LEGATIONS WITHOUT FUNDS
United States Embassies Abroad Are
in DepIorabIe Condition, Says
Washington Report

WashingtOn.-The thorough cleaning
out of the cash box of the American
legation at Warsaw Poland, the night
of December IL by robbers, reveals a
serious lack OF protection of confiden-
tiaI and other valuable papers and
materials in American embassies and
legations abroad.
With the current appropriation in
adequate to supply clerks to the en-
bassies and legations, safes and office,
furniture are in the class of Injuries.
The American minister to Serbia at
present is forced to typewrite his own
dispatches and reports.
The American mission in Berlin IS
housed in a building where water
soaks through cracks in the walls dur
ing a rain. The American embassy
building at Constantinople is in a bad
state Of deterioration. At Budapest
the only quarters that could be OBJ
tanned within the means available for
the American mission are declared to
be shocking. The approach is through
a courtyard and then up two flights
Of rickety stairs smelling of sewer
fumes.

MANY PERISH IN sHlPWRECK
Only Sc Out of 27o Saved When Span
ish Steamer Santa Isabel
Went on Rocks.

Madrid.-Two hundred and fourteen
persons lost their lives when the Span
ish steamer Santa Isabel vas wrecked
near Villagarcia recently, says a teie-
gram received here from the governor
of Pontevedra. Fifty-six persons were
saved, but many of them were in
jured. Capt, Muniz Ricueldi, the COM
mander of the vessel, was severely
injured and it is not expected he will
recover.
Many bodies have been washed
ashore and in several cases whole
families were drowned. Among the
saved was an infant, years old,
whose parents are believed to be
dead.
Latest dispatches from Cadiz state
the ship was driven on the rocks dur
ing a tremendous storm, and the large
number of deaths is attributed to the
fact that the passengers had been con-
fined to their cabins because of the
violence of the tempest, many of
them being asleep.

SENATOR HAS new
IMMIGRATION PLAN
Would Inform Europe That the
Gates TO the United States
Have Been Closed.
FOR DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT
Voluntary Action Of italy in Stopping
Exodus to America Suggested
Proposed Plan.

Observation-Disclosures solution OF
the immigration question through
diplomatic agreement, rather than
through separate legislative action by
various governments, was forecast
recently at hearings OF the senate i'm
migration committee N the Johnson
bill to impose ten months restriction
on immigration to the United States.
Senator Colt of Rhode Island, chair
man of the committee, made public a
letter. from Acting Secretary of State
Davis, announcing that the Italian gov
eminent voluntarily had suspended the
issuing of passports to the United
States. The letter was presented TO
Secretary Davis by the Italian embas-
sy and came as a surprise to commit
tee members.
Would Suggest it to other Nations.
Chairman Colt said he hoped other
nations would follow the course of the
Italian government and obviate the
necessity Of continuously legislating
on this subject
Already" he said, there are indi-
cations that Czecho-Slovakia will en-
ter into a diplomatic agreement with
the United States with regard to regu-
lating immigration. It is not improb-
able that other nations will do the
same, if the suggestion is made that
it would be agreeable to this country"
Meanwhile, the chairman said, the
hearings would proceed without inter
ruption and a bill would be reported to
the senate by the end of The week if
possible. The committee decided re-
Gently to summon Commissioner Wal
lis, in charge Of immigration at New

ARSON A WEAPON IN IRELAND
British Public Opinion Aroused by
Burning of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Make a Strong Protest

London.-Public opinion received a
shock when the details of the burning
of the Irish town Of Middleton were
made public the other day. This shock
was particularly felt in quarters where
it had been supposed that martial law
in Southwestern Ireland would put an
end to such reprisals. Nowhere is
there outspoken approval OF the pun
ishment melted out to the Irish village
by Maj Gen. Sir Edward Strickland,
and there evidently is some reluctance
to indorse this method of keeping
order
In official statements, it is declared
that seven dwellings in Middleton
were destroyed as a result Of an am
bush of police near that town. Declar-
alton that the authorities had decided
that the people living in certain
houses in the vicinity of the outrage
must have known of the plot to am
bush the police, and that after the in
mates of the houses selected for de-
struction had been warned to leave,
the buildings were set on fire The
occupants were permitted to remove
their valuables. but had to leave their
furniture behind

State Department Tells Island
Envoy That No Military In
terVention is Planned.
CROWDER'S VISIT EXPLAINED
Acting Secretary Davis Says Troops
Will Not be Sent to Supervise
the Elections.

Washington.-Assu that the
United States is not contemplating
military Intervention in Cuba were
given recently to the Cuban minister
by Acting Secretary Davis, it was said
at the state department.
The minister, Dr. Carlos Manuel de
Cespedes, was said to have entered no
protest from his government against
the sending of Major General CrOwder
to Cuba to confer with President Men
ocaI relative to the general situation
in the island republic. The minister,
after his call, however, expressed some
slight objection to the action Of the
American government, declaring that
neither his attitude nor that of his
government as set forth in a recent
statement by him had been altered.
In this statement, the minister had
asserted there were no grounds for the
supervision of elections.
The secretary told DR.. Cespedes
there was little he could add to the
Presidents statement relative to the
work General Crowder is expected to
accomplish in Cuba, adding that he
had confidence in the ability of the
Cuban authorities and General Crow
der to work out satisfactory solution
of the present political and financial
difficulties.
DR.. Cespedes made it clear that his
main purpose in calling on Secretary
Davis was to obtain more information
regarding the sending Of an American
to Cuba on a mission Of the nature Of
General Crowder's.
But it is understood that in his dis
cussion of the matter with Mr.. Davis
he did not attempt to conceal his ap-
prehension that the action would be
construed as a step preliminary to in
tervention. He was assured that
neither intervention nor the super
vision of elections was contemplated,
but it was made plain to him that the
United States considered the econom-
ic, political and financial situation had
reached the point in Cuba where the
United States regarded the whole sit
uation as one warranting the friendly
offer of assistance.

FOR MUNICIPAL COAL YARDS
Many Cities of State That Tried Out
Plan Last Year Favor Their
establishment.

Every Kansas city of the first class
had a fuel shortage within the last
two years and two-thirds of them main
tanned municipal fuel yards, &C
cording to the reports filed with Rich
ard J. Hopkins, attorney general. In
every case, the cities that used munich
pal fuel yards found them successful
financially and of great help in reliev-
ing the fuel shortage. The attorney
general is gathering information to
support his bill to enable cities to
maintain municipal fuel yards.
In all, only six of the second class
cities reported no shortages, but those
six include Independence and lola,
where gas is used, and Mulberry,
Usage City and Oswego, where local
mines prevented a shortage. Forty-five
per cent of the cities that suffered
shortages report an emergency opera
ton of fuel ~ards and several addi-
tional cities reported that the munich
pality controlled the distribution Of
fuel without actually operating the
business.
OF all these operating, only one re-
ported that the plan failed to relieve
the shortage. One-half reported that
the plan saved the people money.
While the short time the emergency
yards were in operation was not a
fair test of the financial success Of
the plan, it is noteworthy that only
two reported financial less. Ninety
out of the 101 cities Of the third class
reported shortages and of those hav-
ing no shortage several were located
in mining districts or gas fields. OF
the ninety reports showing shortages,
thirty engaged in the fuel business as
an emergency measure and Of these
thirty, eleven are unqualified in their
statement that the experiment sup
piled fuel, saved the citizens money
and was successful financially. OF the
remaining nineteen, on reported a
| loss OF $40; another of $50 and another
says fuel was one-thild cheaper than
in other times. We lost 500 but feel
that it paid
