Greenfield, Mo., Dec.—Four big business buildings on the south side of the public square in this city were completely destroyed by fire at 1:30 o’clock Thursday morning, causing heavy losses. The Gunther hotel, the Farmers’ Telephone Exchange, Hall Millinery store and a pool hall were consumed by the blaze. The fire is supposed to have start- ed from a stove in the pool hall and had gained considerable headway be- | fore the flames were discovered. The| blaze quickly spread to adjoining} buildings and in a remarkable short time four business buildings were ‘ consumed. Before other buildings caught fire, however, the flames were checked. | All of the destroyed buildings were two story brick structures.

New York, Dec.—The government encountered a check Thursday-in its prosecution of the American Sugar Refining Company when it was devel* oped that documentary evidence and many witnesses important to the gov- ernment’s case have disappeared. The missing documents were records kept by city weighers, and neither the documents nor the men who kept them could be found Thursday by the government. But although tally sheets were missing the government was able to introduce testimony showing that every scaleonthe Williamsburg docks _ of the company had been tamperéd with. Conrad Heller, a carpenter, testified to cutting out a part of the wooden stanchion of No. 1 scales, Through the hole thes cut, the gov- ernment contends, the steel spring which manipulated the weights re- corded on the beam was operated. Thomas D. Hyatt, a government weigher, was asked if he had inspect, ed all sixteen scales on the docks in company with the Treasury agent, Mr. Parr. : “Yes,” he answered, “and I found all the scales fixed the same way. “With springs in them?’’ asked the judge. “No, your honor, but the holes were there just the same.’’ : Things Brought to America.
