BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1917. A Big Musical Novelty— "3 The Saxophone Records by the Saxo Sextette HE singular veiled, rich tone of the saxo- phone—a hint of reeds, brasses and strings all in one—has at last, and we believe for the FIRST TIME, been reproduced with absolute tone-fidelity in a series of marvelous Colqmbxa recordings by the Saxo Sextette, the sensation of the country.

English and a temporarily lively chase about ths corridors before being re-captured. Policeman English, unaware that the cell was tenanted, opened the door to get several cups for the one- course menu served as breakfast to prisoners. Snapping viciously at him, the dog ‘streaked it” out of the door ,through the entrance to the cellroom and on its way towards free- dom. The pursuit was lively while it landed, the report that a suspected mad dog was at liberty in the build- ing causing a number to join in the kunt. The dog was later taken into custody by Dog Warden John Coffey- INCENDIARY SUSPECTED. Fire in some waste near a cellar window of the building adjoining fire headquarters on Commergcial street, occupied by Valentine Bdllerer's sa- loon on the ground floor and apart- ments above, was discovered late yes- terday afternoon by John and William Mulvihill, bovs who were playing in the neighborhood and noted the smoke. Fireman Michael Leyden was notified and extinguished the flames without assistance. There was an in- vestigation by the authorities as, al- though it was apparently of accident- al origin, there were indications that it may have been incendlary. The waste was just outside the cellar window proper in a place used to aid ir the handling of coal and other ma- tenials stored in the cellar. r A viclous bulldog, brought to po- POST TOASTIES" —d3 ! o — e——— ] BULLETS FALL TO ALY FIRE BUG Man Seen Applying Torch to Barn | at Power Plant Discovered in the act of setting fire to a barn at the power house of the United Electric Light and Water company off Corbin avenue about 2 o'clock this morning, an unidentified skulker disregarded the orders of Su- pernumerary Policeman Harry An- derson to halt, apparently escaped three bullets sent after him as his form disappeared in the gloom and eluded a posse of police rushed to the scene. Casting aside his heavy service overcoat, Policeman Anderson extinguished the threatening blaze that would hate been beyond control with a few seconds’ more headway and then started in pursuit of the rapidly-fleeing form. The few seconds’ delay was sufficient for the pursued to make good his escape. He was “lost” on Harrison street. Realizing the importance of effecting a capture, Policeman Anderson aroused residents of that thoroughfare, requesting that an emergency call be telephoned to headquarters for re-inforcements. Ser- geant George J. Kelly received the call at 2:15, rushing Policeman Gustav Hellberg and Patrick Howley to the scene in the patrol. The section was searched thoroughly without success. Vigilance and quick work by Po- liceman Anderson frustrated the at- tempt of the maurauder, believed, b the authorities, to be a sympathizer of the Central Powers in a campaign to cripple the city’s public service plants. There is a strongly-developed suspicion that he is the same person responsible for the reign of incendiar- ism in the city, the person discovered skulking about the Traut & Hine manufacturing plant several weeks ago and the suspiciously sppearing person fired on by a guard at the Lake Shuttle Meadow pipe line late Tuesday night. Ignors Command to Halt. Policeman Anderson was making his rounds when his attention was at- tracted to a flickering light at the nearby barn, and flames burst sudden- 1y into view. Almost at the same time that he started on a run for the building, the form of a man was seen to make a hurried exit and dash for the street, using great efforts to keep in the shadow. A command to halt under penalty of being madc a target for Policeman Anderson’s heavy ser- vice revolver only seemed to increase his speed. Three bullets were sent af- ter his rapidly disappearing form. Hastily sprveying the scene and casting aside his overcoat as he ran Policeman Anderson reached the scene of the rapidly-spreading flames, scattered the burning waste to one side and stamped out the flames. There was every indication that the fire had been cleverly planned and started in such a manner that, but for the vigilance of Policeman Anderson and his quick work, it would have been beyond control before assistance could reach the scene Making sure that the flames were quenched, Policeman Anderson, although greatly handicapped by the delay, started in pursuit of his quar- ry now a long ways ahead and rapidly disappearing The revolver shots had aroused the neighborhood, and resi- dents, scantily clad, appeared at win- dows and doors. The request was made that someone tclephone in a call to police headquarters for help. Police authorities are condrgins an investigation today. They : a loss to explain the cause of the v tempted firing of the building unlc a part of the general campaisn of the incendia who is at large, or for the purpose of getting the power house guards away from the main building so that it could be fired, blown up or jte valuable machinery ruined.
