100000 FIRE AT BUFFALO.
Elevator Destroyed Last Night, Making
Great Spectacle.

Buffalo, N Y, March l0.-The Con-
Meeting Terminal, 100000 bushel ele-
vator owned by the Connecting Ter
minal railroad, was destroyed by fire
last night. The loss was placed at about
100000 by Charles j. Strasmer, gem
eral agent of the company.
The elevator was located on the
Blackwell canal, on the island off the
foot of Main street, making it necessary
for the fire apparatus to make detour
over the Michigan street bridge to reach
it. There was no hope of saving the
structure fifteen minutes otter the fire
tugs got to work, but second and third
alarms were sent in as precautionary
measure against the spread of the
flames to other nearby elevators, against
which a twenty-five mile gale carried
great clouds of burning embers.
Patrick Mullins, pipeman on a fire
tug, was struck in the face by a piece OF
red hot corrugated iron from the side of
the elevator.
The glare from the fire lit up the bus
mess section of the city and there were
two accidents in the great crowd that
gathered along the docks. Albert Kill
gore, negro had his leg broken by
fall and a year-old boy was knocked
down by an ambulance and badly
bruised
The loss was covered fully by insur-
ance.

MELLEN WINS POINT IN
MANSLAUGHTER CASE
Demurrer Sustained By Judge Tuttle in
Superior Court and Next Move
Is Put Up To States
Attorney

Bridgeport, Conn, March l0.--A de-
murrer setting up that there was an in
sufficiency of information in the com
plant which charged former President
Charles s. Mellen of the New Haven
railroad with manslaughter in connection
with the wreck at Westport in October,
1912, and in which wreck nine We're
killed, was sustained by Judge Tuttle in
the superior court to-day. This, accord
ing to Mellen's counsel, puts the next
move up to the states attorney.
The demurrer stated that the COM
plant did not show wherein Mellen ac-
tually was responsible for the wreck;
that it did not show he set the fire
which caused the death of one Jane Doe;
or any connection between Mellen and
the wreck. The court said the Ian
guage of the charge was that of volun-
tary manslaughter and that there was
nothing in the information charging the
accused with neglect or omission of i'm
posed duties in consequence of which
Jane Doe lost her life, but, instead,
charges direct acts of violance. although
it was conceded the accused man was
many miles away at the time of the
accident.
The cases of other officials of the road.
who were Indicted with Mellen, were
mol pressed some time ago.

Report from Laredo.

Laredo, Texas, March 10.-Informa-
tion obtained last night from well in
formed sources, indicated that at least
two Mexicans were members of the par
ty that exhumed the body of Clemente
Vergara, the Texas ranchman, from the
Hidalgo, Mexican cemetery, and returned
it mysteriously to the American side of
the border early yesterday.
Eight Americans are said to have been
the others in the expedition. 1t also is
reported that one of the Mexicans re-
mained in Mexico and friends last night
expressed concern for his safety.
Officials here, both federal and state.
refused to discuss the incident other
than to repeat their first statements
that the body was delivered to them on
the American side of the boundary. At
whose request they assembled at the
point designated or who were the men
who made the trip into Mexico, they re-
fused to say.
The formal state inquiry, ordered by
Governor Colquitt, is expected to begin
here to-day under the direction of the
state adjutant-genersl. Henry Hutchins.
A. B. Garrett, United States consul at
Neuvo Laredo forwarded his report to

WOMAN DRAGGED
FROM PLATFORM
Emmeline Pankhurst Had Barricaded
Herself Behind Barbed Wire Fence
and Had Bodyguard Armed
With Clubs.

Glasgow, March To- Mrs. Emmeline
Pankhurst, leader of the militant suf:
fragettes, was arrested last night at a
suffragette meeting in st. Andrews hall
after fierce fight with the police in
which score of women were hurt and
several constables badly bruised.
Mrs. Pankhurst had just declared that
women had just as ample justification
for lighting for their rights as men ever
had in the history Of the world. when
a large force Of police dashed into the
hall with their clubs drawn. In antici-
patton OF trouble the suffragettes had
stretched network Of barbed wire
across the platform. The wire was con-
cealed by floral decorations and proved
etfieacious, with the aid of masculine
supporters of the suifragettes. using
flower pots, chairs and anything they
could lay their hands on as missiles. in
holding back the police for few min.
utes.
Finally when the police stormed the
platform a number of women produced
clubs from under their eloaks and used
them vigorously against the attacking
party. In the midst of the fighting Eeg-
eral blank cartridge pistols were fired
and miniature bombs exploded. Fright
ened by the detonations, many women
tainted.
The police succeeded in seizing Mrs.
Pankhurst and dragging her from the
platform and through the hall to the
street. Here a desperate effort at res
cue was made as the police forced her
into a taxicab and drove away to the
police station.

