Big La France Engines, Cost ing $6OOO Each, Will Make Bisbee Best Protected Town in Arizona.
TRUCKS TO ARRIVE
 WITHIN 4 MONTHS
Each Will Throw 1000 Gal Ions a Minute and Pump Water if Needed - Marks Victory in Long Fight.

Two six-cylinder, one hundred and five horse power combination truck and chemical wagons, with auxiliary pumps, were purchased last evening by the city of Bisbee from the Ameri' can La France Fire Engine Company Inc, of Elmira, New York. The con tract, to be signed by both parties within the next few days, calls for an expenditure of S12,0OO. Thomas Baird represented the fire engine company in the bidding.
 The purchase of two motor trucks last evening is the continuation of more than two years of constant work on the part of the council, the fire chief and all of those who favor great CT efficiency, at a reduced expense, in the fighting of fire. With the ever tion of upkeep, while apparatus is not in use, the motor truck has come into general use. On every side of Bisbee cities have seen the need of such ap- paratus and this community is the last to fall in line. Tucson, Douglas, Nogales, Phoenix, and several other towns are equipped with them.
 Bisbee, with the arrival of the
 pair purchased last evening, will
 be the better protected, propor-
 tionateIy, than any city in the
 state.
 According to the specifications and bid proposal each truck will cost the city S6,000 This includes every de- tail of construction, the latest and proved models of apparatus for the most efficient fire fighting and a guar antee with the machines that protects them against faulty workmanship and material as long as they may be in use. The city has budgeted S5,000 for this purpose and, it is understood, the balance of the payments will be made in three years.
 The motor of the trucks. purchased. is a six cylinder affair, four cycle, 51a inch bore and inch stroke, making 105 horse power. The cylinders are CdoI pans. nt Ol the entire machine, which has a wheel base of 155 3-4 inches. is twen- ty two feet, making it capable of easy handling in the narrow streets and alleys of the city of Bisbee The chemical equipment consists of a for ty gallon tank, with reel, 200 feet Of chemical hose, nosles, wreches, etc Pumping equipment, which is for use when pressure is low, will consist of an apparatus, designed and made by the American La France Company. capable of pumping 1000 gallons of water per minute, 250 gallons through each of four hoses.
 With the apparatus the selling com pany sends an installing engineer who will stay on the ground until such time as the local men are fully capable of handling every part of the machinery. One of the machines will take the place of the horse-drawn wagon at the city hall and the other will supplant that in Upper Tomb stone Canyon. According to Baird. the representative of the company, the trucks can reasonably be expected in Bisbee in about four months time.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 29-A life preserver marked Bremen" the name of the German submarine freighter which has been generally expected to arrive at some Atlantic coast port for the past week or more, was picked up on the ocean side of Cape Elizabeth today.
 The name Bremen" was stenciled in black letters two inches high on both sides of the buoy. On one side of the canvas covering was printed a small crown. Over this were the words "Shutz-Marke" meaning patent ed. or trade mark. Beneath are the words, "vepping-Hoven. Wilheimshav- en-" This indicated, apparently, the name of the maker.
 The preserver seemed to be new and apparently had not been in the water a great length of time. It was stained with oil. An officer of the coast guard cutter service who ex- amined the buoy said that if the pre-  server had been thrown overheard by someone who thought to play a prac- tical joke. he had done a very good job.
 The preserver was we'll made and the lettering and the ink were of the best quality.
 The buoy was picked up at small place known as Maiden Cove. by 10 year old lad. Frederick L. Takeman of Westbrook. A number of other per sons were nearby at the time and saw the boy pick up the object from the beach near the waters edge. The buoy later was taken to a newspaper office where 1t was photographed and examined by many seafaring men.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 6.-Dis-

of these lines, it would have whole
some effect on the producers in gem

unwilling to accept the railroads eX-
cuse of insufficient cars to handle
the coal as explaining the shortage.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
Ell PASO, Texas, Nov. 6.-Every
energy Of the U. S. state department
today is beirg directed toward OBJ
tanning knowledge Of the fate of ten
Americans known to have been in
Parral. And apprehension aroused
fever heat on the arrival Of four
Americans last night, who fed from
ParraI. bringing further reports Ct
the murder Of Or. Fisher, aged Amer
ican in Santa Rosalia by Villista
bandits.
After hunting down and killing DR..
Fisher. the bandits told the inhabi-
tants Of the town they were "going
to Parral and kill those gringoes',"
natives reaching Chihuahua City after
the raid told the refugees. In other
quarters here hope is held out that
the Americans were able to escape
before the bandits reached Parral.
Representatives of mining companies
employing some Americans declare
their belief that the men are safe,
but admit their anxiety has been
aroused by the lack of news. In a
message to the United Press, General
Trevino, commander of the Mexican
defacto garrison at chihuahua City,
stated he was unable to obtain any
news Of the fate Of Americans.
Communication still cut Off" said
the telegram from Trevino, "and hago
no information from Parral. Making
efforts to get rews."
On the same train bringing the
American refugees last night were
the families of two staff officers Of
Trevino and the families of seven
French residents of the Chihuahua
capital leaving there in fear that
Villa will next attack that city. They
crossed to the American side of the
river. Every foreigner coming out
predicts that the city will be eva 2u-
ated if Villa makes another attack.
w. E. Phillips, secretary of the
Y. NJ. G. A of Chihuahua City was
one of the refugees.
'1t is almost certain Fisher was
killed." he said. "a well known
native cattleman who came overland
from Santa Rosalia declared that the
doctor hid when the bandits raided

ed down and stabbed to death.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Tomorrow

senate and chooses members of the
house of representatives.
Viewing the situation today, twenty.
-four hours In advanc6 OF the battle Of

democrats and republicans Of cock sure

New York, Illinois, Ohio and Indiana
would come the nearest to holding the
balance of power.
Both sides claim this "big four" OF

college is 113-nearly 43 per cent of
the 266 votes necessary to a choice.

granted by the democrats a handicap
from scratch of seventy votes-the
electoral total of six states, Maine,

That leaves Wilson with a net
handicap in the vote race of sixty-siX
shares in the electoral college.
But unless there is a cataclysm in
the voting tomorrow, the strictly neu-
trails admit that the 113 votes of the

turning point in the election. The
democrats claimed all four today; SO
Did the republicans.
In Illinois lies the real enigma
close to 100000 new women voters. Be-
cause they are new in their exercise OF
the franchise and because they are
women, political prognosticators were
exceedingly shy in making any pre-
dictions On the Sucker state today.
In New York-the state with the
Dig forty-five votes in the electoral
college, the problem the republicans
laced was to keep the New York City
normal democratic majority down and
boost up the normal republican up
state majority to as high a point as
possible. Publicly last minute claims
were:
Republicans: Hughes will win New
York by from 100000 to 10000.
