ENTIRE FAMILY is
BURNED In H0 M {
Charred Remains of Parents
and Five Children Found
After ConfIagration

Confluence, Pa.-The operation Of
a ruthless bootleg ring in the hills of
Somerset county, which came to light
about a week ago with the discovery
of the murder of one OF its members,
burst into flame with renewed vigor
here when an entire family Of nine
perished in fire, believed to be Of
incendiary origin.
A peculiar angle was introduced
when 1t was discovered that the
heads Of all the victims were missing.
1t is believed the members OF the
family may have been decapitated by
rival members OF the bootleg ring,
who then set fire to the house In a
futile attempt to hide the crime.
The dead were Samuel Rosso, aged
35; Ruey Rosso, aged 2S; Pauline
Rosso, aged H. Frank Rosso, aged 8 {;
Carl Rosso, aged 8; Leo Rosso, aged
4; Rodger Rosso, aged 8; Isabelle
Rosso. aged 2. and Ruey Rosso, aged
weeks. The ruins OF the Rosso
home were searched by County De
tective M. r. Leckemby and w. g.
Bower, justice OF the peace, but only
five bodies had been recovered.
The fire was discovered by a rail-
road hostler in the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad yards, who sounded the
alarm and aroused residents of the
town.
Upon the arrival OF the volunteer
seething furnace. In less than an
hour it was destroyed at a loss esti-
mated at $1,000. Detectives insist
the fire could not have been other
than incendiary when II was pointed
out that the family had two means
OF escape. there being a back and
front stairway and a porch on the
sec second story.
Frank Rosso, a brother OF the dead
man, was questioned for several hours
by Detective Leckemby. According
to reports the Rosso brothers were
known to have had a quarrel about a
week ago, which resulted in Frank
Rosso and his wife moving from the
house on Anderson Hill. where thoy
had been living
Detective Leckemby said no further
information had been gained through
questioning Rosso and released him.
The bootleg ring is known to have
its headquarters at Boswell. Pa.
Since the finding Of the bullet-riddled
body OF William Philippi OF Anderson
township several days ago near the
intersection Of the Somerset and Tun-
Melton road in the foothills Of Negro
mountains, detectives have made ef-
forts to round up the leaders Of the
ring

ORDERED SINKING
OF LUSITANIA
U. S. Has Proc, Il is Said, That
Germany Sanctioned De-
StruCtton of Vessel
MUST PAY CLAIMS IN FULL
Evidence Of Governments Connection
With Case Submitted To Mixed
Claims Commission For Full
Full Payment Of Losses.

Washington, d. C-Proof that the
German government deliberately plan
ned and ordered the sinking OF the
Lusitania is contained in the secret
archives OF the American government
and has been submitted TO the Mixed
Claims Commission in support of the
fight this government is making for
full payment OF all losses OF life and
property sustained by American citi-
zens in the catastrophe.
That such proof exists is disclosed
in a brief just filed before the com
mission on behalf OF the American
government by the American agent.
Robert w. Bonynge, who calls atten-
tion to evidence submitted in basic
Lusitania claim cases to show that
the German imperial government It
self deliberately planned and ordered
the torpedoing OF the Lusitania by
one OF the U-boat commanders.
Mr.. Bonynge's brief also shows that
the American government is resisting
to the limit the contention OF the pres
ent German government that the only
persons entitled to claim as a result
OF Germany's sinking OF the Lusitania
If any-would be the dependents or
legal representatives OF descendants
Such contention is being made by
Karl Won Lewinski, the German
agent, before the commission, who

claims arising from the I.usitania

Secretary Hughes, in Address
at Philadelphia, Talks on
Monroe Doctrine
STATES POSITION PLAINLY
America Must Avoid Foreign Entan-
element - Prefers Ills of Pres
ent Relations to Sacrifice
of independence.

Philadelphia, Pa. - American for
eign policy today, whether with rela-
ton to conditions in Europe, Latin
America or the Pacific, squares CON
sistently with the Monroe Doctrine.
Secretary Hughes said in an address
before the American Academy of Po-
litical and Social Science, gathered in
celebration OF the centenary of the
doctrine.
With that declaration as his text,
the secretary delivered a comprehen-
sive restatement OF the position Of
the United States toward the Euro
pean tangle, the Far East and Latin
America He said the American ma
tion would rather bear such Ills as
might result from its present policy
toward Europe than suffer the great
er evils which would follow the sac
rifice Of our independent position" re-
asserted the adherence OF this govern
ment to the principles of peace in the
Pacific laid down by the arms confer
ence and set forth nine propositions
which he said should govern relations
with the sister republics in the west
ern hemisphere.
All of these policies, Mr.. Hughes
asserted, accorded entirely with the
Monroe Doctrine, which remains an
essential policy to be applied when
ever any exigency may arise requir-
ing it's application"
"It would not be entirely correct" !"
he continued. Ito say that the doc
trine is merely negative. The
doctrine is a principle of exclusion.
Both with reference to the declara-
ton as to non-intervention and to
that as to extension Of territorial con-
troll, 1t aims directly at the exclusion
of interposition by non-American pow
ers. The principle OF exclu-
sion embodies policy of self-defense
on the part of the United States; it
Is a policy set up and applied by the
United States"
Taking up the relationship between
American policy toward Europe and
the Monroe Doctrine. he said:
I'VE entered the great war not vio-
ating our tradition, for the cause of
liberty itself was at stake. We have
emerged from the war with the same
general aims that we. had before we
went in. Though victors we have
sought neither territory nor general
separations. Our people have borne
heir own burdens and in large part
we are bearing the burden of others.
I'VE are not seeking to dictate to
Europe or to deprive any one of
rights But we do desire peace and
economic recuperation in Europe"
