New Fire Terrorizes
Devastated Salem

swept Salem was startled by another
fire to-night on the rim of the dev
astated district. Hundreds were pan

were lighted up once more by an
ominous red glare.
The flames destroyed a two-story
tenement house. Out of the burning
house fled women and children, moth

further spread of the flames, and the
panic subsided.
Even 1,000 Years Ago
They Had Dentists
WASHINGTON, June 27.—Dr. Mar
shall H. Saville, Loubat professor of
American archaeology in Columbia
University, discovered in a trip to
Yicuador last year evidences of suc
cessful transplanting of human teeth
by dentists of Atacames more than
1,000 years ago.
“In a skull found on the right bank
of the Rio Atacames,’ writes Profes
sor Saville in the Bulletin of the Pan-
American Union, “is a right lateral
ir.cisor which _does not belong to the
jaw, but wasstransplanted to replace
the middle incisor. There seems to be
rno reason to doubt that the replace
ment was a genuine triumph of the
ancient dentists.”

President and Bryan Proceeding
Carefully and May Refer
Case to The Hague.
MWASHINGTON, June 26.<-That the
pending Javanese-imbrogiio with this
Government over the treatment ac
corded Japanese citizens in the State
of California through its adoption of
the anti-alien land law overshadows
the Mexican situation in importance
was indicated by State Department
officials to-day.
It is feared that fresh complica
tions of an international character
will be precipitited by the depart
ment's answer to the Japanese note
of August 20 last. The President and
Secretary Bryan are making every ef
fort to prevent any undue procedure
by either country, and there is much
discussion as to the possible reference
of the whole controversy to The
Hague tribunal for arbitration, or as
to possible mediation by friendly Eu
ropean nations.
It has been agreed by the two gov
ernnients to keep the diplomatic con
ferences secret until next week, when
the State Department’s reply to the
Japanese note will be made public.
