Fire at ]. II. Ruppenthal Homo.

The fire alarm called the fire depart
ment to the John P. Ruppenthal home
Saturday afternoon, where blaze had
started in some unknown manner in
one of the upstairs rooms. Mrs. Rup-
penthal was the first to discover the
fire and hurriedly gave the alarm.
Smoke was pouring through the roof
when the firemen reached the scene,
but they soon turned the water on and
extinguished the flames. Considerable
damage was done to the building and
furniture by the fire and water. The
loss is partially covered by insurance.
The fire was an unfortunate one as Mr..
Ruppenthal had just lately repaired
and built an addition to his home

PORTION OF EV[LYN'S CREW
HEADING FOR HOLLAND HAS
NOT YET Been REPORTED

This was not suppl emerted by any fur
Their message today and o444clals kne"
only through the press reports that the
mate and sailors who originally Were
thought to have been landed safely IN
Holland had not been reported through
any of the coast guard stations or the
Dutch admiralty as having been located
anywhere in Holland.
While the case of the Evelyn continued
today to absorb attention, the fact that

governed the laying OF mines and that
Il had been impossible for other neutral
governments who had lost vessels in sim
mar manner during the present war to
fix the responsibility for the accidents,
removed some of the tensity which first
reports of the wreck produced.
Although there has been no protest
thus far from the United States con-
corning the laying Of mines il belliger-
ent waters, and none is believed likely
at this time 1t was considered possible
in many quarters that an effort might
be made by the American government to
learn more definitely from the bellger-
ents the precautions which they have
taken to safeguard neutral commerce in
the mine zones and to obtain more data
on which American ship captains could
be Informed in the future as to safe chan

Washington, Feb. 22.-rresident Wilson
conferred with Secretary Bryan tonight
concerning the destruction of the Anerl-
can steamer Evelyn off the coast Of Ger
many last Friday, hut in the absence Of
definite information as to the cause Of
the wreck no course Of action beyond
diplomatic inquiries was decided upon.
Having learned unofflcially that part
of the Evelyn's crew. when cast adrift
from the sinking vessel, headed for the
coast of Holland, Secretary Bryan ca
bled to American Minister Henry Van
Dyke at The Hague the same message
which he previously had sent to Arnhas-
sadors Page and Gerard at London ana
Berlin, asking that every care by eA-
tended to the crew and an investigation
Of the facts Of the occurrence be made
through all available agencies. Later in
the day Secretary Daniels instructed the
naval attache of the American embassy
at Berlin TO make an investigation Of the
disaster and all data which might aid the
United States IN forming judgment as
TO responsibility for the destruction OF
the ship.
No Ground For Protest
1t was conceded in official quarters
that if the nationality OF the mine were
not determined and II no proof were OBJ
tanned TO show whether official notifica-
lions TO neutral vessels concerning the
courses they should steer were being
followed by the Evelyn, there would be
virtually no ground for diplomatic pro-
test A civil suit, however, by the Unit
ed States war risk insurance bureau and
the owners of the vessel and cargo Is
certain to follow upon such evidence as
can be gathered through the official IN
ouiries now being made Some officials
thought that claim for damages might
even be laid against both Germany and
Great Britain if the mines were sown
far beyond the belligerent zones of op-
Grafton without giving due notice to neu-
trail craft
Not Reported in Holland
Some anxiety prevailed among ofhclals
over the fate of that portion Of the crew
of the Evelyn supposed to have rowed
for the coast of Holland after the vesse!
struck. The message last night from
American Consul Fee at Bremen said
merely THE crew was saved and made
no mention of any missing men.
