FIXED IT 63
Probe Begun of Binghamton Hol
ocaust as Death List Grows.
Girls Trapped at Benches.
BINGHAMTON, N. Y, July 23
Searching parties* to-day worked in
the ruins of the building of the Bing
hamton Clothing Company seeking
bodies believed to be buried there.
Streams of water were played on
the building all night to cool them
enough to allow the rescue work to
begin. Workmen at daylight began
digging at the tons of charred timber
brick and mortar, in an effort to reach
the bodies still known to be buried in
the debris
At noon on Wednesday nineteen
bodies had been recovered. The death
list will roach 63. It was estimated.
Ten injured are in a hospital. Of th^
111 persons in the building at the
time the fire broke out only 38 ee-
cvped. Forty-four are missing.
Girls Mistake Alarm.
Belief thac the alarm was sounded
only as a fire drill, caused the great
loss of life. When the girls and worn
en working in the factory realized
that the building was burning the
main avenue of escape had already
been cut off. Instantly the other »*x
Its were choked with panic-stricken
girls. ,
Many reached th$> windows but the 1
firemen and others bent on rescuing
inmates were powerless to aid them,
owing to the rapidity with which the
flames licked up the inflammable
mill material
Eighteen minutes elapsed from the
time the Are broke out until the
■walls fell and the building was in
ruins.
Fire Laid to Smoker.
Reed B. Freeman, president of the
company, attributes the fire to the
carelessness of an employee in throw
ing a cigarette butt under a stair
way, where inflammable material was
stored.
Smoking was prohibited in the
building, but many employees were
addicted to the habit, according to
Freeman, and often went to the alley
near the building to smoke.
Rtgid investigation of the Are will
be made by the authorities. They
will Investigate the charges made
that gasoline was stored in the build
ing, dangerously near the stairway
from the upper floors and that the
fire escapes were so exposed that
many victims were burned while try
ing to descend.

“Good Morning, Judge."
The universal verdict of the patrons
of the Bijeu is that this week's attrac
tion. “Good Morning. Judge,’’ is one of
the snappiest, liveliest and most pleas
ing musical comedies of the season, and
judging from the cordial reception that
has been given the attraction so far.
standing room will be at a premium the
entire week Differing from most of the
musical comedies that have, been offered
at the Bijou, "Good Morning, Judge,”
has a well-defined plot, which concerns
the election of a German brewer to the
mayoralty of his home town and the
many ludicrous situations that arises
when the good-natured brewer is forced
to assume the position of municipal
Judge

A delegation of Ansley Park citi
zens will go before the Streets Com
mittee of Council at its meeting a
week from Friday to protest against
the lack of work in Ansley Park and
to insist that Peachtree Circle and
South Prado, for which money has
been appropriated, be paved at once.
These citizens declare they will de
mand to know' who is responsible for
the delay. The money was appro
priated January 1 The property own
ers are to pay a greater proportion
than the city. Yet not a pick has
been stuck in the park during t,he
seven months of the year, with the
exception of one short block on Lom
bardy street.
Mayor Woodward declared Wed
nesday that little relief from such
conditions could be expected so long
as our present system of government
was in effect. He said he had been
trying to tell the people all the year
that they could not trace responsi
bility in matters of such gross incom-
petency and negligence.
“This new charter of Council’s the
Legislature is about to submit to the
people • s far worse,” he said. “It
provides for a board to supervise the
construction department, which will
be about as satisfactory as the re
mainder of our boards.
"The Ansley Park citizens will have
to frighten fhe whole city government
into action to get any real results.”

