meanwhile we all must make up
lost time, not counting the cost. Men
and shells in an increasing stream, is
the need of (He hour."
CONVERSATIOITOF CARAFA
AND SALANDRA ABOUT THE
WAR CAUSES DISCUSSION
Rome, April 21, 8.20 P. M., via
Paris, April 22, 2 A. M.—Much dis
cussion lias been arou&ed by the inter
view with Senator Biccardo Carafa,
published to-day in the "Messagero"
regarding his conversation with Pre
mier Salandra concerning the war sit
uation and the subsequent official
statement denying that the premier
made "any concrete statements of'any
kind," when informed by the Senator
that Prince Von Buelow, the German
ambassador, was pessimistic over the
success of negotiations between Italy
and Austria. The premier was quoted
as having said "impelled by the para
mount interests of our country we will
proceed with our duty against all our
antagonists."
A eareful inquiry regarding the in
cident discloses that Senator Carafa
talked with Prince Von Buelow on
April 15 when negotiations between
Italy and Austria were about to be
broken off owing to the difficulty ex
perienced in regard to a compromise.
The German ambassador was greatly
disappointed and expressed thin feel
ing to Carafa. The latter, after dis
cussing the question with other Sen
ators, considered it his duty to com
municate to the premier the views of
the German diplomat. Albout the same
time persons at the foreign office ob
served that Prince Von Buelow seem
ed more depressed when he left the
room where he had been received by
Foreign Minister Sonnino.
Since that time, however, there has
been a break in what seemed a hope
less deadlock in the negotiations. This
evidently resulted from nome conces
sions made either by Italy or Austria.
Senator Carafa, therefore, gave pub
licity to his interview with the premier
just at a time when negotiations with
Austria had been resumed and when
Prince Von Buelow had again become
hopeful that they would be success
ful.
HEROISM OF AN AVIATOR
SENT TO BOMBARD PART OF
BELCIAN COAST THRILLS
Paris, April 22, 5.20 A. M.—A story
telling of the herois»» of aa aviator de
scribed as "do M. whose fa
there was killed in one of the first en
gagements of the war, has been sent to
the "Petit Journal" by a correspond
ent with the northern army.
"De M. - " was sent with a
sergeant to bombard a corner of the
Belgian coast where the Uermans had
been showing exceptional activity. They
had to pass over a region where Kolaml
Garros accomplished his most sensa
tional exploits and where the Germans
had installed a hundred anti-aircraft
guns.
The aeroplane was piloted safely
through a storm of shells while the ser
geant dropped bombs, according to in
structions, and thin turned towards the
French lines, rising to a height of 9,-
000 feet to\avoid the hail of shrapnel.
Suddenly a German shell smashed the
front wheels and hurled through the
machine, severing the aviator's left
foot. Tho aeroplane began to plunge
downward, but "de M. -" gritted
his teeth and righted the machine, keep
ing it headed towards camp. The ser
geant, who thought they were done for,
supported the pilot with his left arm
while with his right he started to pencil
a farewell letter to his mother. They
Try This If You
Have Dandruff
There ia one sure way that never
Sils to remove dandruff completely and
at is to dissolve it. This destroys it
entirely. To do this, just got about four
ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or "four
more application* will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of rt, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find; too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a humored times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is all you will need. This simple
remedy has nover been known to fail.

AEROPLANES IN TWO-HOUR
BATTLE ALONG THE RHINE
Geneva, April 22, 4.10 P. M.—The
Rhine, from Basel to Muclhausen, was
the scene of an aerial engagement
Tuesday afternoon from 5 until 7
o'clock. It was witnessed by gather
ings of people at many points of van
tage. . ■
Four aerophones of the Allies, two
British and two French, moved out

Free Transit for Aniline Dyes
Madrid, Via Paris, April 21, 11.05
P. M. —Marquis De Lenta, Spanish
Foreign Minister, announced at a
meeting of the Cabinet to-day (hat
France hail consented to permit the
free' transit of aniline dyes, oxalic
acid and other chemical products be
tween Italy and Spain. The stoppage
of imports of these articles from Ger
many brought Spanish industries vir
tually to a standstill, throwing thou
sands out of work. The action of the
French government thus removes one
of the principal causes of economic
distress in Spain.
