FIRE ALARM PRACTICE

Congress Heights Citizens Want Box
Installed in Building for

Residents OF Congress Heights are de-
sirous that the public school children in

alarm, and as a result. Secretary Warren
Wright. OF the Public Improvement As
ISOLATION. addressed a letter to the board
OF education yesterday asking that one
Of the boxes be placed in the local school

Edward Blaine. chairman Of the raIl-
road committee of the Public Improve
ment Association OF Congress Heights.
has presented to that body a question
that will be discussed at the next meet
ing Of the association. Mr.. Blaine be-
lieves that when a passenger boards
street car and the car is delayed from
reaching its destination because OF a
breakdown on the line. that the fare paid
by the passenger should be refunded.
He states that recently several serious
breakdowns have occurred. necessitating
passengers leaving the cars and boarding
others. but that the fares paid on the
first car were not returned He holds
that when a passenger boards a street
car TO go to a certain point. that the car
company should carry the passenger to
that point or refund his fare.

SPAIN DEPLoRES 0UTRAGES
COMMITTED BY GEN. VILLA

New York. April I2-In a cablegram in
response to an inquiry regarding the ct
titude of the Spanish government toward
the situation in Mexico, Senior Dato. the
Spanish prime minister. says:
Spain deplores the outrages commit
ted against peaceful Spaniards. torn
against every law Of humanity from
Chihuahua and Torreon and deprived of
all their property.
THE Spanish government relies on the
good and kindly offices which II has re-
quested from the government Of the
United States. which is the only country
that can procure remedy for these
evils and prevent a repetition of vio-
lence.'
The vigorous terms OF the Spanish
Premier's statement will. it is beiiC, c,l.
awaken the public generally TO the
seriousness Of the issue which confrunts
the United States. II is conceded tha;
Spain. is she chooses to press the mat
ter TO its logical conclusion, can force
the United States into a most unCCm-
Portable position.
The impotence OF Spain TO deal with
Villa and Carranza is confessed by the
premier. Events thus far, however. have
indicated that the United States is quite
as impotent as Spain in dealing with
the rebel CnicitdlnS. The state Depart
ment's representations have availed alb
solutely nothing thus far Villa having
ignored the protest Of Washington
against the deportation orders. and Car
rama having refused to interfere. Mr..
Bryan is endeavOring to continue his rep
and meanwhile the deporta-
tions are continuing. followed by the con-
fiscation of the Spaniards' properties.
Great Britain forebore to press the
United States to action in the Benton
case, and that matter stands precisely
where it stood the day Benton's death
was discovered, so far as anything the
United States government has done is
concerned. 1t is thought quite probable
that Spain also will refrain from en-
barrassing the United States by pressing
for other action than words from WASH
ington. But in any event. the number
Of nations having specific cause for COM
plaint against the United States for its
policy OF nactiOn in Mexico Is now in
creased 10 two.

that witnesses whose testimony was i'm

testimony of Dresner. the strongest wit
