to burn twostory business building
IN this village was frustrated early
yesterday morning when man occu-
pylng a tenement on the second floor
discovered 4 lively blaze III the office
OF Or. +. NJ. Crane adjoining his own
quarters. G. Il. Hines was the man
who discovered the fire. He had mov-
ed into the building the day previous.
The fire was discovered at 3.45
0 clock. Entrance had been effected
IN DR.. Crane S office. On the floor of
the office there was a bottle which
apparently had contained Kerosene and
box, which probably had been soak
ed in oil, was burning when Mr.. Hines
entered. He succeeded in putting out
the fire before great loss had been
done. There also was kerosene on the
floor of the Office.
1t is said that policeman passed
the building at $50 clock and he
saw nothing wrong about the building.
DR.. Crane is attending the Pythian
convention in Burligton. There is no
clue as to the perpetrator of the deed
and no reason is know for the attempt
to burn the building. The first floor
of the structure is occupied as a store
and the second floor by Dr. Crane g
Office and by Mr.. Hines and John
Eastman as tenants.

Which Had Been in Circulation.

PARIS, August Gen. Porfiro
Diaz, former president Of Mexico. au
thorized today the publication of a
statement that he had no intention
of going to Japan. 1t had been gen
orally reported that he intended to
proceed to that country to meet his
nephew, Gen. Felix Diaz, and it was
further stated that he would accom-
pany the latter on his return to Mex

INDIGNANT
OVER LIND'S VISIT
Agent of President Will

Favor.

MEXICO CITY, August I'm
creased antagonism has been aroused
among Mcyicans toward President Viii
son + plan for the pacification of the
republic by the latest news from
Washington that the object of John
Lind Il visit here as the personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson is to
consult with prominent Mexieans and
advise them that the only basis on
which Mexico viii be recognized bv
the United States is the elimination of
president Huerta. Earlier reports to
the effect that Mr.. Lind purposed to
deal with Huerta, perhaps by making
the direct suggestion that he resigen.
were received with Indignation by
Mexican officials, and the new angle
OF ms visit makes it not improbable
that he will be treated with even less
consideration than otherwise would
have been accorded him
1t was pointed out by a prominent
Mexican yesterday that in the former
case the government might not con
slder itself Obliged to act until the
suggestion was actually put forward bv
MI Lind, but that in the second case
the government would be justified in
characterizing him as one who was in
citing Mexicans along lines of sedi-
tion and in applying the pernicions
foreign expulsion clause of the con
stitution. This Mexican also indicatel
that since Mr.. Lind was going to Mex
lco IN an unofficial capacity and with
no credentials, he could not expect
more than an ordinary foreigner would
receive
Mexicans familiar with interna-
IlohaI law are reluctant to believe that
Mr. Lind 5 Instructions are for him to
deal with others than the authorized
ohcials OF the defacto government
These officials are still firm in their
assertion that no suggestions whatev
ef involving mediation or the resigna
ton OF Huerta Will be acceptable and
say that the best that Mr.. Lind can
nope Tor IN this respect Is to he 10
hored. However, the anti Hucrta ele
ment which is not prominently III evi.
