TWO FIRES AT HOLYOKE.
Thrilling Rescue of Family of Seven
Eighteen Horses Burned.

HOLYOKE. Mass May 29.-Two
general alarm fires yesterday morning
endangered the lives of several families,
resulted in the thrilling rescue of FIVE
children and man and wife, who
dropped three stories from a window into
an awning and rolled into the arms of
policemen on the sidewalk, and caused
damage estimated at more than S150,000.
The first fire. at l o'clock, was in the
city stables. which burned to the ground.
Twelve horses were burned to death in
she buildings and 10 others We're rescued
with difficulty.
The rpscues were made at the second
fire i'm Park street, where six other
horses we're burned to death While all
If the city's fire apparatus was at the
fire in the city stables. another general
alarm was sounded for the blaze in Park
street. which, for a time, covered an en-
tire block.
In the Park street fire those who were
forced to jump were cut off by the
flames. Patrolmen and fremen made
desperate efforts to reach the group but
were driven back by heavy smoke. At
last the father dropped the five children
one after the other into the awning. As
they rolled into the street they were
caught by police officers. The last child
dropped was a small baby which was
slightly injured when it struck the avn

No Excuse for Further Delay.

Mexico has objected through her diplo-
matte representatives that the president
Of Mexico couldn't interpret the consti-
tuition or perform legislative functions.
But under the Mexican constitution the
President has a right to negotiate treat
les and now that the supreme court has
decided that the constitution is not to
be considered retroactive there can be
no further excuse for delay on the ground
that treaty, would conflict with the con-

stitution. More than year has gone
bv and the Mexicans have had an oppOr-
tunity to pass legislation carrying into
effect their Interpretation of the consti-
tuition. More than a year has gone by
and the Mexicans have had an Opportun-
ity to pass legislation carrying into eff
feet their Interpretation of the consti-
tuition
As for the objection that Mexico wants
to be recognized first and then negotiate
a treaty. the precedent blished in
1884 between the United States and Mex
leo is justification for the American po-
Sition. The United States is not ask
ing for anything which Mexico has not
herself done in the past. Similarly Rus
STA and the powers Tsere agreed in petit
ton that treaty resuming diplomatic
relations was automatically an act of rec
ignition.
Reading every clause of the treaty one
cannot escape the conclusion that the
United States Is asking only for the reg
ular procedure i'm treaty making and for
the inclusion of the usual language of
the treaties Any impression that the
American government is delaying recog-
milton on insubstantial grounds is wholly
incorrect.

July by the board. Yesterdays decision.
however. affects mostly maintenance of
way workers, although decisions are
pending affecting other clasSifcations.
If the wage cuts made in the latest
decision are extended to other decisions
expected soon, it was pointed out in
railway circles. much of the 5000, 100000
increase given by the board in 1920 Will
be wiped out and wages restored to a
level which railway officials have told
the board will lead to a new era of de-
velopmcnt and open the way to the en-
ployment of 100000 men
The decision was signed by the three
railroad members of the board and the
three members representing the public
group. 4 dissenting opinion was filed by
the three members representing the labor
group The dissenting opinion contended
that the wage scale provided in the deci-
sion was insufficient to sustain life on the
basis of American standards.
In a statistical table based on the fig
ures on wages and the cost of living by
/ the department of labor, which is incOr-
pOrated in the decision. the board de-
clared that while the cost of living in
March. 1921 Cast available government

over that of December. 1917. the hourly
rate of pay for maintenance of way EN-

apply IN uniform manner throughout
the country, but will be affected by local
conditions.

Miss Boyles returned home recently. She disappeared from home July 4, 1921, and eluded detectives for months. She finally wired her father for funds from London and returned home
