ONE WOMAN is CREMATED

San Francisco, Feb. 9.-Only one
life was known definitely today to have
been lost in fire that destroyed the
five-story Berkshire apartment house
here early this morning. A search of
the ruined building revealed no addi-
tional bodies. A score of persons, most
of them women, are in various hospi-
tails, however, suffering from burns
and injuries.
Before squads Of firemen and police
men entered the building at daybreak
it was believed that more than a score
Of persons had been trapped in the
upper floors of the five-story structure
and burned to death. The body found
was that of an elderly woman. but it
was so badly burned that identifica-
ton was not possible.
The fire broke out in a hallway on
the third floor; how neither police nor
firemen could say. The first alarm
came shortly after midnight and three
others within few minutes. had call
ed almost the city's entire fire fight
ing force to the scene.
! OCCUPANTS ESCAPE THINLY CLAD
Occupants Of the first and second
floors poured from the building, some
clad only in their night dresses. A
number of persons were carried down
ladders. Policemen and firemen car
ried others from the lower floor down
stairways and fire escapes.
Within half an hour after the first
alarm the fire had pierced through the
roof and it's glare lighted the streets
for blocks. Shortly after the roof col
lapsed.
| The Berkshire was a five-story brick
building containing IS apartments. 1t
was in a section devoted almost en-
tirely to apartment houses and hotels,
some Of them exclusive.

DEP0RTING REDS
WAS PRACTICED
BY OLD SETTLER
Even Miles Standish Had to
Send Dissenters Back to
Old Country

Boston, Feb 9.--Dcportation of "un
1cSirablcs' is not an innovation in
this country. The Pilgrim fathers,
confronted with the problem OF deal
ing with malcontents among them,
shipped the disgruntlcss ones over
seas. There was not Soviet ark III
those days because there were not
50 many trouble spirits, but the faith
ers' action against the men who sought
to spread dissension was summary.
Rear Admiral Francis Il. BOwlcS,
resigned, III describing the experiences
of the Pilgrims, quotes from Governor
Bradford's story Of the Plymouth
colony to show how things were done
III those days.
AGAINST GOVERNMENT
"Thc reds in the Plymouth colony,
Admiral BOwlcS says were represent
ed by John Liferd and John Oldham
who cOnSpired together both against
the church and the government Of
the colony, cndcavorcd to cnticc others
with them. and wrote dctlamatory let
tcrs to the friends Of the colony in
England. As the governor says, both
Oldham and he, Llford, grew very
Jnrvcrse and showed Il spirit of great
malisnancy, DRAWN: as many into
faction as they could; were they never
50 vile or profane, they did nourlsll
them in their doing.
"OIdham having refused duty when
called upon by Captain Standisl, 1t
was determined to place both liforl
and Oldham on trial and all members
Of the colony were called upon to be
present 1iford and Oldham We're
convicted and the court convicted
them to be expelled from the colony.
Ultimately both were dcported
THUMP ON YE BIRCH
"Oldham once came to the colony,
and having created Il serious breach
of the peace, Governor Bradford says,
they comitcd him till he was tanner.
and then appointed guard Of mus
| keters which he was to pass throw.
and everyone was ordered to give him
thump on ye brich, With yc but end
of his musket and then was cenveled
to We watersidc where boat was
ready to cary him away. Then they
| bid him go and mende his maners.

Paris, Feb. 9.-AlthOugh all possible
efforts TO reconstruct the war-shattcr-
cd mines of Lens have been and arc
being made, there is now no hope that
a single ton Of coal will be extracted
before 1921. In fact, the task of
bringing back Lens to its former pros
pcrity. is So immense that it is not
expected that the town and its mines
will return to; anything: like their
former state before 1923 or 1890:
Provided that the work can he
carried on without interruption. it
will take all 1920 to clear the under
ground workings of the debris with
which they were choked by the Ger
mans. Most Of the workings and
all the deeper ones are flooded.
A plan for drawing off the water
has been arranged. The reconstruc-
ton and repair Of the Tubing will
be carried out by German workmrn.
and the cement for the purpose will
be brought from Germany. The pump
ing out Of the mines is expected TO
take at least three years. 1t is hoped
that by next year it will be possible
to extract coal from the first galleries,
which are only GOO feet deep but it is
not expected that the water will be
pumped out of the lower workings.

