FIRE THREATENED LIVESTOCK SHEDS AT FAIR GROUNDS Boys Playing With Matches Believed to Have Been Responsible Small boys and matches are said to have been the mischievous com- bination which started whet migit have proved a disastrous fire in the live stock sheds of the Oshawa Fair at Alexandra Park yesterday afternoon. Fortunately a resident of the strict noticed the blaze and immediately called the firs brigade. The firemen arrived on the scene in record time and soon extinguished the flames which were threatening to spread rapidly. Ag the buildings are of frame construction the conflagration might have caused considerable damage. Fortunaely it was check- ed in time and the loss is not esti- mated over fifteen dollars, When they saw the flames shont up the small boys made a hasty exit, Their names are known by the fire department however and they will be warned not to in- dulge in this dangerous practice again. NO ACTION YET ON NEW GOLF COURSE Club Still Holds Option on Property Near Columbus No action has been taken as yet by the Oshawa Golf Club in con- nectioWw with the acquiring of '"Glengow," the summer home of Major R. B. Smith, near Columbus, for the purpose of establishing an- other golf course, The Times was informed yesterday by George Ja- cobs, president of the club. Mr, Jacobs stated that the club still held an option on Mr. Smith's property, and that action might be taken at the next monthly meeting of the directors. Should a deci- sion to purchase the grounds be made, an architect will, be named at once to draft out the new course, he said. Vacuum Tube Acts as Check Valve A vacuum tube is supposed to work like a check valve; that is, it should allow the radio signals to pass through fully in one direc- tion, but should 'completely block any attempt of the signals to flow through the tube backward. If it permitted this backward flow, the circuit in which the tube 1s used would oscillate, setting up squeals and howls in the lound- speaker 'and rendering the receiv- er useless. It takes two to make a bargain, but it takes only one to get stuck. (EXTENSIONS FOR FILTRATION PLANT ARE CONSIDERED ENGINEER IS INSTRUCT- ED TO PREPARE ESTIMATES Other Extensions to the 'Pumping Equipment Also Being Considered Extensions to the local filtration plant were considered at a special meeting of the Oshawa Board of Water Commissioners, held yes- terday afternoon.

The reports to be pre- pared by the city engineer will be considered at an early meet- ing of the Board, WELL-KNOWN EAST WHITBY RESIDENT DIED LAST NIGHT Moses Doolittle Was Prom- inent as Farmer and in Politics The death occurred about seven o'clock last evening in Columbus of Moses Doolittle, resident of Co- lumbus, in his seventy-first year.

Evidence of Negligence "There is evidence of criminal negligence here, and I am going to find out who is responsible," said McCrea. The fire broke out in the dining- room and found ready fuel in the flimsy decorations that covered the walls, As the flames shot around the room there was a wild rush for the dance floor in the centre, and then for the two small rooms. The small dressing-room had no exit, and 30 men and women piled up there, unconscious from smoke or fright. In the women's restroom many more crowded in panic. A window, one or two on the second floor that could be opened, was the way more than a score slid to safe- ty before a fire hose, used as a rope, broke. later. Exit Overlooked John M. Bischoff, Commissioner of the Department of Buildings and Safety Engineering, said that an exit that everyone overlooked or that no one knew about was avail- able for escape from the flaming room. It was through the kitchen, with double doors leading to a stairway not touched by the flames, The storles of those of the sur- vivors able to describe their exper- iences were to the same general ef- fect--the flames burst in upon the diners almost without warning, and almost instantly the nearly two hundred men and women in the dining room became a fighting, struggling mass, seeking exn through the window that alone opened to the outside. Fear swept everything before it. Tables and chairs were overturned, and men and women alike were trampled under foot as the mad rush began.
