Surrounding the bath quarters are
rows of cells, mostly filled with pris-

caught in the flames. Release from
the cells was slow and dangerous and
it was in these that most of the fatali-
ties occurred.

score or more left seriously injured
was the toll of an explosion and fire
late today at the city jail The name
of one American is included in the
list OF dead and twelve are numbered
among those seriously burned. Sur

many of the injured would not live
more than few hours.
Charles Phelps, an American motor
man, was shot and seriously wounded
while running his car in Juarez to-
night by a man wearing the uniform
of a Mexican officer. The shooting,
according to the Mexican consul here,
followed a report in Juarez that 200
Mexicans had been jailed and burn
ed to death here.
H. NJ. Cross, an American who died
of injuries, was named as the man
who struck the match which caused
the fire, in a statement made by ii.
D. Baby, one Of the trustees on guard.
His home is said to have been in
Davenport, Iowa.
Thirty-eight, it was said early TO-

SEVEN MORE SHIPS
|. NEEDED TO MAKE NAVY
READY FOR CONFLICT

Washington, March 6.--Three
dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers
added to the American fleet, built and
authorized, would make it the equal
i'll fighting strength to the present
German fleet, Admiral Fletcher, com.
mander of the Atlantic ,1ieet, declared
today before the house naval commit
tee. ''.@' .@'.#
While Germany has seven battle
cruisers and the United States none,
the admiral said the 35-knot crafts
proposed by the navy department
would be so much superior to any
thing now af1oat that four of them,
possibly three, would more than Offset
the seven German boats.
With the present fleet of AZ battle
ships of all types, three additional
dreadnoughts and seven battle cruis-
ers, the admiral thought "he could
reasonably make dood defense, al
though not an absolute one" of both
coasts against any combination of
two enemy powers that did not in
clude Great Britain.

Chicago, March 6.-Vice-president
Marshal in an address tonight before
the Chicago Bar association, paid tri-
butte to Associate Justice Charles
Hughes for his refusal to permit his
name to be considered for the repub-

How splendid tribute to that
great body, the supreme court, it is
that Mr.. Justice Hughes has promptly
refused to permit his name to be
used as candidate for president of
the United States,' said the vice
president.
This refusal makes him as great
an American as though he were presi-
dent, pulled hither and thither by the
contending hopes and fears of ambl-
tious politicians"
The vice president staunchly up
held President Wilson in his diplo-
matte negotiations with nations at
war.

Lincoln, the future will write of
