VIII Not Surrender Diaz.

Special by United Press Wfre.
Washington, Oct. 28:-General
Felix Diaz, refugee on an American
warship in Vera Cruz harbor, will
not be surrendered to the Mexican
authorities. This was made certain
this afternoon when Secretary of
State Bryan, through the state de-
partment, requested Admiral Fletch-
er to find out from Diaz where he
desired to go. He will be taken to
some neutral point on an American
warship, so that he can seek perma-
nent asylum without molestation by
his former close friend, Provisional
President Huerta.
Fears that armed Intervention in
Mexico is well nigh inevitable perme-
ated official Washington. The de-
velopments at Vera Cruz where Diaz,
his two companions and an American
newspaper correspondent had to fee
the city under cover of darkness,
with reports of an increasing anti
American feeling throughout the
Huerta dominated Mexican states,
have admittedly complicated an al
ready serious situation.
Huerta is expected to demand that
at least the Mexicans be turned over
to him. This will not be done. A
long cipher message was received by
Secretary Bryan from Special Envoy
John Lind at Vera Cruz. 1t contents
we're not made public. 1t is said.
however, that it recited in detail aA
the developments of last night and
today. 1t said that piaz, in seeking
refuge in the American consulate,
admitted that his life was in danger.
And it was because it was felt that
even the American consulate would
not prove safe asylum that he was
spirited to the harbor and on board
the Wheeling.
The contents of the Lind report
and another one which has been ask
ed for from Charge de Affaires
O'Shaughnessy in Mexico City will
be submitted to President Wilson
when he returns here late tonight.
Meanwhile no further action will be
taken by either the secretary OF
state or the navy department.

BURIED UNDER
LUMBER PILE
Michael Leschsk, a Laborsr
Met Instant Death While
at Work in Roosevelt
TIGATI0N AF00T

Buried under many tons of tim
Der when part of new building coll
lapsed, Michael Leschek, nineteen
years old, of Beverly street, Roose-
velt,. was killed almost instantly
shortly before noon today at the
Consumers Chemical Company's new
plant in Roosevelt. He was employ
ed as laborer by Ira r. Grouse, a
contractor of this city, and happen
ed to be the only person within range
of the falling timber. His skull
was fractured and he sustained other
injuries about the body. Coroner
James J. Flynn viewed the body af-
ter it had been extricated by several
workmen. A foreman on the job de-
clared the death was due to an un-
avoidable accident. Mr.. Flynn is
making a detailed investigation in
an effort to learn if any person was
to blame.
1t was afterwards declared fortu-
nate that several men did not meet
death in similar way, as at inter
vals during the day groups of work
men had been under the structure
that fell. No definite cause has been
advanced to the coroner for the ac-
cident, although it was stated to him
that the heavy wind probably caused
the timber to fall. The timber in
question was 12x16 inch pine and
consisted of props and cross pieces
under a roof of the factory, accord
ing to the findings of Coroner Flynn.
DR.. Jacoby was called Immediately
after the accident, but his services
were not required because of the al
most instant death. Almost half an
hour elapsed before fellow workmen
could extricate the body of Leschek
The victim was unmarried and
lived with his father.

Awning Was On Fire.

The awning in front of the store
of Christian Won Spreckelsen at 146
Smith street caught fire this morn
ing, and would probably have been
entirely demolished but for the dis
covery of the flames by Louis Kar-
kus, clerk in the Office of Leo Gold
berger, whose offices are just above
the store. Mr.. Won Spreckelsen was
notified, and a bucket of water ex-
tinguished the blaze, only a small
hole being burnt in the awning, A
cigarette or cigar butt or match
dropped from window is given as
the cause of the fire.

FIRE LADDIES
HAVE BATTLE
After Fire on Johnstons
Street Is Out Firemen En-
gage In Horse Play
DAMAGE Is SLIGHT

