The} last grand conclave set aside $100,-!\ 000 in bonds for this wo: and made} an appropriation of $400,000 u yean| he said. “We say it is a revolving fund,”; said Mr. Newby, “because from the! experience of subordinate Masonic, orders in many states in aiding ane and girls to gair pn education, we are sure that 95 pereént of, it will) be paid buck after the boys and) girls have completed their education! and are able to earn their own liv-} ing.” The boys and girls will be selcct- ed through local committees, and no} security will be taken—the loan will be a debt of honcr, he said. Widely Traveled Mr. Newby, who is an attorney by; profession, has been active in pub-| lic affairs for many years, and has| traveled in practically every foreign | country and all over the United! States. He was in the diplomatic; service under President Roosevelt} and has been preminent in Indiana politics, but now, has retired from | active participation, ‘he said.

Fear was expressed by some that the fire might spread and envelop houses of several fai lies living in that section. A Bismarck man, / noticing the flames, sent men to help get cat- tle grazing in the bottoms, away from the possible advance of the flames, and the sheriff's office was notified and asked to serd a man there. ‘The fire had already burned a large patch’ of timber, and the flames and smoke shot high in the air. The fire, presumably, was started by the carelessness of some individual, throwing away a lighted cigar or leaving a camp fire burning. There are heavy penalties for starting such fires. T0.G0 AFTER MRS. PHILLIPS Authorities in California Con. fer on Guards Los Angeles, Calif. April 30.— Plans for bringing Mrs. Clara Phillips, hammey murderess, back from Hondurag to serve the ten | years to. life sentence imposed on her for slaying Mrs. Alberta Tre- | maine Meadows, were to be con- sidered at the conference today be- tween the sheriff and deputy at- | torney’s office. The state board of control has appointed Eugene W. Fitzhailis and Mrs. Fitzhailis as the officers to make the trip but Los Angeles officials believe a larger patty is ‘desirable and may ask the county ‘board of supervisors to provide funds for two more deputies. It is no longer planned to extra- dite Jesse C. Carson, wanted here for arson and pdelieved to be one of the companions of the woman held as the escaped murderess ‘by the Hondurian authorities. } Fitzhailis will question Carson at Tegucigalca in the hope of obtain- ing information as to the persons responsible for Mrs. Phillips’ es- cape.
