CARELESS SHOOTING
BULLET FROM TARGET RIFLE
ENTERS j. III. COLES HOME.

Somebody in West Eighth street is
altogether too careless in their rifle
shooting. While j. II. Cole and fam
lily Of I'll West Eighth street were
sitting at the table partaking Of their
MONDAY meal, a bullet crashed
through their door, sped across the
room, missing Mrs. Cole by a frac-
ton of an inch, and striking the
stove, where it was flattened by the
impact, indicating that the bullet
came with sufficient force TO cause a
perhaps fatal wound had Mrs. Cole
been struck by it. Examination
showed that the inside of the door at
the point where the bullet entered
was splintered and torn. Mr.. Cole
at once went outside, but could see
no one who had likely fired the shot,
although he had at times heard
shooting and observed boys with guns
in the vicinity without more than
giving them passing attention. Mr..
Cole reported the occurrence to Chief
of Police W%inesburg, who is investi-
eating the matter, and men or boys
who own target rifles or air guns had
better cease shooting or they may be
called into police court for violating
a city ordinance-or answer to a
more serious crime if somebody is
killed or injured by promiscuous bull
lets crashing into their homes.

The United States has sent a
warning to Carranza, pointing out
that serious consequences may fol-
low his threatened confiscation of
foreign owned oil plants in Tampico
Announcement was made by Secre-
tary Bryan after conference with Sir
Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambas-
sador and representatives of Ameri-
can oil concerns. AS the British fleet
obtains much of its fuel oil from the
Tampico fields, the possibility of scri-
Gus complications over the Carranza
governments attitude is fully realized
by the American government
Already Carranza officials have
prac ctically enforced the embargo on
the expectation of oil by big Eng
lsh company The British ambas-
sador at the suggestion of Bryan,
sent an urgent telegram to the Bri-
tish consul at Vera Cruz. which he
was instructed to show to Carranza
Bryan said that foreign owned oil
companies feared confiscation of
their well'' by Carranza and that ur-
gent representations have been made
to forestal such action
\ decree has been issued by the
Carranza government which makes it
impossible for some foreign oil COM
panies to operate without the consent
of the Mexican authorities and some
American concerns. it is said, have
been forced to pay such a heavy tax
that they have been practically com
PEELED to shut down their plants. The
prospect of a battle on the outskirts
of Tampico between advancing forces
of Villa and columns of Carranza
troops under Gonzales is expected
here to develop the situation further.
If Villa wins a solution of the prob
lem is confidently expected because
of previous assurances by him.

LONDON, Jan. 15-Sir Edward Grey,
British foreign secretary. received a
dispatch from the state department at
Washington asking if there would be
any objection to the former Hamburg
American line steamer Dacia, which
now flies the American flag, making
the trip from New orleans to Bremen
with 4 cargo of cotton without estab-
fishing a precedent as to the sale of
German ship to Americans. The for
eign office is considering the situation,
but has reached no decision
1t can be said on high authority, that
Go not look with favor on the PROPOSE
tion and still feel the Dacia should not
enter German trade under any condi-
tions. The change of the vessels des-
tination from Bremen to Rotterdam is
not regarded as altering the case ma
terially. Should cotton be shipped on
the Dacia for German trade, it seems
likely the cargo will be bought by Great
Britain if the Dacia is held for prize
court, on the ground that her sale was
not bonafide

of the majority of the ships which have

the war by France or Great Britain

Auezzan0 Thy0nged
With Anxious Ones
Seeking Relatives

ANEZZANO. Jan. Il. - From all
PARTS of Italy there came to Avez-
2ano anxious relatives of persons who
we're liking here when the city was
RACED by the earthquake on Wednes-
day morning They had believed that
the descriptions Of the destruction
wrought were exaggerated and were
stunned when confronted with the
mounds Of masonry which represent
all that is left Of the town.
Many of the visitors realized at
once the utter uselessness in search
ing for friends and relatives; but
mothers, more hopeful, climbed aim
lesslv over the debris for hours, trust
ing. to find some landmark which
would aid them in tracing loved ones.
Among these searchers many were
successful in locating the wrecked
homes OF relatives or friends:
Frantic. many Of the searchers threw
themselves upon the ruins and called
upon their loved ones to answer them.
They appealed for help in attempting
TO remove the stones, unmindful Of
their lacerated hands. cut by the
Jagged stones and broken glass. Ere
ouentlv searchers collapsed.
Seldom did q visitor find a rela-
tive or friend alive These rare re
unions We're marked by demonstra-
tions of JOY. These exhibitions OF
delight made all the deeper the grief
Of those who searched without sue
cess.
Rescue work in this devastated
town is becoming a ghastly and
nerve -racking task. The mutilated
bodies of the tcwnspeople extricated
from the ruins are being laid along
the road which once led to the rail-
way station Some of the bodies are
unrecognzable, and frequently are
claimed rs bodies of relations by diff
ferent persons.
During the night the work Of rescue
was continued by torchlight and the
Pickering shadows made it appear as
though the walls were about to fall.
Some did collapse, each as result of
the earth shocks still occurring or
because the debris supporting them
was removed by the workmen.
As the work Of rescue goes on it
becomes more and more apparent that
many of the inhabitants did not die
of injuries sustained in the earth
quake. but as 2 result Of becoming
exhausted and frozen during the long
hours of the winter night.
