BABY'S CRIES SAVE SLEEPING
FAMILY FROM FIRE PERIL
Attract Policeman, who Summons
Engines to the Scene.


The cry of the child who saw the fire
early today enabled the police to rescue
from suffocation six persons asleep in
smoke-hlled house next door to the burn
Ing cigar store of James Brown, 1921
South Sixth street.
The rescued family was that of Jacob
Margolis, who with his wife and four
children was asleep at 1923 South Sixth
street when the fire started next door.
Clouds of Sitting tobacco smoke were roll
ing into their bedrooms when the cry of
little Able Stroud, 1906 South Sixth street,
who looked from his window and saw
flames in the cigar store, warned Il patrol
man, who burst open the Margois front
door and led the family out into the
street.
The patrolman also turned in an alarm
of fire, and soon engines, hose trucks and
other apparatus clattered to the scene
The Margolis family were taken care of
by neighbors. Their house was not
damaged by fire, but filled with smoke.
Rats gnawing matches are thought to
have started the blaze in Browns cigar
store. The upper floor of the building is
occupied by a New Years association
This was not damaged to any great ex-
tent. According to Brown, the loss to
his store and stock will amount to about
$1,000

farm and home opportunities and ac-
Movements.

INDIANS SEND PETITION
Members of Nez Perez Tribe Would
Have Gambling Stopped on
-. Reservation.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-(Special.)
Representative Burton L. French
has just received a numerously signed
petition from members of the Nez
Perez Indian tribe urging a federal
law be passed that will prohibit gambl-
ing by Indians upon Indian reserva-
lions by the means of native gambling
games. One game especially is re-
ferred to in the petition that is played
with bones and sticks and that is call
ed 'Luckmit." The Indian petitioners
daily and nightly for weeks at time,
and that Indians gamble away their
property of every description, includ-
ing their blankets and clothes they
wear.
More thoughtful members of the Nez
Perez tribe believe that gambling is a
very serious curse to the tribe and are
asking that laws be passed that will
make possible it's abolition.
Mr.. French has the matter up with
the Indian department at this time
looking to the preparation of a bill that
will meet the situation as regards
gambling games not already included
in the law
A very interesting feature of the
petition is the manner in which many
Indians have affixed their signatures. |
Not being able to write, they have |
made their mark by the Bertillion sys- |
tenn: First dipping the thumb into ink |
Or pressing it upon an ink pad, and
then pressing it upon the paper by the
side of which thumb mark, the Indians
name is written.

MOTOR BOATS ON CONGO.

LEOPOLDVILLE, Africa, June A.
Boat service for freight, mail and pas
sengers will be started today from
this city to Stanley Falls and upon
other river routes by the aid of three
so-called sliding motor boats recently
sent by the Belgian government.
These boats have a draught of only
271a inches, are 81 feet long and are
driven with motors. The boats can
each bear a load of eight tons and ac-
commodate eight passengers in an
airy cabin suited to the tropics.
The accommodations are much like
those of Pullman car, and river traf-
ic on the Congo will be greatly i'm
proved by this new service.

Soldiers Hide In Hills.
In the meantime, while the refugees
are tramping toward the train, the
soldiers on the American train are TAX
ing all the precautions necessary in
warfare. They are in the enemy's
country, under flag of truce. Mexi-
can soldiers are hidden in the hills

a soldier must watch for. They sweep
the place with their glasses. Sharp
shooters hold their rifles ready "Sup-
pose the Mexicans should jump on
you. What could forty of you do?"
you ask of soldier. "See that wire
less?" says the sharpshooter, pointing
to the rigging on top of car. 1--WE
could soon get help"
Talk With Headquarters.
You go into the car and see the
sharpshooters with wireless kit
spread out on seat before them. All
The way out from Vera Cruz, while the
train was moving, they were talking
with signal headquarters in Vera Cruz.
Now they're doing the same thing. The

aces are, you see their faces light up
With smiles of delight as they step

SCHOOL CHILDREN MAKE FLAG.

