were unconscious led to the early re-
port that many had been killed.
A surgeon attached to the Polytechnic
hospital reported that one injured
woman had died in an ambulance on
her way to the hospital
Two hundred persons in all were TAX

but as far as he knew, with this one ex-
ception none had been fatally injured.
Unofficial reports gave the cause of
the fire as collision between express
trains. At the time of the fire the
subway contained smoke from a pre-
vious fire. extinguished only a few
minutes before at the Spring street
station. 1t was shortly before $3.50
o'clock that wisps of smoke began to
curl from the manholes along Broad
way between the two stations. The spot
where the fire burned fiercest was op-
posite Fifty-sixth street. Hampered in
their efforts to reach the blaze the
firemen dug into the pavement with
their axes. They succeeded in making
a hole above the subway at Fifty-tfird
street. From this opening belched a
volume of smoke and flames as if from
a crater. Hose was directed through
the opening and even hand extinguish-

For ten blocks the streets were lined
with the ambulances that came from
all over the city. A Gordon thrown
around Broadway by the police held in
check tens of thousands of spectators.

For the first time in the history of

Course Left, He Declares.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Senator Lodge
attacked President Wilson's Mexican
policy in the senate today during a
review of the urgent deficiency bill.
The error of the administration S
course, he said. had begun with the
refusal to recognize General Huerta
on moral grounds rather than on the
broader international grounds on
which it could have been based.
The spectacle Of the United States
at war with Victoriano Huerta, Sena-
tor Lodge said, was not a pleasing one
for Americans to contemplate.

him there would be no resistance.

stomach for the unexpected fight and
took shelter beneath the A. B. c. me-
diation."
With the departure of Huerta, Sena-
tor Lodge said the object of the presi-
dent had been accomplished but the
policy of the United States had not ad-
vanced one step.

Anarchy is too polite a name for it.
The social order has collapsed. l fear
it is too late now to adopt any policy
unless it be military occupation, which

The senator asserted 200 American
lives had been lost in Mexico without
reparation being secured or demanded
"Fffty-two Americans recently have
been killed or wounded on the border
at Naco." the senator continued. Gen
eral Scott said il there was any more

was more shooting after the genera

been prevented from stopping it.
