Chicopee, Lawrence, Lowell and Wor-
cester-rema1n in the license column, al
though in Chelsea, Chicopee and Lowell

prevailed for number of years and in
the absence of important contests for

The mayors successful in seeking re.
election were Harold Sweet in Attic

George w. Newhall in Lynn, Charles

Gonzales, Governor of Chi
huahua, Makes Surpris-
ing Statement
SAYS SACRED SOIL
is DESIGNATED
Wants to Bring About Retirement of
the American Punitive Expedition -
Praises Efforts of Carranza to Pre-
serve Autonomy

Ell PASO, Tex, Dee. Is. Gen.
Arnufo Gonzales, provisional governor
of Chihuahua, declared in his first proc
lamation to the people after the re-
occupation of Chihuahua City by Car
rama troops that he would soon be
ready to join the first chief in bring
ing about the retirement of the Ameri-
can punitive expedition.
An original copy of the printed mani
festo, which is dated December 6, was
brought here yesterday from chihuahua
by a refugee.
Gen. Gonzales began his proclamation
by saying that the people have the right
to know the line of action their gov
ernors intend to pursue while in office.
. The state of Chihuahua he con
tinued, must lament the disgrace of
seeing its sacred soil desecrated by the
proud Saxton troops, misfortune that
the bandit Villa caused with his deeds
at Columbus. As these deeds not only
injure the sovereignty of the state, but
also of the country, it is to the central
government that belongs the solution
of this conflict which threatens the ma
tion itself.
1.-The patriotic attitude of the first
chief in the face of this lamentable in
cideat is well known to all Mexicans.
His forces have not a single moment
ceased to work toward a solution of the
same by diplomatic ways, preserving ma
tional pride and autonomy.
Ito support this attitude in our
sphere of action will be always salts
faction to the government of this state.
which may soon be ready to unite its
forces to those of the general govern
ment to bring about that the forces of
Pershing 5 punitive expedition, so well
known but so unjustifed, may with
draw as soon as possible from the
state
The remainder of the manifesto Gov.
Gonzales devotes to promises of edu-
cational, financial and internal reforms
and of clearing out the rebels.

PADDED CELL FIRE
CAUSES $4,000 LOSS
Giguere Set the Lewiston, Maine. City
Hall Ablaze to Burn Christ

LEWISTON, Me-, Dee. Is. The
Lewiston city buildings were damaged
about $4,000 by a fire Monday, which
was set by Ernest Giguere, aged 30,
who was confined in the padded cell at
the police station for examination as to
his sanity.
The fire burned up into the assessors
office and got between the walls to some
extent on the second floor. The loss is
covered by insurance.

lie was arrested Sunday afternoon in
Ash street, after he had taken off his
outer clothing, and was threatening to
do damage to anyone who approached
him. He had big double bladed knife
IN his hand. He was taken after some
struggling to the police station and
placed in the padded cell.
Several times during the night he
created a disturbance and finally
Roundsman Libby discovered that he
had broken the glass in the barred
window and the officers went outside
and looked through the window to see
what he was doing. They found that
he had torn holes in the padding of the
cell and was scattering the excelsior
over the floor. As they watched him he
suddenly scratched match and set fire
to the excelsior. He had nothing on
but his underclothes, and it is a mystery
to the police where he obtained the
match. The officers fastened to unlock
the cell door, when Giguere ran out

hand extinguishers. The fire was al
ready beyond their control, however,
and an alarm called out the department.
Giguere came to Lewiston from Can
ada about a month ago and lives with
his wife and child in Maple street.
His insanity seems to be in the ma
ture of religious mania, and was first
manifested Sunday afternoon when he
was refused admission to the Salvation
