Firemen, the association urged, should be absolutely familiar with every door S&d every item which would in any way modify fire hazard in their home v «fties. Not only that, the association believes, but every citizen should know for himself the hazards that 4 »ay be hidden in school and other lluildings.

JUrs Cattle of Nineteen States. _ .r-v; 'v Illinois has put up the bars against .V: ;./tfairj' cattle from 19 specific states. The action follows the emphatic de- fnaad from the state live stock com- 0'- inission that none but cows certified as i0: free from bovine tuberculosis shall be /permitted to cross the state border, ^s corning from the states under suspi- sp," r <clon. Governor Dunne issued his pro- py fcibltory proclamation on advice of the jjif . 'live stock board. PI? / Tlle state8 ruled against, as set out jljPt" j. •, 'i/., *n the executive proclamation, are; -ft ' New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, HjjC-jS West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, W^Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, ^ ^Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dako­ ta, Montana and Texas. ' Governor Dunne said investigation .made through the live stock commis­ sion has demonstrated that serious conditions are existing particularly in the vicinity of Chicago, requiring the extreme measures taken by the issu­ ance of the executive proclamation. The proclamation puts up no bars againqt cattle shipped into the state ; for immediate slaughter, but runs only ^against cattle imported for dairy pur- : • poses. Cannot Increase I. N. CL Adjt. Gen. Frank B. Dickson, reply­ ing to the question put to him by Gov. E. F. Dunne, answered that it will be legally and physically impossible to in­ crease the strength of the Illinois Na­ tional Guard to the minimum required by "Circular 8" of the war department. Governor punne thereupon let it be- cpme known that an executive order will iSe issued shortly abolishing the division, aB such, and making changes in the organization of the military forces as will be required by the war department, effective on January 1. Adjutant General Dickson, at Govern nor Dunne's direction, departed for Washington to consult with the war department over the reorganization contemplated. Adjutant General Dickson, in hi* re­ ply to Governor Dunne, held: "1. It would be legally impossible to increase the existent organization to meet the required strength with af­ firmative action on the part of our gen­ eral assembly. "2. From a financial viewpoint the maintenance of additional organiza­ tion such as is required to conform with 'Circular 8,' would be Impossible without materially increased appropri­ ations by the general assembly and certainly could not be maintained with­ in the present appropriation and in the absence of the indicated increase. "3. Candid answer to your inquiry also compels me to question certainly the present possibility, and I believe, the possibility within the time limit of organization of the additional force re­ quired. Our* records show that It is with the greatest difficulty that our present organization is able to secure sufficient enlisthments to meet the minimum requirement of the war de­ partment for participation in federal fnnds." Correspondence on file with tfie ad- Jytant general shows Senator James? Hamilton Lewis has taken up in Wash­ ington the case of Major General Young and sought to have Assistant Secretary of War Henry Breckenridge hold in favOr of General Young's plea for the divisional organization in Illi­ nois.

