They removed their prisoner to the

which time a number of the chariots

loot, which consisted Of arms, ammu-

After the last load had been re-
moved the warriors made lines fast
to the craft and towed her far out into
the valley In a southwesterly direc-
ton. A few Of them then boarded her
and were busily engaged in what ap-
peared, from my distant position, as
the emptying of the contents of vari-
GUS carboys upon the dead bodies Of
the sailors and over the decks and
works of the vessel.
This operation concluded, they
hastily clambered over her sides, slid
Ing down the guy ropes to the ground.
The last warrior to leave the deck
turned and threw something back
upon the vessel, waiting an instant to
note the outcome Of his act. AS faint
squirt Of fame rose from the point
where the missile struck he swung
over the side and was quickly upon
the ground. Scarcely had he alighted
than the guy ropes were simultaneous

llghtened by the removal of the loot,
scared majestically into the air, her
decks and upper works a mass Of
roaring flames.
The sight was awe-inspiring in the
extreme as one contemplated this
mighty floating funeral pyre, drifting
unguided and unnamed through the
lonely wastes Of the Marian heavens /;
a derelict of death and destruction,

countably so, slowly descended to
the street. The scene 1 had witnessed
seemed to mark the defeat and ami

pie, rather than the routing by our
green warriors of a horde OF similar,
though unfriendly, creatures. l could
not fathom the seeming hallucination,
nor could free myself from 1t; but
somewhere In the innermost recesses
of my soul 1 felt strange yearning
toward these unknown foemen, and a
mighty hope surged through me that
the feet would return and demand a
reckoning from the green warriors
who had so ruthlessly and wantonly
attacked It,
Lorquas Ptomel was too astute an
old warrior to be caught upon the open
plains with a caravan Of chariots and
children, and so we remained at the
deserted city until danger of a reprisal
attack seemed passed.

though a little figure on one of the
craft dropped at the explosion of each
bullet, while the banners and upper
works dissolved in spurts of fame as
the irresistible projectiles Of our war
riors moved through them.
The fire from the vessels was most

learned, to the unexpected suddenness
Of the first volley, which caught the
ships crews entirely unprepared ana

warriors.
Twenty minutes after the first vol

in the direction from which 1t had
first appeared. Several Of the craft
were limping perceptibly, and seemed
but barely under the control Of their
depleted crews. Their fire had ceased
entirely and all their energies seemed
focused upon escape. Our warriors
then rushed up to the roofs of the
buildings which we occupied and fol-
lowed the retreating armada with a
continuous fusillade Of deadly fire.
One by one, however, the ships man
aged to dip below the crests of the
outlying hills until only one barely
moving craft was in sight. This had
received the brunt Of our fire and
seemed to be entirely unnamed, as
not a moving figure was visible upon
her decks. Slowly she swung from
her course. circling back toward US In
an cratic and pitiful manner. In

It was quite apparent that the vessel
was entirely helpless, and, far from
being in a position to inflict harm
upon US, she could not even control
herself sufficiently to escape.
AS she neared the city the warriors
rushed out upon the plain to meet her,
but It was evident that she still was
too high for them to hope to reach her
decks.

answer the purpose. The result was
that the piece of tileing over the well
in Mr.. Cooley's field had five shots in
it when daylight came and the bear
was many miles away.

Secretary of Labor Wilson, it is UNI
derstood, has virtually decided to
sustain the appeal of O'Callaghan to
the Department of Labor from the
decision of the board of inquiry at
Newport News excluding the lord
mayor although the case has not yet
been brought formally to his atten-
ton and no decision will be announc-
ed by him until the record has been
received from immigration officials at
Newport News.
Before taking action on O'Callag-
hans appeal, however, it would be the
usual custom of the Department of
Labor in the case of an alien arriving
in the United States without q pass
port to defer decision until it had
been ascertained whether the depart

On account Of the friction which is
said to have developed between the
departments Of State and Labor over
the admissibility of alien without
passports, it was understood today
that Secretary Wilson probably would
sustain the appeal of O'Callaghan
without any reference of the case to
the department of State.
| Difficulty between the two depart
ments over the admission of aliens

back to the case of Alfred Nagel,
Letvian secretary, whose admission
to the United States even temporar-
lily was held for a long period by the
State Department upon what the De-
partment of Labor characterized as
ground which might only properly
have been sustained by Secretary
Wilson Since then numerous aliens

the fire company responded to q
man. Soon streams were going from
every available hydrant, and the
steam. engine had three lines on the
fire. The pressure was good, for the
position of the fire gave the max
imum power. Chief Shute and his
men worked like. hends and there
were many volunteers, one man a
stranger employed on the building
Of the new bridge giving vS1uable
assistance. Business men organised
a bucket brigade to save adjoining
property.
Embers were carried more than a
mile away, for there was a. strong
northwest gale and number of
houses in various parts of the city
caught on fire. But for careful
watching on the part of property
owners there would have been many
fires started.
During the height Of the fire a small
boy got into the second story of the
Pejepscot building and Raymond AL

after him. He had some trouble in
getting out and was quite badly
burned about the face and head.

Continued from Pace One)

In his inaugural address Governor
Cox earnestly recommended" that all
county jails be consolidated under the
control of the state; advocated that
the governor be given power to ap-
point the state treas urer. secretary, au-
ditor and the attorney general, and rec
commended that the present minimum
legal salary for school teachers be
materially raised.

Immediately following this cere-
mony Governor Cox was escorted to
the hall of representatives where he
and Lieutenant Governor Alvan T.
Fuller took oath of office.
Reforms of administration rather
than legislative changes are the prin-
cipal needs of the state, Governor
Cox said. AS one administrative re-
form he announced his intention of
calling departmental heads into
council with him to ascertain where
it is possible to transact the public
business better and at less expense.
The Ponzi quick rich scheme was
recalled by Governor Coxs assertion
that protection of small investors
was one of the most urgent problems
before the commonwealth. 1.-The most
effective way to discourage thrift
and to retard the accumulation of
capital is to- permit fraudulent pro-
motors to rob the people of their saw
ings," he said. 1T is estimated that
worthless or fraudulent securities
amounting to at least $30,O00,OO0 are
sold annually in Massachusetts.
Americanization work is greatly
Eindered by such frauds"
The cost of carrying on the state
government has become a heavy bur-
Den the governor declared in an
nouncing that state tax of $4,000
900 would be necessary to make up
for an excess of expenditures over
revenue during the last year. He
called for economy and thrift in use
OF public funds and recommended
that departments and institutions of
the state wherever possible purchase
supplies from each other and that
every department be required to use
the state treasury as it's depositing
bank so that money might be saved
and check be had on the location
OF state deposits.
AS a measure of justice to women,
the new governor urged amendment
OF the constitution and laws so that
every elective Office should be open
to them.

motor-vehicle patrol Of inspectors as
q means of reducing the number of
killed and injured in motor accidents
