PROPERTY LOSS TWO MILLION Combustion Probable Cause, But Hints At Incendiary Bombs Are Heard Many Jump For Lives. Baltimore. Fire at the Northern Central Railroad grnln elevator, No. 3, at Canton, resulted In one of the great est catastrophes Baltimore has Buffer ed for several years, A number of men met horrible deaths In the flames. The exact num ber may never be told, but the lowest estimates place the list of dead at 10. Three bodies have been found, nine men are known to be missing and one man Is expected to die in the Mercy Hospital as the result of his burns. Fully half a hundred more of the workmen were severely injured, and the majority of these were carried to Baltimore hospitals In police ambu lances, on railroad trains and on street cars. Some are seriously burned and may roll up the list of fatalities. The elevator was destroyed with all the grain In It Two ships lying off the elevator were heavily damaged by the flames, many men being Injured on one of them. A third ship, lying off the ore pier ad joining the elevator, suffered a slight loss. The grain pier Is a total loss and the ore pier Is heavily damaged. A Mysterious Explosion. ' No oOlcIal of the railroad nor any employe of the elevator can toll definitely the cause of the Are. Just before the flames broke out on the sec ond floor or cecond tier of bins of the elevator, there was heard an ex plosion, followed by the blowing out of the tiled side of the elevator at that point The theory that a bomb caused this has been advanced and will bo In vestigated. Another theory la that of spontane ous combustion. Many Incidents of heroism ennobled the tragedy of the fire. Tugboat cap tains steamed hurriedly to the pier and made heroic efforts to pull the steamers away, nnd also, with the aid of other craft, saved the lives of many men who Jumped from the elevator Into the water. Several women, the majority of them unable to ppeak English, crowdod about the pier crying frantically.' Their husbands and fathers were employed In the elevator, nnd probably were tmong the missing.

BORDER WILSON CALLS OUT J State Troops for Patrol Duty on Mexican Border. ' REPLY TO MEXICO'S THREAT The Order Will Summon 125,000 Millti, To the Various State Mobilization Camps A Day Of Feverish Activity At War Department Washington. President Wllsoa Sun day called out virtually the entire Na tlonal Guard of the country, number Ing 125,000 officers and men, for serv ice In defense of the Mexican border Tho President's action followed the receipt of reports from General Kuni. ton showing that the present force on the border would have to be greatly In. creased to protect it against raids. The calling out of the mllllla will also enable more of the regulars along the border to be sent into Mcxlce It any emergency, either in pursuit of bandits or for the reinforcement of tin expedition commanded by General Pershing if attacked by the de facto government The announcement that the Natloml Guard had been called Into the fed eral service was mado by Secretary Baker at 6.30 o'clock Sunday afternoon following a day of feverish activity In the War Department. Immediately thereafter Secretary Baker sent a telegram to every gover nor, calling all or part of the militia of that Stato "Into the service of the United States forthwith." These telegrams Indicated what proportion of the militia of each State was wanted. The governors weir asked to have the militia assembled it the mobilization poInU already deslit nated for each State. Secretary Baker Explains. Here Is the text of Secretary Eaker'i Announcement of tho call for militia: "In view of the disturbed condition.' on the Mexican border, and In order to insure complete order and protection for all Americans, the President hai called out substantially all State militia, and will send them to the bor der wherever and as fully as General Funston determines them to be needed for the purpose stated. . "If all are not needed an effort will be made to relieve those on duty there from time to time, so as to distribute the duty. "This call for militia Is wholly un related to General Pershing's expedi tlon, and contemplates no additional entry into Mexico except as may be necessary to pursue bandits who at tempt outrages on American soil. "The militia are being called out to as to leave some troops in the several States. They will be mobilized at their stations where necessary recruit lug can be done." War Strategists Busy. Feverish activity was- manifested at the War Department throughout the day, with secret conferences, inter rupted only by luncheon, between Sec rotary Baker, Generals Biks, ScUt and Mills. Before Mr. Baker departed for the White House Brigadlor Genoral M. M. Macomb hastened to the War De partment with i'war plans." A large force of officials was called to the de partment to perfect the details for transporting the troops. Telegrams from General Funston "poured into the department saying the situation U In coming hourly more dantorous in many border towns. The situation at Brownsvlllo was most alarming. Gen eral Funt-ton's dispatches were not made public, but they are understood to have emphasized the noco.-isity for roinforcemonts to the p.-e.ent border guard without delay. The adminl tra tlon has plainly become uneasy over General Trevlno's threat to attack Gen eral Pershing's troops If they moved in any other than a northerly direction. Forces Must De Recruited. General Mills, chief of the mllitis division, Informed militia heaeta in th various States that Infantry companies must be recruited to a minimum of 65 men, cavalry troops to 65 mon, com panies of engineer to 65 men and com panies of tho artillery to 136 men.

In many States, Including New York, Illinois, Massa chusetts, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio and others recruited te ft" strength, troops will be moving to their mobilization points within a few hours. The minimum militia strongth of the United States is 145,000. Tension More Acute.
