overcome at 2:35 o'clock while
fighting a fire at 200 Hall avenue.
The chief was upstairs in the build
ing when flames suddenly burst out
In the store below and the room in
which he was at the time was filled
with dense smoke. He tried to reach
the door but was overcome before
he could cover the distance neces-
sary.
Patrolmen Frank Tonghini and
William Petersen. knowing the fire
chief was upstairs. felt their way
through the smoke and finally To-
Gated Nixon lying on the floor and
carried him to safety. He was re-
rtored after several minutes hard
work over him.
Chief Nixon had just been fight

which caused his being overcome.
The fire ladies were kept busy
last night with two fires. the first

was turned in from box "a by Pa
trolman Michael Burke who while
patroling his beat along Smith
street smelled smoke and discovered
a fire in a shed at 264 Goodwin

The firemen made a valiant effort
to call the chief back without sue

Peterson went in search of the two
men. The chief was found at the
top of the stairway and
Patrolman Tonghini carried him to
the street where he was revived.
Patrolman Peterson searched for
Moser but later learned that he had

CARRANZA'S
GRASP ON NATION
IS WEAKENING
Revolutionary Forces Appear
ing With Startling Rapidity
in All Parts
MAY TAKE MEXICO CITY
Old Regime in Mexican Affairs
Reported to Be in Very
Tight Place

Washington, May 6.-Oficial inter-
est in the development of the political
phases Of the sweeping revolution in
Mexico has been stimulated by gov
ernment report which continued to in
dicate rapid weakening of Carranzas s
grip. Although any recognition by
this government Of the rebel move
ment other than that accorded any de
facto force was said to be improbable.
it is known agents of the state depart
ment have studied carefully the pro-
mulgated program of the rebels and
the published assurances of Alvaro
Obregon and other leaders of the re-
volt that more friendly attitude to-
ward foreigners will be adopted.
Official and unofficial advices agree
in general that revolutionary forces
are appearing with startling rapidity
in almost all parts Of the country and
that steps toward their coordination
are we'll under way. Army officials
here, who have been studying the sit.
uation. do not agree with the optims-
tic claims of some of the rebel leaders
that Mexico City will be taken within
a week or ten days. but they are con.
vinced that Carranza will experience
difficulty in extricating himself.

STATEMENTS OF
LEAGUE PAPERS
Declares That He Has Not
Promised Anyone His Sup
port for Office

Attorney General William LANCER
returned to the capital today from a
two days absence in connection with
the Wolf murder mystery and was
shown the various newspaper articles
charging that he has made certain
promises in connection with public
Office and the location of state indus
tries. General LANCER said:
Il have been down in South Dakota
working on the Wolf murder case and
being out in the country was conse-
Quently away from newspaper tele-
phone and telegraph communication
Upon returning to Bismarck l am not
surprised at the charges made against
me by the league newspapers and by
those other papers opposed to prog.
ressive republicanism Everybody
knows that the old gang in North Da.
kOta does not like me.
Denies Statement
1T is perhaps unnecessary to state,
but it is nevertheless unequivocally
and emphatically true, that | have
never directly or indirectly made any
deal to support anybody for state Of
flee, nor to appoint anybody to any ap-
pointive office, nor give to any city OF
county public industry. The gang
now in control Of the government of
the state may do business that way
and their sympathizers may therefore
judge me as doing what they them
selves might do, but l have made
promises to no one.
"As matter of fact | advocate that
the autocratic power now possessed by
the governor and the industrial com.
mission be taken from them by the
legislature and that non-political
boards run the industries instead of
the industrial commission.
Some people seem very anxious to
create a division among the anti.
Townley forces. Unless the farmers
of the state wake up they are apt to
find themselves after election day still
in the clutches of the ruthless, heart.

NEW WARDEN TO
ASSUME DUTIES
THIS SATURDAY
l.. L. Stair of BOttineau County
Has Accepted Penitentiary
Position .,..

l.. l.. Stair, Nonpartisan league or
ganiZer and last speaker of the house
OF representatives, who has been ap-
pointed warden OF the state peniten-
,tiary, Is expected to assume charge at
the penitentiary Saturday.
D., Mr.. Stair comes to Bismarck with
a somewhat different reputation than
is usually attached to league officials.
He is known as the only speaker of
the house who could handle two en-
tirely different motions on the floor
at the same time.
The new warden takes the position
which was refused by Sheriff Hennes-
sey of Bottineau county. Stair also
halls from the same county. Hennes-
sey could not take the wardenship
because the commissioners of Botti-
neau county refused to name a social
ist sheriff to take Hennessey's place.
Both Hennessey and Stair are close
friends of +. w. Cathro, director gen.
eral and manager of the Bank of
North Dakota. Banker Cathro being
resident Of Bottineau county also.
Which is taken to indicate that Cath
ro's influence with the state admins
tration is just as great as ever. In
fact if the appointment of citizens
of Rottineau county to state positions
at Bismarck continues there will be
very few residents left in the north
crn county.