Debate on Resolution, Guaran
teeing American Citizens’
Rights Abroad, Is Resumed.
WASHINGTON, July 23.—Debate
on the Fall resolution, guaranteeing
constitutional rights to American
citizens abroad and protection to
their property, was resumed w'hen
the Senate convened to-day.
Though the wording of the resolu
tion was general there was no at
tempt to cloak the fact that the Mex
ican crisis is the issue.
Senator Fall said in regard to the
j Mexican situation that no greater
j error could be made than a contin- (
1 nance of the dilatory tactics pursued
| by the United States in the past.
I Agreeing with Fall in this view were
j a large number of Senators in both
j sides of the chamber.
Many held the opinion that the
I Senate should take no hasty nor un- I
toward steps. An incendiary state-
I ment by that body might fan Mexi
can resentment against Americans
Into flame and cause diplomatic com*
j plications, it was believed.
President and Bacon
Confer on Mexico.
WASHINGTON, July 23.—President
Wilson to-day summoned Represen
tative Flood, chairman of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs, and
Senator Bacon, chairman of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee, to
the White House to confer on condi
tions in Mexico.
The delicacy of the present situa
tion enforced a policy of secrecy at
the White House, but it was asserted
that the purpose of to-day’s confer
ence was to discuss the advisability
of removing the ban from shipments
of arms and ammunition to the con
stitutionalists in Northern Mexico.
General Carranza and other revolu
tionists have been pleading for weeks
for the removal of this prohibition,
claiming that they are entitled to the
same privileges accorded to the Ma-
derists by President Taft.
It is doubtful if any decisive move
will he made until after the removal
<>f Ambassador Wilson, but It is prac
tically certain that this Government
will favor the removal of the prohi
bition relative to the shipment of
arms to the rebels and then will await
developments in the hope of estab
lishing a stable government in Mex
ico.
U. S. Prepared to
Act on Short Notice.
WASHINGTON, July 23.—Dispatch
of a gunboat to Mexican waters, in
addition to the four battleships al
ready there, the presence of Secretary
of War Garrison and General Leonard
Wood on the Texap* border and the
summoning of Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson to Washington are taken
to indicate the intention of official
circles here that the Mexican situa
tion will no longer be allowed by
President Wilson to drift.
Reports from Chihuahua and Coa-
huila indicate the centralization of
the Federalist forces in those prov
inces and the opening of railroad
communication from the capital to
the border within a week.

Reuben Arnold said Wednesday
that the defense would ask for no

for such imperative reasons as the
absence of material witnesses or the

that no move will be made by the de
fense for further delay in the trial
unless an emergency arises of the
sort described by Attorney Arnold.
Informal conferences between the
counsel in the Crawford will case
and those in the Frank case, in both

announcement that the persons in

In Boulder. Colo., the diaphanous
'silhouette skirt may be worn In the
shade only.
AND
In Lima, Ohio, this revealing gar
ment of line without substance Is
absolutely taboo.
BUT
In Atlanta to-day Mayor Wood
ward averred that the new gown
problem was one for women only to
decide upon for themselves.
Atlanta will not try to regulate
9kirts. A spirit of conservatism has
marked the police department since
the vindication of Miss September
Morn, who was discovered in a moun
tain pool in the show window of
a book store.
The skirt question has been before
the people ever since Mrs. Adam,
more generally known under her mai
den name of Eve, first appeared
garbed in the foliage of the ancient
ficus carlca.
There are those who hold the mod
ern tendency is back to the foliage
skirt, not the fig leaf, but possibly
the leaf of the asparagus fern or
other chiffon-like vegetable.
How Other Towns View It.
Miss Mary Lindsay, of Lima, Ohio,
the town named after the well known
bean, has been arrested because her
slit skirt left practically nothing io
conjecture.
The Mayor of Boulder. Colo., has is
sued an order in which he admits that
a woman may wear as thin a skirt
as her taste and the weaver’s art will
allow. But he insists that it be worn
on the shady side of the street only.
The courts will probably have to
decide the course to be taken by a
fashionably gowned women when the
s'un at the zenith illuminates both
sides of the street.
“It’s Up to Them,” Says Mayor.
Mayor James G. Woodward de
clared that he certainly would not
undertake to tell women how to
dress.
And the policy of all the members
of his administration would be *o
leave these matters entirely with the
women.
"If they can stand it, I can," he
said. "It doesn’t bother me and I
don’t think it any business of the
police to interfere.
"Whether it’s a silhouette skirt or
a sheath gown, it’s entirely up to
them.”
Anniston’s Mayor
Missed the Shock.
ANNISTON, July 23.—Annistonian?

Frogs Oust Mice as
Bogies of Fair Sex
PORT CLINTON, OHIO, July 23.—
Thousands of frogs are migrating
overland from the marshes of Lake
Erie and the Portage River to San
dusky Bay. In the evenings when
they lift up their voices their num
bers seem to have been multiplied to
millions. They fill the roads and
streets and hundreds hop into homes.
Nervous women have become more
afraid of the clammy little frogs than
of the proverbial mice.
