THINK F|REBUG SET
LUMBER YARD BLAZE

Fire. believed to have been of incen-
diary origin. early today destroyed the
dressed lumber warehouse of Galliher
& Huguely, First and streets south
west, and for a time threatened to wipe
out the entire lumber yard. The loss
is estimated at more than $4,000. fully
covered by insurance.
Members of the firm say they are con-
vinced the warehouse was set on fire.
A searching Investigation is being made
by Fire Marshal Nicholson and police
Of the Fourth precinct.
Starting shortly before 5 o'clock. the
flames had gained considerable head
way before they were first seen, and by
the time the firemen arrived practically
the whole building was in flames. The
nearest lumber piles in the yard are
separated from the warehouse by an
alley. and the blaze soon spread to
them, but the firemen succeeded in
checking the flames before they spread
to the other stacks of lumber. and only
one alarm was sounded.
The warehouse was destroyed and all
the dressed lumber which il contained
was ruined. The fire proved most
stubborn one to completely extinguish,
and 1t was not until nearly noon that
the firemen left the lumber.
To prevent the possibility OF the fire
breaking out again II was necessary Tor
the firemen to take all the lumber off
the partly burned stacks and pile it in
other part of the yard.
The only stove in the lumber yard
was in the office, a short distance from
the warehouse. The office was not
touched by the flames.
Members of the firm said there was no
machinery in the warehouse which
could have started the fire. Fire Mar
shaI Nicholson said the fact that the
roof was covered with snow indicated
that the biaze could not have originated
from sparks falling on 1t. The exact
part of the building where the fire
started could not be definitely ascer-
tained.
No one was seen leaving the lumber
yard or in the vicinity of the warehouse
before the fire was discovered. and a
night watchman, who passed the yard
about an hour before the fire was first
noticed. said he saw no blaze in the
ward at the time.

Life.

The gold old sal is no longer a horny

gollicking boy: he's a dandy with silk
socks. tan pumps. a straw hat, and a
suitcase. according to William J. Hunt,
Of Cleveland, who appeared today be-
lore the House Merchant Marine Com
mittee.
In opposing the LaFollette seamen' 8
bill, he told the committee that the
proponents of the measure had been
spinning yaHls. based on memories OF
thirty-fiye years ago.
"Humph," he snorted, they actually
have ladders nowadays when they paint
the ship. We used TO climb around like
monkeys when / was in focsle.
Hunt told the committee that drilling
o. lifeboat crews in rough weather is
a. oided by boat owners because of fear
of losing crews.
w III. Crowley, of the Boston-M Marine
Society, an eX-captains' organization,
said, ''on his word OF honor that sail

Huerta OutWits Standard
Oil Head in Finances

PORT ARTHUR, Tex. March L.
President Huerta Of Mexico and Presi-
dent John d. Archbold. Of the Standard
Oil Company, have just had little bat
tie of their own. and Huerta won, ac-
cording to a story brought here yester-
day by Captain Jenkins, of the oil
steamer Winnifred, from Vera Cruz.
The Standard, 1t is said. shreHdly con-
ceived the plan OF buying Mexican silver
dollars in New York. where they MAJ be
obtained now at big discount, then
ship them to Mexico and get their full
value So the Standard bought and
shipped ten barrels full Of the dollars
to Vera Cruz to pay of its employees
throughout Mexico and for other trans
actions.
The standard stood to make SO, 900 by
the deal.
Huerta was advised. He instructed his
custom officials to levy a duty of $4,000
on a cargo of money on the claim that
1t was manufactured silver. and thus
could not enter free of charge.
The Standard at first protested, then
paid up.

both colored. who were imprisoned for
life at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. for
murders committed in the. District Of
Columbia. Applications in bath cases
had been denied by former Presidents
Taft and Roosevelt
The Communication Of Norman's SEN
;ence was made largely on the recon-
mendation Of Major McLoughry. for
mer warden at Leavenworth. who de-
clared that Norman had saved the
lives Of many convicts at the peril of
his own during a steam explosion.
Norman killed Annie Brown, colored.
September Q. 1901. at 3207 Grace street
Georgetown. by causing her to fall
into the Chesapeake and Ohio canal
In committing the sentence President
Wilson said a convict who endangered
his life to save others, rs Norman did
at Leavenworth, still had traits that
would make him a good citizen.
Augustus Jenkins stabbed to death
Benjamin Shepard, also colored, in
saloon fight January p. 1891. Sentenced
to be hanged. his sentence was commut-
I'd by President Cleveland.
President Wilson declared that the
evidence did not show generalization
and thought Jenkins. wh owns but
twenty-one at the time of the murder,
had been sufficiently punished.

