Railroad Hill Home
 Destroyed By Blaze
Mysteries Fire Early This Morning Causes $l,OOO
 Damages Occupants Vacationing in Maryland

Damage of $1,060 or more was done early this morning by a mysterious fire which gutted the inssrior of a two-story house at 486 Railroad Hill street. Bremen battled the flames for an hour and a half, the last company returning to its station at o'clock this morn ine.
 The occupants of the house, MT. and Mrs. Antoine Cyr, have been away from home for two weeks, having left for a trip to Maryland. Tie property is owned by Louis Cipriano, who lives across the street.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his staff were today seeking to deter mine the cause of the blaze. The fire may have started from a cigarette butt carelessly disposed of by some vagrant who might have been using the house. The fire is believed to have started in or near a--couch on the first floor.
 Jugs of alcohol and gasoline were found on the premises, but tiremen were told that Cyr had been en- gagged in the dry cleaning business, which would explain the presence of- the dangerous infiammables. The Cyr family, now in Rosedale, Maryland, was informed of the fire by telegraph. Most of their furni- ture was destroyed or badly dam aged.

Phillips took his place and was giv- en the police board position. Mayor Hayes, it is understood, does not plan to renamS Phillips. Under the law there must be an alderman on each of the minor, appointive boards.
 Dubois May Drop
 There is also a question of May or Hayes reappointing Alderman C. Arthur Dubois to the board oi works. As all appointments now under the strong mayor charter, are for only two years, 1t is possible that Mayor Hayes will drop DuBoif as his aldemanic representative or that body in view of the fact that Alderman Griffin is also a member of the works board. Changes in al. dermanic appointments to the wei. fare, fire and health boards are al. so anticipated, reports indicate.

 The general staff agreed to meet th1s afternoon to vote on depriving Italy of a selected list of key pro- ducts.
 A communique revealed that the general staff, in it's continuous ses- sion, not only will watch the pro- gress of all penalties but will put such new penal proposals as it may think fit before the big penalties committee. It will appoint special sub-committees from its own mem- hership or that of the big commit tee.
 -ss Enforce Simultaneously 1t was expected that the vote would entail an agreement to en- force the penalties simultaneously in all league countries and it was indicated that the date for en- Sorcement might be October 31. E The first meeting was that of the sgeneral staff" of the league penal ties committee, composed of 18 key nations.
 !. It was expected to approve all three proposals and send them on to a meeting this afternoon of the big league penalties committee, comprising 52 nations, for imme- diate adoption. This is the final ap- proyal.
 The boycott proposal is that of : Great Britain. It provides for com- plete stoppage of export by Italy of all goods to League countries ex- cept gold and silver bullion-whose export would be a drain on Italy's already strained finances.
 Watching London
 For two days now, league leaders have been watching London, Paris and Rome with growing anxiety in fear that a program of legal pen- alties imposed under the league covenant might be pushed aside by Rraver developments.
 :. This tension was relieved to-day after encouraging reports from Paris and Rome of negotiations regarding the Mediterranean naval and mili- tary situation.
 It was hoped that danger of an Italian British clash had been end- ed, and that an eventual solution of the Italian-E Ethiopian war might be facilitated.
 ss But the firmness with which the league is moving to penalize Italy made more significant as regards it's unexpected swiftness by the Hull in
