Sick Woman Is Saved on
Giving Alarm.

One house was destroyed and three
others damaged this afternoon by fire,
which swept through a row of four
houses, situated about 800 yards of the
Jefferson Davis Highway, in South
Washington, Va. All the tenants are
colored. Quick work by the Alexandria,
Va, Fire Department prevented the fire
from spreading.
Dora Tharp, about 40 years old, was
carried from a sick bed by her daugh-
ter and other tenants after she raised
the alarm. The fire started in her
quarters, supposedly from an overhead
ed stove.
The property belonged to the Milton
Hopfenmaier estate The representa-
tive of the estate estimated the damage
at $4,000.

Difficulties at Bombay and
Lucknow Held More signifi-
cant Than Other Riots

London. May 2S.-F-Although
casualty totals were less. events of
the past two days at Bombay and
Lucknow, alarmed Indian observers
today more than rioting at Dacca,
and at Rangoon. where more than so
persons have been killed and 750 in
jured.
The Rangoon disorder is only re-
motely connected with the Indian
civil disobedience campaign, while the
disturbance at Dacca has been com:
munal and non-nationalist in nature.
But at Bombay and Lucknow the
rioting has been directed against
British authority, and has not lacked
effectiveness. -.
At Bombay. particularly, did the
situation inspire apprehension. The
rioting Monday and Tuesday was in
Bhendi Bazaar. Moslem quarter, with
crowds Of Moslems making direct at
tack on the police. Four persons were
