M|L|TANTS SET FIRE
TO TIMBER YARDS
S250,000 Loss Results When
Flames Sweep Through
Oxford Plant.
CITY is THREATENED

OXFORD, Eng, Nov. 21.-An incen.
diary fire attributed by the police to
the arson squad of the militant suf-
fragets did enormous damage today.
sweeping an extensive area of timber
yards and threatening for a time 10
destroy the plant supplying the city
with artificial gas. The loss is esti
mated at s250,O00.
The conflagration, which was the
biggest and most disastrous in recent
years here, began at six different
places accompanied by terrific explos
ions. Women were seen in the vicini.
t. just before the flames were discov.
cred and suffrage literature was found
in the vicinity.
Another circumstance which points
to militants as the authors of the fire
is the fact that Chancellor Lloyd
George against whom the suffragets
are bitterly hostile, is scheduled tC
speak here tonight.
Before the fireman reached the
scene great piles of lumber were
ablaze. The flames had reached with
in less than fifty feet of the artificial
gaS works when a sudden shift in the
wind turned the course of the fire
All the fire-fighting force of the
city, aided by volunteers, united tc
prevent the flames from spreading
through the city.

.STAY WITH WORK,
ADVICE OF WEED
Speaker Emphasizes Import
ance of Selecting Line
of Life Work.

Importance of selecting a certain line
of work and staying with it was the
main theme in u short talk by Herbert
S. Weed before the high school stu
dents today at the regular chapel ex
ercises. He emphasized the impor
tance of staying with what one things
is right no matter haw much one is
tempted to do the other thing.
Keeping away from temptation is a
great help in getting adjusted in the
aim of life" he said. Some get SO
interested in things that benefit them
selves that they pay no heed to the
other fellow, but are concerned in
nothing but their own welfare"
He said that he felt a great inter
est in the development of the school
but he was more deeply concerned in
the students making good.
The orchestra rendered several Sc
lections. Principal Pickell announced
the Thanksgiving program for next
week

City Attorney to Advise
Board to Declare Rule
Null
RECEIVES COMPLAINTS
Wharton Says Stand Was
Taken As Guarantee of
Good Faith.

City Attorney Bond today announc-
ed that. in his opinion the recent rule
promulgated by the Richmond Light.
Heat x Power company. requiring
every person not owners OF real estate
TO deposit s. with the company. the
deposit bearing six per cent interest.
before natural gas service could be Sc
cured. is invalid
His reasons for believing such rule
10 be invalid were that ii had never
been approved by the board of public
work, as required in Section OF the
natural gas franchise acquired by the
company last August This section
specifically provides that all Just and
reasonable rules promulgated by the
company shall became operative after
they have been approved by the board
OF public works.
Mr. Bond also stated today that at
the board meeting next Monday he
would advise the board To declare the
deposit rule of the gas company null
and void because il nad never been
sanctioned by the board.
Commission May Decide.
II the board acts favorably on the
city attorneys recommendation. and
the company still persists in requiring
deposits made before natural gas serv-
ice is provided non-real estate holding
patrons. il is very probably the city
government will bring the matter be-
fore the state public utilities commits
sion for a decision.
Probably the Light, Heat G. Power
company would not wait for the city
to take such action, but would carry
the case before the commission itself,
| seeking 10 prove that the rule in ques-
| tion is fair and just and that the board
of public works was unwarranted in
| with -.olding its approval of il.
Whether the city or the company
carries the case before the state uttI-
| tiles commission il is almost certain
the company will continue to enforce
the rule until a final decision has been
rendered by the state commission.
Complaints Pour In.
/ Complaints against the company's
| deposit rule have been pouring in to
me for the last two days" said Mr.
Bond. Il met Manager Wharton of
the Light, Heat and Power company
yesterday and entered a protest
against the rule, but he took position
that the company was justified in es-
! tablishing il, so / now intend to bring
{
! lie works"
| Mr.. Bond said he not only was OF
the opinion that the company has no
| franchise right TO establish such a
rule without the consent OF the board
of public works, but he also believes
the rule to be a most unfair one
| He said IL was true that dishonest
people frequently defrauded the COM
pany of money due for gas. and that
deposits would protect the company
against such class of patrons. but he
also pointed out that II worked a
hardship against Trustworthy people
who could not afford to make such a
deposit.
| Il believe the merchants section OF
| the Commercial club has a rate book
of local residents This would be
available for use by ths~rfght, Heat
and Power company in requiring de-
posits of only such people whose rat
ings were poor" added the city attor-
ney.

