CHILD TELLS THIEF
 WHERE MONEY IS
COaxed and Scared Into Re- Realing Hiding Place of
 amily Wealth.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-Burglars whom she had surprised in the act of robbing the home of her father, John Serrota, No. 50 Canal street, Wood haven, L. l., so terrified 12-year-oId Sadie Serrota as she sat on the knee Of one Of them that she revealed where the family jewels and money were kept.
 Entering through the rear window on the ground floor, the burglars ran- sacked the basement and then went upstairs, where the Serrotas were sleeping. Sadie was awakened and peered into the hail. She was seen by one of the burglars, who drew her roughly into the hall. At first the child was too terrified to speak, but as one of the men sat upon a chair and demanded that she tell where her father kept his yaluables she regained her voice and screamed for help.
 Her cries aroused her father and a relative, Charles -Colen. who came rushing into the hallway. One of the burglars seized Coten, threw him to the floor and tied him.
 Another of the burglars, drawing a revolver, fired at Serrota, wounding him in the right side. Serrota fell, and although he was not seriously hurt, he knew 1t would be fatal for him to at tempt to fight of the burglars, so he lay where he had fallen.
 In the meantime. the burglars who had the child on his lap alternately petted and threatened the child, and finally she told him that he and his companions would probably find what they were seeking in chiffonfer.
 Serrota had the day before deposited several hundred dollars in a bank and the burglars got only three gold watches and $11 in money.

 the pastor of the parish of Bisbee. and how in those days what is now the leading city in the Territory con sisted Of few frame houses cluster ed at point now occupied by the copper Queen store. He commend ed the pastor and parishioner es Els. bee for the splendid work which sAey did in providing the convent scAooi for the education of the young. and closed his remarks by paying an eIo. quent tribute to the host and hostess,
 Judge Goodbody was called upon and responded in a very eloquent 'nan, her. He took as the subject of his talk the work of educating the young and exhorted his hearers to never he lax in this regard.
 The Rev. Father Dalton, chaplain of the Fifth United States Cavalry who is well known throughout the southwest as a lecturer, was called upon and responded in the happy man ner well known to those who have ever heard him. He also dwelt on the necessity of giving che young a proper education, and paid tribute to the ladies of the Bisbee parish, whose eff forts are to great degree responsible for the new convent school.
 Joseph E. Morrison was introduced as the silver tongued orator sf the north, and in the short address he made, although he refused the title, one could easily distinguish the ora torical ability which led the chairman to pay him the tribute.
 The Bisbee Choral Union, under the direction of Professor KrinbiH, called about this time and were cordially welcomed. After meeting the bishop the glee club rendered several selec- tions in a most pleasing manner. After each song every one applauded enthu- sicastically until an encore was ren- dered
 Rev. Father Muerer, in a few well chosen remarks, referred to the cor dial relations which have existed be- tween his pensioners and himself, and thanked them heartily for their CO., operation in the work of building up the parish. He thanked the bishop for his visit to Bisbee on behalf of the parish, and concluded by asking fer the continued cooperation of the en- tire parish.
 At this point J. P. Connolly pre- sented Father Dalton with beautiful many happy hours which he has af- forded the Knights of Columbus dur ing the past three years. Father DaE ton has resigned from the army, and expects to leave for the east in short time. The chaplain responded in an eloquent manner.

DELAGDO WILL FIGHT
 AGAINST GOING BACK Mexican Wanted For Murder Decides to Exercise Right
 to Legal Safeguard,

In spite of the report to the effect that Estevan Delgado, alleged to be the man who committed brutal mur- der at Pirtleville, near Douglas, sev- eral months ago. would return to Ari- zona without making any fight, it de vefoped when Sheriff Jack White ar- rived al Fl Paso to secure the prisoner who is being held in jail there. that the Mexican would fight against his return to the Territory.
 When White was informed that Delgado was under arrest in the Pass City. he was also told, that the man stated he would willingly return to Arizona. and with this idea White went after him.

 Other interesting features included the cost of cooking appartus. s15 per psuper, while the annual cost of cleo. tricity is also s15 per inmate.
 The local government Board, of which John Burns Is the head, seems determined to sift this matter down and prevent such extravaganza, and there Is a growing agitation to abol- ish the boards of poor law guardians and turn over the control of work houses to the borough authorities.

Late and Early Easters.

The earliest date on which Easter can fall is March 22. The moon must then be full on March 2I. and that date must be Saturday. Such a con- bination of circumstances is extremely rare. Easter Sunday has fallen as early as March 9 in 1893, in 1761 and in 1917, and 1t will fall on March 22 again in 1890, 2076 and 2144. The lat est date on which Easter can fall is April 9. That happened in 1666, in 1T34 and in 1886. It will happen again in 1943.

PECULIAR FIRE BREAKS OUT
 IN LOWELL
Lee Home Is Destroyed After Several Shots Are Heard Woman Has Disappeared Officers Work On Case.

Shortly after fire broke out in the home of Mrs. Hattie Lee. at Lowell. yesterday morning. spectators and ire fighters were startled by a series Of explosions, the yoiGme of which plainly indicated that they were caus. ed by the combustion of bullets. The house was completely destroyed 5y fire. and the owner has not been seen since.
 About o'clock yesterday morning neighbors heard shots in the Lee home, and on going out to investigate saw the woman rush from the house and start towards Bisbee, while the dwelling was enyeloped in flames. An alarm was sounded, but the flimsy na- ture of the structure and it's dryness afforded easy prey for the fire, and if was consumed within a few minutes. All during the time the house was blazing a series of bullet explosions were heard Just how many there were it was impossible to determine, but it was estimated that at least a couple of hundred shots went off,
 What caused the fire, and how to account for the mysterious action of the woman in rushing out of :he house and away from Lowell, are problems which the authorities have not yet been able to solve.
 The Lee house did not bear the best reputation, owing to the fact that there were frequent family disturb ances which became a nuisance to the neighbors, and it was thought for a time that possibly the fire had been started to hide the traces of some crime A search of the ruins brought to light nothing to suggest a murder. The blaze did its work so quickly that 1t was thought at least the skeleton would be left if body had been burn ed.
 Mrs. Lee is the wife of the man who is now under indictment for the murder of C. L. Davis last November. At the time of the killing it was re- ported that Lee had killed Davis be- cause the latter had alienated his wife's affections.
 Up to late hour last night the of ficers had got no trace of Mrs. Lee.
