Panic Averted When
Movie Film Burned


When a moving picture film took
fire in the booth of the Pitt thea
ter last Saturday night a panic
was only averted by the presence
Of mind of the management and
TIE actors. The film was on the
floor of the booth. The door Of
the booth was open and the smoke
reached the auditorium, some OF
the audience starting on a run for
the door. Through the efforts of
the management and the orchestra
and the actors a serious panic was
averted. Over $500 worth of films
were taken from the booth. The
damage by the blaze amounted to
about $500.

Tho failur. of this bank has made
many farmers in Hardin county and
the citizens of Radcliffe poorer. for
those who deposited their savings
with the Himmels will stand small
chance OF getting anything back. Their

Raises Question.
The taking of Tampico, the port next
in Importance to Vera Cruz will raise
many interesting questions as the con
stitutionalists have hitherto held nc
seacoast towns. 1t is possible that the
federal gunboats outside the harbo,
may seek II prevent arms and supplies
from landing at Tampico, but such an
interference with International com
merce might not be tolerated by this
big foreign ships lying there and com
plications are possible.
AS there is an embargo on the ex-
portation Of arms into Mexico from
the United States, ammunition could
be shipped only from European ports
and hitherto there has been no inter
ference by General Huerta with foreign
commerce other than that with the
United States.
With success at Tampico. the consti-
tutionalists will press hard for posse
sion of Saltilo and San Luis Potosi

Criticism Of Discovery of River in

Bridgetown. Barbados, May l4.-Col.
Theodore Roosevelt before leaving for

an unknown river in Brazil by saying
that the British geographer had un-

tribute to what he had done. He de-

Cruz or with the bands that are plum
dering the country beyond the Amer
ican outposts.
The information which came direct.
has been confirmed by Professor
Cousachs, of the Annapolis naval acad-
emy, linguist whom Rear Admiral
Badger and General Funston have put
in charge Of the investigation.
The results so far are that 1t has
been discovered that before the occu-
patton there were 1o6 men charged
with murder in San Juan. There were
also several scores of political pris-
oners and several hundred other men
who were held simply to become re-
cruits in the federal army.
Take Names Of Recruits"
Among these murderers were many
desperate bandits and professional
criminals most dangerous to any CONF
munity.
When the United States opened the
prison It freed the political prisoners
and as many Of the recruit" prisoners
as were able to go. A great many OF
them, however. were too weak from
their experiences to leave at all.
The seventy murderers who gained
their liberty simply took the names Of
recruits whom they terrified into sill
ence. It has not been disclosed but it
IS believed that some Of the Mexican
keepers and guards aided them. The
recruits who were left were put in the
cells and ticketed as the dangerous
prisoners and did not until the investi-
cation was begun did any OF them say
a word.
Hard Task Still Remains.
The task Of separating the innocent
from the thirty six remaining murderers
is most delicate. for all Of them now
claim to be substitutes. However, the
work is progressing slowly.
The recruits do not want to leave
the prison and when they are freed
they volunteer to remain and work for
their keep.
The old fortress is now a model Of
cleanliness. The wet underground cells
are closed and everything else is as
sanitary as it can be made. The food
Is real food and the treatment hu-
name.
The recruits who have gone to work
are only allowed to toll four hours a
day because Of their physical condition.
They express their gratitude for their
treatment and any time it is suggested
that they can go into the interior as
refugees they raise protest. It
means they would have to go back
into the army.
