Terrible Scenes Accompany the Holocaust. Mems Hair Burned From Bodies; No Chance to Escape.

FL PASo, March 6.-Eighteen victims of the jail Explosion are dead and more. expected. to die before daylight. Phelps is in a hospital and his condition is said to be critical.
 FL PASO, March 6.-Six. pri- sohers were burned to death and forty seriously injured in a fire in the city jail bath house started by blaze from a flash flame in tub of gasoline and kerosene solution used to destroy a germ carrying lice. The first reports Of the officials attributed the fire to the edliberate action of a prison CT in throwing a match into the tub. More than score Of prison CTS were thoroughly saturated and enVeIoped by flames. inc exists were opened and number of prisoners escaped, although burn ed. Rows of cells surrounding the bath were mostly filled. Here most of the fatalities occurred. The flames were extinguished be- fore the new part of the jail caught fire.
 H. Cross, an American, died of his injuries. He named the man who threw the match. On fire from head to foos, nude victims dashed into the street, maddened with pain. They outdistanced their pursuers and disappeared. Only one was found several hours after the disaster. Every hair was burned from the heads of the Vic- tims and the flash of many was crisped. One climbed through a broken window to the roof of the prison and died like a torch be- fore the firemen arrived. The doc tor issued an order against mat ches.

LINES IN HOUSE ARE WIDER
 APART
Trouble for the Administra- ton is Expected When Arm ed Ship Resolution Comes Up for Vote.

WASHINGTON. March 6.-On the eve of what friends of the Admilistra- tion have planned as final nsht 10 end agitation in the House over the question Of armed merchant ships a debate broke on the floor of the House and continued hotly for an hour. When it was over there seemed to exist a more partisan alignment than at any time since the issue arose.
 Representative Mann of Illinois. Re publican leader. and Representative Lenroot of the Republican Rules Com mittee. gave notice that they would oppose the rule tomorrow under which il is proposed to table the McLenore resolution. after the ninety minutes Of debate rule and four hours of discus sion of the resolution. Chairman Flood of the Foreign Affairs. is understood personally to favor the warning reso- lution but was appealed to by patriot ic congressmen to stand by the Presi- dent.
 Realizing the task ahead, Admins trstion whips sent calls to all absent Democrats within reach to hurry to Washington in time 10 vate. The Pres ident's supporters believe large ma iority of Democrats and many Repub- licans will stand together and put through a rule to kill the NcLenore resolution.
 Formidable opposition is expected both in and out of the party and the influence of Bryan is taken into ae- count as a big factor 10 be dealt with. Fourteen representatives and two sen ators met al a lunch with Bryan in the private dining room of hotel near the Capitol and discussed affairs. What happened was kept secret. except that no general agreement was reached con corning action on the armed ships question.
 Several of the diners asked Bryan what We should do." said Representa- tive Bailey. but instructions were not forthcoming"
 Because of the necessity of trans lating the German appendices. the President and Secretary Lansing have not yet had opportunity to consider them in their entirety. Probably they will be ready tomorrow. Colonel House who returned from Europe yesterday is understood to have advised the President that Germany feels justified in her new policy and is not bluning. Colonel House reported that Germany has no desire for war with the United States.
 TheGerman Foreign Onice claims the appendices offer conclusive evi- dence that British merchantmen are using defensive armament against reu tonic submarines. It is suthoritstively stated that the British will contend that the instructions Ia merchantmen has DO, in any way violated tue sssurs anees given the United States that their merchantmen will use the arms- meut only for defense. -s

NEW PETITIONS !. ON BOND ISSUE
 PROBABLE
Conflicting Desires of Two Associations Withdrawn Hunt Made County Phisi- clan.

TOMBSTONE, March 6.-(Special) The board of supervisors was in session today attending to the usual monthly business. The question of the appointment of a superintendent of the Board of Health was taken up and Dr. J. w. Hunt, of Bisbee, was appointed to fill the place made va. cant by the resignation of Dr. Patton.
 Dr. F. w. Hawley, of Bisbee, was given the contract for carrying for the indigent sick in the Warren District at the rate of S75O.OO per year.
 Dr. Wilson, of Wilcox, was given the contract for that place
 The board checked over the month ly accounts of the various officers and they were approved.
 The petitions for the road bond is. sued, filed by both the Taxpayers As sociation and the Road Bond Associa. tion, were both withdrawn and it is understood that compromise plan will be adopted by the two associa- tions and new petitions will be cir culated. It was conceded by both fac. tions that neither issue could carry without the support of the other side It now looks as though some sort of an issue will be fixed so that an cleo tion can be called before long.
 The board. with the county attorney, went to the county treasurer's office and counted the cash as is required by law. There was the sum of $346.- S75.SS accounted for, divided as fol-

CONDITIONS IF TRAFFIC ARE
 ANNOYING
Automobile and Pedestrian Status Extremely Trouble some to Officers and Others in the District.

Traffic conditions in the Warren District continue to be the sourse of continual annoyance to officers, pede- strians and to motorists themselves. ment in Bisbee during the incumbency of a special traffic officer the general trend, at the present time. is to over ride the law and place the safety of the general public in jeopardy.
 This was noted particularly yester- day and Saturday, when the traffic on the streets and roads of the District was particularly heavy.
 There is going the rounds an epi- demic of thefts of cars which the of ficers find it exceedingly difficult to cope with. Over the week two were reported to the officers. both of which were found and returned to their rightful owners.
 One was a Ford which was taken by soldier from Douglas and brought to Bisbee. Officers Ruff and Kempton found the nfan on Brewery Gulch with the machine and arrested him. In bringing the car and the soldier to the city jail the soldier jumped from the machine and hurled over the embankment along Naco road.
 Later Officers Tex" Barton and Hill Ruff heard there was suspicious looking soldier lurking about Dub acher Canyon. Upon going to the they found their man and place dhim under arrest.
 Another case of joy riding" with another mans machine occurred night, when four or five Bis bee youngsters helped themselves to a Dodge car and used it for several hours.
 Another abuse of good traffic regu- lations was reported yes erday from Bakerville.
 Two cars were being driven towards Lowell along the paved roadway. The driver of the first car noticed a crowd of small children on the edge of the pavement He sounded his horn sev- eral times and when very close the youngsters fled and a man fell in front of the car.
 The driver swerved sharply to one side Had there been a culvert or ditch along the road at that point the automobile would have been badly The man. upon being in vestigated, proved to be a well made dummy. Needless to say. the drivers were greatly wrathy over the affair but little recourse could be had from the children who had decamped. This is merely another evidence of the prevailing conditions in the Warren District.
 In behalf of the officers it can be justly said that they are doing every thing in their power to eliminate the evils. It has been urged that the Sheriff put a special man on the road between Bisbee and Warren. The present officers. in attending ot their routine and ordinary work, have their hands full and can not attend 10 the work of traffic officer. It is thought that something will be done to alleviate the trouble in the near future. in order to prevent more seri- Dus accidents than are now occurring Dn the District streets and highways |