Word of No One
Corps Inspects Masonry At
Pumping Station

That the survey of the water works
property may be absolutely accurate
the corps of engineers employed by
the utilities commission to check the
inventory submitted by the company
are inspecting the foundation of the
pumping station to ascertain how
much masonry is in the foundation.
H. A. Garman, chief of the corps,
said they took the word of no one, but
investigated everything for them
selves. They have followed all trans

Meeting.
MANY NOW ACTIVE
Want Reorganization Com

Club women of Richmond are plan
ming to effect reorganization of the
old Federation of Womens Clubs
which passed out of existence four
years ago. The purpose of again es-

some official organization to handle
the convention of the Sixth District
Federation which assemblies in Rich

The movement was launched two
CARNATIONS have not announced their
intentions to affiliate with the general
organization, every indication points
to its success.
The club women of the city have
found it very difficult for any sepa-
rate organization to call the attention
of the other clubs to matters which it
considers of interest to all For in
stance, the Domestic Science associa-
ton is endeavoring to enlist the help
of other organizations in bringing a
visiting nurse to Richmond
''1n order to present the arguments
of the association on the need of such
nurse in Richmond it has been nee
essary for the organization to send a
representative to the meetings of 9TH
er clubs
Were there a general organization
in the city composed of delegates from
each club, the matter could be sub
mtted there, with the assurance that
every organization in the city would
receive an accurate exposition of the
proposition at its next meeting
Those who are enlisted in the move
ment say they expect to organize the
federation before the Christmas holi-
days.

WAR OFFICE HIDES SUCCESSES.
Officials Meet With Poor Success In
Keeping Reserves Covered.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 12.-The war
office is trying by all means possible
to keep the people in ignorance of reb-
ell successes, but it is impossible to
hide the fact that the federals are
meeting with reverses both in the
north and south. Large bands of rebels
are reported in operation at Mazatil
and La Grunidora, also Tulca. Bodies
of rebels who have been operating in
dependently in the state of Michoacan
and State of Zacapecas, are reported
to be marching to join the forces I'M
der Gen. Carranza.
This, it is pointed out, may be part
of the preliminary movement in cam
paign against the capital. Another reb-
el advance on Torreon, is reported,
while private dispatches tell of the
capture of Tampico, an important eX-
port center, by rebels. General Villas s
men are reported to have taken NUM-
ca and Cosihuirichio,
Huerta To Stick.
General Huerta intends to cling to
his position as provisional president of
Mexico. Strengthened in his stand of
defiance toward the United States by
the action of the new congress in en-
dorsing his dissolution of the previous
Chamber of Deputies, he proceeded to-
day with plans for a session of con-
gress that will last far into December.
At the same time Senor Moheno,
minister of foreign affairs, and other
supporters of the government were in
dustriously circulating rumors that the
United States soon would recoznize
Huerta's government Moheno said to
friends who visited him after the first
session of congress had adjourned:
81 have reason to believe that Pres
ident Wilson will soon recognize Gen.
Huertas government"

price soaring at 81 a dozen.
1t was this way according to Rev.
Graham. During the Fall Festival a
dozen eggs weighing one pound. thir-
teen and one half ounces was awarded
a prize. Some one took half OF them

WILSON STANDS PAT
IN REFUSING MEXICO
RECOGNITION CLAIM
Bryan Brands AS False Mo-
henO's Assertion of L. S.
Recognition.
REBELS WIN BATTLES
William Bayard Hale En-
route to Washington Aft
er Conference.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The Uni
ted States will never recognize Cen
eral Huerta nor his government. There
has been no change in the situation
that would warrant the report circu-
lated in Mexico City by Minister of
Foreign Affairs Moheno and sent to a
New York newspaper by it's corTespon-
dent that sudden change in the sit
uation indicated Huerta's recognition.
This was made clear at the state
department today when Secretary Bry-
an said:
The report current in Mexico City
that President Wilson is preparing to
recognize Huerta is absurd President
Wilson's attitude in this matter has
been clearly shown by his announce
ments. Nothing has occurred recently
to alter his decision.
Phases of Situation.
The Mexican situation today had
these leading phases:
The action to be taken by the new
congress regarding concessions.
The expected call upon Admiral
Fletcher to protect British interests at
Tuxpam.
Whether Huerta will eventually re-
sign is a question upon which varying
opinions are held in official circles. AL
though it seems to be the general be
lief that Huerta will not retire for
many weeks, at least despite Presi-
dent Wilson's belief that his power is
decreasing.
Although President Wilson is in
clined to excuse the Constitutionalists
from the charge of wanton brutality
in dealing with federal prisoners it is
not likely he will resume any negotio-
tions with them through William Bay
ard Hale. Hale now is said to be en-
