FIRE LOSS OF S245, 900
Sulphur Blaze Spreads Over Area Of
Three Blocks In Brooklyn

New York, Nov. 20. -Brooklyns
East river water front was the scene
of the most serious explosion and fire
which that section has known for
years. Fifteen men are suffering
burns and injuries, from which a
number may die.
The area of three blocks was swept
and loss of fully $245, 900 caused,
notwithstanding the Brooklyn firemen
were aided by New York fireboats and
apparatus rushed across the bridges
from Manhattan.
The fire started with a series of ex-
plosions of chemicals on the ground
floor of the five story building of the
Union Sulphur company.
A series of four other explosions
followed in quick order, and the build
ing was soon enveloped in the weird
blue flames of burning sulphur.
The flames swept down large hay
and grain warehouse of the Brooklyn
Eastern District Terminal company.
At times the wall of blaze, which the
wind drove before it, was 200 feet
square.

TROOPS DESTROY
SEVERAL VILLAGES
Captured Mexican Rebels Are
SummariIy Executed

Mexico City, Nov. 28.-Not less
than twenty-five villages have been
destroyed in the state of Oaxaca in
the past two days by the government
troops.
The administration, believing that
the rebels in that region have been
sufficiently cowed by the terrible war
fare which has waged, has now sane
toned orders for the retirement Of
the greater part of the federals from
that state, leaving the final paciflca-
ton to the local troops.
Despite the fact that federals in
ali districts invested by Zapatistas
have been using the right conferred
by the suspension of guarantees to
execute captives summarily, there is
little, If any, change in the general
situation.

panic was caused yesterday after
noon by the cry of fire at moving
picture show here. About fifty chill
dren were killed. Only one woman
has been found among the dead. The
number of injured is not known.
The scene of the accident Is large

continuous cinematograpn show.
The building was crowded 70 it's ut

women and children.
The operator of the machine lost
lis nerve when a film ignited and
screamed "Ffre!" He was able to ex-
tiuguish the flames himself without
difficulty, but the effect of his cry
upon the audience was instantaneous.
The police and attendants were
powerless to control the panic
stricken and were swept away by the
suIging mass which sought to fight a
way to the exit.
Frenzied crowds gathered outside
the building, and the authorities had

work of rescue and extricating the
dead and injured from the piles OF

Bryce Remains as British Ambassador
to United States

Washington, Nov. 26.-The resig-

announced to occur in, the near fu-

The reason advanced is the undesir-
ability of making a change during the
present delicate situation in Europe.
1t is thought, however, that a more
pressing reason is the desire of the
British government to keep Bryce in

A GAIN Fer LkGNEERS
But Arbitrators Say Railroads Cannot
Afford General Increase

Washington, Nov. 25.-An award
that is considered a partial victory for
the 30, 900 locomotive engineers in
their controversy, began last January,
9TH the fifty-two railways operating
IN the territory east Of Chicago and
north of Norfolk and Cincinnati, was
announced here by the board of arbi-
Il ation which investigated the ques-
ton at issue.
1t grants certain increased compen-
sation and improved and uniform
rules of service requested by the en-
gineers, but holds that general in
crease of wages on all roads is not
warranted upon the basis of the evil
dence presented.
The board found that on some roads
and for certain classes of service the
compensation was too small and
therefore introduced into the award
the principle of minimum wage for
the entire district. The award, which
dates back to May 1 last and will
stand for one year, settles the most
important American labor dispute
submitted to arbitration since the an
thracite coal strike in 1902.

Boston, Nov. 25.-In the most SEN

finance commission has ever submit
ted to the mayor and city council,
which will be given out for publica-

and there are strong seasons for be-
l!eving that other stories are true.
The commission broadly intimates
it is convinced that officials of the de-

is difficult to get evidence of such a
thing.
1t is believed the report will cause

In magazine article, THE Public
and the Pistol" VIM. j Burns, the de-
tective of Los Angeles dynamite fame,
has attacked the revolver law OF New
York. Chicago and other big cities for
lettering biding citizens from
arming themselves
"common sense justifies the owning
OF a good pistol by every respectable
householder" says the article in part.
"If IL were possible by the simple pro-
cess OF the law to compel every honest
citizen to own a pistol and know now
to shoot straight with it. and at the
same time to disarm all criminals OF
pistols there would be less work for
detectives to do. Any law which acts
as a deterrent to the buying OF pistols
by law-abiding citizens Is a detriment
to the suppression Of crime. The crook
disdains any law which applies equally
to him and to honest men and finds
any number of underhanded means to
obtain secret weapons.
1.-The records of the homicide files in
my New York office show that of the
homicides reported in the New York
newspapers, occurring In New York
City and elsewhere, about so per cent
are committed with pistols On this
o0 per cent, OnS-nd1l, or 20 per cent OF
the total number of homicides are done
by criminals in connection with rob-
berry; 40 per cent of all the murders
committed with pistols are done by
criminals or men with bad records. OF
the remaining 10 per cent the records
show that per cent are cases of self
defense. So apparently there are but
8 per cent of the homicides committed
with pistols, or actually " per cent of
all the homicides included in these re-
cords for which 1t is possible to attach
any blame to the pistol.
considering the pistols usefulness
In saving life by preventing murder
and in checking burglars. larceny and
other crimes in the homes of law abid-
ing citizens, this 2h per cent is a
pretty small peg on which to hang
anti-pistol laws that deter law biding
from arming themselves.
THE fact of carrying a pistol at the
time of perpetrating any offense that
indicates unfitness to have a pistol OF
at the time of arrest for such an Of
Tense, should multiply the penalty foI
the act committed. A few gun-toting
ruffans sent away for years instead OF
for months for seemingly petty Of
lenses, would do aore to disarm the
upcc-- world Of pistols than to exact a
license fee on these weapons of $50
each"
