Plant Of New Dunlap Mill
Company in Ashes.
LOSS $17,5OO;
INSURANCE, $4,000
Fire Originates From Hot Box
In Basement.

DUNLAP, Tenn, Feb. 13.-Fire
destroyed the plant Of the New Dunlap
Mill Co.. of this place last night.
The flames were discovered about 1890
in the basement, where they are sup
posed to have originated from a bot
box, as the mill had been running that
day. It is supposed that dust and
grease around the superheated box
caused ignition. When discovered 1t
was impossible to check the flames,
which spread very rapidly.
The building was u three story
frame construction with basement.
and had capacity of 100 barrels of
flour per day aud 300 bushels of meal
The stock of grain, -four and meal,
was also destroyed, although not very
large as shipments had run it low
Some parties who had stored grain in
the building suffered an entiie loss
The plant was erected some twelve
years ago by company headed by
Judge c. A. Carpenter, under the til
tie of the Dunlap Milling Co. 1t was
very successful from the start, and
under his guidance did splendid bus
mess. After his death some four years
ago it fell into financial straights, and
finally was sold to another company,
which took the present title of New
Dunlap Mill Co. The promoters of
this second company were G. T.
Smith, Fred Alexander, w. E. Con-
.dra, John M. Smih, and others, Mr..
Condra acting as general manager.
The original cost OF the plant was
SIT, 500. The insurance was only
$3, 600, and it is not likely that the
plant will be iebuilt. The mill was
very finely equipped and produced an
excellent brand of -four, under the di-
rection Of Lawrence Heard, head mil
ler. It was distinctively one of the
leading enterprises of the valley, and
the most completely equipped mill.

New York Mayor Escapes, But
Counsel Polk is Wounded.
ATTACK NEAR CITY HALL.
Bullet Entering Folks Jaw Passes So
Close To Mayor That His Face

Michael Mahoney.
fCopyright.N

New York-In attempting to take
the life of John Purroy Mitchell,
Michael p. Mahoney, an apparently ir-
responsible elderly man, who later said
he was blacksmith out of work, fired
into group of three men seated in
the Mayors automobile, which stood
at the east side of City Hall Park.
The bullet from his revolver entered
the jaw of Corporation Counsel Frank
L. Polk, who was sitting next to the
Mayor in the tonneau of the automo-
bile, and with blood squirting from his
mouth Mr.. Polk was taken into an
ante-chamber in the City Hall and af-
terward to the New York Hospital,
where it was said that the wound
would not prove fatal.
Mahoney shot the Mayor, he declar-
ed in the course of q disjointed state
ment extracted from him, because he
felt aggrieved at the city executives
"extravagant expenditures" and be-
cause, he was incensed at being turned
back from the door of the Mayors
room in the City Hall on two occa-
sions when he came to apply for a
municipal job. &
Mahoney fired only one shot at the
Mayor and his party. Before he could
fire second he was overcome by De-
tective George Neun, who, in the capa-
city of chauffeur, was adjusting robes
about the men in the automobile, and
the revolver was wrenched out of Ma
honey's hand.
The Mayor sat in the middle of the
back seat. with Mr. Polk on his right
and George v. Mullan, the Mayors
former law partner, on his left. The
bullet passed so close to Mayor
Mitchell that the left side of his face
was scorched. s4H

hope, in no circum stances, be forced
into war with the people Of Mexico.
Mexico is torn by civil strife. If we
are to accept the tests Of its own Con-
stitution, it has no government. Gen.
'eral Huerta has set his power up in
the City Of Mexico, such as 1t is, with
out right and by methods for which
there can be no justification. Only part
of the country is under his control.
1T armed conflict should UNI
happily come as a result of his at
titWde of personal resentment to-
yards this Government, ace should
be fighting only General HnertG
and those aoho adhere to him and
0iVe him their support, and our
object aOould be only to restore to
the people OF this distracted re-
public the opportunity to set up
again their osOm laaos and their
otUn government.
"But / earnestly hope that war is
not, now in question. / believe that I
speak for the American people when I
say that we do not desire to control
in any degree the affairs Of our sister
republic. Our feeling for the people
of Mexico is one Of deep and genuine
friendship, and everything that we
have so far done or refrained from
doing has proceeded from our desire
to help them, not to hinder or en-
barrass them.
"We aUOuld not irish eUen to
exercise the good Offices of friend
ship acithout their aoelc0n,e and
consent. The people of Merico
are entitled to settle their OIUn do
nlestic affairs in their Os0n 1Uay,
and zoe sincerely desire to respect
their right. The present situation
need haze none of the Craze COM
plcatioms of interference if aoe
deal Nth it promptly, firmly and
soiSely.
mo doubt could do what is neces-
sary in the circumstances to enforce
respect for our Government without
recourse to the Congress, and yet not
exceed my constitutional powers as
President; but do not wish to act in
a matter possibly Of so grave conse-
quence except In close conference and
cooperation with both the Senate and

DE LA BARRA's POSITION.
Would Accept Provisional Presidency
es If Satisfactory.

Paris.-Francesco De La Barra,
Huerta's minister here, when asked
whether he would accept the provi-
sional presidency of Mexico, made an
evasive answer leaving the impression
that he would do so if the acceptance
satisfied both parties. Discussing the
situation in Mexico. he said. 81 do
not think that the United States naval
demonstration is to be followed by
other strong measures, but the effect
of President Wilson's latest move will
be to show all my countrymen the need
of unity-not for joint action against
America, but for the welfare of their
fatherland."
