With Passing Counterfeit
Fiat Money.
CHIHUAHUA, Mexico, April 2.—Ed-
ward A. Powers, United States consular
agent at Parral, was arrested by the
Constitutionalist authorities at Parral
today on a charge of passing counter-
feits of the Constitutionalist fiat money.
Mr. Powers telegraphed to Marion
Letcher, American consul here, of his
plight and Letcher said he would de-
mand the immediate release of Powers.
E. E. Johnson, cashier, and F. A. Haw
kins, assistant manager of the Alvarado
Mining and .Milling Company, both Amer-
icans. were arrested on similar charges
yesterday
on
and Consul Letcher is looking
after their interests.
It is asserted that the men are not
guilty. The fiat « urren< y# was cheaply
printed and soon a large number of coun-
terfeits appeared. For a time eveu offi-
cials could not tell the geuuiue from the
spurious.
The Americans who were arrested, it is
said, bought the money in good faith for
the purpose of paying employes, and Mr.
Letcher expects little trouble in straight-
ening out the difficulty.
WASHINGTON, D. 0.. April 2.—Offi-
cials here did not comment tonight on the
«ase of Consular Agent Powers, of whose
arrest no official notice has been received.
It was taken for granted that Consul
Letcher would do all necessary to protect
Powers' intere>ts and that a report of the
situation would be made to the State De-
partment tomorrow.

no especial reason why Mr Lind should
come to Washington, as his reports had
been comprehensive and adequate.
Except for the five-day trip to Pass

scout cruiser Chester, when he did not go
ashore. Mr. Lind has been constantly ob-
serving Mexican affairs during periods
alternately critical and tedious.
LIND SKEPTICAL OF SUCCESS.
When .he visited the President at Pass
Christian. Mr. Lind spoke of the ill-effect
the tropical climate had hail on his health,
but declined the President's invitation to
return to the United States, preferring to
continue further his work of observation.
His request for a vacation at this time
was regarded as significant in official
circles. It was taken to mean that he
saw no prospect of General Huerta yield-
ing the reins of government in the City of
Mexico through diplomatic persuasion, and
that affnirs would remain in
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., April His-
toric St. Augustine, the oldest city in the
United States, early today was swept by
fire which left iu its wake the serious in-
jury of two winter visitors, the destruc-
tion of records and curios dating back to
the days of Spanish rule in the Sixteenth
Century and a property loss estimated
tonight at $400,000. t .
Winter visitors from the North in live
tourist hotels which were destroyed, tied
into the streets before daybreak, many of
them leaving valuable personal belongings
to be burned. Several of the guests es-
caped clad only in their sleeping apparel.
The personal loss of visitors iu the fire
has not been determined.
liescue work performed by the employes
of the Florida House, where the lire orig
inated, is believed to have saved many
lives. Goiug through the smoke tilled
halls they quickly aroused sleeping guests
and aided them in finding their way out
of the burning building.
TWO HURT BY JUMPING.
Notwithst;'.;«ui:or efforts by the Florida
House employes, about twenty five guests,
who were slow in being aroused, were
rescued by firemen by the use of ladders.
Although all persons remaining in the
building were warned not to jump, fire-
men were unsuccessful in preventing two
persons from Jumping from the second
floor of the Florida House to the ground.
They were: Miss Alice M. Smith. Am-
herst, Nova Scotia, and W. F. Giddings
of Granby. Quebec. Miss Smith sustained
nji Injured spine and broken leg.
Her condition was reported tonight by
physicians J\t a local hospital to be criti-
cal". One of Mr. Giddings' ankles was
broken and he was otherwise hurt, but
physicians tonight said he would recover.
Several other persons received minor in-
juries.
As soon as the extent of the fire became
apparent, Co. G, Florida National Guard,
was called out. The soldiers formed fire
lines to keep spectators from the firemen
in their efforts to stop the flames ami
later gtiarded the lulus of the burned
bulMings to prevent possible attempts at
looting.
Beside the Florida House, the other ho-
tels destroyed by the fire, which started
shortly after 1 o'clock this morning, were
the Munsen House, the Clairmont Hotel,
the Central Hotel and the Atlantic Hotel.
COURTHOUSE BURNS.
The St. John's County courthouse, which
contained many historic old records also
was burned. The records, however, are
believed to have been saved as they were
in safes. These are as yet in the ruins.
The Vedder House, one of the most, famous
landmarks of /the city, and In which was
kept the collection of the St. Augustine
Historical Society, also was destroyed.
Much other property of smaller value
was destroyed, Including several private
residences.
The presence of mind of Charles Hop-
kins saved speedboats here for the South-
ern championship speedboat races and
valued at. $50,000 from destruction. When
the flames attacked the boat houses over-
looking Matanzas Sound he cut the boats
loose and pushed them into the bay. AH
floated to safety.
The fire caused the postponement of I
the races today. They probably will be
resumed tomorrow.

TRICT CONFERENCE, IN SES-
SION AT PLEAS AN TON.
William E. Kelly has stepped from the
ranks of letter carriers to be the post-
master of one of the largest offices in the
United States. President Wilson nomi-
nated him for postmaster in Brooklyn and
the Senate confirmed him on the same
day. Mr. KelJy didn't wbrk his way up.
He took off his uniform to don citizen's
clothes when lie took charge of the Brook-
lyn postoffice.
But he had advanced in another line,
which showed be had the kind of ability
the President, was looking for. For more
than six years he has been president of
the National Association of Letter Car-
riers. and last year his re-election was
unanipious.
He started in the service in I80i>. He
was one of the first to join the National
Association of Letter Carriers. He was
chosen president of the Brooklyn branch
of tlie association and held that place until
j907. when he was elected National presi-
dent. Each year since he has been re-
elected. ' The last convention was held in

the most compact and efficient of labor
organizations.

CHICAGO, 111., April 2.— Chicago house
wives are more economical in their cook-

any of the large cities of the country, ac-
cording to a report made public today by
experts employed by the city waste com-

This conclusion was arrived at when it
was estimated that Chicago's per capita
waste production is less than in other
largo cities. Thrifty and frugal house-
wives were given the credit of being the
chief factor.
