Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Columbus, O.-As the first step in
the reorganization of the Continental
Coal Company, with headquarters in
Toledo, the company was thrown into
receiyership. Nicholas D. Monsar-
rat, who has been superintendent of
the company, was named receiver by
Federal District Judge John E. Safer
and placed under $4,000 bond. He
qualified and took charge at once
The company is the owner Of Is mines
IN the Hooking district These mines
and other property were turned over
to the Continental Coal Company only
a few days ago by the Sunday Greek
Coal Company. Monsarrat took
charge of them for the company The
details of the transaction by which the
Sunday Creek Company released the
properties was not made public and
it is not disclosed in the bill in equity,
which Judge Safer heard in cham
bers.
The mines have been idle for nearly
a year and the situation has been the
cause of much distress in the Hook
ing Valley, resulting last summer in
a statewide canvass for funds for the
distressed miners and their families
The announcement was made when
the Continental Coal Company took
the properties over that operation
would be begun. The intimation was
given that the first plan will be to put
the company on proper financial ba
sis so that it will be free of the mani
fold obligations which have consti
tuted large annual charges against it

AGREE ON TERMS OF PACT
Washington and Mexican officials in
Accord Over the Provision of
New Protocol.

Washington, March PA draft of
the protocol asked for by General Car
rama to govern the operations of the
American expedition in Mexico seek
ing Villa was agreed upon on Wednes-
day by Acting Secretary Polk and Eli
SEQ Arredondo, Mexican ambassador
designate. 1t was forwarded at once
to Carranza for approval and is ex-
pected to be in effect within a few
days.
Details of the proposed convention
will be withheld until it is signed 1t
is known, however, that it is designed
to minimize the possibility of misun-
derstandings between the two govern
ments by setting forth the rights of
each in the extraordinary circum-
stances existing and prescribing as far
as possible the methods of cooperation
to be pursued by the Mexican and
American troops in pursuit of the out
laws
Although the de facto government
sought the protocol, it's terms are en-
tirely in accord with the views of the
United States and no difficulty was
experienced by Mr.. Polk and Mr. Ar.
redondo in preparing it.

Akron, O.-Nearly $4,000 damage
resulted here from fire, which, nearly
destroyed the interior Of a six-story
building of the Firestone Tire and
Rubber Co. Akron's entire fire de-
partment fought the blaze for almost
three hours. The rubber burned furi-
ously, producing dense smoke and
fumes, which prevented firemen from
entering. Workmen on every floor left
the building when the alarm was
sounded, and all escaped uninjured
Several on upper floors were almost
suffocated from acid fumes before they
reached open air. The building was a
part of the reclaiming plant and did
not join main factory buildings.
