FIRE BOYS GET
FLYING START
FOR YEAR 1924

Members of the FL Centre fire
department were given a flying start
on the new year when they were
called out this morning by an alarm
from box 81 at Fifth and Park
streets, for blaze in lodging
house at 421 Park street.
Prompt respoTse by the depart
ment, and efficient work done by
,lie members, prevented what mrght
have been disastrous fire, eonsid
iering the heavy wind that was blow
ing at the time. The fire is believ-
ed to have Started from a lighted
cigarette 'carelessly thrown near q
pile of newspapers, which became
ignitcd, A brisk frte was soon blaz
ing merrily and an alarm was turned
in while inmates of the lodging
house threw buckets of water on the
blaze.
The firemen laid line Of hose
down Park street, and were ready
for any emergency, in case the fire
started to spread. The lodging
house is in the m.lst of q small
group of shacks. All are Of flinlsy
construction and would nave burned
like tinder had they become ignited.
Chief Ferguson remarked that he
did not like to start the new year
effgwith fire, but ifsit had 10 be-
he was glad that il was not Serious
and that the members of the departs
ment were ON the Job.

Of the liquor, based on tho retail
Price, is estimated TO be in tho
neighborhood Of $4,000.
The ranch was visited early. in
the afternoon, and the men were
taken into custody. At first only
eight demijohns of the completed

The celebration, which got away
to late start because of heavy
rain that fell steadily during the
early evening, increased in fervor
during the night.
Motor traffic was banned from
Broadway. and the revelers paraded
the wet streets or sat on convenient
curbs. Various stages of intoxica-

natured kind whrch found the po-

lenient.
Automobiles with dynamite in
stead Of gasoline in the carburetors
topped everything else in the noise
making, which lasted throughout the
night.
All cafes and dance halls were
crowded. With dry officers agree

proprietors would prohibit drinking,
the merriment was unsubdued. No
one denies the hosts attempted TO
prevent imbibing, but what chance

terials are to be shipped to the Obre
eon government of Mexico by the
Washington administration, remain
ed as much mystery as ever today.
Major General John l.. Hines, de-
putty chief-of staff at the war de-
apartment, through whom orders for
the despatch of war supplies to
Mexico would have to pass, said that
so far he has handled no such ord
Secretary of War Weeks intends to
follow. While it is known that Sec
retary Weeks has not been IN full
agreement withth decision an
rounced by Secretary of State
Hughes for the sale Of munitions of
war to Mexico, Hughes is proceeding
ON the theory that the decision has
been reached and the execution Of
the sale now is purely a matter Of
detail ODE arranged by the war de-
partment.
y Hughes is understood to have the
support Of President Coolidge.
There was no indication at the
state department today that Hughes
would reply to the formal protest
filed with the department by repre-
sentatives Of Adolfo De la Huerta,
leader Of the revolution in Mexico,
against the decision to aid Obregon.
Members of congress studied fur
her the move announced by Hughes.
t is certain that the question will

ionses of congress.
Representative Fairchild, New
