SEXES GUNS IN TEXAS.
Mexican's Consul's Agent Declares
Them Contraband of War.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. March 22.-
Seizure of twelve rifles and 5000 rounds
of ammunition by a private detective em-
ployed by the Mexican consul in San
Antonio threatens complications. Wires
have been occupied between here and
Washington over the matter.
The Mexican consul admits that he
has the munitions in his custody and de-
clares he will not surrender them with
out legal process. There appears to be
a disposition among representatives of
the United States to regard the incident
as an unwarranted usurpation of police
power. At the same time the insurrecto
junta is pressing for redress civilly, while
the United States district attorney de-
clares that no federal statute has been
violated.
Abram Alvarez Ojedo, William Wild
man and LeonideZ Rios of San Antonio
Monday night bought tickets to Sander
son, Tex near the Mexican border, and
carried aboard the Southern Pacific train
as hand baggage the twelve rifles rolled
in their blankets and the cartridges
stored in a suit case. Other passengers
were stumbling over the impedimenta,
and the station MASTER started to lift 1t
out of the way The suit case was lit
orally as heavy as lead and immediately
aroused his suspicious. which he COM
municated to John ID. WOrmack, the Mex
lean consul's private detective engaged
here to watch for insurrecto munitions OF
war.
Wormack and a Mexican who acted as
interpreter took possession of the muni-
tions of war.
The station master, john McDevitt, said
he considered he was within his rights
in demanding that the ammunition be not
TRANSPORTED on a passenger train. Counsel
for the men declare there is no such pro-
hibition in the Texas law.
il is said that Ojeda is a peddler and
that he and his comrades were taking
the guns and ammunition down to the
border to sell.

Belongs to the Country.

He has taught us by his life that
no community has entire claim upon q
national public servant, and his sue
cess in administering the affairs of the
District of Columbia awakens our
pride as it evokes your gratitude. No
praise you can bestow upon him for ef-
ficient labor in your behalf but arouses
in his fellow citizens of New Hamp-
shire feelings of interest and apprecia-
ton.
His work for the District of Column
bia is a service that commands but
little publicity beyond the confines of
the capital, but it Is as typical of his
willingness to serve where he can the
interest of a common country This
is true patriotism, which all too often
is honored only when the patriot is
beyond the knowledge of the recog-
milton of his devotion. 1t is all the
more worthy of you that you have
taken occasion to express contempOr-
aneous gratitude to faithful public

PROGRESS OF THE PLANS
FOR GALu|NGER DINNER
Arrangements for Function to
Honor New Hampshire
Senator Almost Complete.

The details OF the arrangements for the
Gallinger dinner next week are now
nearly complete. though applications for
tickets are still being made. Old friends
of Senator Gallinger in New Hampshire
have indicated their intention of being
present. The committee in charge of ar,
rangements has received several interest
ing letters from friends of Senator Gal
linger.
Naval Officers Tribute.
One came this morning from James o.
Lyford. naval officer, custom house, Bos-
ton, in which he says OF the senator:
His service to the people OF your dis
trict is known to us of New Hampshire
largely through our knowledge of his
service to the state he represents and to
the country of which that state is a part.
My association with him in political life
not recall the time when his own interests
full to others. At the bedside Of the sick,
in contact with his fellow-men, in concern
for the welfare of the city and state of
his adoption, in larger work as a national
legislator his life has ever been one Of
labor and self-sacrifice.
IF he has builded for himself fame,
it has been along the line of love of
mankind and contribution to their ad-
vancement. Fortune has smiled upon
him only as he has won her approba-
ton by his untiring industry. He has
grown with and beyond his environ
ment New Hampshire has shown her
appreciation of his devotion and serv-
ice by reflections to the Senate ex-
ceeding In number any given to her
favorite sons, and her people, therefore,
rejoice at this testimonial of the citi-
zens of Washington to Senator Gal
linger.

Five Families at keniIWorth
Rendered Homeless.
FIRE SPREADS RAPIDLY
Occupants Barely Have Time to
Make Their Escape.
FIREMEN ARE KEPT ON JUMP
Flying Embers Land on Dwellings.
Loss Is More Than
$4,000.

Five occupied dwellings, and two
vacant houses in Kenilworth avenue
Kenilworth, were destroyed by fire
| about $3.50 o'clock this morning and
several other houses were damaged
Five families were rendered homeless
and it was necessary for neighbors to
care for them until they could find
homes today.
There is no water service in Kenil-
worth. and had it not been for a sup
ply of water obtained from the lily
pond on the premises of w. B. Shaw
the whole suburb might have been de-
stroyed.
The damage to the buildings and
contents is estimated at from $4,000
TO 100000. 1t was impossible today
to determine the exact amount of in
surance carried on the properties. be-
cause of uncertainty about the effec-
tiveness OF some of the insurance poll
cies. Nobody was injured during the
occupants Of some of the houses to
make hasty movements in order to
escape the flames.
Practically all the occupants Of the
burned houses had time to put on their
clothing. although some Of them es-
capped in scant attire, having hurriedly
donned a few articles Of wearing ap-
parel and then devoted the time to the
saving of the contents of their homes.
When the firemen finally succeeded in
I'checking the flames there was nothing
left OF the seven houses except the
brick foundations.

tigation and reported that the loss oc-
casioned by the burning OF buildings
amounted to $17. .405 and to contents s, 200.
Mr.. Gordon told him the smoke in the
rooms Of his children caused them to
cough, and he was awakened by their
coughing and the odor of smoke When
he went to the dining room the fire had
gained 50 much headway that 1t was
Impossible for him to do anything.
Chief Wagner said he kept the chemi-
cal company on scout duty. Residents
Of all sections Of Kenilworth focked to
the hre, many of them leaving their
homes unprotected, and IL was necessary
for the fire department. to keep firenen
on the lookout for additional fires.
Today the victims of the fire who were
rendered homeless sought homes in other
parts Of KeniIworth. Some were fortu-
nate enough to ind vacant houses, while
othNte went To the houses Of friends.

Next the house OF H. p. Soper was at
tackled by the flames. Many Of his ef-
fects were saved. his loss being estimated
at about 500. A. r. Lindsey owned the

The house of l.. D. Hayes and the
stable in rear Of 1t were damaged to the

upon to combat, the strong wind spread

other property.
The Kenilworth clubhouse, more than

Water Taken Long Distance.

Two alarms were sounded for the
fire. and Chief Wagner summoned two
additional companies, making it prac-
tically a three-alarm fire. In order to
get the water from the lily pound to
the scene Of the fire it was necessary
to use more than 1900 feet of hose and
relay of three engines. Two small
streams were obtained, and with then
the firemen did effective work
Shortly after Ezra Gordon, proprietor
of a grocery store, discovered the blaze
in the dining room OF his residence, his
eleyen-year-old son, Harry,v hurried to
the nearest alarm box and sent in a

ingr oceupants Of houses that were ir
danger. Alexander Petrie, son Of a
neig1bOr OF Mr.. Gordon's, heard the
cry and sounded a bugle, awakening
many others.
The fire started. it is believed, from an
oyerheated stove in the dining roHn at
the Gordon house. Mr.. Gordon de fcted
the Odor of smoke and went downstairs
to make an Investigation. So much head
way had been gained by the flames that
it was as much as he could do to get his
wife and five children out of the house
and he did not have time to save nearly
500 he had beneath his pillow. Mrs
Gordon had money in the pocket Of hel
apron, which was hanging to her bed, and
she was unable to save it.
