300 Killed in
Mexico Theater

Mexico City, Feb. 16.-Between s6o
and 800 people were burned to death
and many were injured in fire which
destIoed the Flores theater in the citv
OF Acapulco Sunday night. The Flores
theater was wooden structure and
more than 1000 people crowded into il
to witness special performance given
in honor Of Governor Damien Flores Of
Guerrero. One of the numbers on the
program consisted of series of NOV
ing pictures. While the operator was
exhibiting these film caught fire and
a blaze was quickly communicated to
some bunting which had been used for
decor alton.
In an incredibly short time the flames
spread to all barts of the structure.
There were but three narrow exits and
the panic-stricken audience rushed to
them, many persons falling, to be
crushed to death, their bodies choking
the way of escape for others.
The screams of those imprisoned
were terrific. Owing to the rapidity
with which the fire spread and its in
tense heat,it was impossible to attempt
rescue work and those imprisned were
literally roasted to death, as the fire
burned with little smoke and few were
suffocated.
The efforts of the fire department
were confined to attempting to save the
ADJOINING buildings and the tiremen
succeeded SO well that the property loss
was small. The telegraph office, post
ONCE and customs house were damag-
ed, but all of the government records
and registered mail We're saved.
Today pitable scenes of grief were
witnessed on the streets of the city.
Men, women and children wandered
about hunting for relatives or friends.
Many of the dead are from the first
families of the state, the affair at the
theater being a social event of consid-
cradle Importance and calling out the
wealthiest and Oldest families for miles
around. In some instances whole fam
lilies were wiped out The municipal
authorities today caused large trenches
to be dug and into these the bodies
were laid. Identification has been i'm
possible, most of the bodies having
been burned to crisp.
Acapulco, on the west coast of the
state OF Guerrero, is one of three i'm
portant ports of the Pacific coast of
Mexico. Nearly all of the steamer
lines make it port of call and the
aarbor Is accounted the best in Mexico.

a scientific orchardist and one of tb.

Perfection is the ideal toward
which every grower should strive. y
Mr.. Edmunds said, "and after the
fruit has been picked it should be
packed with regard to uniformity, ex-
ercislng every care in placing only the
highest grade in the boxes. This will
make the apple offerings distinctive
and recognizable wherever exhibited
whether for sale or in competition.
II would also urge the use of heav-
Ter boxes and packages. Europe is
ready TO BUY the cream of American
apples and is willing to pay the high

best the orchards afford, I believe a
profitable trade can be built up.

through Louisiana, Mississippi and Ala
bama, President-elect Taft Saturday
had the qualification of being heartily
received by large and enthusiastic
crowds who had not voted for him
Several times he made his appreciation
plain. 1t was clear that not only did
the south seem willing to accept him
as their president, but that his great.
est desire was to be the president of
every man, woman and child in the
nation.
There was one other burden on the
Taft mind today desire to show ut.
ter contempt for what he trmed the
baseless and hurried criticisms of the
work being done on the Panama canal.
Don't Set Rear Fire.
"The Panama canal is going to be
built" he declared, "and what want
you to do and what 1 want every
American citizen to do is to stand by
the men who are building it. Don t
set fire in the rear; don't distrust
the men who are giving up thei,
strength and energy and enterprise to
put that great work through. When
you have agents who are doing your
work you stand behind them. If YOU

some politician who is seeking to make
himself prominent or to give himself the
