Investigation Started in
 Fall River About Fire

Fall River. Mass, Feb. ' (UP)- Believing Thursday nights disas- trous fire to have been incendiary, Fall River fire officials planned to hold an inquest into the origin of the fire.
 Blazes in three different parts of the Pocasset Mills, where the fire had it's origin, were discovered by fremen. This fact has led officials to look to incendiarism as the cause of the fire, rather than carelessness of workmen.
 Dynamiting experts from Boston, after surveying the ruins of the Pocasset Mills yesterday. planned to dynamite the walls of the mills to- day as the first step in clearing the devastated area.

TWINS ARE SEPARATED
sia:nc>e Pair Operated Upon Allow ing One to Live-Child Saved An. pears to le Normal Baby.

Chicago, Feb. ! (UP)-An opera ton which severed Siamese twins and permitted one to live was re- Sealed here today. The twins were born on February 1, to Mrs. Frank Keller, in a little farm cottage near Marseilles. III. Dr. Paul F.. Clark, who attended the birth, said they were joined together in the lower part of the abdomen, in such manner that the same blood stream ran through both bodies.
 One child apparently was normal but the other showed no sign of life, except the blood circulation. 1nas- much as the circulation came from the heart of the other baby, Dr. Clark decided that an immediate op- eration was the only hope for the normal child
 It was impossible to perform the operation with the crude facilities at Keller's home. So a makeshift incu- bator was made. It consisted of q closed box, lined with blankets and containing hot water bottles.
 The conjoined twins were placed in the box and rushed to Rayburn hospital in Ottawa.
 Dr. J. H. Edgecomb. a specialist. was called. He agreed with Dr. Clark that an operation was necessary. Ether was administered to the baby and the connecting link of flesh sev- cred.
 The baby was given oxygen for eight hours to combat the effects of the ether. Finally little Meta Keller stirred, and in a few hours was be- ing taken back to her mother. The child is showing the natural development of a normal baby. il was reported today. .....

FISHERMEN HAVE YET
 10 BE DISCOVERED
Lake Erie Holds Secret As To Whether They Were
 Really Lost

Buffalo, N. Y.. Feb. ! (UP)-Lake Erie held today the secret of wheth- CT ten fishermen had gone to their death. An all-day search, ending at dusk yesterday, revealed no trace ot the men who were reported to have drifted away from the Canadian shore on an ice field Sunday.
 The search was conducted by air planes, ships and land patrols. Every inch of the area was scanned by of ficial searchers but nothing was found to indicate the men had been drowned.
 When the search was ended both American and Canadian police were of the opinion that an optical illu- sion caused the report of the strand ing. The fact that no fishermen were reported missing supported this the ory.
 Those who first reported the stranding 10 coast guardsmen here said they were less certain in their opinions. It was pointed out that the sun on an ice field sometimes caused mirage.

FOUR EXPLOSIONS OCCUR
 IN BIG FIRE IN CUBA
Lives Endangered at Plant Of Stand. ard Oil Go. Rescued %
 Aboard Battleahipa.

Havana. April 6.-LR-Firs raSed in the Standard Oil Company's Sls.- ooo,ooo refinery at Regla, across the harbor from Havana, today. Four explosions occurred within an hour after the fire was discovered at 10 o'clock last night'and frequent blasts occurred after midnight. al- though none was of sufficient force to cause added damage. Inhabitants were driven out Of the suburbs as the flames spread over . wide area surrounding the homes of the oil company officials The onicials held little hope that much would be saved in the storage area of tho re- finery. although a large force of fire fighters was on hand.
 Two hundred men from the United States battleship Wyoming were sent to Regla to aid in fighting the blaze. Twelve of these were later brought into the temporary Red Cross station established there suffering from minor burns and exhaustion. The en- tire Havana fire department also went to the refinery.
 The people fled from their homes and were taken aboard the Wyoming and the Cuban battleship Cuba A few of the women of the American colony remained at the scene to help the refugees SO long that 1t was fear ed that their lives were in danger. They managed to escape. however in the launches of the Wyoming which ferried the refugees across the har- bor.
 The flames disrupted telephone service into the stricken district and at times the lights went out for long periods. The naval vessels played their search lights on the scene to guide the refugees through the dense clouds of smoke.
 A large number of men were treated at the temporary Red Cross station for minor injuries. scalds and burns.
