She Had Lived in Same Place
Many Years.

: Kokomo, Ind.-Henrietta Dowel1,
aged sixty-two, recluse, died at her
home in the eastern part of this city
recently. Although a resident here rs
years no one really knew her. Her
husband, George w. Dowell, died sud-
denly year ago. He, too, was &C.
centric. They had large, handsome
ly furnished home, but never enter
tanned company. No one except serv-
ants entered the home for many years.
After the death of her husband Mrs.
Dowell had no companions except two
dogs. One of these died early last
winter. She bought an expensive
coffin and buried it in the yard at
her door. She became ill several
weeks ago and was forced to engage
nurse and housekeeper.
Mrs Dowell leaves real estate val
ued at 100000 and much personal
property. She possessed a number OF
diamonds and other valuable jewelry

BIG STORM ON ATLANTIC COAST.
Streets Flooded, Wires Down, Trains
Not Moving Along Atlantic Coast.

A snow storm of unprecedented pro-
portions swept practically the whole
Atlantic seaboard. Snow, driven by
northeast gale, which at times blew
70 miles an hour, held up ocean travel,
crippled telegraphic and telephone
electric trains and nearly dashed the
hopes Of Easter paraders in New York
and New England.
In Greater New York nine inches of
snow fell, a record for April and heav-
lest Of the year. It was accompanied
by a 6O-mile-an-hour blow and early
crippled all surface traffic in the city
and environs Hundreds of accidents
occurred. Upwards Of $4,000 men at
tackled the snow and paid special at
tention to Fifth Avenue in an effort
to clear it for paraders. In New York
and other large cities the snowfall
proved boon to the unemployed.
Norfolk, where no trains arrived
during the day and other places along
the Virginia coast, were hit hardest
by the storm. They also suffered from
lack of wire communication.
Although trains as far south as
South Carolina arrived hours late al
night, Philadelphia and other sea
board cities railroad officials pro
fessed to see a gradual restoration O.
| normal schedules.

MORE TROUBLE IN
TAMP|CO DISTRICT
CARRANZA AGAIN ASKED TO OF.
TAIN RESPECT FOR FOREIGN
FLAGS.
FOOD CONDITIONS BETTER
Oil Operators Buying Corn For Dis.
tributior in Order to Relieve the
Situation.

Washington.-The United States has
renewed its representations to General
Carranza to obtain respect for foreign
flags recently violated at Manzanillo,
asking that he instruct his officers
there to afford protection to foreigners
and their interests
In the first note to Carranza a con-
sular report was transmitted Stain g
that the British and American Eags
had been violated by lawless Carranza
troops. That was denied by Car
rama and additional data has now
been laid before him with reference
to the requests made in the first COM
munication. No reply has been re-
ceived
A separate communication was sent
to CarranZa calling his attention to the
indiscriminate firing by his troops on
the oil tanks near TampicO, $50, 900
barrels Of oil already having been lost
as result Of perforations made by
bullets penetrating the oil tanks.
Conditions in the Tampico district
gave officials much concern. The dis.
patches said that the oil operators
are organizing for the purpose of buy
ing corn in the United States for local
distribution which will be disposed OF
| at cost in order to relieve the stu
| ation."
From Manzanillo and the city Of
| Colima came reports Of further law
| lessness.
The State Department received q
| dispatch from Zacetacas confirming
| the report that General Isabel Robes
| Secretary of War to General Elulie
Gutierrez had Surrendered on Apri
| 1 all of his command, much guns, am
munition and equipment to Genera
i Villas forces near Camacho."

COUNTY LINE HALTS WEDDING
Brides Home Located Twenty Feet
in Next County Makes Issuing
Of License There Necessary.

Muncie, Ind.-Because Cora Edith
Sizelove lived 20 feet from the Della
ware county line in Madison county,
it was necessary for her to postpone
her wedding to Charles Ray Howell
of Cammack, Delaware county. The
couple applied at the Office Of the
county clerk in Muncie for a license
to marry, when it was found that the
brides home was not in Delaware
county by a distance of 20 feet, and
that it would be necessary for the
couple to go to Anderson to obtain a
license, the Indiana law making it
compulsory that a marriage license
be issued in the county in which the
bride is a resident

London.--The Russians are on the
offensive along the whole front, from

to a Stockholm dispatch they have
concentrated an enormous number of

PLANS FOR SAFETY
IN MEXICO CITY
WASHINGTON PROPOSES THAT
CAPITAL BE MADE NEUTRAL
TERRITORY.
VILLA ACCEPTS PROPOSAL
Zapata Also Willing and Result Q.
Effort Depende on Carranza Coun-
ell to Maintain Order.

Wash1ngton.-With the hope Of Sc
curing permanent protection for the
$4,000 foreigners in Mexico City, the
United States Government has pro-
posed to the Villa-Zapata forces and
to General Carranza that the Mexican
Capital be declared neutral and out
side the field of operations hereafter
in Mexico's civil war.
The Villa-Zapata forces have agreed
to the proposal and are willing 20
evacuate the city as soon as a similar
agreement is obtained with the Car
rama authorities. On General Car
rama depends also whether or not
the effort of the United States to
neutralize the railway between Mex
leo City and Vera Cruz shall succeed
as the Villa-Zapata officials have
agreed to this.
The plan with respect to Mexico
City contemplates an arrangement
whereby order would be maintained
| by local council OF prominent resi-
dents. The Capital would not b;
subject to further attacks nor would
there be more changes in Govern
ment until central government hat
been established. Should the Capt.
tai be declared neutral, much of thu
apprehension for the safety of for
eigners would be removed and tn
famine menace eliminated
No important gagements be
| tween the Villa and Carranza force
were reported to the Washington at
thorities dispatched saying that con
parative quiet prevailed along tn
border and that the Mexico City sitr
alton was unchanged