Governor Dunna stated that he ex­ pected to name at least the Demo­ cratic members of the public utilities commission before the first of the year. The opinion has prevailed for some time that the commission must be named by January 1, the-time when the utilities law goes into effect, be­ cause the railroad and warehouse commission would go out of existence on that date. However, Chairman Berry of the commission, in looking over the provisions of the new stat­ ute, found that there is an express proviso that the old commission shall continue to transact business until the utilities commission has organ­ ized. El Paso, Tex., Dec. 18.--Americans, Germans and Spaniards, who arrived on Sunday from Chihuahua, Mexico- report that Franc|sco Villa, the rebel leader, virtually had constituted him­ self dictator there and that he refused to heed the requests of representa­ tives of foreign governments. Villa sent word on Sunday to the federal commander, who had retaken Torreon from the rebels, that if he marched on Chihuahua Luis Terraeaa, Jr., son of Gen. Luis Terrazas, the wealthiest Mexican would be executed. Telegrams sent to Washington on Sunday night asking that the Uni­ ted States protest against such execu­ tion. Villa first demanded $3,000,000 from the Terraxas family, but has changed the demand to one that Chi­ huahua be immune from attack. Gen­ eral Terrazas has appealed to the United States government to prevent the execution of his son. Foreigners who left Chihuahua and came here add that the rebel leader had seized $5,000,000 worth of property belonging to foreigners, had put to death about twenty Mexican civilians, including Sergeic Sanchez, a lawyer and former Btate official, and had com­ manded the American, German and British consul^ to obey his orders. Otto Kueck, the German consul, pro­ tested to Villa against the exaction of tribute from Germans. Villa threat­ ened Kueck, saying the latter would be escorted to the border if ha persisted In his protest. A store in which Kueck was interested was required to pay $30,000. AM homes and property of the ex­ pelled Spaniards ware appropriated to the personal use of the rebels. "Villa's attitude toward the consuls was hostile," Baid a German clothfng merchant. "The German colony went to Mr. Kueck for protection. Mjr. Kueck want to Villa with a protest. Villa said, 'I cannot shoot ypu, but I can escort you to the border.' Kueck replied he would remain in Chihuahua as long as a German citizen was there." > Washington, Dec. 16.---After four days of fierce fighting the Mexican federal garrison at the seaport of Tamplco, reinforced by the arrival of gunboats with troops*ammunition and dynamite, has driven the attacking constitutionalists out of range of their gunB. With the cessation of hostilities medical officers from the United Statea gunboat Tacoma and the scout cruiser Chester are ashore In the military hos­ pitals helping to care for more than 200 wounded. This information was contained in dispatches from Rear Admiral Fletch­ er to the navy department. ' On those battleships were 195 men, 166 women and 143 children. The army transports Sumner and Moro Castle arrived at Tamplco to take the refugees from that port, probably to Galveston. The Spanish ambassador here, Senor Riano, will not take up the question of the treatment of Span- lards at Chihuahua City with the state department until h6 is informed from Madrid of the action desired by his government. He may then be In­ structed to make some sort of repre­ sentations to this government Vera Cruz, Dec. 16.--The transfer of American refugees tq the battle­ ships during the Incessant fighting at Tamplco was attended with consider­ able difficulty. Rear Admiral Fletch­ er's temporary flagship, the Tacoma, was run alongside the customs dock. The scout cruiser Chester proceed­ ed one mile below. The admiral gave order* that all Americans should withdraw from the city. Many of the women wer6 seaside during the transfer to the battleships, and the bluejackets were busy caring for the invalids and babies. All that they saved was their hand baggage. Mexico City, Dec.' 16.--The rebels have failed in their attack on Tam­ plco and have withdrawn some dis­ tance from the city. According to the federal report 800 rebels were killed. Replying to a letter sent him by the correspondent of- the Frankfurter Zeitung.

They assert that spikes had been removed from the grails. The company has offered a re­ ward of $1,000 for the arrest of the person tampering with the rails.' Attached to train No. 16 was the private car of the newly elected presi­ dent of the New York Central system, Alfred H. Smith. Mr. Smith, after a visit to his aged mother in this city and a hurried western trip, was re­ turning east. The private car was not derailed. The fireman of tha locomotive was killed. President Smith, after a talk with the engineer, Joseph Lamb, issued this statement: "The engineer told me that when the train was about a mile from Wick­ llffe the engine suddenly leaped into the air, indicating plainly that an ob­ struction that could not readily be seen and yet would cause derailment had been on the track. The accident is mystifying In view of this and the added fact that it was a perfectly straight stretch where the wreck oc­ curred." Mr. Smith helped to operate a hand­ car four miles up the road to a tele­ graph office to summon aid. I: IMPORTANT NEWS J!

Florence, Italy, Dec. 15.--"Mona Lisa," Leonardo da Vinci's masterpiece, the mysterious disappearance of which from the Louvre in August, 1911, threw the art world into consternatioif, was found in Florence on Friday. The man who stole it was arrested. He is an Italian. The famous "Joconde" was found when the picture was offered by an Italian resident of Paris to an sbti- quary. Both the picture and the Italian aA now in custody of the police. ' "I stole the picture," said the man, "in order to avenge the thefts which Napoleon I. committed in Italy." When the Mona Lisa disappeared from the galleries of the Louvre vari­ ous stories were told of Its going. It is not a large painting. It is painted on wood, much retouched and the paint badly cracked, so that' little of Loenardo'B original brush work is in view, although everyone could sea the mysterious smile. Traces of thieves ?yere followed, and finally the "story decided upon waa that the Mona Lisa, being taken down and BuLj°cted to a cleaning process in secret chambers of the Louvre, had been washed away from the back­ ground and ruined beyond repair. The "Mona Lisa"--more properly known as "La Joconde"--Is one of the world's most famous paintings, and is regarded as priceless. The value of the work can only be Imagined, since all offers to buy it were refused, among them one report­ ed to have been made by the Britieh government of $5,000,000.
