BOYCOTT NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR KILLING MISSIONARIES

WASHINGTON - No boycott. no
race feeling. but a mere personal quar-

five American Presbyterian mission
aries recently at LienchOw. in China.
according to the report made to Secre-
tary Root by Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng. the Chinese minister here.
The minister had with him when he
came 10 the state department a copy
Of long cablegram from the vicerOy

on this subject. The viceroy reported
that Dr. Machle and Miss Patterson.
two Of the missionaries who escaped
massacre by reason of their tenpOr-
ary absence from Lienchow. had just
reached Canton under a strong Chi
rese guard. According to DIR. Machle.

Thirty-Nine Lives Lost in a Cheap
Lodging House at Glasgow.
GLASGOW-The most terrible fire
that has occurred in Great Britain
for many years broke out today in
cheap lodging house for men, in Wat
son street, and resulted in the loss of
thirty-nine lives and the severe in
jury of many others. The flames
were first noticed at 6 o'clock this
morning on the fourth floor of the
building, which was occupied by $50
men. An alarm was raised and the
firemen responded quickly. but flames
and smoke were then issuing from
most of the windows on the fourth
floor
An extraordinary scene was created
i.y a procession of almost naked men
rushing out of the entrance to the
building. and against their frantic ef-
forts to escape the firemen had ac-
tually to fight for admission. Reach
ing the upper floors the firemen found
that the narrow passages were be-
coming congested with men who had
dropped to the floors overcome by
smoke The fire. however. was con-
fined to the fourth floor. and as soon
as the firemen were able to get to
work it was speedily extinguiShed.

FOR FEDERAL SUPERVISION
Of LIFE INSURANCE

WASHINGTON Dryden of
New Jersey. who is president of one
of the largest life insurance cOmpa-
MES in the country. had a talk with
the president on the subject of insur-
ance. which the president will discuss
freely in his forthcoming message to
congress. Senator Dryden will intro
duce at the approaching session a bill
providing for federal supervision Of
life insurance. 1t will differ in some
respects from the measure Mr.. Dry
den introduced in the last congress,
but the principle will be the same.
He indicated. in response to inquiries.
that the supreme court had never
passed on the constitutiOnality of a
federal law regulating insurance. al.
though it had held. in the cOnsidera
ton of cases involving purely state
laws. that interstate insurance was
not interstate commerce.
