OPERA HOUSE AT
 SEYMOUR BURNED
Windsor Hotel Adjoining Damaged by Fire-LoSS Estimated
 at $15,0OO.

Seymour, Feb. 10.-The Seymour
 Opera House was burned to the
 ground and the Windsor Hotel ad-
 joining badly damaged by fire, smoke
 and water early today. The loss is
 estimated at about $15,000, partially
 covered by insurance.
 The hotel was a four story frame
 structure and was filled with guests
 but all so far as learned got out safe
 ly, although some of them lost some of their personal belongings. The fire started, it is believed in the basement of the Opera House. The Opera House has been used as a moving picture theater, well as for dances and social gatherings. The theater was operated by J. B. Phillips of New Haven, who estimated his loss at about s3,O00.
 The cause of the fire is not known. It is believed to have started in a small room formerly used as a jail. and it was said today that there had been some difficulty recently in keep- ing tramps from using it as a lodg- l ing house. Ono theory is that a tramp may have accidentally started the fire. ] The building was owned by Isadore Rosenberg.
 1 The roof of the hotel caught from 1 the blaze and the upper part of | that building was burned out. While | the firemen were able to save the ! other floors it was said that the dam age from the water and smoke to 1 the part of the building now stand 1 ing was such that it would have to
 be torn down and rebuilt entirely.

DANIELS ADVOCATES
 MERCHANT MARINE
Secretary Defends Administrations Naval Program In Speech Be-
 fore T.. s. C. of c.

1 Washington, Feb. 1o.-Secretary | Daniels of the navy, defended the ad- l lninistration naval increase program l and advocated immediate building up of an adequate merchant marine in a 1 speech here today before a session of 1 the Chamber of Commerce of the 1 United States, devoted to discussion 1 of national preparedness.
 We can no longer live unto our selves," said Mir. Daniels. "On our | farms we grow more than the repub- l lie can consume. We must feel much of the world. Wehave the right, also, to have a large share in clothing the world and supplying people in every cline with whatever is manufactured in our mills and factories. But how can we fill our larger mission? What aVa1ls teeming harvests and large pro- auction in factories without adequate and reasonable water transportation :?
 The securing of an adequate merchant marine is pressing problem and it is so tied up with the enlarging and
 strengthening of our navy that the two cannot be wisely separated.
 "The naval program offered by the administration is a constructive, pro- eressive one, and if built according to the continuous five year program the first continuing program ever pro- duced by an administration-it will give us by the year 1921 thirty -threc capital ships of the first line and twenty-five battleships of the second line, with ten armored cruisers, 1OS destroyers, 175 submarines and smaller craft in proportion"
 MT. Daniels declared himself to be q disciple of Benjamin Franklin on the question of preparedness. '"This philosopher-statesm declared that there never was a good war nor a bad peace,' but he did more to pre- pare for the impending revolution than any other man. he said.
 No man in the Revolutionary period could be preferred before him in preparations for defense. His achievements for preparedness may well be studied by the people of this day and generation

Especial to the Herald.) )

New York, Feb. 10,-The Iron Age says today:
 The heavy business in finished steel put on the books of the leading steel companies in the past two weeks has resulted in a situation unparal- leled in the history of the trade It now appears that the largest pro- Gucers are sold up for 1916 on heavier products, particularly shapes and plates, and that they have little left for the fourth quarter in lighter products.
 Considerable sales of plates and shapes have been made for the first quarter of 1917, more especially to sh1pyards, and on plates 2.10c., and in some cases 2.25c., Pittsburgh, has been paid on these contracts.

Negotiations With Mills.

The fact made known two weeks ago that leading Chicago producers had allotted the remainder of their expected output for the second half among their customers led to prompt negotiations with mills at Pittsburgh and elsewhere by manufacturing con- sumers of finished steel, and the re- suit has been a large volume of buy ing at stipulated prices besides con- siderable contracting for last half de- livery on the basis of what may be the market at that time.
 Shell steel was a factor in this late buylng-hoW large is not yet clear. French requirements in large rounds were covered to an extent estimated as high as 250,000 tons. One of these contracts, it is reported, was for uD- ward of 100000 tons on which the price was 2.S0c at mill

Anxiety More Apparent.

