Full Square of Chicago
Office Buildings Is
Destroyed by Early
Morning Blaze
Chicago, March 15. A spectac
ular early morning tire today de
stroyed a full square of business
buildings just outside Chicago's
"loop" district, with a losa esti
mated at from f 10, COO. 000 to
$15,000,600. The fire started in
the center of the block bounded
by Van Buren, Canal and Clinton
streets and West Jackson boule
vard, burned every structure in1
that area, leaped north across
Jackson and wrecked the 21-story
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
railroad's general office building
which also houses the Mercantile
Sayings bank and fanned by a
strong wind dipped over Van
Burne street southward and
burned nearly through another
bokk to Harrison street.
The flames were not brought
under control until nearly S
o'clock and even then firemen
were fighting a doien different
fires and others broke out inter
mittently as the wind wafted
sparks about.
One Fireman Killed.
One fireman was killed, another
seriously injured, ten or more
slightly hurt and an unknown
number of the hundred thousand
spectators who thronged the burn
ing district were slightly hurt by
falling bricks, burning timbers or
sparks.
The fire for a time threatened
to assume virtually unlimited pro
portions and every piece of fire
fighting apparatus within five
miles was called out in a series of
ten alarms.
"The rapidity with which the
fire spread was astounding," Mar
shal Buckley, assistant fire chief,
said. "The fire actually seemed to
ran from us."
That the original blaze from
which the conflagration grew
possibly was of incendiary origin
was the statement of Shirley High,
city fire attorney, who early to
day announced the arrest of an
named man on Information sup
plied by H. T. Schlff. president of
the Confectionary Specialty com
pany at 251 West Jackson boule
vard, where the tire started.
Suspect Arrested.
Mr. High refused to divulge the
name of the man arrested, but said
he was being questioned regard
ing threatening letters Mr. Schiff
said the man, a former employe,
had sent to him. Mr. Schiff told
Mr. High the man was discharged
when he became Incensed over re
fusal to permit him to purchase
stock In the company and within
the past two months bad made a
series of threats.
Mr. High summoned several of
aides while the fire was at its
height and said an investigation
would be begun Immediately. He
placed the total loss at from J 10,
00,000 to $15,000,000.
Traversing the main burned
area, the Metropolitan West Side
elevated line today was seriously
handicapped In diverting Its
thousands of patrons to the down
town district, as was the Aurora
and Elgin electric Interurban line,
which also used the four track
structure which was caught in the
midst of the fire.
Flames Are Checked.
The huge Burlington office
building, called a fire proof struc
ture, held the firs from spreading
westward. Progress of the
names to the south was arrested
by the faciltiles foremen were able
to muster by flocking to the tops
of the smaller outtdlng there-
two to six stories high and thus
increasing a range of their water
streams.
A vacant lot, the site of the pro
posed new union station, kept the
fire from spreading northward.
The Chicago river runs a block
east of the burned district, but
would have afforded but little
protection had the wind veered the
weep of the flames toward the
retail business section to the east
RENO HOTEL BUILDING IS
DESTROYED EABLY TODAY
Reno, Nev., Mar. 15. Scores of
guests escaped from upper win
dows in their night clothes when
the Riverside hotel, the largest
hotel here, was destroyed by fire
arly this morning.
At five o'clock the building was
till a furnace and the ruins
could not be searched, but a
check was started to learn If any
frueets were missing. No serious
Injuries were reported.
The fire, believed to have start
ed in the engine room, broke out
shortly after I o'clock. The flames
spread upward (juickly and the
quests, aroused by the smoke,
found the stairways cut off. Most
of them were rescued by firemen
with ladders.
The firemen prevented the
flames from spreading; to other
buildings, but could Dot save the
hotel.
Several thrilling rescues were
reported, among; them that of two
children from a biasing room.
The scantily clad guests were car
ed for in surrounding houses. A
mild night saved them from much
suffering front exposure.