CONFESSED ASSAULT
Soldiers and policemen continued
on guard near the court house follow
ing the shooting. Trouble was feared
by the authorities soon as Lockett was
captured and confessed to the assault
and murder of the little girl.
Fearing that mobs would loot pawn
shops to obtain firearms, police and
military officers went 10 all such
stores and gathered up guns and re-
volvers. They said an attack on the
militia men was feared. =

murdered by schoolmates a short dis

cred with corn stalks.

formed by residents of ethe neighbOr-
hood and search was instituted for
the murder. 1pckett was suspected
and finally was found late that night
at friends home about six miles

This is Kathleen Mourveen, " a
big William Fox special.
Miss Bara's new role is one of
sweet simplicity. 1t is said to
be the most effective thing she
has ever done and her past per-
formances include a long list Of
successes.
Among other things, a cathe-
dral was built for one of the

Demand Made On Holland
to Give Up Kaiser Bill

Paris, France. The supreme
councils note to the Dutch gov
ernment, asking that the former
German emperor be given up to
the allies, under article 227 of
the Versailles treaty, for trial
points out that if the former en-
peror had remained in Germany.
he would have been delivered
under the same conditions by the
German government.
Among so many Crimes" the
note recalls the cynical viola
ton of the neutrality of Belgium
and Luxembourg; the barbarous
system of hostages; massed de-
portations, systematic devasta-
ton without military reasons,
the submarine war;" and de-
clares: For all of which acts
responsibility, at least moral,
reaches the supreme chief, who
ordered them or abused his un-
limited powers to break, or per-
nit others to break, the most
sacred rules of human conscience.
THE powers cannot con-
ceive, " it adds. that the Meth
erlands would regard with less
reprobation than themselves the
immense responsibility weighing
upon t h e emperor. Holland
would not be fulfilling her inter
national duty if she refused to
associate herself with other ma
tions, so far as she is able, to
prosecute or at least not impede
the punishment of crimes COM
mitted. "
1t concludes by expressing the
conviction that Holland. one Of
the first to claim a place in the
league of nations, will not desire
to cover by moral authority vio-
lation of the essential principles
of the solidarity of nations and
that all are interested to prevent
a return of a similar catastrophe.

Religious Fanatics "Turn
Down" Census CathererS

Denver, Colo. = Roady Kene-
han, district supervisor of the
fourteenth census. has appealed
to the office of the United States
district attorney of this district
for advice in the matter of gath
ering data prescribed by law
from the cult known as "The
House of Jehovah. !" The super
visor has also reported his ina
bility to secure data from men,
bers of the cult to the census
bure au in Washington City.
He says there are at least seven
hundred members in Denver,
and not one of them will give
any name except Margaret Je-
hovah" or John Jehovah, as
The case may be.
Members of the cult, the su-
pervisor says, date their ages
from the time of their conver-
sion to the true faith, they ans
wer that they do not speak any
language except that of heaven
and they all give heaven as their
place of nativity as we'll as that
of their parents.
Census enumerators. the SUI
pervisor said, had tried various
means of securing data from the
members of the cult, and in
each instance the result has been
the same. Such material mat
ters as the census do not come
within the cults scope, he says.

London, Jan. IL. "A bitter at
tack on President Wilson is con-
tained in an editorial in the Sat-

started the League of Nations

Wilson would come to Europe,
of which he knew literally moth
ing, with a cut-and-dried scheme
in his pocket for the regenera-
ton of the world on the basis of
the Fourteen Points and a League

Such is Wilson'S intense pro-
vinciality and conceit that he
really thought t h Fourteen
Points would go through. Weeks
