CHINESE
 PROVINCES VOTE IN
 FAVOR OF MONARCHY
Only Two Other Provinces to Hear
 From-Government Must Soon s Make Decision

Peking, November 6--Sixteen of the IS provinces of China are said by the government to have voted in favor of a monarchy.
 The minister of foreign affairs, Lu Cheng- Hsiang, made this statement to NJ Obata. secretary of the Japanese lega- tion, in explaining why in his opinion the government could not legally defer the decision of the people concerning the pro- posal to re-establish monarchy.
 The foreign minister contended China was misrepresented' by reports that nasty action was contemplated and pointed to the advanced stage which the election al- ready had reached. He assured M. Obata the Chinese government WAS con sidering the friendly advice of the pow CTS in the same spirit in which it was offered.
 It is reported that the government may request the council or state acting as parliament to legalize a postponement of the monarchial restoration should it be finally decided upon.
 The French. British and Russian minis -ters have not asked China to explain her reply as it was considered by them to be satisfactory.

THIRTEEN BODIES RECOVERED FROM BURNING BUILDING Thirteen Others May Be Found in the Ruins of
 Brooklyn Factory FORTY INJURED ARE
 NOW IN HOSPITALS Two Hundred Employees of Candy Fac tory Struggle Desperately to Es- cape Trap-New York's Worst
 Factory Fire in Years

New York, November 6--Thirteen men and girls lost their lives today in n fire that destroyed an old fOur-story brick and wooden factory building in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. A search of the ruins Is expected to uncover the bodies of 13 other victims, eight of them girls. reported as miss- ing tonight. Of the 40 injured, who were in hospitals, many were expect- ed to die and score more were less seriously burned and bruised.
 Normally there were 300 employees of the candy manufacturing concern and three clothing manufacturers in the building but more than q third had been dismissed for Saturday half holiday before the Ire started.
 The flames were discovered by . girl employe in the basement and were soon roaring up the elevator shaft. around which wound the principal stairway.
 Leap From Windows
 There was one other stairway in the rear and some of the entrapped persons escaped by that. but before the firemen arrived men and women were leaping from the windows. The flames had swift ly mushroomed from the elevator shaft into the fourth floor and scarcely had the first streams of water entered the building when the roof collapsed. The other floors soon after fell one by one.
 Today's disaster was the worse factory fire in New York since the Triangle Waist company was burned out sYeral years ago with a loss of 14S liveS.
 The flames spread so rapidly that es- cape for most of the employees in the building by stairs and elevator was im- possible The only fire escape became jamnled and the flames drove the fright ened men and women to the windows, from which they jumped. Of the Il bodies recovered from the ruins six were taken from the fire escape andAfour were found hanging out of windows, charred beyond recognition. Several of these were girls burned to death in the sight of great crowd of helpless spectators.
 Fires Origin
 The oriein of the fire had not been de- termined tonight, but within half an hour the roof oh the building had collapsed. In another hour 1t was nothing but a tottering shell of brick walls enclosing smoking ruins and probably the bodies

Harry L. Roberts of Fletcher Is
making an enviable record as a hog
raiser. He won the first and second
prizes in the Blue Ridge Berkshire
farm contest, the first prize calling for
SIS and the second for $40.
By the rule of the contest the con-

AEr. Roberts returned both and took in
exchange for the one belonging to him
three registered pigs worth $75, re-
sulting in a total gain of $3.50 as a re-
suit of his participation in the con-
lest.
Mr.. Roberts says he is going 20 fur
rsh highly bred Berkshire pigs at far
rers' prices and is also going to breed
1ign-cIass DurOcks.
Mr.. Roberts has become enthused
over hog raising and hopes to stimu-
ate greater interest in this industry.
