LARD BURNS AT ALLEGHENY
Spectacular Fire Accompanied by
Danger Occurs when Packing
Plant Is Destroyed.

PITTSBURG, April 25.-One of the most
remarkable and spectacular fires seen in
this vicinity started last night in the will
lam Zoeller Packing company plant Spring
Garden avenue, Allegheny. opposite this
city.
Early today, when the fire was thought
to be under control, a large hreproof ware
house in which was stored 10000 pounds Of
lard suddenly hurst into flames. All efforts
to extinguish the fire in this department
were futile and the fremen finally fastened
the burning lard.
The interior Of the building soon become
a seething furnace. Squirting from crevices,
doors and windows, streams OF hot grease
ran into a sort Of trench hurriedly prepared
IN an endeavor % prevent the hot fluid from
spreading over surrounding territory.
Danger was encountered at every turn by
the fremen. who stood by in case the walls
Of the warehouse should collapse and pre-
vent the blazing lard from reaching the ad-
joining property.
Shortly after the hre was discovered last
night and while thousands OF spectators
were gathered in the vicinity, a dozen large
ammonia tanks exploded with terrific force.
There was a panic among the spectators.
but no one was injured. That no loss OF
life attended the FIRE is considered mar
velous.
Fire was first discovered In the killing
department Of the plant and is supposed "a
have been caused by crossed electric wires
Owing to the inhammable nature of the
grease-laden woodwork. this building was
soon beyond control OF the iremen.
At O'Clock this morning the fire had
practically burned itself out and Il was
then said that $4,000 would be a con-
servative estimate OF the loss.
Assistant Chief Engineer William Gra-
ham and three frerhen were injured by
falling walls and broken glass. but all will
recover.

THREATENING ISSUES TO BE ARBITRATEO

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Details Of the
treaty OF peace and smity between Mica
TaEua and Salvador. which was signed al
AmapalA on Tuesday last. were received
At the State department today through a
onablesram from Phillip Brown, charge Of
4hs American legation at Guatemala
The treaty IL similar to that entered into
a year ago and known as the Marblehead
spact and Il includes a provision for a
general Central American peace congress
20 be held in Nicaragua in the near future
and a special commercial treaty between
Nicaragua and Salvador.
The new conference to be held in Mica
fagua under the terms OF this last agree
ment win be the third Of series Of such
Eatherings OF the republics Of Central
America. each and all with the same pur-
pose, namely. to conserve the peace Of
that section OF the world. The first con-
ference was held at Corinto in 1906 and re-
suited in the adoption Of a scheme for the
settlement OF issues between the little re-
publics, which, II II had been adhered to,
would hrve put an end for all time to the
frequent wars that have rayaged that sec
tion. But within a year, before the con-
clusion OF the Corinto agreement. friction
again developed and actual war between
two Of the republics was only prevented
by the active Intervention Of Secretary
Root This took the form OF proposals to
both sides, which could not be resisted, for
another conference, which was held on
board the United States steamship Marble
head about a year ago. The outcome was
smother agreement, to which four OF the
republics were parties. to preserve the
peace on well defined principles looking TO
the arbitration Of any threatening issues
Nicaragua did not adhere TO that arrange
fnent, taking the ground that Il was un-
NECESSARY because she had already sub
scribed TO the Corinto convention. So in
ths course OF another year trouble again
developed. this time between Nicaragua
and Honduras. over a boundary question,
and incidentally Salvador vns dragged into
the war that followed.
It Is the expectation OF the officials here
that as a result OF the third conference
, about to be held there win be no further
2 disturbance in Central America, at least
FOR many years to come.
