FDLFILL PROMISE S
AGED ARTIST STARVES
MONEY AT HAND.
WITH
James B. Watson Refuses to Undergo
Operation for Oancer That Makes It
Impossible for Hun to Eat or Talk,
Until His Orders for Pictures Have
Been Filled.
I am suffering the agonies of the
damned and'am starving to death with
money in my pocket."
This note, handed to Superintendent
W. P. Barton of the poor department
today, explained the condition of James
B. Watson, once a well-known artist,
now a helpless invalid afflicted with
cancer in the throat which prevents
him from eating or talking.
Watson, however, has the true artist
spirit and steadfastly refuses to under
go an operation until he finishes pic
tures he has promised to deliver. On a
diet of port wine and milk in small
quantities, he is working heroically to
make his promises good.
In his younger days Watson gained
an enviable reputation as a portrait
and scenic painter, and his annual in
come amounted to thousands of dollars.
He lived up his income as he .journeyed
thru life, and his lack of foresight pre
vented him from saving against a rainy
day. The money came easily and went
more easily. A few years ago his age
began to tell, and altho he could still
paint, he could not undertake the more
difficult work. Last winter he con
sented to be sent to the county poor
farm and today the walls of many of
the rooms are decorated with his pic
tures.
In the spring he left the institution,
saying that he could remain idle no
longer, and since that time has taken
contracts for a large amount of work.
Two months ago a lump appeared in
his throat and he was horrified to learn
that it was the deadly cancer. He
braced up, however, and smilingly went
about his work. The disease became
more virulent and today he could
neither talk nor eat. He has been in
this condition for two weeks.
Superintendent Barton made ar
rangements for an operation at the hos
Eital, but the old man says he must
nish his work, and then if he has time
for the operation he will submit. He
called at the hospital to get some medi
cine to allay his pam, and went out
with the usual smile.
"If I die as soon as the work is fin
ished it won't be so bad," he said,
"but die with it unfinished? Never'
If I get well I will paint more pic
tures.

DO LIVES, TH O GIVEN
SUPPOSED FATAL DRU
One tablespoonfnl of prussic acid is
en'ough to kill the average dog. When
a dog takes two spoonfuls and then
wags his tail and whines for more there
is something the matter, either with the
acid or the dog. An incident of this
nature has caused the Humane Society
to start an agitation for a gas chamber
and in the meantime to equip its official
killer with a gun.
Not long ago a tender-hearted
woman telephoned to the society's of
fice that she had a dog which was find
ing life &. burden and requested that a
man be sent to put it out of its misery.
The agent used prussic acid. Instead
of writhing in his death agony, the
brute showed all the signs 01 revival.
It is still living happily in his old
home, but the society's agent is ill at
ease. The only theory by which he can
account for the unaccountable action of
the deadly poison is that he has beeny
the victim of a substitution and from
a faint suggestion of departed spirits
which hangs about the vial is almost
persuaded that 4he drug clerk, suspect
ing him of designs upon his own life,
gave him whisky.

IN GA S FILLED ROO
Eight firemen came near losin*g their
lives in a fire that broke out in the Dia
mond Iron works at Eighteenth avenue
N and First street, last night.
The fire started "in the engine room
where several tanks of oil and gasolene
are stored. When' the firemen arrived
they hurried to different parts of the
building to get the streams into play.
Eight or them welit to the engine room
in the basement where the fire started
and were speedily enveloped in the
poisonous gas.
They were Captain Kane, Lieutenant
Volkert, Amos Therian and Ed Llewel
lyn of Engine company No. 14 Captain
Price, Matt Spittle and Charles Oraigie
of Hose company No. 4 and Lieutenant
Nick Loye of No. 2 truck.
As the men were fighting the flames
the escaping gas from the oil tanks
caught fire and blazed fiercely in front
of the entrance. The air was laden
with deadly fumes and the eight men
were driven to the other end of the
basement. They were about to give
up the fight when one of them discov
ered a small window in an unlighted
part of the room. Thru this aperture
they scrambled to safety.
After a hard fight, lasting over two
hours, the flames were extinguished.
Much of the machinery was badly dam
aged by water and heat and the build
ing was badly scorched thruout. The
loss will be about $5,000.

OBSERV E RULE S
BUILDING INSPECTOR URGES CAU-
TION AT PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES.
Provision of Building Ordinances Pro
hibiting'Chairs in Aisles Is Likely to
Be Disregarded at Holiday Season, as
Is Also that Regarding Locking of
Exits. Building Inspector James G. Hough
ton extends a warning to pastors of
churches and all other persons in au
Kioritv cvei places where large crowds
may gather during the holidays, that
the building ordinances of the city must
be observed.
One provision of the ordinance which
is likely to be most generally violated
is that regarding aisleB and passage
ways. It is wholly contrary to the law
to place any seat, eampchair or any
other obstruction whatever the aisles
when any service or entertainment is
being held. This is an exceedingly dan
greous practice, for in th eevent of a
fire or a panic from any cause the ob
struction of the usual modes of egress
greatly intensifies the confusion and in
creases the danger.
It is known that this provision is fre
quently evaded, but Mr. Houghton
warns the authorities that this practice,
dangerous at all times, is particulary so
during the holidays when the churches
are liberally decorated with evergreen
and inflammable material.
Another section of the ordinance re
quiring special attention at this time is
the p'-ovision that all doors leading to
the outside be unlocked and remain un
locked thruout the entire service so that
in the event of accident the utmost fa
cilities for escape are provided. The les
son wps taught by the Iroquois theater
horror in which scores of lives were sac
rificed which might have been saved had
the emergency exits, which were liberal
ly provided, been unlocked as they
should have been.
It should not be necessary to warn
the members of decorating committees
that many serious accidents have oc
curred in churches and elsewhere thru
carelessness in placing evergreen, paper
and bunting in such close proximity to
gas jets or lamps that they caught fire.
A little eare in this particular might
prevent serious catastrophe.
