'S SHOE CAUGHT FIRE FROM HEATER Kingston, Dec. 6.--A new men- ace faces the young ladies of the city who wear the ultra-modern shoes and who are not careful where they put their feet. The other day a young lady boarded a street car and happened to sit over the electric heater, She chanced to pull one foot under the seat and in the twinkling of an eye, when the heel rubbed against the heater, a burst of flame was seen. Quick action by the level-headed conduc tor prevented a "casualty," for he rather unceremoniously pulled the young lady's shoe off and pre. vented any further. damage, It seems {®at the heel was covered with celluloid, and this proved a ready prey to the heat.

For instance seven of the wealthiest sportsmen in the United Stutes, clad in immaculate full evening dress, lolled behind clouds of rich tobacco smoke in the exceedingly massive and comfortable chairs in the pri vate offices of Tex Rickard, In through the closed doors filtered the sounds that rise from 20,000 howling fans immersed in the thrills two smashing hockey teams were producing on Rickard pond in the heart of Madison Square Garden. As directors of the Garden they had just presented to the New York Rangers the Stanley Cup, emblem of the world's professional champion. ships, and their work was done for the evening, "They talked of hockey and then of fights and out of the discussion came rabid argument and finally one of the strangest wagers ever made in sport. A pool was organized on the next heavyweight champion of the world. Each wrote his choice on a slip of paper, tossed a large wad of bills or a check into a hat, and agreed that the one who had chosen the ultimaté winner should gather unto himself the entire "pot." But strangest of all were the choices. Tex Rickard, whose name heads all the rest when it comes to the moulding of champions, placed his trust and money on the husky frame of Young Stribling, acrobatic young heavyweight from Macon, Ga., and ignored the possibilities of the one man he idolizes as a fighter --Jack Dempsey, It seemed to the rest almost a breach of friendship, an admission behind locked doors that the old Manager Mauler would never draw on six-ounce gloves again despite the ballyhoo that presages another comeback, Dempséy had a supporter in John McEntee Bowman, hotel magnate, Tex warned him that Jack might SWINDLERS HAVE FEW ASSETS BNT BIG LIABILITIES "Investors" in French Con- cern Find Little Comfort in Report Issued -- Paris, Rec, 6.---Assets of 22,000 francs, less than.$1,000, and liabil- ities of 219,000,000 francs, nearly $9,000,000, were the figures given out today by the legal and finan. cial experts who have been delv- ing into the mixed up- accounting system of the "investment" conm- cerns whose headquarters here were with the subsidiary news- paper, Gazette du France, The experts, who have been busy with a mass of documents and so- called account books in the pala- tial offices of the Gazette, sald that the work was only half completed. Some of them thought that the ul- timate loss to French savings might be close to half a billion francs. Another Arvest Announcement by the police that another arrest might be made witn- in a day or two and refusal by Mar- the Hanau and her former hus- band, Lazare Bloch to answer fur- ther questions by the police, were other developments today in the ndal, the woman, in fact, hint. oi hat she would drag in the names-of "higher ups" unless the pressure upon her is lessened. Because of this hint and also be- cause yesterday a member of the Chamber of Deputies openly said that two Cabinet Ministers were in- volved with shady financial con- cerns, the identity: of the third party implicated by the police. be- came a matter of much comment, The authorities would not say whom they expected to take into custody but rumors and whispers were to the effect that the mran was a prominent politician, Investors There The scenes of yesterday, when thousands of disappointed "in- vestors' clamored in front of the Gazette du Franc for their money, were re-enacted today, There were thousands of the "investors" around the place again, and the po- lice were kept busy clearing the streets, The outfit had scattered through France and stor- ies poured in from the provinces about the losses incurred through those offices. Premier Poincare tonight wrote an open letter to th Socialist De- puty Chastenet, who had interpol- ated the Premier in the Chamber as to "what measures he intended to take to prevent similar occurr- ences in the future," asking the Deputy to furnish the names of the "two Ministers of the Cabinet" which he had said were involved in the financial companies. The Premier declared that "the guilty parties will be severely dealt with, no matter. who they are." HOME CITY HONORS EDWARD JOHNSON Guelph, Dec. 6--"Eddie" Johnson, who used to sing in school concerts here, camé back Wednesday night to be honored by his home city, not so much, it seems, as the world's greatest tenor as because he is "just the same boy we knew years ago, Hon. Hugh Guthrie, who introduced the singer at a complimentary ban- quet in the Ryan Auditorium, pro- claimed him "a real man, a true man, and always a great Canadian." "We are proud to claim him as a fellow-townsman," Mr. Guthrie said, "and many and important as may be the friends he has made during an extended career, there is only one spot in the world where he will find 20,000 people a unit in the opinion which they have -of Edward John- son." Whole City Flocks to Reception More significant of this feeling of civic pride, perhaps, than the ban- quet gathering of prominent. people was the way in which Guelph flock- ed to a public reception laterim the armories, Size of the crowd here reminiscent of the greatest of many gatherings held in that building dur- ing political campaigns. The scene was deeply appropriate for presenta- tion of the citizen's tribute in the {form of an illuminated address. The City of Guelph, in turn, was recipient of a life-size portrait of Mr. John- son, and the first records of his voice produced in the Canadian studios of Victor Talking Machine Company, presented on behalf of that firm by C.

Rich- ard Hoyt, a Wall Street banker, chose Jack Sharkey, while Rickard and Bush, still competing as a team, took the '"field"--all the remaining heavyweights--on the payment of four times the individual wagers. When they had finished, they ar- gued the matter out and then agreed to say nothing about it for several reasons, none of which mattered, But the story was too good to keep and Rickard confessed the details-- all but the exact amount of the wa- gers, "I'd have picked Dempsey," he said, "except that I honestly don't know whether he'll come back.
