FIRE DESTROYS sToREHoUsE.
New England Power Company Suffer
Loss of $4,000.

SHELBURNE FALLS, June 10. -
The New England Power company
storehouse at the No. plant was de-
stroyed by fire last night at an esti-
mated damage of $4,000 Lyman Bond
sent in the alarm from box So At 9.n5
p. m. The cause of the fire is un-
known, but it probably started in the
blacksmith shop and as there was oil
in the building it was only few min
utes before the building was a mass
of flames. There were three distinc:
explosions, one caused by the gaso-
line tank on q Ford automobile, which
was destroyed. There were about six
chests of carpenters tools which were
more or less damaged, also quite a
number of parts of electrical machin-
cry. The all-out signal sounded about
1890. The automobile was covered
by insurance. Owing to the damp
ness caused b. the recent rain and to
the fact that the building was about
100 yards from the nearest building
no other damage was done.

Demonstrations
AMERICANS LEAVING IN
INCREASING NUMBERS
Carranza's 8 Control Over Demonstrators
Said to be Doubtful-American Expe-
dition So Closely Concentrated That
No Fear is Felt for It.

WASHINGTON, June 10. - Anti
American demonstrations in northern
Mexico continue, according to official
adviees received here yesterday, partic-
ularly in the states of chihuahua, San
Luis Potosi and Nuevos Leon. and al
though the manifestations thus far
have been confined mostly to speech
making, consular agents have reported
that the temper of the people appears
such that any eventuality might be
possible.
Americans are leaving for the bor-
der in increasing numbers. Under pre-
vious instructions, state department
agents in Mexico are giving every pos
slble aid. In addition, border agents
have been instructed to urge those
seeking to return to Mexico to stav on
the American side of the border for
the present.
Officials here showed considerable un-
easiness over the situation. While no
overt act is anticipated in any
region under the well-established CON
troll Of Carranza troops, there appears
/ to be areas where the de facto govern
| ment s hold over the people is not
! strong. Some reports said the demon
/ strations were in part melted by agi-
/ tators pretending to be Carranza adj
J herents
/ n mass meeting was held at SaltilIo
/ Thursday night at which many
/ speeches resenting the presence of
American troops in Mexico were made.
/ Similar meetings have been held or are
1 contemplated at other points. The only
/ violence against American property re.
ported was at Chihuahua City and at
/ Monterey, where there are no consular
agents.
Statements from Americans reaching
the border and also from consular
agents in Mexico have indicated that
while Gen. Carranza s forces were try
ing to overawc the demonstrators
their control was not to he depended
on entirely in some districts. Tht
agitators, some officials fear. ma,

an attempt to expel Gen Pershing z

There is nothing to Indicate that Car
