ONE DIES, z INJURED,
IN TORONTO FIRE
Wrecking of American Club
Home Accompanied by
Several Explosions.

TORONTO. February 16.-One man
was killed and two others were injured
in fire which early today wrecked
the six-story structure which was the
home of the American Club. Several
explosions were heard while the fire
was burning, but according to latest
information received by the police
there were no detonations before the
flames, of unknown origin. were dis
covered. Early reports. as yet uncon-
firmed, are that the blaze was the re-
suit of an alien military plot, the
American Club having recently been
the scene of demonstrations in favor of
the entente allies.

Capt. Asa Minard, 9th Battalion Of the
American Legion, was slightly burned
The interior Of the building was
destroyed and the roof fell in The
walls are intact The property loss
was placed at $4,000.
The building, an imposing structure,
with brown stone front, was valued at
$500, 900 Immediately after the explo-
sions the roof of the building fell in and
flames burst from the windows on all
six floors.
Man Picked Up in Debris.
Just after the explosions were heard
a man was picked up in the debris in
the street. His skull was fractured
and he was thought to be fatally hurt.
None of the club members could
identify him and it was difficult to de-
termine whether he was in the build
ing at the time of the explosions or
passing the building on the sidewalk.
The injured man was identified later
as the clubs caretaker. It was report
ed that three members of his family
had been unable to escape from the
building. At dawn the ruins were still
burning and the firemen were unable
to ascertain whether they contained
any bodies
The club building was formerly &C.
cupied by the Union Bank. It stood
at Nos. II and 10 Wellington street
west. The building was taken over and
remodeled when the American Club
was organized four years ago.

To Stand for Three Years.

One section of the amendment Of
fered by Senator Underwood provides
that after an election has been held on
the subject of prohibition under this
act no new election may be held for
period of three years.
The section of the amendment max
ing provision for the punishment of
any person guilty of fraud in connec-
ton with the election is as follows:
That any manager, clerk, returning
officer, or registrar. or any voter or
other person, who is guilty of miscon-
duct. fraud, or corruption in the per
Torrance of any duty required of him
under the provisions of this act, or
in the exercise of his right to vote, or
in connection with the lawful holding
of said election, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall
be fined not more than $1,000 or shall
be imprisoned in the District Jail or
workhouse for a period of not more
than one year, or both. in the dis
erection of the court"

Suffrage Issue Injected. :

When the Underwood amendment for
referendum comes before the Senate
for discussion the woman suffrage
question will come up. 1t was predicted
today, without fail. His amendment
makes the following provision for quail
ification Of voters:
That all male resident citizens of the
District of Columbia who are over the
age of twenty-one years. of sound
mind. and have not been convicted of
an offense involving moral turpitude.
and who have been residents of the
District of Columbia and the voting
precinct in which they reside for more
than one year prior to the date of the
holding of said election, shall consti-
tute the qualified voters at said cleo
ton. The managers of the said election
shall be the sole Judges of the quail
fications of the voters"
Under this provision the women are
distinctly not to vote. Woman suf-
frage has many supporters in the Sen
ate and 1t Is considered likely that IL
any referendum is permitted women
will be included among those allowed
to vote.

Underwood Amendment Ready
for Consideration When the
Sheppard Bill Comes Up.
SUFFRAGE ISSUE LIKELY
TO FIGURE IN CONTEST
Provision for Election Confines
Privilege of Voting to :
Male Residents.

The amendment to the Sheppard pro-
hibition bill. offered as a substitute for
the bill yesterday by Senator Under
wood of Alabama. providing for a ref
erendum of the prohibition question to
the residents of the District, was or
dered to lie on the table so that it
might be offered by Senator Under
wood at any time the Sheppard bill was
up for consideration.
There have been frequent reports that
opponents of the Sheppard bill in the
Senate would seek to have the bill re
committed for hearings. since no hear
fngs were given by the committee. The
Underwood substitute brings new
problem into the situation regarding pro-
hihition in the District. and one that has
not been formally considered before
referendum Of the matter 20 the citizens
of the District. If a motion to recommit
carried the Underwood amendment will
go to the committee with the original
measure.
Sentiment for Referendum.
r There is considerable strength in the
Senate in favor of a referendum of the
matter to the people of the District.
since the people of the states from
which they hail have been accorded the
privilege of saying whether the states
or cities-should go dry.
On the other hand. the claim that
Washington is the capital of the Unit
ed states, that Congress must make all
the laws for the capital and that there
IS no more reason for a referendum of
the liquor question to the residents of
the District than there is for a refer
endum on any other subject of local in
terest-all of which have been left to
Congress to settle without any refer
endum to the peoples made by the
Senator Sheppard has given notice
that he intends to move to take up his
bill when the Shields water power bill
is out of the way in the Senate, and
that bill Is now the unfinished business
of the Senate.
