KENNEY HAS
NO CHANCE OF
Sl7,5OO JOB
No Man Unframed in DipIO-
macy for That Post, Wash

DOVER MANS NAME
HAS BEEN SUBMITTED

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
WASHINGTON. ID. c., Feb. 6.-No
matter how many endorsements for
mer United states Senator Richard
r. Kenney, of Dover. Delaware. may
be able 10 attach to his petition for
job as ambassador TO Mexico, he
won't land it.
This was made certain today when
Information was obtained from high
official quarters that there would
be no change in the Mexican embas-
sy for a long time 10 come. and that
the President would give no oOnsid-
Grafton to Kenney's name.
II is understood that Senator
Salisbury has actually submitted
Kenney's name, but the matter Will
rest there. Senator Salisbury will
learn today or tomorrow that there
is no chance for Kenney in connec-
tion with the Mexican post; that
John Lind is to be kept there indefi-
nitely and that if Lind can be induc-
ed to take the ambassadorship when
the revolution is over-if such a
happy conclusion may ultimately be
hoped for-he certainly can have It.
The word from the White House
is that no man unframed In diplom-
acy could be sent to Mexico for
many years to come, no matter
whether Huerta, villa or Carranza
should be president of Mexico. Lind
had no previous experience. hue he
had the complete confidence OF Pres
ident Wilson and Secretary Bryan.
Lind wants to leave Mexico, but
promised to stay as long rs needed.
Il is very definitely stated that
Kenney won't be ambassador to Mex
leo. He may get another iub. how
ever, If Salisbury actually works for
his appointment

HUSBAND GOT OUT
WITH ANOTHER CHILD

Awakened by frantic pounding on
his door about $50 o'clock this morn
ing, David Dubois, who lives above
his grocery store, at No. 1901 West
Fourth street, ran to window and
was informed by a milkman that his
store was OH fire The blaze rapidly
spreading to the other parts of the
house. In the excitement that fol-
lowed Mrs. Dubois, who has been out
Of the Delaware Hospital only q
short time, tainted and was left in
the house when her husband carried
out one of his children while the
other was being rescued by neigh
bors.
Policemen Sewell Scott and Payne
who were on duty nearby. rushed to
the house, and Officer Payne rushed
into the building and rescued Mrs.
Dubois and one of the small children.
In order TO get through the smoke
with the child. Officer Payne covered
blankets over the child's form.
Had the fire not been discovered
BY the milkman. who was passing at
the time. the result would have been
more serious as Il was within a few
feet of a door adjoining the stair
way to the apartment above the store.
The stairway is the only means Of
access to the apartment and had the
flaIdes reached it all means of escape
for the occupants would have been
cut of except by window. No doubt
the fire would have burned almost
10 the rooms occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Dubois before they would have
discovered it, as their doors we're
closed. and although the house was
full Of smoke, none of it had gotten
into their room.
Mrs, Dubois was awakened by the
pounding this morning and in turn
aYiakened her husband He reluct-
an3 was tod By The milkTan tc Zee
for his life, as the downstairs of the
house was in flames. Grabbing one
of his children Mr.. Dubois started
down stairs in his night clothes and
yelled to his wife TO bring the other
child.
Mrs. Dubois has just recovered
from an operation at the Delaware
Hospital, and a long period OF i'll
ness. Knowing that it would prob
ably XIII her II she went out on the
cold pavement in her bare feet and
with nothing on but her night dress
she began 10 search for her shoes
While running through the house she
became excited and tainted.
Policeman Payne dashed into the
house for the other child and res
cued both mother and child, who
was screaming frantically, and was
almost suffocated by smoke, which
had found its way into the rooms as
soon as the doors were opened.
In the same building with the
store is tailor shop run by Pasquale
D'Avolos. In the rear Of the shor
D'Avolos and his wife and four chill
dren live. They were aroused by the
excitement, but took time to dress
before coming out of the house.
All Of the district companies re-
sponded to the alarm. The fire IS
thought to have started by a raj
gnawing matches, as the shelf OF
which the matches were kept was
badly burned. The blaze was eX.
tinguished by chemical apparatus OF
one of the companies. Nearly every.
thing in the store was damaged by
smoke or chemicals. The damage
is fixed at $1,000. 1t is fully cover
ed by insurance.

MOURN HIS DEATH.

1t was with feelings of intense
regret that his many friends and
relatives in this city and elsewhere
learned of the death of Morgan
Vance Kennedy, on Friday of last
week at the home of his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. William r. Kennedy, 634
South Thirty-fifth street. Until
tuberculosis forced his retirement
eighteen months ago he was en-
ployed in the Office of Auditor of
Receipts for the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Company. Only few
years ago he was an active athlete
and prominent in baseball and foot
ball circles, as well as in Mackin
Council, Y. M. /. Besides his par
ents he is survived by his widow,
Mrs. Leona Kennedy; a son, Thomas
Edwin Kennedy; two brothers, WILL
lam F.. and James F. Kennedy, and
three sisters, Misses Julia, Mary and
Alice Kennedy. The funeral was
held Sunday afternoon from Holy
Cross church, Rev. Father Brey con-
Quoting the solemn services. To the

tended most sincere sympathy.

WORRY ovERCoMEs PRIEST.

1t was necessary last Friday for
officers to take the Rev. Christian
Weigand, pastor of st. Elizabeth s
church at Curdsville, adjacent to Ow-
ensboro, in charge. Father Weigand,
who came to this diocese from
Texas about a year ago, had two
brothers in the European war. One
was fighting with the Prussian army
and the other with the Belgians.
Recently he received word that one
OF them had been killed in battle.
He has been worrying over the war
and ii is feared the news of the
death of his brother impaired his
mind. He became violent Thursday,
and that night refused to admit the
officers to his home. Friday morn
ing another priest persuaded him
to submit and he was brought to
Owensboro. II was arranged to
send him to a sanatorium in st.
Louis, and he was taken there that
night.
