oped in flames, and in the space of few
moments every building in the square,
with the exception of the city hall build

For a time it looked as If the magnifi-
cent city hall structure. built of brlck
and separated from all other buildings by
a wide area, might be saved. The hope
was but mOmentary. however, for about
o'clock a tiny Pickering flame was seen
gaining Roadway under the coping of the
cupola Gathering force in the mighty
wind. the flame licked the cupola. expos

 At q meeting of the house Committee on Agriculture today MT. Hefiin called up his resolution asking the Secretary of Agriculture for figures on which he based his estimates on the cotton crop.
 The Chairman of the Committee re- quested Mir. Hefiin to hold up the res- olution until he could have a talk with the chief of. the bureau of stacistics in the debartment As the house com mittee will soon consider the bill deal- ing with the department Mir. Hefiin consented to walt. He told the Chair man, however, that he was certain the department had stated the crop to be one million bales higher than it real ly is. and on that estimate he believed the price of cotton had declined.
 Referee Scott is still here, and has been busy comforting with Department officials. He has been mixing general ly with republican politicians from Va rious states. no doubt with a view of finding out how the Taft boom is flourishing outside of the South, which the administration cro~d hopes and believe will be practically solid for the big secretary
