FIRE ENGINES RACE
 TO WRONG ADDRESS
Excited Woman Gives 20 Instead of 2O86 East
 Main Street

An excited woman who failed to give the right street address caused a spectacular scare in Ex- change Place late this morning. when two engines roared up in front of the Brown building. Fire men searched in vain for any sign of a blaze. and then went back to their stations.
 It turned out that the phone call had been for a fire at 2086 East Main street, which had already been sent~in as a box alarm and answered by Engine 5.
 The woman, however, in calling fire headquarters, gave the scene of the blaze as 20 East Main street instead of 2O86, thus causing the two engines to be sent to the Brown building.
 The fire at 2O86 East Main street, rapidly quelled, was in the chim- ney of a home occupied by Al Bandeloni. Little damage was done. Engine 10 and Truck 1 were the companies which raced va;nly to Exchange place.

gold hoardng and President Roosevelts executive orders under it.
 The Government had decided to ask dismissal of the case in view of CampbelTs action in turning back to the Treasury the twentyseven gold bars he held The gold estimated by the Government to be worth s200,o0o.
 One count in the indictment charging him with possessing gold violation of the Presidents execu- tive order was dismissed in New York Federal Court The New York court held good however, another count which charged him with violating the gold hoarding by failing to report gold he possessed
 The United States appealed the ruling dis missing one of the counts, but did not immediately docket it in the Supreme Court Campbell did so however in an effort to obtain early opinion on the validity of the Administrations action.
 James c. Biggs Solicitor General explaining his motion to dismiss, said that all the gold involved in the case had been delivered to the Government This left nothing be litigated. Campbell returned the gold under protest Biggs said Officials ex- pected Campbell to bring proceedings to test the validity of the gold hoardng act and to recover possession of the gold he has delivered

Indignant Generation.
(Omaha World Herald.)

The generation is partly young in age but it contains many who are ripe with years Ii it is to be distinguished by adjective it may be termed the indignant generation.
 Its indignation is directed at leadership which proved either false to it's trust or incompetent It is directed against philosophies that have been found hollow.
 The indignant generation has observed for ex- ample that many of the same bankers who now monetary policy have as yet remained silent at the revelations of profteering by some of the men who yesterday their leaders.
 The indignant generation is aware that the same economists who seek to alarm the wage earn by platitudes forget the platitudes they uttered to soothe and disarm the people in the hell for leather period of the fraudulent boom
 The indignant generation notes that the same politicians to whose lips come so readily the cheap dent whose every public utterance, from the day lof his inauguration, has been free of demagogc words of political claptrap
 The indignant generation is impatient with fuss budget judges, techncalty lawyers panderng journalists, venal office holders, boss ridden poli- ticians doddering diplomats It is through with a group whose history has been attempt to run the Government for the benefit of the few with the crumbs dropping down to the many. It won't have leadership silent and inactive and incompet- ent in times of stress but vociferous and blatant when the strain begins to It is through with formulas that work only when everything is going well
 The indignant generation is a considerable part lof todays body polite It is courageously and fdenty bent reconstructng way of life in which men may find work, live in reasonable comfort, and be happy. If it destroys a few pet illusions in the process much the better

THE CARNERA-LOUGHRAN FIGHT.

The championship fight at Miami Florida, last night is called gigantic financial flop for the champion Primo Camera; the challenger, Tommy Loughran, and the promoters, the Madison Square Garden.
 Here is brief summary of the Miami annual heavyweight fistic festivals during the past few winters:

 The fight last night did not seem to indicate it would prove to be drawing card from the start What chance has Loughran to take the title away from the grinning man mountain from Italy, queried Alan Gould Associated Press Sports Writer Nc more than 10 to l. he answered and that seems to be the ratio of patronage and interest taken in the event
 It is difficult to how even so clever boxer as Loughran could score sufficiently points to offset the probable damage he would absorb in close-range scuffing with his giant opponent Loughran never has had the hitting power and endurance that marked Gene Tunneys rise to the heavyweight heights but let it may be said that boxer of note has travelled quite so far as Tommy on limited fighting equipment

