Treasury Secretary Says the
Financial Tension Is Be-
ing Relieved
| PENDING MEASURE
PROMISES AID
Decries Propaganda of Pes
simism" Which Has
Been Spread

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 3.--Secretary
A1cAdoo's first report to Congress, de-
liyered to-day, is largely confined to a
review of the achievements of the treas
ury department in matters that have
been Of nationwide interest; to recon-
mendations for increased appropriations
for bureaus under his authority and
for legislation which he declares neces-
sary to the better conduct OF the govern
ment and the protection of the people.
The secretary discussed at some
length the subject of currency legisla-
tion reviewing the activities in his de-
partment related to it, He speaks of
an unrest in business circles following
the beginning of the special session of
Congress in April, refers to "propa-
ganda OF pessimism which, designedly or
not, produced condition of extreme
nervousness and tension" and points to
his announcement in June that the treas
ury was ready to issue s500000,000 of
emergency currency under the Aldrich-
Nreeland act to prevent restriction of
credits and to east any situation.
Mr.. McAdoo details the treasury's Of
fer to loan to the banks of the country
money to move the fall crops. The sum
of SAG. 10000 out of the S50,00,000 esti-
mated to be needed, was apportioned
among the states.
1T was essential" says the secretary,
that the action of the department
should be a non partisan and non.politi-
cal; the crops OF Republicans, Democrats
and Progressives, and all other classes of
people had to be moved, and the earnest
effort of the department was to have the
benefits of this action diffused as widely
and impartially as possible"
After praising the psychological value
of these incidents, the report continues:
They demonstrate clearly that any
improvement in our financial system
which will permanently establish CON
tidence will in itself be an immense
gain and if that improved financial sys-
tenn assured the opportunity TO secure
at all times the necessary funds and
credits TO meet the expanding and legiti-
mate needs of the commerce and indus
try of the country, il will be an achieve
ment of enduring benefits.
These incidents also show conclusive
ly the enormous value OF an altruistic
agency in the financial af-
fairs of the country. So long as the gov
ernment has the power to intervene in a
beneficient and unselfish way, the danger
of panics and of unjust practices will be
largely, ii not wholly, destroyed. This is
one of the chief objects sought in the
reformation and reorganization
OF our banking and currency system.
The people of the country are TO be. con-
graduated upon the early prospects of
sound legislation on this yitally import
ant subject. Should the Congress enact
the fundamentals of the pending measure
it is believed that permanent protection
will be provided against recurring com
merciai crises and that adequate facili-
ties win be created for that legitimate
and sound expansion OF credits so vital
to the prosperity of our great and grow
ing country"

TALK OF THE TOWN

local exchange of the Vermont Telephone
and Telegraph company Offices. left
last night for Greenfield, Mass, where

tion on trip through the quarries.

thorough inspection of quarries on both
sides of Milestone hill With Mrs. Sam
els, the dealer is staying at the City
hotel.
Chief Sinclair Of the police department
received a wire from st. Louis. Mo. saw
ing that Clarence T.. Bell was not want
ed there by the police The message,
scant as to detail, was signed william
Young" chief of police, and its tenor
conveyed the impression that Bell was
being detained in this vicinity for the
st. Louis authorities. No one of that
name had been held by police in Wash
ington county and the officers are at
loss to account for the motive for the
message. States Attorney J Ward Car
yer was interviewed last night by Chief
Durkee of Montpelier, who received
telegram in substance identical with the
one addressed to the Barre chief. An
earnest inquiry in which the police of
both cities and the county sheriff's de-
partment have Joined fails to throw any
light on the whereabouts of c. +. b. in
this vicinity or reason for the message
from st. Louis.

When Fire Started, There
Were 17S Men Asleep in

They Became Shrieking,

Aroused by Night Clerk

III.
were killed in fire which swept the
upper floors OF the Arcadia hotel, cheap
lodging house in the South End, early
this morning Others are missing and
scores more were taken to hospitals
suffering from burns and injuries re-
ceived when they jumped from windows
of the burning building.
Nearly all the bodies were terribly
burned and mutilated, making identiiiea-
ton almost impossible. The victims
were all men of poor circumstances who
had resorted to the place for nights
lodging. Many of the men were negroes
who were caught in crowded hunks and
in small rooms on the fourth and fifth
floors of the structure. When they were
aroused from their slumbers they were
helpless, the stairways in front being in
flames. Finding the front stairways
burning, the men, practically all OF them
naked. made rush for the stairways in
the rear.
Many of the men were rescued by the
police and the firemen, while Others es-
capped by walking shaky plank which
was stretched across to an adjoining
building, or by jumping across the five
foot alley to the neighboring roofs. The
property loss is estimated to have been
about $4,000.
Fire Discovered By Newsboy.
The Arcadia was located at the cor
ner of Washington and Laconia streets.
The lower floor of the building was oc-
cupied by stores. The fire started from
a cause thus far unknown, in the hall
way of the second floor, the flames
sweeping up the wooden stairways and
bursting through the roof in an incred-
IDLY short time.
The fire was discovered by aSpassing
newsboy, who notified the night clerk,
William Walsh. The latter ran through
the halls shouting to arouse the inmates.
According to Walsh, there were ITS lodg
ers in the building when the fire was
discovered.
When the firemen arrived the flames
were shooting 20 feet in the air from
the windows on the fourth and fifth
floors, and the fire-escapes and roofs held
mass of shrieking, struggling human
ity. Three men jumped from the roof,
and two of them were killed. The third
man wrapped mattress about himself
and escaped with few bruises. Many
others were saved by use of fire nets.
The hospitals report that many who es-
capped are destitute of clothing and their
meagre belongings were destroyed in the
fire.
After the first search of the ruins, il
was thought that the number of dead
would be 25, but subsequent search
revealed two more bodies, bringing the
total to 81 Only one of the dead has
been identified. He is George F. Adams,
aged IL, of South Boston.
The injured are at the City hospital,
most of whom either lived in Boston or
had no home. One of the injured men
said he was Charles Smith of Fitchburg.
Another claimed Providence for home,
and another claimed Chicago.

Mexican Federals Are Flee

HUERTA REGIME
BROKEN IN NORTH
Washington Considers 1t as
Evidence of Crumbling
of Dictatorship

Juarez, Mexico, Dec. 3.-Conident
that the seven federal generals who evac-
uated chihuahua City with troops in
tend to seek refuge in the United States
beyond danger of capture by the rebels,
General Francisco Villa, the constitutions
alist leader, to-day sent more troops in
an attempt to intercept them.
The fugitives are led by General Sal
vadore Mercado, whose desertion of Chi
huahua and whose statements that he
has no money to pay the troops are re-
garded as a virtual breakdown of the
Huerta dictatorship in the north, Head
ed for 0jinaga on the border with the
general are his subordinate officers and
1000 federal soldiers and more than
j 900 of the wealthier class of the city,

Washington, ID. G., Dec. 3.-The flight
of Huerta's general in northern Mexico,
the evacuation of Chihuahua and Quay
mas and the refusal Of the Mexico oil
companies to furnish fuel Tor the fed
eral troops trains are pointed out by
officials to-day as the events to which
President Wilson referred in his mes
sage yesterday, when he said that the
Huerta regime is crmbling little each
day.
automatically there were no develop
ments to-day. The presidents state.
ment that the government would not,
in his opinion, be obliged to alter its
policy of watchful waiting is regarded
as forecasting a period of passive OBJ
servation by the government.
