MANIACS CAUSE 900 FIRES
Committee on Safety Says Sos
and Argues for Segregation.

The Committee on Safety OF the City Of
New York is working energetically TO Sc
cure the passage OF the Whitney appro-
priaton bill, now pending before the Leg
islature, which will provide sufficient
money for the completion and maintenance
OF Letchworth Village. a home colony for
feeble minded and epileptics. II is among
this class Of persons. according TO the
records gathered by the committee, that
the pyromaniacs are found by the thou
sand.
The committee cites the fact that eleven
fires In one apartment house in West 134th
street inside OF five days was the record
for last week More than twenty fires oc-
Cured In other buildings during the same
period all Of which were attributed to
pyromanacs.
The committee has been conducting an
investigation of incendiary fires, and says
II has secured conclusive evidence that out
of the fourteen thousand fires in Manhat-
tan during the last year more than nine
hundred were the work of pyromaniacs.
and that court records show that only
three out of every one hundred OF these
persons were arrested.
The committee states that even when
these detectives are arrested they are
usually set free again after serving a lisht
prison sentence. II the Whitney bill is
passed Letchworth Village, near Hayer-
straw. will be- completed. providing ac-
commodations for $500 cs these detectives.
At present the institution can care for only
one hundred. II is estimated that there
are more than eighteen thousand such
persons in this state, who are not in any
institution many OF whom are a menace
70 The community in which they live.
The committee believes that the present
method of treating the pyromanlacs IS
fundamentally wrong, and that such per-
sons should be segregated and afforded
outdoor life and labor. -.

FL Paso Tex. March l7.-It developed
to-day that the story that General Pancho
villa had been captured and ordered shot
was a canard. carefully planned and exc
cuted by the insurrectionists. The story
came in a telegram signed "Pascual Oroz-
co" and addressed to Colonel Ponce Jefe
de Arms, at Juarez.
The latter gave the message to a news
paper man at Chihuahua, with the assur-
ance that II was authentic. To-day Generai
Orozco disclamed knowledge of the tele-
gram, and Mexicans who left Chihuahua at
10 o'clock last night, arriving here To-Day
said there was no foundation for the story
1t is said TO be the most elaborately
planned OF many false reports which have
been put out with a view to giving an I'M
preston Of rebel successes.
Torreon. March 17-Federal General
Blanduet, with an army OF several hum
dred men, has been ordered TO abandon

turn to Mexico City to strengthen the de-
fences there. according to a report cur
rent here to-day. General Banquet left
here on Friday TO open the line of the
National Railways after rebel depreda-
tions He found the task so easy that he
determined to proceed to Zacatecas, where
conditions are much disturbed The order
for his return to the capital leaves the
field to the rebels south of here.
General Gonzales Salas, in charge Of all
the forces here. has offered amnesty to all
rebels who surrender voluntarily within
the next eight days.
Strong detachments Of federals have been
sent north in the direction Of Jiminez II
is believed that decisive clash will take
place near that point.
Mexico City, March 17.-Reports from the

cate that the comparative peace estab-

fact that Clarence Darrow was at thai

Of police.
The strikers finding their efforts to
obtain possession of Parliament
Square, unavailing, started Wrecking
windows and street lamps and destroy
ing goods displayed in the shop win
dows. Then they began stoning the
police, who drove them off repeatedly
charging with their clubs.
Two Strikers Killed.
The most serious encounter occurred
in Outer Wigner street, where the
strikers took possession of big build
ing, from which they fired at the po-
lice with revolvers. After several OF
the policemen had been hit with bull
lets, the officer in charge ordered the
men to return the fire. Several vol
| leys were fired into the crowd, and
| two of the strikers were killed and a
dozen wounded. The strikers in the
building unable to withstand the sharp
! reply of the police, dashed out of the
doors and fled in oil directions.
City Under Martial Law.
Budapest, May 23-Another hot re
volver fight between the police and the
strikers occurred near the parliament
house this afternoon. There were sew
eral fatalities among the strikers. One

much business property and set fire tc
several street cars. Most of the stores
have been closed and troops are sta
toned in the principal streets.
