Hopewell, Va., Dec. 10.—The town of Hopewell, sweyt by fire yesterday and,'last night, was almost as bare to- day as the cornfield in which its first buildings were put up a year ago. Four hundred houses, most of them wood, hastily constructed to care for the influx of people brought here by activities at the Du Pont Explosives In the main part of the town of 25,000 persons hardly a bullding re- mained though the great explosives plant nearby and company villages at either end of the town escaped un- damaged. The loss is put at $1,000.000. Thousands Made Homeless, Thousands of homeless persons were housed during the night in Petersburg and Richmond. Many of. ‘those who saved their household goods stood guard over their effects & night.

Maxim Munitions Co. Purchases Fac- tory of Secor Co. New Haven, Dec. 10.—In manufac- turing cricles here today announce- ment was made of the sale of the Se- cor company’s plant in Derby to the Maxim Munition Co., through the Housatonic Water Power Co. The reported price paid is about $1265,000. In superior court Judge Webb re- ceived the report of Rollin 8. Wood- ruff, received in which it was stated when an oil stove toppled from a box in the kitchen. A hotel caught next, and soon the flames, driven by a stiff wind, were eating their way through banks, stores, hotels and awellings. The only church in the town was one of the first buildings to go. An eleven year old boy was the hero of the fire. Twice he rushed into a burning building and each time re- appeared with a baby in his arms. Explosive Plant Saved. The explosive plant, which day and night at top spee tfning out war munitions for the allies, ceased opera- tions only long enough to make sur none of its buildings would burn. Once when the fire got close all hands were turned out to pour water on the buildings, but a shift of the wind turned the flames in another direction and the plant started up again. There was little insurance, it was said, on the buildings, which were Jjammed together—wood and brick— in a space covering about sixty acres. The estimate of $1,000,000 loss is a conservative one, it was said. that certain property and assets of M. Seward Session Co., of New Haven had been sold to the Maxim Muni- tions Co., subject to court approval. GASOLINE EXPLODES. ‘Manchester Man Severely Burned and Touring Car Destroyed. Manchester, Dec. 10.—Thomas Smith was severely burned about the face and head, and a large touring car, owned by W. A. Alvord, was de- stroyed here today, as the resulf of an explosion of gasoline while Smith was pouring the fluid into the tank of the car through chamois. The loss on | the car is about $1,000. It is stated that no fire was near the gasoline and the accident, it is thought, illustrates a theory recently advanced by a noted scientist, that the running of gasoline through chamois would produce friction sufficient to cause an explosion, SITUATION IMPROVED. Carranza Officials Exerting Every Ef- ford to Restore Order in Mayo County. Topolobampo, Mex., Dec. 10, (By Radio to San Diego, Calif.)—Marked | improvement in the situation in the Los Mochis district is reported and an- nouncement was made today that tele- graphic communication between Topo- lobampo, Los Mochis, and the United States would be restored immediately and that rail communication would be re-established within a few days.

MAY BREAK OFF TIES WITH AUSTRIA Unless Urgent Demands of American Note for Disavowal of Sinking of Ancona Are Granted. ‘Washington, Dec. 10.—Diplomatic relations with Austria-Hungary are in danger of being broken off by the United States unless the urgent de- mands of the American note to Vien- na for disavowal of the sinking of the Ancona and reparation are com- plied with. Furthermore, it was stated today upon high authority, 'the United States expects a prompt reply to its’| communication. Austria’s delay in furnishing answers to the questions submitted to Baron Burian, ministér of foreign affairs, by American am- bassador Penfleld, a few days after the Ancona went down, has not served to ease the situation. ‘The foreign office, however, did inform Ambassador Penfield that it desired more time to answer the in- quiry; but American officials are unable to clearly understand why it is impossible for the Austro-Hun- garian government to secure the 1a- formation desired. It Thas pointed out that if- the commander of the submarine which sank the Ancona had taken his vessel out on another cruise he should have re- turned to his base long before this time. It had originally been planned not to send a note on the subject of the Ancona to Austria-Hungary before a reply to the inquiry submitted was received. Austria now has no am- bassador here, as none was sent in the place of Dr. Dumba, recalled at the request of President Wilson; but the embassy, nevertheless, is being conducted under the directions of a | charge.

