tents, in Fairfield avenue, near David

upwards of $25.o0G, the imperilIing of
a number of inmates of the houses,

Section.
A strong east wind swept the fire
from house to house and enabers
hfe6Ire hundreds s of feet. dropping e. on IN the
roofs of house after house and setting g
blazes that kept the firemen most Wig
liant to prevent the sparks from
spreading the fire throughout the sec
tion.
The houses destroyed are three two
family houses, standing in close prox-
and running west from Davidson
street The fire began in the garage
to the rear Of the house furthest west
The houses were owned by sven
Swanson and August Soderholm in
partnership. They were occupied as

1000 GIRLS
TO PICKET AT
BOSTON STRIKE

Boston, Feb. 1.-Two thousand girl
pickets will surround the garment fac
tories of Boston at daybreak, Monday,
when 5000 operatives strike at $50 es-
Establishments. Union leaders decIar-
ed today that plans for the fight have
been completed. The pickets, they
declared, have been carefully selected
and all have been doubly precaIti oned
against any violence or viaItions OF
the law.
The employers have so far remained
silent although it was generally un-
derstood today that they were respon-
sible for the orders issued today from
police headquarters for precinct cap
tains in the factory districts to triple
the number of roundsmen in that sec
ton, beginning Monday, all at 4
O'Clock. It was generally believed
that the employers will fight the
strike by hiring strikebreakers.

my country, and rather than have
such charges made against me shall

This decision on his part, it was re-
marked, coincided neatly with the de-
cislon of Secretary Nagel, of the DE
paTtnent of Commerce and Labor.
Castro was under bond in habeaS coR-

Tnained in his apartment, however, in
dicating that he feared mysterious
enemies.
He issued the following statement:

TO COMPLY WITH
SUPREME COURTS
MERGER DECISION

Washing gton, Feb. 1--we are pro-
crossing spIendidly toward an agree
ment-that's all 1 can say was the
staten ent made by Mortimer L. Schiff
the New York fnancier, following a
two hour conference of Union and
Southern Pacific stockholders held
with Attorney General Wickersham,
today, discussing compliance with the
merger decision of the supreme court
and a. form of dissolution.
In addition to Schiff. Judge r. S.
Lovete and T. A. Vanderlip, of the
Union Pacific and Maxwell Evarts
and R. s. DeForest, of the Southern
Pacific. were at the conference.
The -depa rtment of justice made no
announcement of final agreement al
though it was believed the conferees
had adopted a plan.

KING GEORGES
LONG ILLNESS
CAUSING ALARM

London, Feb. king Georges health
is giving his physicians no little con-
Germ. Despite official deniaIs both by
the privat secretary and court offic-
ials, it was believed today that His
Majesty has been suffering from a
troublesome cold ever since his Christ
mas illness when Queen Mary sent
him to bed regardless of the Bucking-
ham Palace holiday festivities. The
most careful Treatment has failed to
eradicate the cold. King George has
a weak constitution, very susceptible
and he suffers from chest weakness.
As prince of Wales he was able to
combat this by sea voyages. He es-
capped last winter by attending the
Delhi Durbar.

tions, county institutions being flood
