RICHMOND BLAZE

Caught Under Wall
CLOSE CALL FOR VETERAN
Damage Put At $500, ooo-LIves Lost
When Wall Falls On Men
Working From The
Next-Door Roof.

Richmond, Va.-Four fremen and
one civilian are known to have been
killed when the most spectacular
blaze here in years swept the large
furniture store Of Jurgens Brothers
in the heart of Richmond's shopping
district. Two other civilians are be-
tieved buried in the ruins.
Seven other firemen are in hos
pitfalls as the result of the collapse OF
wall which. caught them on the
roof Of lower building next to the
burning structure. The collapse
came in full view of a crowd Of spec.
tators estimated at 10000. With the
exception of two reserve companies
the entire fire fighting apparatus OF
the city was utilized in a four-hour
fight before the flames were brought
under control.
The bodies Of the four firemen and
one unidentified civilian were taken
from the ruins by 9 o'clock.
The building in which the IRE start
ed was six-story retail furniture
store at the corner Of Broad and
Adams streets, with spring stock OF
goods containing what Fire Chief
Joynes declared a line of furniture
with highly inflammable polish. None
OF the men killed or injured was in
this building.

JAPAN DEFENDS

CABLE CONTROL INSISTED ON

Made Reply OF Allied Nations
To U. S. Protest May Hold
Germ OF Adjustment.

Washingt Diplomatic exchanges
between American and Japanese gov.
ernments concerning the status of the
Pacific cable center of Yap have left
the situation in such shape that it re-
mains for the Harding administration
to dictate the next step.
Japan's reply to the protest against
Japanese control OF the island sent by
the Wilson administration through
the American Embassy at Toxic is
understood to have contained a re-
iteration of the Japanese claim to ex.
elusive jurisdiction by reason of the
mandate awarded by the Supreme
Council.
As to Japanese control Of the for.
mer German cables centering in the
island. against which the American
Government particularly protested.
Japan Ii said to adhere to the prin-
ciple Of free use of the cables by all
persons, but with operation and con.
troll remaining under the power that is
in possession Of the ends Of the cables.
Japan holds that this arrangement
exists in the case OF the cable that
runs from the American-owned island
of Guam, in the Pacific, to Yokohama,
Japan. The American company which
laid the cable, 1t claims, admitted the
right Of Japan to control the end
which was landed in Japan with Amer.
lean controlling the end in Guam.
The Japanese view also is under

BrOnchO Busting
Near It's End

Indians, who have a reservation not
far from Globe. But there isn't much
chance Of getting the Arizona ponies
for the broncho busters of Wyoming,
for the Indians won't give them up.
Growing Shorter.
The day of the wild herd Of horses
roaming the plains of Wyoming and
adjacent states has been growing
rapidly shorter with the encourage
ment of civilization. More and more
ranches are being fenced in, herds Of
cattle are reduced or confined, and
to make the matter worse for the ex-
istence Of the wild steeds, oil drilling
camps have been extended over wide
areas Of Wyoming, northwestern Colo
RADIO and Utah.,
But down on the San Carlos Indian
reservation there are 10000 wild
steeds, roaming at will over the fields,
destroying mile after mile Of grazing
land which might be put into good
use for cattle, and turning green grass
of the prairie into scrawny covering
for their bones which hardly makes
even decent meal for an Indian.
The cattlemen have tried to buy
them, but the Indians wouldn't listen.
The government. through A. 81. Sy-
imonds, Indian agent, offered to pur-
chase them at about So a head, invest
the money In cattle and save the meat
from the horses, giving 1t back to the
Indians for winter food.
Horses Are Worthless.
But the Indians would have none
Of it. The horses are worthless, even
for hides. They cannot be domesti-
Gated and the meat isn't much Of a
delicacy, but the Indians insist on
their age-old prerogative to have their
herds out on the open prairie even as
their fathers did. The Indians also
have about 1000 wild burros which
they say they will keep.
"And when an Indian makes up his
mind" Symonds says, you've got to
have patience to get him to change
1t. They are proud Of the horses and
burros for some reason, and although
some Of their leaders have tried to
persuade them to accept the offers
made, so far they have refused to
SELL"

The Day Of the Dead


tBy Ninette VI Lowaterl
When the days grow long and the
grasses glisten
Impearled with tears the night has
she'd
When birds all sing and the trees all
listen,
There comes TO Us the Day q the
Dead.
Dearer far than gems or than golden
treasure
Is their dust. whose memory Honor
keeps
And the Nation leaves its toll and its
pleasure
To garland each bed where a hero
sleeps
We have grown old; they are young
forever,
With glory's halo around each head.
Our names will die. but forgotten new
Are those on the roll Of the Ma
tons dead
Past are the pain and the bitter aching
Our sacred dead are their couutry's
now,
And the hearts that throbbed well
nigh TO breaking
Calmly above their ashes bow.
Peace to them-peace forever and
everl
Here shall no rude alarm intrude.
The jarring world shall disturb them
never.
They know not Of war or wars in
terlude.
Bring TO their graves no thought Of
sorrow.
Why should We mourn DER our
eountry's dead?
Their fame shall grow brigh, through
many a morrow
And shine like the stars when the
day has fed.
Bring laurel and pine for their mem
DRY immortal,
And roses, red roses, to emblem the
love
Which follows them, even through the
dark portal,
And pansies, for thought Of their
welcome above.
Bring white-fOr their pur.
pose holy
And mid the sweet flowers which
are strewn al lis side.
Whether his rank was high or was
lowly,
Set the Banner of Stars. for which
one he died.
