S50,OaO FIRE LOSS.
Eight Cars Used by Trolley Company
 Destroyed at Windsor Locks.

Windsor Locks. Feb. 7.-More than $50 900 damages was caused by a fire of undetermined origin which yester- day consumed the store shed of the Hartford & Springfield Street Railway company and destroyed three closed passenger cars, one open passenger car. two work cars and a sr kw blow.
 The store shed is one mile south of Windsor Locks on a private right of way near the main road to Hartford. It was used to store cars operating on the west side of the river. The watchman. at 2 o'clock Sunday morn ing heard cracking noise and investi- gated, suspecting burglars. Instead. he found flames in the center of the shed. He imm mediately called the Wind sor Locks fire department. but even be- fore they arrived the blaze was beyond control.
 The value of the shed was small, but the passenger cars were valued at approximately $6.OO0 apiece and the work cars and snow blow at approxi- mately 5000 apiece. Cars used on the east side of the river are stored in a larger shed at Warehouse Point.

Mexico City, Feb. 7.-Police au- thorities and government secret serv- ice agents were engaged today in col lecting evidence which might lead to the arrest of men. who bombed the residence of the archbishop of Mexico and the building occupied by Juer- gems and Co. in this city yesterday morning. Four mean are under ar rest but it is known several others were implicated in the two crimes.
 The residence of the archbishop was badly damaged and the entire street frontage of the Juergens build ing was wrecked. The upper story Of the factory was occupied by the families of the owners but none was injured.
 Information gathered by the police would seem to indicate that four men did the actual work of setting of both bombs.
 Radical activity has been increas- ing in Mexico City recently and news papers here say two communist con- gresses will be held this month. The newspapers also have received word of the arrival during the past week of a number of agitators, two of whom have been chara cterized by El Universal as being delegates sent to Mexico by Nikolai Lenine to work among laborers in the interests of the third internationale at Moscow"
 Carlos Rehg. manager of the Juer- gems factory. declares radical agita- tors have been exceedingly bold at his plant, having several times sta toned themselves at the entrance to the building and threatening the 200 employees with violence if they dared to enter. This aggressive attitude led

ADOPTS CHILDREN
 TO FOOL HUSBAND
Now Her Secret Is Out, But Mrs. South Will Be Permitted to
 Keep SiZeable Family.

Atlanta, Feb. 7.-The family of Mrs. F. E. A. South has been reduced by three, but six children ''born'' to her in the last fourteen years still remain All of the children were secretly adopted by Mrs. South because of her love of babies.
 Mrs. South, who is fifty-two yearE old, "faked'' the birth of triplets on New Years Eve, but owing to her failure to register a birth certificate, it was learned that the 'triplets'' were in reality the babies of three mothers, and had been born in d ma- ternity hospital on Dec. ,, , and 10. They have been returned to the hos pita1.
 The other six children will be kept. South, a grocery clerk, agreed to this after denouncing his wife's deception and threatening to send the others away also. The twins, Ruth and Jewel, were born four years ago. Be- fore that, Mrs. South had announced the birth of another set of twins, who have since died, and four other chil- dren, all of whom she wanted to bring up.
 Mother love and an offer of her church to educate as missionaries the first triplets born to a church member prompted Mrs. South to adopt three babies and pass them off as her own She has promised her husband, how ever, that she will be content with her present family of six children.

PLAN WAR ON REDS
 WITH OWN WEAPONS
Racine People Will Combat Soap
 Box OratOry With Same

Racine. Wis. Feb. 7.-Believing that the only method of effectively combating socialism. bolshevism, I. w. W.-ism and the other revolution ary groups is by meeting them on their own grounds with 'soap-box versus soap-box'' and soap boxer versus soap-boxer." the Constitution al Defense League Of Racine has established here the worlds first Soap Box University. Students are being trained to meet the revolutionary agitator with all of his own weapons, and it is planned to turn out an alumni of propagandists who will be able to counter every move of so- cialist agitation by their knowledge of the socialist bag of tricks
 The university is the outGrowth of the experience of n group of ex-serv- ice men who formed the Constitu- tional Defense league more than a year ago in order to vigorously fight socialism in Wisconsin. They say they realized at the beginning that much of the propaganda that has been waged in the past against social ism has been wasted. For one thing, it hasn't reached the audience that the socialists talk to; it hasn't been founded upon a knowledge of the psychology of the radicals.
 The Constitutional Defense league. under the leadership of Jack O'Brien of this city, decided to try a new theory They would initiate the so- cialists' methods. They would go out on the streets as soap-boxers, and give Americanism to the crowds in stead of revolution. They would challenge the socialists to debates on all occasions and hoist them before the public on their own fallacies. MT. O'Brien and his staff carried out the program. In Racine, Sheboygan, Green Bay. Manitowac, Wausau and other Wisconsin cities, he soon be- gan to capture socialist audiences.
 But there was one difficulty which was increasingly evident to the league. And that was the lack of anti revolutionary propagandists the lack of men who understood the socialist philosophy we'll enough to combat it on tho soap-box.
 Out of this realization, grew the Soap-Box university. The league de- cided to train agitators for the Amer icaniZation cause. In Racine. class sessions are held. For the benefit of those outside of Racine, corre- spondence school is maintained. The correspondence school is open to all who wish to prepare themselves to combat socialism. either from the platform or individually. And it is free. even the textbooks and the postage are furnished free. Since the first announcement was made, the league has been flooded with appli- cants from all over the country.
 To strengthen the university. liar old Lord Narney. magazine writer and lecturer. who was for many years a national leader in tho I. w. w. and socialist movement. has been engaged to have ch of the correspondence school. The course is divided into twelve lessons and covers such sub jects as the study of the American form of government and the Marxian economics and it's loopholes.
