WOMEN THREATEN To
JUMP TO DEATH
[Continued from First Pagel

Russians, having come to this city a
week ago.
Wanted to Throw Baby
The frightened group clad in their
sleeping robes stepped from the smoke
and flame-filled corridor of the third
floor to the snow covered roof OF a
second-story bay window in the front
of the apartment house. Below a
hundred excited people shouted warn
ings to the group on the roof not to
jump. Once the frantic mother nearly
threw her baby, which was nearly
naked. to the men below when huge
volumes of smoke began to curl from
the open window behind her.
The Demenoffs had been driven
from their beds by the suffocating
smoke coming down the corridor from
the old mans room. The husband
carried with him an armful of cloth
ing, which he began to throw to the
sidewalk, yelling:
Look out! We're going to jump"
Spread Firenet
Several men, believing that the
panic stricken group were about to
hurl themselves into the snow, quick
ly removed their overcoats to make q
nrenet, and holding the coat out, mo-
toned to the mother to throw the
baby down.
A cooler NINA motloned TO her 70

ran into the house, up the stairs to the
room and dragged the people back to
safety. By this time, the chemical on
the flames had reduced the volume
of smoke, and the family was brought
down the stairs to the street.
The fire started when Burt bumped

masked robbers entered the Academy
of Music last night, overpowered the
watchman. blew open the office safe
and got away with between $4,000
and $4,000, leaving the watchman tied
to post In the auditorium. After
ward the cracksmen broke into cigar
store adjoining the theater and stole
a number of expensive pipes
The robbers left no clue and the
police declared the job to be the
work of experts and one of the neat
est ever performed in this city. The
men used thirty blankets they found
stored on the stage to deaden the
sound of the explosion.

of the First National Bank, as a JUS
tice of the peace, vice 2. S. Shaw, de-
ceased, Is the surprise of the week
While there were several other appli-

to be in the field. The former justice
held the office for 4S years and had
just been reelected for six years more,
when he died from general debility
The other justice iss f. s. Barten-
schlager, who is also the new County
controller. The question has arisen
whether he can hold both offices. He
is of the opinion he can. The matter
was put up to the Governor and he
said 1t was a matter of law If the Of
fees were incompatible and would
have to be decided by the court. AS
the question has never been submit
ted for a decision he Is still filling both
offices and in case of a return OF
any bill to the county from his office
of justice would necessarily have to
approve his own accounts.

over night, coming here in the morn
ing to greet people who are coming to

Not Talking State Politics
When asked If he had any state
ment to make regarding his candi-
dacy the senator said: II have nothing
to say about that at the present time.
l am simply going to Lykens to make
a speech"
The Mexican situation appeared to
interest the senator and he asked what
was new about 1t. He remarked that
the senator's were getting impatient
and said that while everyone wants
the administration to be unhampered
in foreign affairs and to have full
opportunities, yet when affairs are
mismanaged criticism is bound to
arise. 1t is incredible that the 'Ameri-
can people have permitted the state
of affairs to continue as they are in
Mexico. The situation is well calcu-
lated to start a storm of indignant
protest were the facts known. 1t is
evident that before long some mem
Der of the Senate will insist upon the
facts being published and some def
mite action be taken along practical
lines"
There are a number of resolutions
before the Senate, including one by
myself" he continued. Now, no one
advocates intervention in Mexico and
no one desires for one moment to
But everyone familiar with the sit
uation demands that some action be
taken for protection of American men

leo. The resolution introduced by me
called for police Intervention, so to
speak. In other words, the civil or
military authorities in Mexico. no mat
ter to what party or faction they be-
longed, would be held personally re.
sponsible for outrages. This talk of a
vast army and an endless war to en-.
force protection is to my mind abso-
lutely unfounded. General Taylor with
under 1000 men went right into Mex
leo City. and the republic was then
larger than 1t is now, and there were
large and well organized armies in the
field. In my opinion, the presence OF
five or ten thousand American soldiers
at certain points would be sufficient
to pacify any locality and protect
Americans and other foreigners. The
interference need not extend any far
ther and need not constitute political
interference with either government
In my opinion, the mere declaration
of an intention to take such action
would have been sufficient IL it had
been made early enough to have pre-
vented federalists, constitutionalists or
bandits from interfering with Ameri-
cans.
Now that sums up the situation in
regard to Mexico, to my mind" said
the senator. Then after a pause he
said: 1T has remained for the present
administration to bring about the dis
graceful spectacle of American citi.
zens being held in contempt and hav-
ing to seek protection from foreign
governnents while American diplo-
macy is rendered contemplate in the
eyes of civilized nations"

attracted good sized audiences consid-
ering the weather, and the comment
heard at the conclusion sf each show

Sharp Comment Made
on Grey's Statement
BY l4ssocfnted Prcts

London, Feb. 24.-Sharp comment
Is made by the Manchester Guardian
to-day on Sir Edward Grey's state
ment in the House of Commons yes
terday in regard to the killing of Will
nam >. Benton at Juarez by General
villa. The newspaper asks:
rs 1t not mere playing with words
to say that in such case the United
states has no responsibility? If that
were SO the Monroe Doctrine would be
a mere instrument of international
anarchy, whereas the whole tendency
OF President Wilson's policy has been
to make a force for order and good
government. If we are not RESPONSE
bic, then the United States is. We
certainly do not wish to drive the
United States government into inter
vention, but 1t cannot deny to other
powers the right of defending their
interests and at the same time refuse
to defend them itself"
Sir Edward Grey, British foreign
secretary, told the House of Commons
to-day of the latest developments in
the Mexican situation
He said Sir Cecil Spring Rice, Brit
1sh ambassador at Washington, had
been instructed yesterday to inform
the United States Government that
Great Britain considered 1t essential
for British consul to visit the spot
where William S. Benton was killed.
Consul Perceval at Galveston had
been selected for this purpose and
he was to supply the best reports pos
sible regarding Benton's death and
concerning the two missing English
men, Laurence and Curtis. Sir Cecil
was instructed to ask the United
States Government, as Great Britain
had no means of communicating with
General Villa and to request an assur-
ance that the British consul should
not be interfered with.
Reads Communication
Sir Edward Grey read a communi-
cation from the State Department at
Washington to Sir Cecil Spring Rice
which the British ambassador cabled
teXtuaily to the foreign office. 1t was
as follows:
THE State Department desires to
advise the British embassy that in
structions had been sent heretofore to
the American consul at Juarez to
make a most searching inquiry into
the circumstances attending the death
of William S. Benton. The consul has
been instructed to make every effort
to secure the exhumation and exam
ination of the body of the deceased.

ical and legal assistance as far as may
be desirable and to do everything in
his power to elicit the facts
The comprehensiveness of tho AM

called forth hearty cheers in the
House of Commons.
Sir Edward Grey added that no re-
ply had been received to his com
munication concerning Consul Per-
ceval.
