Fomes Sweep Huge Show
Tents; 2500 Persons are
Placed in Danger

-Saved Out of Huge Elab
orate Exposition
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 5 (AP)
Damage estimated at $2,000,
000 or more was done by a fire
which swept the automobile show
here this afternoon destroying
more than 300 automobiles, be
sides a number of airplanes,
trucks and motor boats! The show
wan housed in four large tents..
A crowd estimated at 2500 per
sons was in the tents when the
fire broke out. The band stood by
its post and continued playing, as
attendants urged the crowd not to
become alarmed and to avoid
jamming. The tents were emptied
in an orderly manner and but two
persons were injured? Fireman J.
A. Adol was overcome by smoke
and Claud McFaul received severe
burns. t
Sparks Believed, i
CtkuPti of ConfUMrratioa
Witnesses said that sparks from
either an electric wire or an air
plane engine set f-'re to the wing
of a monoplane and the tent above
was soon burning. Fanned by the
wind, the flames roared, great
clouds of smoke billowed skyward
- and the explosion of automobile
tires came in sharp staccato. Thou
sands of persons were attracted, to
the scene and all available police
were hurriedly summoned. All
fire equipment of the central dis
trict was brought into play out
the wind spread the flamed so rap
Idly that nothing was saved.
Mst of the automobile loss
was covered by Insurance but the
airplanes." were not so protected.
Edgar Johns, aviation Instructor
with the Mexican army brought
two experimental planes of his
own make to the show. He had
not insured them and lost all he
possessed except his automobile,
which was outside.
L Among the burned exhibits
were two of Harry Miller's raeia
ears, valued at $20,000 each; a
Pon tlae demonstrator i cut-away
chassis of like value, and a Lock
heed Vega monoplane equipped
with a whirlwind motor, also rai
ned at $20,000. A Kreutser tri
motored plane, valued at $16,000,
also was among the airplane ex
hibits. A special 12 cylinder mo
tor boat, because of its all-wood
construction, was a quick victim
of the flames.
The most expensive motor car
destroyed was a Lincoln Brougb-
an, valued at $7805. A Mercedes,
from Europe, valued at $13,750,
the highest of any machine in the
show, was the only car saved from
the flames.
The losses of individual motor
car dealers and distributors
ranged from $30,000 to $100,000.
T
Important among the legisla
tive bills signed by Gov. Patter
son Tuesday was one, Introduced
by the livestock committee which
provides that state traffic officers
may be used in running down
livestock; thieves. This bill bad
the indorsement of virtually all
livestock organizations in the
state and particularly was de
sired by the livestock raisers of
central and eastern Oregon.
Legislators who spoke in favor
of the bill pointed out that live
stock thefts have been numerous
during the past ' two years, and
that in some sections of the state
the producers had suffered, heavy
financial losses.

HOOVER'S DAY
CROWDED WITH
New President Pleased a
Senate's Action in Rati
fying Cabinet
Many Delegations Call at Of
fice; Total, of 2,44
Hands Shaken
By JAMES I WEST
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Mar. 5. (AP)
This first day in the presidency
was a mighty busy one for Her
bert Hoover, and. from all appear
ances, a mighty nappy one.
His day's activities, extended
all the way from a decision of ma
Jor policy, that of non-interference
with the present regulations re
garding the shipments of arms
into Mexico, to reminiscenses of
his boyhood days In West Branch
Iowa, with his one time school
teacher, Mrs. Mollie Carran, who
was his luncheon guest at the
White House.
Between times he touched shoul
ders with the plain folk who call
ed upon him by the hundreds; re
ceived members of the republican
national committee in a group;
chatted with the governors of sev
era! states who were here for the
inauguration, and transacted
large amount of public business.
Action By Senate
Pleases President
Prompt favorable action by the
senate on his cabinet nominations
added to the pleasure of his day,
during which he not only appear
ed unruffled by the many Inter
ruptions of his work, but smiled
broadly during his several public
appearances . lo pose for p I c-
tures with some of his callers.
Meeting the newspaper corres
pondents at noon in his first press
conference as president, he made
jocular i comments as the nearly
200 news writers streamed into

UCT1 SUIT'S
r irn
l Hii
The executive committee of . the
Oregon state grange is behind the
Injunction suit brought by W. A.
Jones to prevent payment of ftve
dollars per day "expense" money
to legislators.
This -was disclosed Tuesday
night by Mr. Jones, .and set at
rest a vast number of rumors that
have been in circulation ever
since Saturday afternoon when the
legislature was stirred by service
of papers on the state' treasurer
and secretary.
"The grange itself has had no
meeting recently and could not
possibly have taken action as an
organization to authorize . this
suit," Jones asserted. "The execu
tive committee is not behind it as
an official grange organization,
but Its individual members, as pri
vate taxpayers, are supporting . it
Members of the committee live In
various sections of the state.
' "We expect, of course, to carry
this suit to the' state supreme
court, or even higher if the legis
lators want to keep on with It.
Our whole Idea Is simply to deter
mine whether the resolution by
which they voted themselves an
extra five dollars per day is con
stitutional. If it is. then they are
welcome to the money so far as
we are concerned and it will be
left with their constituents to sec
whether their action Is approved."
.Meanwhile a considerable
amount of adverse criticism has
been leveled at the legislators for
their expressed resentment against
the suit. If the "expense" appro
priation is legal, it Is pointed out,
they will get every cent of the
money they voted themselves. If it
is not legal, they as the state's
lawmakers should bo the first to
approve of the law's beiag en
forced. - '
