EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. IT.
Three persons persisted today in a
fire which destroyed the interior of
the Edward Lowe home here.
The dead: Mrs. Marie Lowe, ST;
Henry Lowe, "a, her son; Howard
Lowe, 6, her grandson.
Chester Lowe, 80, another son,
was burned slightly. He escaped by
jumping from an upstairs window
when threatened with suffocation.
Howard was the son of William
Lowe, Detroit, Mich. The child had
been living with his grandparents
since last fall.
One Occupant Escapes
Only one occupant of the two
story frame dwelling, Julia Lowe,
10, daughter, escaped unframed
Her father Edward, is employed
as night custodian at the Owls
Club and was not home. He did
not learn Of the fire until he was
on his way to the house about 4
a. m.
Mrs. Lowe and Julia, both sleep
ing in a downstairs room, we're first
to be awakened by the flames. They
ran screaming down the street in
their night clothes, asking for help
They went about a block and re-
turned.
Meanwhile, Mr.. and Mrs w. S.
Day, neighbors, had been awakened
by the shouts. They reached the
house just in time to restrain Julia
from rushing back into the smoke
and flames.
Girl Turns in Alarm
They were too late, however, to
keep Mrs. Lowe from going in in
an attempt to save her two sons and
grandson, who were asleep in an
upstairs room.
Just as she plunged into the
house, Chester jumped from an up
stairs window.
When f1remen extinguished the
flames, they found Mrs. Loves body
at the top of the stairs. The bodies
of Henry and Howard still we're in
their bed.
The alarm was turned in by Lu-
ellie Day, Is, who telephoned when
she heard the screams. She is a
pupil at Evansville Central high
school.

POPE PROTESTS
BULGARIAN RITE
Christening of Baby Prin-
cess Violated Agreement,
Is Charge.

By JRitCG Pres
SOFIA, Bulgaria, Jan. 17-Pope
Plus XXI officially has protested to
Foreign Minister Nicholas Mou-
chanof against use Of the Greek
Orthodox church ritual in the
christening ceremonies Of the in
FAINT princess, Marie Louise, daugh-
ter of King Boris III and Queen
Giovanni, born last Friday.
The protest, conveyed through
the papaI nuncio, Monsignor Ange
Joseph Roncalli, claimed the king
had been guilty Of a breach in his
solemn agreement, under which the
pope in 1880 granted special diSpen-
sation for his marriage to the
queen, formerly an Italian princess
and member of the Roman Cath
Ole church.
Foreign Minister Mouchanoff is
understood to have replied to the
pope, saying that his government
takes full responsibility for the act
The queen, daughter of the king
and queen of Italy, is a Roman
CathOIlc, ana 1t had been agreed
the children of their union be
brought up in her church, with the
exception of an heir to the throne.
The Bulgarian constitution re-
quires that the king and the crown
prince be Greek orthodox in their
religious faith, but makes no re-
strictions on other children in the
royal family.
The christening of the infant
princess took place early Sunday
morning practically in secret.
None outside the immediate fam
lily group and court was invited, and
it was believed even the young
queen was not informed in advance
Of the ceremony.