George H. Lamar. Of Montgomery

Wilson today by Senator Blair Lee for
appointment to the Supreme Court of
the District. to succeed the late Chief
Justice C1abaugh.

Yellott. assistant counsel for the
Maryland Public Service Commission;
Judge James =. Gorter. of the su-
preme court of Baltimore, and former
Judge Alfred s. Niles, of Baltimroe.
The Indications are that Senator
John Walter Smith and Senator Lee
have agreed on former Congressman
Joshua w. Miles Of Maryland for the
internal revenue collectorship of the

with unabated vigor. General Huerta
early in the day personally called upon
o'ShauShnessy and informed him that
the federals had captured 1000. rebel
prisoners in the Carneros district, ada
cent to Torreon. Two passenger trains
and one freight train. loaded with arms
and ammunition and valuable merchan-
disc. were captured by the rebels near
Cerneros. The war office reports here
did not tell of the fate of the passengers
and crews on the captured trains.
The telegraph lines between Mexico
CITY and Torreon have been cut by the
'eirels. and Huerta has ordered a strict
censorship of any details of the fight
ing that may filter through to the capi-
tai by wireless or messenger from the
north.
Torreon is one OF the principal rail-
way centtrs Of Mexico. and the key TO
the situation in the north. Should the
Ionstitutionalists take the town, they
would control a strategic position that
would make easy their advance on
Mexico city.

Sending Troops to Border
Move to Impress Rebels

The sending Of additional troops to
the Mexican border was ordered by
President Wilson not only to prevent
future conflicts between Texas citi-
zens and the authorities in Mexico.
but to impress General Carranza, 1t
is believed here today. The Admin
istraticn is said to believe that It
is about time for Carranze to make
T. more definite statement regarding
his attitude toward the United States
as the spokesman for England and
other foreign nations whose subjects
alist territory.
Secretary of State Bryan's note told
the rebel chieftain in plain language
that ne must accept complaints from
the United States on behalf of for
eigners under the protection Of this
country.
The particular case with which the
Secretary was dealing was that of a
Spaniard ramed Ruiz. whose stock of
tobacco had been confiscated by Villa 8
soldiers. but the arguments he used
disclosed the position of the United
States with regard to all foreigners.
The Secretary of State told Carranza
that inasmuch as England, Germany,
spain. and other countries had recog-
could not deal with the constitutional
1sts directly without thereby recog-
niztng their belligerency. This. he
told CarranZa, these nations would
not do. At the same time they re-
Quire protection for their citizens and
look to the United States as their
spokesman.
General Carranza has thus far refused
10 indicate his position except in an in
direct way. He has told Consul Sim
pich. that he will afford protection to
foreigners as far as possible.
A. xhe White House II was stated this
morning that the sending of the addi-
uonal troops must not be taken as in
dicating that any crisis was feared. OF
as a preparation for intervention. Con-
eressman Garner of Texas, 1t was
stated. had urged an increase Of the
border guard to help still the fears of
Texans living along the border. No ex-
PLANTATION was given as to what these
fears might be.
Charge O'ShauShnessy wired this
morning to the State Department that
the war department at Mexico City hiss
been unable to obtain any trace OF the
Texan Innocencio Benavides, who disap-
peared some time ago, but that investi-
cation Of the case was still in progress.
The United States consul at Tampico
reports the arrival there of an American
named Byrd. who was thought to have
come to harm.
Newhy. another American arrested by
the constitutionalists at Culiacan is be-
ing held there, according 10 the consul
At Hermosillo, not for ransom, but on
the charge of having misappropriated
funds entrusted to his care by the Ma
drsD government.
Mr.. Bryan is still without information
regarding Gustav Bauch, who disap-
peared from Juarez nearly a month ago.
The commission appointed by CarranEa
in Investigate the Benton killing is in
Nesttgating this case but has made no
reports TO the United States authorities
On either.