To attempt the coast on foot would doubtless end with more success for himself. It might take him days to accomplish that; 1t would be too late. then. to rescue his companions supposing the rain continued and they were unable to get out of the valley.
 A sudden thought struck him at this point: Langton hinted that the high-priest knew way to get out. Perhaps the ahkin had been but biding his time until he had but a crippled man and a helpless girl to put some sinister plan of his owp into operation.
 ERANK wiped the dripping rain | from his face. He thought with a slight bitterness that it was a trick of life to give a man not two alternatives. but three or more. It increased the odds against his be- ing right in the one he chose.
 He looked down at the pool of the cenote. He saw the break in the wall from whence he had foated. On the other side he observed that the roof of the continuing cavern was a scant three feet above the water level.
 Doubtless driftwood had damned that exit causing the water in the pool to rise. However it would not be long before that dam would crack through and the whole system of the underground river would be gorged with turmoil of floating brush. logs and debris.
 He descended to the pool and waded in. He gave no thought to the reptiles that might be lurking in it's depths. nor to the possibility that the cavern might be choked at the farther end in which case he would never see daylight again.
 He had taken those chances de- liberately that morning when he had left Janice; the situation had not been altered. He splashed to- ward the exit where the water swirled under the three foot arch.
 Just before he made the plunge beneath the arch hs SEW the alli- gator again. He was lying on the bank his malevolent little eyes fixed on Frank.
 Then there was only darkness.

boiling of muddy water marked it's disappearance into the cenote.
 Grahame repressed a slight shud- der. He knew alligators: sometimes they attacked a man. but usually not. Although his knowledge was practical and iungle-bred and did not conform to popular belief. never theless the sight Of the reptiles al- ways gave him that a.avistic sensa- tion of skin crawling upon his back.
 With the footing firm beneath him he left the water and climbed up- ward to the edge of the cenote.
 It was then that he realized that it was raining. Raining with the in- sistent steady downpour that told him that the rainy season was in- deed upon them. It would be only matter of days now-perhaps hours before the cayerns and cenotes would be flooded.
 He looked about him. The dim jungle pressed upon him from all sides. Only vaguely could he esti- mate the points of the compass. Swiftly he analysed the alternatives confronting him.
 He could attempt return to Jan ice and Billy. But even with com pass. supplies, machete, and fire arms it would take him days to reach them even supposing he might find their cenote valley readily-a chance as remote as finding the pro- verbal needle.

2n YEARS AGO
From The Empire

MARCH 2, 1914.
 J. W. Fraser, of the Westerner Magazine, was in Juneau in the interest of his publication and an- nounced that the May issue was to be an Alaskan celebration num- Der and wished cooperation in procuring material.
 Weather for the previous twen- ty-four hours was cloudy with rain, maximum temperature of 38 and minimum of 32.
 The Rochelle, Capt. w B. Knight, of the new Pacific Steam ship Company, operating between Portland and Southeast Alaska, ar rived in Juneau in the morning bringing cargo of coal. hay, feed, salt and other materials for local use. It was the first of the new line to arrive in Alaska.
 The demand for houses in Ju- neau was becoming every day more acute with the greatest need, that for small cottages from four to five rooms One real estate agency reported a waiting list of more than forty.
 Catholic citizens and societies of Douglas were making plans for a big dance to be held in the nata- torium on March IT.
 M. P. Hurd, of Mount Vernon, Washington, former member of the Washington State Legislature and former prosecuting attorney for Skagit County, was in Juneau. He planned to continue to Chisana with several associates and was to spend the summer in Alaska.
 J. R. Whipple, assistant general manager of the Alaska -GaStineau Mining Company, and of the Ken sington Mines Company, returned from a trip of inspection with very satisfactory reports. The ore body, which it was hoped would be encountered in the Johnson lead, running parallel to the Eu- reka and Kensington leads, had been found in the Kensington crosscut tunnel which had been extended into the Johnson tunnel, he said.

Supposing that from this point on, the current flowed sluggishlyl A chill that was not from the water swept him.
 As he splashed forward. hoping to assist with the effort his down stream progress, he began to be aware that ahead of him there glowed a light that was not the greenish yellow of phosphorus.
 He could not let himself believe that grayish dimness that suffused the blackness ahead of him was the end of the cavern. His disappoint- ment. he knew. would be too keen The clumsy life belt impeded his progress; yet he dared not dispense with it lest some weakness over. come him. or some mishap occur.
 A vagrant eddy caught him and hurried h.m ward. He was whirled di1zyingly for an instant He bumped against buttress Of rock projecting into the channed The stream made twist to the left: then to the right.
 Suddenly he foated into day light! Sudden pain stabbed his eyes He shut them tightly for an instant. then slitted them against the unac customed light.
 He was in cenote. II was not so large as the one below the pyramid nor so high-walled as the extensive one where he had left Langton and Janice Kent.
 It seemed. however. deeper The water flooded within fl to a high level on the cliffs. At one edge the cliff had broken down. shrubbery and creepers grew upon it. With an ejaculation of hope he raddled to- ward it. Perhaps from here he could gain the level above.
 Instantaneously the thought came to him that could he somehow get word to Billy and Janice that they could drift down to here on the raft and once above ground. could chop through the jungle to the coast.