Ten National
Menaces Seen
By Fair Voter
New York. Mar. 15 Ten mena
ces to America democracy have
been listed for the guidance of
women voters by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Catt, pioneer in the
feminist movement and founder
of the League of Women Voters
She Is engaged in a spirited
controversy with Governor Miller
who charges that an independent
woman's political group is a
menace to the state.
The real menaces to the state,
Mrs. Catt declares, are:
"1. The greatest menace is the
illiteracy of the electorate, be
cause an illiterate vote is a con
trolled vote.
"2. The second menace is !g
norance. Thfise who read their
ballots but do not understand
them vote somebody else's opin
ion instead of their own.
"3. Too partisan partisanship,
which is true of 75 per cent of
the membership of both parties.
"4. Indifference, which In a!
most worse than the controlled
vote, because it gives control to
the few. Voting wrong is better
than not voting at all.
"5. Government by groups. Be
cause of the Indifference of the
many a few are left to do all the
work, and this Is not democratic
"6. The use of patronage to
hold voters to the party standard
The Job Is the price paid for par
ty loyalty, and the League of Wo
men Voters will fight this prac
tlce by upbuilding the civil serv
ice.
"7. The use of money, the sad
dest of all menaces.
"S. Bosses.
"9. Slander and abue. This
Is the cheapest of the menaces
hut easy to use. because every
body like gossip and enjoys
spreading it. Bosses use It to
overcloud the real Issues.
"10. The most terrible cf afl
menaces is when politics entire
ly breaks down and then we have
war."
Army Pilot Says
Air Travel Safe
Lawton. Okla.. Mar. 15. Avia
tlon transportation is now as sate
as railway transportation. In fact,
there are few accidents in propor
tion to the mileage covered than
on the railroads, according to
Lieutenant Colonel Paul W.
Beck's annual report on flying.
Lieutenant Colonel Beck Is the
assistant commandant at Tost
Field and has had much experi
ence as a flyer. His report stated
that pilots In cross country flying
traveled 826.000 miles last year.
Planes flying around the field to
taled 846,000 miles. Together the
total mileage flown Is equal to
sixty seven times around the
world.
During 1921 eleven persons
were killed in airplane accidents.
This makes the average distance
flown to each man killed approxi
mately 151,000 miles..

Final plans have been complet
ed for the erection at Alexandria,
Va., across the Potomac from the
national capital, of a magnificent
MaiKmic memorial building. The
structure to be constructed at a
cost of nearly 2, 000,000, will hon
or the memory of George Wash
ington. The movement for the trec
:V,n of the memorial was inaugur
ated twelve years ago by the Washington-Alexandria
lodge No. 22, A.

Lead In Apple
Growing Short
Harrisburg, Pa., March 15.
The apple industry in the state of
Washington has reached its peak,
and the United States census of
1930 will place it below Penn
sylvania, New York and Virginia,
in the opinion of S. W. Fletcher,
jf the agricultural extension de
partment, Pennsylvania State col
lege. The western industry, he
ieclares, is more speculative than
that of this section, and to that
-ause he attributed Its fall in
.omparison with the more con
servative eastern states.
Citing the 1920 census report,
Mr. Fletcher explains that the
itate of Washington has advanced
to second place in the number of
trees and in 1921 to first place in
production. In 1910 the state, he
iaid, had 4, 62,702 trees of bear
ing age and in 1920 on 755,869.
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia
and West Virginia, he explained
have continued to plant in a con
aervative manner and from 9,369,-
4S6 young trees in 1910 they only
dropped to 7,961.913 in 1920.
The present rank In the number
of bearing trees, he said follows:
New York, 9,636,693; Washing
ton, 7.964,167; Virginia, 7.3S5,
277; Pennsylvania, 6,9S1,128. In
the number of trees not yet of
bearing age, the rank is: New
York, 2,932,281; Virginia, 2.S57,
007; Pennsylvania, 2.603.516.
Washington, he asserted. Is not
in the first 12 and in another de
cade either Virginia or Pennsyl
vania will wrest the leadership
from New York.

Jail Bid Came
Home To Roost
Point Pleasant, W". Va., Mar. 15
When a man breaks out of jail
it is usually with the intention of
staying away from it, but the rule
does not apply to Strother Colley,
of this county, who escaped from
the Mason county jail here two
month3 ago. He was sentenced to
a four months' term for sending
a threatening letter through the
mails.
The other Bight Sheriff John
F. Lewis was aroused from his bed
by the ringing of the jail door
bell. He responded and was sur
prised to find Colley standing
there. Colley said he had come
back to eat. He had wandered over
several states since leaving the
jail, had been unable to obtain em
pioyment and was also unable to
get "three squares' a day. Colley
had three months of his sentence
to serve, and he figured it was
easier to eat by staying in jail
than roaming the country.
