near partition started lively blaze
early last evening at the residence of @,

and placed very near the wall in the
kitchen While the members of the fam
lily were absent from the room the flame
from the plate crept into the partition,
burning through the sheathing. As soon
as the conditions were observed, which
was not for some time, an alarm was
rung in from box 2S corner of Decatur
street and Interval avenue, The firemen
got at the blaze with difficulty, as it had
crawled up the partition into the attic
and then to the roof.
The fire was put out with the chemi-
cal and without damage to the fur
nshings of the house, after half hours
work Later in the evening it was dis
covered that there was still fire in the
attic and the apparatus was taken to
the scene again. The damage will be
between 5000 and $500.

BODY NOT DUG UP.
Keene Authorities Are Awaiting for In
structions in "Driscoll' Burial.

Keene, N. H., April 3.--The identified
ton of the body which is buried in the
Driscoll family lot is still a mystery as
the Vermont authorities have not sent
any word to the members OF the Dris-
coll family what disposition to make
of the body.
1t was supposed on Tuesday morning
when James and jeremiah Driscoll were
burying the body that they were laying
their brother, Patrick, at rest. Much to
their surprise he called up relatives in
this city Tuesday night from Mont
pelier, VT, and told them he was very
much alive and would arrive in Keene
Wednesday afternoon at 2i30. As yet
he has failed to show up.
He may have been delayed in get
ting fitted out with suit of clothes,
as when he appeared in Montpelier he
was in his lumberman's rig, having
rushed there from Bethel in an effort
to stop his own funeral" 1t is thought
that he might have returned to Bethel
for his other clothes.
The relatives are anxious to have him
show up in this city and are waiting
for word from the selectmen in Mont
pelier, where to send the body before
applying to the state board of health
for permit to have it disinterred.

local markets new sugar is still at a
premium, although larger supply was
available to-day than at any time dur

DECLARES "AMERICA
FOR AMERICANS'
New Policy Should Supplant the Monroe
Doctrine as Associated With South
American Countries, Says Rear
Admiral Colby M. Chester.

Philadelphia, April "a concert of
action" among American republics in de-
fense of the principle of america for
the Americans" as a substitute for the
manner in which the Monroe doctrine
is enforced to-day by the United States
alone, was urged by Rear Admiral Colby
NJ. Chester in a speech here to-day be-
fore the American Academy of Political
4 Social Science.
1.-TWO distinct and far-reaching prin-
ciples are laid down in the Monroe doc
trine," he said. "The first is the prin-
ciple of self defense The second is
that South American republics, which
followed our lead in declaring their in
dependence, should have our protection
in maintaining this doctrine for them
selves.
"The first principle is automatic and
immutable, and all other considerations
must give away to it. The second is
amenable to changes or amendments that
viii bring it into accord with new con-
ditions that arise. The question now
is, therefore, do the same conditions
prevail on the western continent to- day
that existed at the time President Mon
roe sent his message to Congress in
1923?
"We should remember that the South
American republics were in their infan-
cy at the time the Monroe doctrine was
declared, and were struggling against
great odds for liberty. The United
States proclaimed herself the protector
of the western world as matter of
necessity, for without her aid the newly
formed republics were helpless to bat
tie against the great odds opposing
them"

REBELS NOW CONTROL
NORTHERN STATES
No Foreigner Was Either
Killed or Wounded Viii
las Casualties Were 1000
and He Estimates Federal
Losses at $500

Torreon, Mexico, April 3.--Torreon,
strewn with the dead and the wounded
of the six-day battle, was occupied last
night by the rebels on the heels of the
fleeing federals. In all the fighting, no
foreigner was either killed or injured.
The taking of Torreon marks the eli
max of the first campaign of the revo-
luton to oust victoriano Huerta from
Mexico City and it gives the constitu-
tionalists virtual control of the whole
northern tier of Mexican states.
The fighting began last Friday and
was almost continuous from that time
to the fall of the city. At first General
Villa attempted assaults on the strong
federal positions in daylight but these
proved costly, SO the days were spent in
cannonading and the nights in assaults.
The losses have not been compiled,
but General Villa estimates his own
losses at 500 killed and 1900 wounded,
and the federal losses at 1000 killed and
$500 wounded, with an unknown number
of prisoners. The contending armies at
the outset numbered about 10000 each.
General Villas cavalry is now pursu-
ing the fleeing federals into the South.
Interest in northern Mexico to-day
was divided in speculation as to Villas
future movements and the effect, if any,
that the rebel triumph would have in
Washington.
