Since Going Under Serious
Surgical Operation
SPECULATION ABOUT
BOULEVARD BUILDING

General T. Coleman DUPONT, who
went under a surgical operation more
than three months ago at Rochester,
Minnesota, returned home at IL o'clock
today. He is wonderfully improv-
ed in health and apparently has re-
covered entirely. He has gained fifty
five pounds since the operation, which
will be welcome news to his many
friends.
General and Mrs. DUPONT went to
California. where he has been con-
valescing and upbuilding his health
Mrs. DUPONT returned to Wilmington
last week, but General dupont
stopped in Kentucky to look after
some business interests.
Many persons are wondering wheth-
er he will resume construction of the
DUPONT boulevard, in the face of the
refusal of the Legislature to amend
the boulevard corporations law in a
manner that would permit roadbuild-
ing without delays. even when appeals
from condemnation proceedings were
pending.

NEW YORK, April 10.-with his
mission shrouded in mystery, Victor
iano Huerta, ousted provisional pres
ident of Mexico. was nearing here on
the Spanish liner Antonio Lopez. The
ship is due here within the next As
hours.
Despite Huerta's declaration OF
Harmless intention, immigration and
other government authorities declar-
ed today that he would be rigidly ex-
amined. It is not probable, however,
that Huerta will be held as an al
legged undesirable alien" but will be
prevented from using the United
States as base for meddling in Mex
lean affairs.
Many Huerta adherents in exile
here intend TO meet Huerta's boat
His former secretary of war, General
Banquet, is said TO be here incog-
nito Francisco Madero. father OF
the Mexican president whom Huerta
is charged with numbering, is living
here. He and other Maderistas and
members of the Carranza junta dc
not intend to oppose Huerta's land
ing.
Opinion was expressed today by
some Of the Mexicans that Huerta will
not land and will not leave the ship
but Will proceed to Havana direct.

SECOND FIRE
CAUSES SCARE

That at least one OF the many fires
which have broken out in the city
lately was of incendiary origin is now
believed by the police. The opinion
was strengthened shortly after z
o'clock last evening. when James
Howard, colored. while passing the
vacant house at No COS Christiana
street. discovered blaze in the build
ing and extingushed the blaze
Another fire of an unknown origin
was discovered IN the rear of the
building No. S39 King street about
o'clock this morning. This blaze was
in a shed used for storage purposes
and the district fire companies, which
responded, extinguished the blaze. The
loss amounted TO about $3.50.
The King street building is occupied
by Antonio Saleui. who conducts fruit
and produce market there and lives
in the upper floors of the building with
his wife and two children. Mr.. Salcni
was aroused from his slumbers by the
smoke and soon awakened his family,
who found shelter in the front of the
uWtNlnEs y cItNu arrived at lne scene
during the fire. The flames were kept
from spreading to the building proper,
although they had begun 10 eat their
way through the woodwork of the door
on the first floor.
The illumination Of the fire as the
flames broke through the roof of the shed
caused many to think a big fire was in
progress.
While the fire companies were COM
batting the King street blaze someone
sent in an alarm from box No. ,, Tenth
and Orange streets, and many persons
thought a second alarm had been sent in
When the firemen arrived at box No.
no signs of a fire was found
Another false alarm was sounded
about ten o'clock from box No. AZ,
when II was thought a fire was at No.
10S Heald street, but when the dis
trict firemen arrived no traces of a
fire was found.
While this alarm was being record

popular airs. Before the dinner
started an ovation was given TO
Charles H. Meissner, the retiring
physical director.
In his opening speech, Mr.. Thomp-
son said:
"I want 10 talk to the association
about the financial conditions which
we have been staggering under this
year. We have to curtail in the mat
ter of expenses. Our policy has been
this year one of retrenchment. We
have handled IL in the right way. AS
this association is not self-sustaining
in order to carry the religious. boys,
educational and physical departments
we have TO raise $4,000 from contribu-
tcrs. Last September we realized
that this year would be a bad one. We
knew we would lose receipts from
dormitories, also lose some members.
In a conference with Mr.. Colbert, our
general secretary. he agreed with me
that we we're facing a difficult year.
We proposed TO maintain the associ-
alton on a line which would keep MS
ont of debt. The result is that we
are in a better financial condition
than we we're a year ago, and / can
not see that any department has lost

Russia Satisfied
With the Progress
Along the Front

PETROGRAD Oct. 23.-Russia military
authorities regard the situation along the
entire front of approximately SIS miles
as favorable from their point of view.
Three days ago the German efforts be-
tween Mitau and the Gulf Of Riga pre-
scented a serious problem. At the present
time the status in that sector IL con-
sidered by the Russians as satisfactory.
The Germans have been checked and their
sphere of action Is being narrowed con-
stantly.
Eastward the Russians are success
fully pressing the Germans, gaining
ground in many places Their most con-
siderable success recently has been at
Postavy. This town was taken and the
Germans were driven westward tn ,ough
Duka, in a fierce battle.
From that vicinity, south to the
Baranovichi region, there is little ac-
tivity at present In the immediate vicin-
ity of Baranovichi the Russians are still
on the offensive.
In Galicia, the Russians are following
up their successes at Novo Alexinetz. 1t
is stated that three German divisions
were cut to pieces there.
The Russian authorities attributed their
successes to the vigor of the Russian at
tack, the exhaustion of German troops
and the increasing difficulties of trans
portation with which the Austrians and
Germans have to contend. 1t is stated,
however, that the Germans have detached
two armies for service in Serbia. These