The anxiety of consumers in all lines to buy for third and fourth quarters has been more apparent, and some manufa cturers who buy rolled steel have been selling their product for the second half. con- Gitioned on their ability to get steel 1 and with the stipulation that prices will be determined by the price they pay for steel.
 An advance of s2 a ton on contract

 plates. However, on plates for de-
 livery in three or four months mills

 Railroad Needs.
 Railroad needs are coming out, in
 the rush of buyers in other lines to
 cover for the last half of the year.
 In the past week Steel Corporation
 r ills have sold 25.0O0 tons of rails,
 the largest single order being 1,5O0
 tons for the Minneapolis & St. Louis. About 5000 cars are pending, the Northwestern having just inquired for 5000 to 5000, in addition to 90 loco m otives. Locomotive buying is large, 120 having been closed in the past week, while there are inquiries for 275. Much of the present 'transporta- tiOn breakdowns is due to shortage of | motive power.
 The sIuggshness of the pig-iron market is more commented upon and
 in some districts the tone is less firm. There has been more offering of Southern resale iron at $14.50 and Tennessee iron is sold on S14.5O, Birmingham, basis for early delivery Important Buyers. On the other hand are signs that important buyers may soon take hold. In eastern Pennsylvania one steel interest bought 77,500 tons of basic for the last five months of the year at $19.50, delivered, whereas fur 1 naces have lately been holding for $2O.

MAY CARRY TRANSFER
fight TO CONGRESS
Citizens Federation Will Appeal to
Lawmakers as Last Resort.

The next movement in the fight for
universal transfers on the street cars
OF the District probably will be staged
in Congress. since the Federation of
Citizens Associations will appeal to
the lawmakers If they can not get
affirmative action on the petition filed
yesterday with the Public Utilities
Commission.
There is reason to believe that the
commission considers the transfer
question one of rates and accordingly
will not act upon it until the physical
valuations of the traction companies
have been definitely determined follow
ing the valuation hearings now in
progress.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said
last night that the petition of the Fed
Grafton. asking that an order directing
universal transfers be issued, had not
been officially considered by the COM
mission and that no decision had been
reached on the matter Of granting a
public hearing.
The Federation Is of the opinion that
the existing law covers the matter of
universal transfers and that the func-
tion Of the commission is to enforce It.

Shadow Lawn will not be the summer
White House again. according to those
close to the President, who resent the
tidy majority that the New Jersey
county rolled up for the Republican can
didate.
President Wilson'S neighbors in Mon

by the Democratic party because of the
prominence attracted to their bailiwick
through the head OF the nation making
It his vacation center. The county wants
him back again and. in fact, hopes to
have the Shadow Lawn property bought
by the government as a permanent sum-
mer home for the President. but the Will
son leaders say that no more prominence
will be brought to New Jersey.
Maine and Massachusetts, both want
the President to spend his annual rest
with them. and properties on the north

Harbor. Me, have been brought to the

thought theySwere friends. Accordingly.
he had no misgivings when the young

Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald.
New York, Nov. 15-The sisterhood Of

when Henry Lee Norris. superintendent
of buildings and grounds. declined to
yield or to arbitrate they walked out.
thirty strong. marshaled by their grand
chieftainesses and deputy grand chief
tainesses. leaving the university fiat.
More than 500 students roouing in
Hartley, Livingston and Furnald halls
were left with unmade and rumpled beds
and had to take a quick course in domes-
tic science before they could hustle to
recitation rooms to show the profs how
much or how little they knew about Latin
and Greek. But they went gayly because
the girls had their sympathy.
The cause of the strike was that the
chambermaids came to the conclusion
that they were ridiculously underpaid
for pretty hard work
They thought they were entitled to s25
a month. with Sundays off, or, at any
rate. that they should have SIS and try
TO make arrangements by which only a
few would have to report for duty on
Sundays. Superintendent Norris couldn't
see It at all and the result was the walk
out
