HE IS CLOSELY GUARDED.
General Ezeta Is Not Allowed to Leave His
 Room.

hOOis
 San Francisco. Aug. 3I It Is reported that the United States borities have been informed that frid of General Ezeta had laid plans I him to es- cape from the officers . are now holding him as a prison in a hotel here. and that his guart-, have been doubled and the doors 'o's q and the windows barred. Ec
 When General Ezeta was ested and taken ashore and his com aions al- lowed to take rooms at their hotel at their own expense. being guarded con- stantly, however, by two deputies. He was notified in a general way that he would be allowed the liberty of the corridor on the sixth floor under the watchful eye of the deputy.
 This was, of course, with the idea of giving him a chance to exercise.
 On his own part and for his compan- ions, General Ezeta gave his parole of honor as a soldier and a gentleman that no effort would be made to escape. This arrangement went along without a clash. Several times within the first few days the general took short walks on the streets and got some sort of a glimpse or life in San Francisco. Now the general has been notified that he willgbe required to keep himself closely to room No. 620, being allowed to leave 1t only at meal times. There is to be no more exercising in the corridors and no more strolls on the streets, even in the care of deputies.
 He explained that he thought this a rather peculiar order, considering that his word as soldier had been given that no attempt would be made to es- cape. His attorney expostulated in the same vein, but to no avail, and to room No. 620 the general has been since con- fined. An extra guard has been placed inside with him, the door is locked on the outside and another deputy is placed there to see to 1t that no at- tempt is made to sortie through.

ATTACKS ON MINCKwITz

Made BY Pupils in the Kansas City HiG Ia
School
The Kansas City Journal contains the
following in regard to an attack on Prof.
r. III. Minckwitz, who was for several
years connected with the Topeka high
school, but who is now a teacher of Latin
and Greek in the Kansas City high
school:
Three Of the most popular members
of the high school class which was grad
uated on last Tuesday night confessed
yesterday morning to having been part
authors of the pamphlets entitled 'Cen-
trail High School Revelations" which
were in circulation on the night of grad
uation. - They said that
they had been instrumental in having
the pamphlets published, but were not
the writer's of the most abusive and sour
rilous portions
The "Revelations' contained some very
vicious attacks upon Professor Minck-
witz, the instructor in Latin and Greek
in the school. While Principal Buchan-
said: Il would give hundred dollars
rather than see Professor Minckwitz."
The words were no sooner out of his
mouth than Professor Minckwitz step
ped into the room. He showed plainly
the pain he felt, for all of the young
gentlemen had been pupils of his
for four years.
Turning to one, he said: sI have tu-
tored you for days and nights, and done
my best in school hours and out of them
to advance your interests. l thought
you were gentleman. l care nothing
OF what has been said Of me, but do
care for your disgrace" The tears came
into his eyes as he spoke, and turning
around he stepped out of the room, too
overcome to speak further.

TREACHEROUS AS EVER
The Gasoline Stove Responsible for
a Serious Disaster.
GEORGE M. CHASE AND HIS son


George M. Chase, the veteran shoe
merchant and his son Fred Chase, were
seriously burned this morning about
o'clock in their heroic efforts to save
from damage by fire the property of their
next door neigh bors.
The fire which occurred at 7:05 this
morning in the two story brick residence
at 917 Topeka avenue. owned by w. r
Martin, and occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin and also by Mrs. Julia Summers
who occupies two rooms up stairs The
fire started from gasoline stove in Mrs.
Summers rear room, on which she was
heating some water for bathing purposes.
Mrs. Summers is Ia ignorance of how the
stove happened to explode, unless it was
caused by her turning the flame up too
suddenly.
The alarm of fire was turned in from
box 80, only half a block away. Mr..
Chase and Fred Chase who live at 921
Topeka avenue ran to the house and
were the first to arrive. The fire had
spread over the floor and the back wall,
and with Mir. Chase at one end of large
blanket and Fred Chase at the other end,
the two started into the room to try to
put it over the stove and if possible
smother the flames. just then something
happened. Either the stove upset or
the tank burst, nobody is sure which.
At any rate both Mr.. Chase and his son
suddenly IOunQ themselves enV6lOp-
ed in flames. Mr.. Chases face and
hands were horribly burned. His
hair was burned off, his nose and lips
were literally cooked and he was other
wise badly burned about the face. There
is grave danger that Mr.. Chase inhaled
some of the fire, for he has been repeat
eddy attacked with nervous chills since
the occurrence.
Fred Chase's injuries are much of the
same nature as his fathers, but probably
trif1e less serious, although his burns
are painful in the extreme. He was
badly burned about the face and scalp,
but only one hand, his right, was burned.
DR.. Reid Alexander is the attending
physician and pronounces the njuries Of
both men most serious, but probably not
fatal, unless in the case of Mr.. Chase,
the internal injuries should prove worse
than is expected Fred Chase has youth
and strong. constitution in his favor,
and he was able to walk about the house
Neither man was burned about their
body and their clothes were not even
scorched.
As to the fire, it was put out with some
difficulty with the chemical steamer
alone The damage will be about $125
fully covered by insurance. Mr. Martin