BUFFALO, N. Y, June 4.-Over
1000 children will participate in a
mammoth gymnastic exhibition that is
to be given today. Exhibitions of this
kind have been given frequently be-
fore, but never on this scale Only
in Germany and Sweden have similar
efforts been made.
The living flag planned for the hy-
gienic congress will be reproduced
There will be wand drills for boys
and girls, dumbbell and Indian club
drills for the boys, folk dances for
the girls and calisthenics that will
thoroughly demonstrate how the
health and bodies of children of this
city are being conserved. The work
is under the direction of the expert
German gymnast, Carl Burkhardt.

stands beside the track, guarded by a
Mexican sentinel. A Mexican soldier
comes out of the shack with another
white flag. The Mexican flag of truce
appears to have been made out of a
bed sheet Behind Lieutenant Richard
son, Mexicans, loaded down with their
personal belongings, struggle. They
are negatives from Vera Cruz.
Some Would Venture Back.
Perhaps among the Mexicans there
will be an adventuresome foreigner or
two, who wants to get back to the
capital The horde of travellers pass
tile two white flags and, the moment
they pass the Mexican flag of truce,
they are in the hands of the Mexicans.
All of the railroad telegraph lines have
been cut and so there is no way of
moving whether there is Mexican
train at the other end of the gap. The
only thing to do is to wait. If it is
there, it is at standstill in the heart
of a tropical mosquito-infested forest;
there may be Americans on it, though
Lieutenant Richardson has no way of
knowing, and the only thing he can do
is to wait.
Have Long Hot Walk.
With field glass, you can look over
the heads of the Mexicans, to the path
way through the forest. If the Mex
can train is there, you couldn't see it
anyhow, for it stops at a curve, out
Of sight, at the top of a grade. The
leat rising from the hot rails simmer
md makes it difficult to see what is
at the distant end of the
gap. But suddenly, someone makes
,ut group of persons, like tiny dots;
soon you can see the dust they are
as they move along the road
,ed They have long hot walk before
hem; two and a half miles, in broil-
ng sun, loaded down with as many of
heir belongings as they can carry;

VERA CRUZ, May 7.-(By Mail tc
I New York; Liberty PATH" they call
it now. 1t Is a stretch of railroad
track until the Mexicans tore up the
track and the ties, leaving only the
grading. 1t runs through swamp
and into tropical forest. Two trains
under Lieutenant Richardson, of the
18th infantry, run every day from
Vera Cruz out to the end of the gap
in the rails to carry American and
other refugees form Mexico into the
American lines at Vera Cruz.
How Trains Run.
It's an interesting process. The
American train consists of a Pullman
car, with four or five cars filled with
American sharpshooters, for, under a
flag of truce, the train runs a distance
of two miles into the Mexican lines.
One of the cars is fitted with wireless
apparatus. AS you pass out of the
American lines you see the outpost
American pickets, in the sandhills
some distance from the railroad tracks.
The train runs along for mile or so,
and you first notice you are inside the
Mexican lines when you sight Mexican
soldiers standing alongside the track.
Finally the train comes to stop with
in few feet of the gap in the rails
Lieutenant Richardson alights with
soldier who carries a huge Turkish
towel, tied in flag fashion to piece. of
bamboo.
A Historic Flag.
This is the flag of truce. 1t will
be historic old bit of flag some day,
this white Turkish towel, for under
its heavy folds no less than 1000 Amer
leans, including O'Shaughnessy him
self, have completed the last stage of
their flight from Mexico City. Amer
leans, at the Mexican end Of the gap,
two and a half miles away, have spot
ted it's whiteness through their glasses |
and, knowing that it was in the hands |
of American soldiers, have felt the
fears and alarms of many weeks fall /
away from them; the red. white and |
blue flag, itself, could not have cheer
ed them more than their first glimpse
of the white Turkish towel. By the
way, the towel was taken away from
a man who, in the first days fighting at
Vera Cruz, broke open box in the
custom house, seeking loot, and tried
to get away with a huge bath room
accessory.

The little country girl is popular

She makes many friends, she even
