Insurrecto Lawyer
Said to Have Induced
Reyes to Join Cause

II was rumored here today that Sher-
bourne Hopkins, legal representative OF
the Mexican revolutionist junta in
washington, had sailed last week for
Tcurope TO confer with Gen. Bernardo
REYES, who is reported to have been
offered a command in the Mexican fed
eral army The report contained the
additional note Of interest that as a
result Of the rumored conference be-
tween the Washington attorney and
General Reves, the later would refuse
any offers from President Diaz. and
instead would return TO Mexico to take
command Of the revolutionist army.
Mr.. Hopkins son. who is a member
Of his fathers law firm, Hopkins &
Hopkins, denied the reported visit OF
his father to Europe. He said his
father Is now in Guatemala City. Guate-
rnsIa, on private business.
Speaking of the probability OF General
Reyes Joining the revolutionists, DR..
Gomez, head Of the revolutionist agents
here. said:
Reyes always has been rather in
aympathy with our cause. He was once
considered a strong candidate for the
Sice presidency by the anti-re-election-
lists. It was his anti-Diaz sentiments
that caused him to be sent out OF the
country on a mission which ell Mexico
knew was trumped up for the occasion.
He is a man immensely popular with
the people, and II he returns to Mexico
we believe II will not be as an official
Of DiaZ, but as another revolutlonist"

Philadelphia Fire
Inspectors Making
Rigid Examination

PHILADELPHIA. March 27.-Aroused
by the appalling loss of life in New
Tork's factory fire, the newly-elected
board Of fire-escape inspectors, in charge
of Fire Marshal John Lattimer, will
next week begin a rigid examination of
all fire escapes in this city. Heavy fines
will be imposed on all property owners
whose fire escapes are not found in first
class condition.
The principal safeguard in this city
from a fire horror such as befell New
York on Saturday, local fire officials
point out, is the tower escape required
by law on all buildings of three stories
or over. except those used as dwellings
All succh buildings erected since 1905
have been provided with these tower
escapes. Older buildings are equipped
with iron outside escapes.
The New York fire was a terrible
thing" said Fire Inspector Baxter to-
day, and the man responsible should
be punished. While ] do not critiCise
New York, 1 do believe that there
should be a more comprehensive and
more stringent set of regulations en-
forced. 1 recommend the tower fire.
escape as the best exit in case Of emer-
genCy."

WRITER THUG VICTIM

nounced by attending physicians today
that they have no hope for the recovery
of Maurice Brown Kirby, formerly OF

the head with what the physicians think
was a blackjack, until his skull was
badly fractured. his ankle fractured
and his clothes torn to ribbons. Ae he
was relieved of all the money and valu-
ables he was known to have had, II is
certain that robbery was the motive
for the attack. and that had it not been
for kirby's stiff fight he would not have
been so badly injured. AS the victim
has never regained consciousness, his
story of the attack has not been learn
ed.
Kirby Is well known in New York,
having wnitten a number of plays.
among which was the Gay Hussars,
in which Donald Brian was featured.
