TWO CANNON SHOTS FIRST
 NOISE OF BATTLE AT 1O:15

Mexico City. Feb. 1s.-(Censored. Two cannon shots at 10:15 a. m., today, made the first noise of battle that sounded in the city, today. It could not be learned which side had fired the shots.
 It was thought that today's battle was on when this noise broke the per- feet silence that has existed through the early hours but everything be- came quiet immediately. It is thought the battle may start at any moment.
 The guns on both sides of the bat tie zone were silent long after dawn. No reason was given for the quiet, although it was declared at the na- tionaI palace that no armistice was in kefect.
 The two armies were occupying practically the same positions except that the federals, who had pushed their guns forward toward the arsen- al, late yesterday, had withdrawn them to a less exposed position. A statement issued at the national palace said that the Madero troops
 had had taksn the Y aia M C5aA; "A; building it in yesterday afternoons engage

SAY HUGHES
 NOT INSANE. Former Mayor Lee and Dr. Martin Testify
 Before Jury Father Mclean Explains Hoy Money Bequeathed for
 Masses Is Used

Father Peter H. McClean of Milford went on the stand in the superior court this morning to testify in Michael Hughes appeal from probate Father Mclean was called as a wit ness for the beneiciaries under the will of the late Matthew Hughes.
 The priest was asked to give certain information regarding the way money left for masses was used. There ap- peared to be impression in certain quarters that the priests gained some personal advantage when people be- Queathed money to have masses said Father NlcCIean explained that the clergymen were allowed $1 for each mass and the entire number of masses had to be said within 30 days. If 500 were left for this pprpose it would be manffestly impossible to say that number of masses within 30 days, because only one could be said each day. It is the custom under such other clergymen. The amount which Matthew Hughes left to St. Patrick's church for masses was $200.
 A number of witnesses were called to disprove the charge that Matthew Hughes was not mentally sound, as claimed by Michael Hughes and others who are trying to break the will. Dr. Thomas F. Martin, who was the testa- tors physician, said he had known Matthew Hughes for a great many years and never saw anything to in
  ly sane.
 Willard S. Plumb, an official in the City Savings bank, had done business with Hughes. The witness said he did not notice any signs of eccentric conduct. on the part of Hughes.
 Former Mayor Henry Lee, who now lives at SIP Colorado avenue, testified that he had known Hughes for a great many years. He talked with him frequently and never saw any thing out of the ordinary in Hughes speech or manner. He did not see any evidence of failing mentality.
 Charles J. Byrnes, Richard Lombard and former Director of Public Works John H. Colgan had known Hughes during his lifetime. They said they didn't observe any change in his men tai condition nor any difference in his walk as a result of a, paraIytic Stroke. Miss Sullivan who lived in the same house with Matthew Hughes, said she thought he was perfectly sane. She had not noticed that Hughes had lost the use of one arm In fact she had seen him carrying coal and lifting a heavy cellar door as if he had at least normal strength.
 The trial was still at press hour.

AGED RECLUSE BURNED TO DEATH Incinerated Body Is Found in Home by
 Salesman CIaTissa LIndIey Probably Met Death Early Sunday
 Morning

Clarissa Lindley, almost 80 years old, recluse- in the home of her an- cestors at 4016 Main street, near OK ford Hill, was burned to death prob ably on Sunday morning in the base ment of her home. Her body was not discovered until this afternoon when William VanWagener, a driver for the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co.,, saw her charred remains lying in a rear room.
 It is believed that death resulted from her clothing becoming ignited during a breakfast she was preparing and that as the flames enve1oped her she fought them franttcally from room to room. Weakened from i'm hal1ng smoke and flame she fell ex- hausted into a rocking chair, which was also partly consumed with the body.
 Mute evidence of her vain struggle against the consuming fire remain in the form of burned chairs and paper table cloths in both. kit chen and the adjoining living room A close scrut- iny of the apartm ents, which were se- curely locked from the inside, by the police and Medical >Examlner 5. M- Gar1ick, convince them that death re- suited from no outside sources
 The victim is of a. very old family: Their fortune has gradually dw1ndled abide in the small two story dwelling where she was found. There are be- Iieved to be but two living relatives, cousins one of the same name, living some half mile above the other named Emerson residing in Apsonia and who of latter years IS said to have con- tributed to her support.
 Van Wagner, who delivers groceries, called yesterday and received no re- sponse to his knocks. This morning, he again attempted to attract her att tention at the front door.
 Failing in his efforts he walked to the side of the house, and peering through the basement window he saw 8 chair partly consumed and a large hole burned in the floor Walking to the last window he was startled to see the body of a woman partly rec1in- ing against the furnace of the house.
 Dr. S. M Garlick, visited the scene in person and later established com munication with the wouants cousin near the TrunbuH line who ordered the remains removed to the under taking parlor of Henry Bishop. where burial has been given