GIRLS WERE PENITENT.
But Court Decided to Send Them to
House of Correction.

Burlington, March TO- Two very
fearful girls were arfaigiied IN city court
yesterday afternoon on the charge OF
being engaged in an immoral profession.
They were Mabel Chamberlain and
Ethel Bolton who were picked up on
Church street by the police Saturday.
The prosecution against them was un-
der the city ordinance, and City Attor-
ney Horton appeared for the city. The
girls pleaded guilty.
1t appeared that their cases had been
thoroughly investigated by the police.
and Miss Tabouret, the police woman.
Judge Palmer had also looked into the
cases. The general opinion of all con
cerned was that the plight Of the girls
was deplorable. considering their youth.
but that it would be better for them to
serve a term of imprisonment than to
send them back home. The court SEN
fenced them to serve not less than one
year nor more than three wears in the
house of correction. Both girls were
very penitent ami the court was in
cllned to do what he could for them but
there seemed to be no other way ont of
il than to send them to the institution
named. as the. state has no place for
this class of respondents,
May Gotta was sentenced to serve not
less than one year nor more than two
years at the house of correction on the
charge OF keeping disorderIy house.
The conditions in her case being such
that they were brought to the attention
OF the state board of health, she will
be given the proper medical attendance.

ing by Deputy Marshal Thomas Reeves

of the state board of health, who took
one of the instruments TO the state lab
oratory, along with the attractive ad-
yertising matter. for the purpose Of dis
seeting the device to ascertain if the
machine would Justify AL that was said
of il. The STATE board, after care
ful analysis, came 10 the conclusion
that the oxygenator was misbranded

and extravagant. The board
sent warning letter to Preston and
tod him that TO sell the device was.

he would be liable if he continued. Aft

tised for sale. II was for the adyertis-
ing sent through the mails during the
to give publicity to the al.
legged merits Of the device that the grand

WANTED GOOD ACCOMMODATIONS
Fred C. Slack Was Afraid He Wouldn't
Be Treated as Well in Burlington.

Fred C. Slack of Northfeld, who is
awaiting trial in the United States court
on the charge of using the mails to de-
fraud, was taken from the county Jail
at Montpelier to the Chittenden county
Jail in Burlington. Slack protested
against the change, saying that he was
well satisfied with the accommodations
at the Montpelier institution and wasn't
anxious to take chance on getting any
thing worse. He has been a hospital
patient at Montpelier and he asked
Deputy Marshal Reeves of Burlington,
who came after him, whether he would
have as good hospital accommodations
in Burlington as in Montpelier. On be-
ing assured by the officer that the ne
oommodations were as good in Burling
ton, Slack was more inclined to accept
the change.
Slack is to be tried on the charge of
writing letetrs to Frank Severance of
Northfeld, demanding a loan of $3.50.

IRISH HOME RULE
MAY BE SETTLED
King Georges Activity Is Believed To
Be Largely Responsible for the
Steps Thus Far Taken.

London. March l0-The possibility of
settlement OF the Irish home rule con
troversy again to-day was in the fore
front Of popular interest. The STUN
bling blocks in the way of settlement
are the "die hard" unionists, who want
general election at any cost in the
hope OF defeating the government and
there are also nationalists who follow
William O'Brien. who are opposed to
any kind OF exclusion bill granted TO
Ulster.
Some of the leaders have expressed
doubt whether Premier Asquith's offer
would bring about satisfactory solu-
tion. King George is believed to have
had hand in inducing Premier Asquith
to make the proffered concessions and
il is contended that if his majesty con-
tinues his activity in this respect the
two parties may be enabled to bridge
over the difficulties separating them.