At the second fre~which occurred
this morning within three hours,
members Of the Eagle Hose and
Chemical Company and the Lincoln
Engine Company had battle royal
with streams of water. Notwith-
standing the gossameres of the fire.
men, several were well drenched in
the scrimmage. The fight with the
water guns occurred as the almost
extinguished flames were shoulder
ing, following the burning of a shed
owned by John Catelli & Company,
bottlers at 400 Johnstone street.
The damage, covered by insurance,
is estimated at $3.50. The fire alarm
was given from box 81 at Neville
and Johnstone streets about IL o.
clock this morning. The first fire
shortly after o'clock, caused a
damage of about $50 in a Hall
avenue barber shop.
The Eagle company had two lines
of hose playing on the back of the
shed, which Is in the rear of 400
Jchnstone street, where the bottling
of beer is done in the cellar. The
Lincoln Company had a couple of
lines playing on the front of the
shed. During the height of the
fire, when the straw in the shed
caught a big blaze, the firemen
thought nothing of their personal
disagreements. But when the boards
of the shed began to smoke, the
flames had been practically exiting
uished and the water was only being
put on to make sure all the sparks
were out, the Lincoln and Eagle
men, who disagreed over a hose
plug at a fire Saturday night, recog-
nized each other. Each side thought
it was a good chance to "get even" /"
and through the holes made by the
fire in the sides of the shed the COM
bat of water began. Some of the
firemen secreted themselves from at
tack behind a terra Gotta shed along
side the burned structure, and only
the nozzles of the hose could be
seen like gun barrels cleaning from
a barracks. The water battle con-
tinued until Chief William P. o.
Hara, finding it was needed no long
er, had it turned off.
No one was in the shed when the
fire originated, and it is thought
that some children must have been
playing with matches in the straw
inside the shed, which was used for
packing. Several hundred empty
bottles were stored in the structure,
many of which were broken. The
stable adjoining the shed was saved,
1t being constructed of terra Gotta.
Henry Hospodor turned in the
alarm.

Small Blaze in Hall Avenue.

A small fire in three story frame
building at 169 Hall avenue was
checked shortly after 8 o'clock this
morning before it could gain much
headway. The blaze was caused by
the igniting of tank of kerosene
which fed a small cooker in the
rear of Kortant Wendolkowski's S
barber shop. The damage is esti-
mated at $50, covered by insurance.
The proprietor of the barber shop
was heating coffee on the miniature
stove, when he turned one of the
burners too high and the flame was
conveyed to the kerosene tank just
below. Immediately the cooker was
surrounded by flames, which began
eating the sides of the walls. and
burned a rubber coat nearby. The
fire alarm was given from box sc
at Hall avenue and Charles street,
by John Obertz, of 649 West Side
avenue, who was passing by. The
firemen arrived and extinguished the
flames before they could do any
great damage.

The Extended Holiday Plan.

President Wilson now has before him
the petition of the business men Of
Washington that the government clerks
be granted an additional holiday on the
9Th of July, conforming with the plan
of the local merchants to give their
own employees an extended leave at the
Independence day season. BY cutting off
the half day OF Saturday July 8. the gov
eminent will grant to the department
workers three-day period Of rest, COM
ing at a time when release from labor is
most valuable as a recreative rest from
arduous labor. To bring the clerks back
to their duties on Saturday morning after
the Fourth for a half day will advan-
tage the government little. The mer-
chants Of Washington are practically a
unit in their agreement to close their
places of business throughout Saturday,
giving all Washington a three-day holt
day, provided the government pursues the
same plan. The suggestion and initiative
having come from the business men. it
is to be hoped that the President will
recognize the justice and wisdom of this
proposal and give orders to close the de-
partments absolutely from 400 Thursday
afternoon until o o'clock Monday morn
ing.

Effectiveness of a Pistol Law

Some objection has been made to the
enactment of law prohibiting the sale
Of pistols in the District of Columbia
save on the presentation of a license to
buy granted by some public authority on
the ground that this statute would not
prevent personal armament for criminal
purposes by purchases from outside of the
District of Columbia. II is pointed out
that even under such a law a man de-
string to arm himself without going
through the formality of securing a per-
NIT could order by mail and have the
weapon delivered by parcel post. OF
course, this could be done and 1t would
be a disadvantage to the District, and in
part a notification OF the protective
statute But this possibility should not
deter Congress from going as far as pos
sible to make life in the District safe by
lessening the chance to buy deadly
weapons.
AS far as Interstate trafic is concerned,
the same act of Congress prohibiting the
sale OF deadly weapons In the District
save upon the presentation of a permit
to buy should carry the prohibition Of
sales and deliveries by mail or express
within the District of such weapons save
TO dealers under a severe penalty. Pts
tolls are manufactured by a comparatively
few firms and there would be no diff

Whatever our prejudices for or against
the hotel clerk, we can never be indiffer-

in modern life to be ignored or treated

we are not polite to him when he comes

A Baby and q Snake.

The narrow chance between life and
death is shown by some remarkable in
stances. Perhaps the most interesting of
these recently recorded is that reported
from Bellevue, Fla, where two-year-old
child found large rattlesnake III the
yard of its fathers house and picked it
up for a plaything. The youngster tod
died into the presence Of its father
Growing with delight over the novelty Of
q pet that made a noise with its tail. and
the Mortified parent fortunately was able
to seize and kill it before the reptile had
managed to strike the boy. The singular
phase Of this case was that the child was
able to pick up the snake before 1t had
chance to strike. When held in the
hand by firm grasp near the head a
snake is practically helpless. Had the
child been in the least degree afraid
1t would probably have been bitten, but
having no fear, the writings Of the rep