Lynch, proprietor of the Russwin Lyceum, announced today that the theater would re-open for stock on Christmas day. Alfred Cross the most popular leading man the Lyceum Players ever had, will be back to resume his former position and playing opposite him will be Miss Julia Hearn, daughter of James A. Hearn, of “Shore Acres” fame. News of the re-opening of the thea- ter will be received with pleasure by New Britain’s amusement seeking public. A stock company at the Ly- ceum has always been a popular drawing card and Mr. Lynch antici- pates that this season will eclipse all others as the Lyceum Players have been greatly missed The return of Mr Cross in the leading male roles is also pleasing information as his work | on the stage was of a high character. It was not without difficulty that Miss Hearn was persuaded to accept the offer to become leading woman with the company. She is a high | priced actress of unusual talents and her services are in demand. Mr. Lynch was forced to compete with several other managers who were seeking her and he considered it a big victory to be able to secure her name on a contract. 4 Another victory scored by the man- agement was in signing Kendall Wes- ton for stage director. Mr. Weston has thereputation of being a top motcher in his line and Mr. Lynch was highly pleased to engage him for the season. Other members of the com- pany will be announced later. A novel motion picture has been booked by Mr. Lynch for December 18 and 19 when Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Castle, whose dancing is the last word in the terpsichorean art, will be shown. TWO GRAIN ELEVATORS DESTROYED BY FIRE 500,000 Bushels of Wheat Burned at Erie, Pa.—Loss the Pennsylvania Railroad company here were destroved by fi early today with their contents, about | ownea by five hundred thousand bushels of wheat. The loss is estimated at $750,000. A third elevator holdinz 325,000 ‘bushels of wheat was saved after a hard fight by firemen. The wheat came from Canada and await- ed shipment to Great Britain and her allies. The fire whigh started o’clock this morning, was virtually under control four hours later. It had its origin in the shaft of the main elevator and was driven by a strong northwest wind into the grain bins below. The firemen were handi- capped by a maze of railroad tracks on which were many freight cars. The elevators stood on the shore of Erie Bay. Several steamers atl the piers were saved by being towed into the bay. An investigation of the origin of | the fire will be requested. No other | cause than spontaneous combustion has yet been assigned. at two DENY ALIAED REPORTS. Germans Refute Statements that | Cruisers and Submarines Were Sunk. Amsterdam, via London, Deec, 10, 6:06 a. m.—A German official state- ment received here from Berlin de- clares unfounded reports appearing in newspapers in the entente coun- tries of the sinking of the armored cruiser Derfflinger, the small cruiser Frauenlob, a 3,000 ton cruiser, off "' ‘Windau, and two submarines in the Straits of Gibraltar.

Erie, Pa., Dec. 10—Two of ~ the' three Anchor Line grain elevators, SEN, SMITH TAKES SHOT AT ENGLAND Galls Upon Congress to Insist Great Britain Cease Interfering WITH NEUTRAL COMMERGE the Declares Protests by American State Department Has Been Met by Increased Lawlessness and Tramp- ling Upon Neutral Rights, Washington, Dec. 10.—Senator { Hoke Smith of Georgia, in an address gress to insist that Great Britain cease interfering with neutral com- merce. He declared that protests by the American state department had been met by increased lawlessness and trampling upon neutral rights, “The United States, with other rations, should demand from Great Britain,” said the senator, “That dis- regard of their rights cease. It may be necessary for the United States and other neutrals to let Great Britain understand that ‘No word or act’ will be omitted to enforce their rights.” Profiting Greatly. British merchants and shippers are profiting greatly, he asserted, by ex- porting the very character of goods seized when shipped from the United States to neutral European ports. “The blockade of neutral ports is a deliberate disregard of neutral rights by . Great Britain,” Senator Smith continued. “There can be no pretense that it is sustained by the customs of nations. Indeed, there is no such pretense. It is a bold, reck- less disregard of that freedom of the seas which is the right of neutrals by the customs of nations and the rules of international law. Permitted to Continue. “Yet for eight months this disre- gard of the sovereign rights of all neutral countries has been permitted to continue, to the serious injury of | the commerce of their citizens.” (uoted from the decision of the United States supreme court in the Bermuda end Springbok cases, and said: “In these cases the right of seizure was based, not on the blockade of a reutral port, but on the fact that shippers had arranged a continuous | vovage for the goods by sea into a | biockaded port.” Maintain Real Neutrality. Remarking that the relations be- tween the United States and Great Rritain had been growing closer for a_hundred years, the senator added: “But we are not a dependency Great Britain.” Germany, too, he | said, always had been a friend of the TUnited States and many American citizens love that country only second to their own. “The United States, therefore, owes it to her citizens and to her friends to maintain a real neutrality,” said Senator Smith. “Neutrals must main- tain their neutral rights to maintain neutrality. Great Britain may desire to crush an enemy through the sup- presson of trade, but she has no right to do it at our loss or to make us the instrument of it.” DELANEY’S NAME GOES TO SENATE | Now Serving Under Recess Appoint- ment and Is Recommended Today By President Woodrow Wilson. (Special to the Herald.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 10.—Wil- liam F. Delaney was recommended for postmaster at New Britain, Conn., today by President Wilson.

Tylerville, Conn., Dec. 10.—Three persons were burned to death here early today when their home, located near the Tylerville Camp Ground was destroyed by fire. The charred bodies were found in the ruins sev- eral hours later. The victims were Joseph Ball and s wife and their son, Jacob. 1all and his wife were each about years old and the son 18.

The body of Ball was found near the door, while that of his wifc was some distance away. The son’s body was found in the cellar, where it had fallen when the floor gave way.

It is believed that the fire started jfrom a wood fire which had been | left in the stove over night.
