FIRE IN, FIRST NATIONAL
BANK AT LAS CRUCES

Las Cruces, N. NJ, Aug. 5.-Fire
broke out in the First National bank
building here on Wednesday night,
and if it had not been for the fact
that Gus Manasse occupies rooms on
the second floor Of the building 1t Is
probable that the beautiful new build

The fire started in the private office
of DR.. Sol Laub and when discovered
it was burning up the walls. Mr..
Manasse secured fire extinguisher
and succeeded in preventing the fire
from spreading to other parts Of the
building until the fire department ar
rived. The department responded
promptly and, although It has only a
chemical engine, the firemen succeed.
ed in putting out the fire before It
could spread. DR.. Laub Is unable to

Washington, Aug. 5.-The mother
of Robert Rechy, one Of the four boys
from Ell Paso, arrested in Mexico be.
cause they crossed the Rio Grande
with target gun, has appealed to
the state department for assistance
in securing his release. Because OF
the recent border troubles it is appre'
ciated that the Mexicans are natural.
ly suspicious Of persons crossing the
border with guns, which probably
formed justification for the arrest OF
the boys. If the case is an ordinary
one without evidence of any evil in
tent, it is expected the trouble can
be easily adjusted.

Republican National Committee Dis
cusses AdvsabiIity Of chartering
a Special Train For Him.

Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 5.-Follow-
ing out his policy of consulting with
Republican leaders of former cam.
paigns whenever the opportunity of.
fers itself, Chairman Frank H. Hitch
cock arrived here at p. m. yester.
day for a conference with Vice Presi.
dent Fairbanks. He spent an hour at
Mr.. Fairbanks home and then started
for Detroit.
AT the railroad station here Mr..
Hitchcock was met by George Lock
wood, secretary to the vice-president
Secretary of State Fred NJ. Sims, who
is acting chairman of the state com.
mittee; Vice-Chairman George Din
widdie and Secretary Carl Riddick of
the state committee. He was escorted
in huge automobile to the home of
Mr.. Fairbanks, where he found the
vice president awaiting him.
There were many subjects consid.
cred between Mr.. Hitchcock and Mr.
Fairbanks, but the chief question dis.
cussed was the tour of the country
which the vice president is to make
under the auspices OF the national
committee. 1t is expected that the vice
presidents tour will cover practically
all the country and will be made
especially in the territory where he
made addresses during the campaign
four years ago.
Directors of the speaking bureau of
the national committee have in con
temptation the question of sending a
number Of prominent speakers with
Mr.. Fairbanks and giving them a
special train or car for an extended
tour 1t has not been determined to
adopt this suggestion, but the ques
ton will be taken up by Mr.. Hitchcock
as soon as he reaches New York.
If made, the trip will begin soon
after October first and will occupy at
least two weeks or more.
