BLAZE IN S.FAIRHILL STREET
Six children, two of them very ill.
were wrapped in blankets nnd carried
to safety by their mothcra when fire
threatened to destroy their home nt
1310 South Fnirhill street this morning.
The fire was in the home of Michael
Disposto. Four of the children were his
and two were the daughters of his sister,
a widow, living in the same house. All
were in bed when Ihc fire began.
Two of the children, Kvn.and Susie
Delgnrdc, eleven and nine years old,
resxcctively, daughters of the bister,
Mrs. Philomcna Dcbarde, were very
sick, Eva with pneumonia and Sualc
with a fever.
Mrs. Disposto discovered the fire in
the kitchen shortly after her husband
left for work The flames had ngood
start and were spreading rapidly,
threatening to cat their way lip tq
the second ilooi..
She called Mrs. Delgardo and the two
women ran upstairs to awaken the
children. Kva was quickly wrapped in
a blanket by Kirs. Delgnrdc and car
ried to the home of a neighbor. Susie
was cared for in the sfunc manner.
In the meantime Mrs. Disposto was
carrying her children lo the street in
blankets. After she hod taken Dorothy,
aged eight years, nnd Helen, aged three
years, to a neighbor's home, help ar
rived and Rita ..and Kllen. aged two
years and ten months respectively, were J
quicuiy carrteu to saiciy.
A passing pairoimnn saw- uiq snione
pouring from the rear of, the house
and turned in nn alarm. When the
firemen arrived tho kitchen wns virtually
destroyed and the rest ot the house was
In grave-danger.
After a short but stubborn fight the
fire was conquered. The damage was
estimated at several hundred dollars.
Eva's condition became so much
worse after the experience that Mr?.
Delgarde said she would send her to a
hoiipitaL Susie also was affected ad
versely by th,o exposure, hut Mrs. Del
garde will keep her at home. " None of

Director of Supplies; Supports

BREACH IN BODY WIDENS
Joseph S. MncLaughlin, chairman ot
the Mnyor's market commission, iu the
face of a split in that body this after
noon took full responsibility for the
ten-per-ceut cost stores established
here.
"What J did was done In my enpn
city of director of the Depnrlment of
Supplies," said Mr, MacLnughlin, who
resigned that cabinet post lo run for
Major on the Charter party ticket.
'T wanted to give the market' com
mission credit for the Btores which were
designed to lower the cost of living
In this city. The objection raised by
some members who sny the (tore.s were
unauthorized by the commission is well
taken,"
Calls Commission Meeting
Mr. MacLnughlin announced he has
called a meeting of the commission for
Thursday afternoon next, in the
Major's reception room, City Hall.
"I will call for the reports of com
mittee chairmen," he Knld "and what
ever objections members may have
'against the 10 pec cent stores may be
voiced then.
"Whatever I have done iu the mat
ter I have done for patriotic reasons
and for the accommodation of the pub

npcd not be niarmed. They will not
be held responsible for the s"tores."
Starled Willi Army Sales
The former director said lie had
originally been asked to nld the sale of
army nnd nnvy goods, 'ihc request
had been made to him in his capacity
as director of supplies, he added.
With the sale of army and navy
supplies a starting point, Mr. Mac

did it, he said, to aid the commission's
study of marketing conditions and in
tended to make a full report to Ihc

The breach In the commission widened
today, somo members asserting the
establishment of 10-per-ceutobove-cost

of Jenkins's Release
lil I'.imi. Te.. Dec. 1. (By A

lenf here today that William O.
Jenkins. American consular agent at
Piii'bla. Mexico, hud been liberated
from jail. Andres G. Garciu, con
Mil general for .Mexico hero, jlnid
he hud heniil the report, but n,o
verification of the rumor had been
received.
I!y Assoclaled Prcjs
Washington, Dec. 1. Itcnewing its
request for the immrdlntc release of
Consular Agent Jenkins, imprisoned nt
Puebla. the latest American note to
Mexico, made public here (odny, ar
raigns (he Mexican Government's con-
i duct in severe-lernis and characterizes It
I as a studied attempt to ensnnre the
i -I
I American consular ngeul in the intrl-
jcaclrsif legul proceedings.
No.'uIUmntum wn's t-crved nnd io In-'
i dication was given oLwhnt Ihc Amjer-
lean Government's course would be If
. ;ISiGK'ns '.V,nt Iminedlntelyjleased.
I Tlie tTnited SlatesjtJio'uote says,. Is
I "constrained to the oplullin"' thdl Cnrr
ranzn arguments that thc case Is be
I ing investigated, and that Jenkins has
nof. taken (opportunity to bo released on
nail, urc 'mere excuses.
Final Vote by United Stales
This government does not admit, the
nolo mijs, that it is necessary to keep
.Tonkins in jail while his case is bring
investigated, nnd this government ''fnila
to discern" that Ihc , "intricacies of
the Mexican penal law" have been ap
plied with iniparti.il effect to Jenkins.
State Department officials declined to
discuss the note, but in other quar
tets the belief wns expressed that It
emphatically slates the vlcwsot this
government nnd Indicates it will be the
last ou the subject, as Secretary Lans
ing already has stated that officials here
show no Inclination to go into a long
diplomatic discussion of technicalities.
Jenkins was imprisoned for "render
ing false judicial testimony" in connec
tion with the abduction of which he wag
the victim, sujs the nolo, "In whose
interest is the charge of false swearing
brought agulust Jenkins." asks the
note. "His nbdiictorsV The Mexican
government is piosecuting the victim
instead of the perpetrators ot the
cu'me."
Te.vt of lxinsing's Note
The text of the note us transmitted
bj the American charge 'at Mexico City
follows-
1 huvo not fulled to transmit to
my government the note ot Mexican
Government dated November 20,
Hllll, with refoionce to thc cat,e of
William O. Jenkins. American con
sular agent at Puebla, and I am
now in receipt of a reply fr,im the
governmeut of the United States
which 1 nm instructed immediately
to transmit to jou.
The government of the United
Stntcs declined to be drawn into a
juridical discussion ot irrelevant
mutters or unliuportupt incidents
brought f urn aril in connection with
this case. The Mexican Government
cannot be misled, as it intimates, by
the citation by the United States "of
no principle of piccedent of inter
national law and not even a rcasou"
or Jcnkin's reJense; for obviously no
such citation is necessary for tho en
lightenment of a governmeut of the '
present day.
lteonest rounded nn Justice
The Mexican Government believes,
nnd rightlj so, time the American re
quest for Jenkins's release is not
based on "solel- the strength i( the
(ouutry which makes it," for it know
tho request is founded on the justice
ot the right of nn American .citizen
and United States consular officer W
fair treatment while residing nnd dis
charging his duties within Mexican
juiisdtctlon witli the knowledgo and
apptoval of the Mexican Govern
ment, The Mexican Government may
contend tlmt the Imprisonment of the
victim is necessury for the Investi
gation by a judge under the "eou
stunt vigilance of public opinion" ot
the truth regarding his ubductlou nud
thut u right of release on ball Ir c
palliative for such wrongful impris
onment, but the United Stales Is
constrained to the opinion that uo
nrguinents, nrc inerc excuse,.
