FIGHT. FIRE z HOURS
IN CREMAToRY FLOOR

A fire caused by one of the three
incinerattng furnaces at the city
crematory becoming overheated did
about $500 damage early this morning.
Fortunately none Of the three new in
cinerating furnaces recently installed
at the plant at cost OF $500 was
damaged. The alarm was sent in by
a fireman at the municipal electric
plant at 3 o'clock this morning and it
was not until two hours later that the
firemen succeeded in completely ex.
tinguishing the blaze.
A wood flooring Of double thickness
extends over the furnaces. An over
heated furnace charred this flooring
and lively blaze resulted. So intense
was the heat that the rivets OF a Sec
ton of the west ironsheet wall melted,
opening large gap in this wall. This
proved to be fortunate as it provided
an avenue for the flames to escape
and undoubtedly prevented the de-
struction of the roof Of the building.
Practically all the floor was destroyed.
It was difficult fire for the firemen
to combat They had to get under the
floor and between the furnaces to
work effectively.
No insurance is carried on the build
ing, nor has any ever been carried
because of the almost proh1b1tlve
rates demanded.
The plant was in service again this
forenoon. The board of works an
nounces that a concrete floor will be
placed in the building.

Austrian Authorities Flee
and Turbulent Crowds
Smash Shops and Resi-
dences as Enemy Approach
ARMIES MOVE NORTH
Destruction of Italian Torpe-
do Boat Destroyer and
Other Naval Losses Swell
Death List to 200.

ROME. May 29-All efforts of che
Austrians to check the Italian invas-
ion of Trent and Istria have failed and
the advance continues successfully at
every point.
1t is unofficiauy reported that the
Austrian authorities have left Trieste
and that the city has been abandoned
to the mercy of turbulent mobs. The
Italian forces which occupied Grads
ca have crossed the Isonzo river and
are pushing southwark toward Mon
falcone. A severe artillery duel along
the heights of the Isonzo demonstrated
the superiority of the Italian guns.
A dispatch from Milan says that
part of Trieste was destroyed by fire
set by mobs. The office of the Italian
newspaper Piccolo in Trieste was
fired as well as many shops and resi-
dences. The mob cut off the water
supply so that the fire could not be
put out. Italian outposts have been
established 20 miles from Triests. The
Austrian forces in the valley of the
Chiese river are falling back. 1t was
here that the Germans were reported
to have massed soldiers.
The Italian torpedo boat destroyer
Turbine was sent to the bottom by her
own crew off Tola to avoid capture by
the Austrians. The Italian casualties
in the naval operation were said to be
200.
The Italian army of invasion in
Trent has occupied Storo and has
stormed the Austrian defenses upon
Mount Tremalzo.
Italian artillery has bombarded the
valley of the Fella, wrecking an Aus
trian ammunition train that was on
the way to the front. Riva, an i'm
portant Austrian stronghold at the ex-
treme north end Of Lake Garda, has
been violently bombarded.

MIA Incident Handed to
Ambassador Gerard Some
Time on Saturday.
DIPLOMATS ANXIOUS
Fear Diplomatic Quibbling
of Germany Will Cloud Is
sue and Prolong Settle
ment of Controversy.

WASHINGTON, May 2s.-It was
learned at the state department today
that forecast of the German reply
TO President Wilson's note on the
Lusitania had reached the department
and that the note itself is expected to
arrive in Washington tonight.
While the character of this forecast
was guarded carefully it is understood
Ambassador Gerard in Berlin repre-
sented the German government az
evading the direct issue raised by the
President by asking for a diplomatic
discussing OF the vessels legal status
attacked by the Germans.
The reply is said to be friendly In
its tone.
The impression reflected by state
department officials was that Ger
many would yield however stubborn
her mood to the humane appeal
voiced by President Wilson.
A warning to American vessels
plainly to mark their neutral charac-
ter and brilliantly illuminate such
markings in the night while in the
war zone about Great Britain has been
suggested by the German foreign Of
flee to Ambassador Gerard in Berlin,
as result of the torpedoing of the
Gulflight. This was announced today
in a formal statement by the state de-
partment.
This statement to Ambassador Ger
ard is the first official admission by
Germany to the United States that
the Gulflight was torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine. The commander of
the submarine reported to Berlin that
he was unable to identify the nation
ality of the vessel he attacked, owing
to darkness.

Wilson Works on Note
Threatening Intervention
if Food COnfiscation by
Factions Keeps Up.
SITUATION IS ACUTE
Thousands of Mexicans Are
Starving While Factional
Bands Rob and Pillage
Towns and Villages.

WASHINGTON, May GA sharp
and unequivocal warning will be
served on both Mexican factions by
President Wilson next Tuesday. His
note will not be an ultimate, but it
will be clear and will demand immed-
late compliance This was learned
from high official source today. The
president already has written his
statement, subject to the approval by
the cabinet. 1t deals largely with the
threatening situation caused by the
confiscation of food in Mexico.
That conditions in Mexico are much
worse than the administration is will
ing to admit was indicated today.
Many thousands of the people are said
to be facing starvation and relief
measures are imperative. Although
the president and his advisers will not
admit that there is to be armed inter-
vention, it is believed force will be
used, If necessary to relieve existing
conditions.
Hope to Avoid Use Of Arms.
The movement to aid the starving
may have to be undertaken by the
United States naval and military
forces
The radical alteration of the admin
istration's Mexican policy became
known following the publication of an
appeal by President Wilson to the
American people for funds and dona-
tions.
simultaneously with the issuance of
this appeal. Secretary Tumulty an
nounced that a Statement from the
president on the situation might be
expected within the next few days"
New Policy.
The new policy adopted is in sub
stance:
The Carranza, Villa, Zapta. Cienti-
fico and all other factions are formally
notified by the United States that con-
ditions in Mexico have become intoler-
able from the view point of civiliza-
tion and humanity.
The United States serves notice
that unless the distress of the starving
Mexican people is speedily relieved and
en- orderly government established it
will be necessary to employ the
American army and navy and to adopt
such other measures as seems ad-
visable for the relief of the innocent
victims of anarchy.
THE United States does not intend
to annex Mexico and will intervene as
a last resort no longer than is neces-
sary to relieve the distress Of the
people and establish stable govern
ment.
The administration deems 1t i'm
rerative to act at once to supply ample
food in those districts of Mexico where
starvation impends and will send
trops if necessary to protect the ship
ment and delivery of supplies.
IF any Of the factional leaders is
able to establish an orderly govern
ment he will be recognized as presi-
dent of Mexico by the United States
and be aided in the relief of distress. -
