OFFICERS BLAMED FOR Ell Mozo
FIRE.

Gross neglect of duty on the part Of
the captain and chief engineer Of the
tug FL Mozo of the Southern Pacific
railway was found by a board OF in
duiry TO be the cause OF the hre on
board the tug, which was lying at the
head of Thayer street, at 100 o'clock
Monday morning. The loss is approx
mateIy $1,000, and the board, which
consisted of Guy Hopkins, personal
representative of President Scott; K.
r. Beasley. superintendent of water
TRANSPORTATION; John Mcclure, super
lintendent of terminals; j. p. Nolan,
master mechanic of the Algiers shops,
and Louis Acker and John A. Barrett,
citizens of Algiers, found that the en-
gineer and captain were guilty of ne
elect of duty. 1t was stated that had
not the Waterman awakened the two
officers as they slept on the boat they
might have been incinerated in the
fire.
The captain of the transfer Carrier"
crossing the river at the time and no.
ticing the blaze, gave the danger sig
nal and summoned the Samson In
the meantime the Carrier" proceeded
down to the fire, soon had two streams
in action and did her share in getting
the fire under control. Soon after the
Samson" arrived and took charge of
the situation. The Carrier" then pro-
.ceeded with her regular work. The
Algiers fire department also assisted
in fighting the flames. Capt. j. Nick
laus was in charge of the tug. The
crew consists of nine men.
The Ell Mozo was built in New Or
leans in 1890 at a cost of $4,000. She
has a steel hull and is of 103 TONS
gross. Her length is 1913 feet over all,
with a 20-foot beam and a depth of 81
feet. She was equipped with engines
of 450-horse power, and was used for
towing purposes in the harbor, princi-
pally in handling train-carrying barges
between the two banks of the river.
The board of inquiry was held at
$50 Monday morning at the Algiers
shops, and statements were taken
from members of the crew and others.
The oil-burning engines also were
The following was the verdict, based
on the ground that the two officers
should have been awake and on watch,
instead Of sleeping in their hunks:
I'VE, the undersigned board of in
quiry, convened at Algiers shop at
$3.50 o'clock to investigate the cause
Of the fire on tug Ell Mozo at 1:30 o.
clock to-day, and have come to the fol-
lowing unanimous conclusion after
hearing the statements of the crew and
examining the oil-burning apparatus
1T is the unanimous opinion of the
board that the fire was caused by the
accumulation of oil in the oil drip-pan
and furnace, which was caused by the
improper adjustment of the oil burner
"Messrs. Barrett and Acker preferr-
ed not 20 take part in the placing of
responsibility, but we, the undersigned,
are of the unanimous opinion that
both the captain and chief engineer
were guilty of gross neglect of duty.

Five years ago when the bridge
across the old mill race at the
Clay City National Bank became
deficient, the owners of this race,
the Kentucky Union Company,
was notified to repair the same.
The company failing to do this,
they were fined $30-$5 per day
for SIX DAYS. When another case
was registered againt them, the
company got a writ of prohibi-
ton. The company agreed with
the town authorities that if this
case was decided IN favor of the
town they would pay for build
ing a new bridge at this point
and the one at the lower crossing
too. With this understanding,
the town built two new bridges.
The case went against the COM
pany and they have paid their
fine to the city, but the pay for
these bridges is not forthcoming.
The writ of prohibition was also
dissolved so the company could
be fined further. The bridge at
the lower crossing is out and the
company is liable for a fine of
IS for each day they have allow
ed it to so remain. Why do the
city authorities not arraign the
company for its failure to keep
up these bridges and collect these
fines? And further why do they
not collect the cost of these
bidges formerly built? The town
needs the money and it is justly
due it.

Ii some of our good people in-
tending to migrate to the Blue
grass regions would take a few
days off and 90 now to that Sec
tiOn and see how short the grass
is; how badly the corn is fired up,
and how distressing every other
thing not here mentioned looks,
then come back to Powell and
see how green our pastures are,
and thrifty our corn looks where
properly cultivated, we believe
they will be better satisfied with
their native heath. The indica-
tlOns to us are that the corn
Weld in Powell this year will
exceed that of either of our neigh
boring Bluegrass counties, while
the whole season through, our
pastures have been the equal of
the pastures of our more favored
neighbors. If our countymen
would look at the many good
things we have, and try to i'm.
prove our roads and farm lands,
aud homes, We could soon have
an enviable county in which to
reside.

their share of just taxation. The
railroads violate the laws of our
land at will, pay tax on about
one-fourth what they should, and
are really never brought to JUS
tice. Why shouldn't they be as
common individuals are? Our
laws as applied to railroads are
also deficient. They provide in
some instances for what they
shall not do, but neglect to i'm
pose a fine for violating these
laws, Our statutes should be re-
vised SO as to impose penalties
for all violations of the law,
whether the offense be commit

your sleeves and help mama cook,
wash dishes, make up beds and
sweep floors. The most pitiable

TREMBLING
FOR SAFETY OF
FOREIGNERS
Hospital Ship SOIaCe Rushed
to Vera Cruz at Prospect

EXPECT BIG CONFLICT
AT MEXICO CITY SOON
Rr The limited Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINTON, Dec. 19.-The safety
of foreigners in and about Mexico
City was seriously troubling the ad-
ministration today With zapata,
Mexicos most bloodthirsty bandit
camped In the suburbs OF the capital
and with the Constitutionalist army
prepared TO advance against Huerta,
the situation was admittedly grave.
Because of the realization that
Kaleidoscope changes may be expect
ed, the government today started the
big hospital ship Solace TO Vera Cruz,
the seaport of the Mexican capital.
Before sailing from the Brooklyn navy
yard, the vessel took aboard emerg-
ency medical supplies.
Despite an effort TO make II appear
that the vessel was despatched in the
ordinary routine OF the department,
Il was learned that she has Deen addeu
to Admiral Fletcher's feet because
Of the precarious situation in Mexico
City. No matter which side wins in
the battle which is certain 10 take
place soon before the Mexican capital,
foreign residents will suffer. The feet
surgeons can do little themselves, but
with the Solace In Vera Cruz harbor
and the transport Sumner at Tampico,
less than a days sail from there, Ad-
miral Fletcher will be able to care
for all foreigners who may be injured
during the battles.
The Mexican situation was discuss
ed by the Cabinet today. Secretary
of State Bryan reported on the nego-
tiations that have been carried on
with General Villa and II is under
stood explained that the situation had
worked out nicely. Protection will
be afforded all foreigners, he said,
and those whose property was seized
will be recompensed by the Constitu-
tional government
The financial depression which has
struck Mexico City is said to have
allenated certain OF Huertas most
stalwart supporters and there was
general feeling that the loyalty OF
most OF his troops was a grave mat
ter OF doubt.
II was decided that there will be
no change whatever In the present
attitude and that the original policy
mapped out by the President and
Secretary of State Bryan will be
rigidly adhered to.
