ATLANTIC CITY N. j., Feb. A.
Six persons are known to have per-
fshed and nearly a score were injured
early today in spectacular fire which

| Guests who were rescued and wit
aessed the IRE while clad in scanty
garments, were unable to venture any
opinion as to the identity Of man
who burned to death in window on
the fourth floor of the hotel.
Edward Erringer, a police sergeant
said fremen and scores of helpers
tried yainly to reach the doomed man.
1T was just before the wall went
down on the upper side Of the hotel
that we saw him first stagger to the
window and throw up his arms" said
Erringer. IT guess thousand people
yelled to him to jump. know found
myself shrieking at the top of my
voice. Girls in the Bell telephone CEN
trail office just across Mount Vernon
avenue, were crying. saw the man
throw up his arms and pray God to
save him.
"But he Just stood there, outlined
against the flames back Of him. He
looked just like cross upon a curtain.
Fully five minutes passed and then
the flames caught his clothing. He
screamed. l saw that fire make its
way all over him. Then he crumpled
on the window sill and few minutes
later slid out Of sight"

TWO WOMEN WERE BURNED TO DEATH
Origin of Blaze is Unknown-Police Were on

Got Its Start.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Feb. 4.-The
$5,000.000 Canadian parliament build
ings are in ruins.
Fire which broke out last night in
the commons reading rooms, swept
down corridors and leaped to the gal
leries and in the space Of three min
utes had filled the whole wing with
an impenetrable volume of smoke. 1t
was followed quickly by flames
throughout the building.
Six persons are known to be dead.
Two of them are Madame Bray, wife
of DR.. Bray of Quebec, and Madame
NORM, wife Of DR.. Louis NORM of
Quebec. They were guests of Madame
Sevigny, wife of the speaker. and
We're cut off in their apartments.
Madame Sevigny escaped by leaping
Burrell, minister of agriculture, was
severaly burned about the face and
hands when escaping from his Office,
which adjoins the commons reading
room.
Four men. r. Tanning, Alph Desjar-
dins, A. Desjardins and a fourth man
as yet unidentified were buried when
a section of the eastern wall collapsed
early today. Efforts were made to
rescue them, but the flerceness Of the
fire rendered this impossible.
At 2:45 this morning the fire was
under control and the tlremen believe
they will be able to prevent it spread
ing to the east or west blocks. Search
for the bodies of the four men caught
by falling wall was prevented by
the heat of the debris. The library
will likely be saved. but the senate
of the building was burning at an
early hour.
The origin of the fire is mystery
1t may never be known. There was
suspicious last night Of incendiarism,
possibly German agent, but officials
declare that as policemen were on
guard at both doors Of the room

Controversy With Germany
Over the Lusitania, is Not
Near Settlement.

United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Deep pes
s'mism prevailed in official circles
over the latest communication from
Berlin on the Lusitania question. 1t
IS understood today that Secretary
Lansing has received a report from
ambassador Gerard at Berlin and has
forwarded this to President Wilson.
This report is said to cover what
Gerard has been able to learn Of Ber-
Inns official attitude on the matter.
The next two days may hold the
late of German-American relations.
Coincident with the return this after
noon of President Wilson. the new
/ memorandum from Germany. was ex-
pected by Ambassador Bernstorff. He
SAID he hoped to be able to lay Ger
many's message before the state de-
partment late today or certainly by
tomorrow morning. It will be given
AZ once to President Wilson.
1t is learned on high authority that
state officials view the situation with
anything but optimism.

with the recent instructions he is re-

Thinks Preparedness Program
Will be Adopted by
Congress Soon.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
ON BOARD THE PRESIDENTS s
SPECIAL. Feb. 4.-That President
Wilson's preparedness program will
be adopted by congress before the
end of March was freely predicted by
those close to the president today.
Whether this opinion was based on
the enthusiasm with which the pres
dent was met on his central western
tour, or whether il was expressed in
the light of international deve' n
ments, it could not be learned IT WIS
indicated last night, however, that tho
president had re ?eived from Secre
tary Lansing some important letters
and code messages on the LuSlLA MA
negotiations and so.le annouaGalnent
on the issue is expected shortly after
the president reaches Washington
President Wilson on his trip
through the central west, made no
reference to this country's policy to-
ward Mexico. This was regarded as
significant when it was learned today
that the president feels that the Mexi-
can policy will be the easiest matter
for him to discuss if he is assaiied on
that question in the next campaign.
The president, il is understood,
feels that the people throughout the
country, are rapidly realizing that the
course pursued by the administration
toward Mexico was the proper course,
built upon ideals which are being
realized
And it is safe to say that the presi-
dent Will not discuss the Mexican
situation on the next trip if he deter
mines to take one.

tration Of Russian troops In north
western Russia in the past few weeks,

MED, however, that the concentration
was due to any belief that Sweden
was planning to invade through Fin

The Swedish press gives proml-
nence to reports of Russian troop
movements, but generally expresses
doubt that the SIavs are mobilizine

journey back to Washington. He will
reach the capital early this afternoon,
after a trip, the results of which he
says have far exceeded my most op-
timistic expectations"
It is the belief of the official party
aboard the train that on his Swing
around the circle" the president
spoke to over one hundred thousand
people at different stops and that
fully a million more flocked along the
streets to catch glimpse Of him.
In reviewing the weeks trip, it Is
seen that in his speeches the presi-
dent covered a vast amount of mat
ter. He spoke in behalf Of his CONT
mental army plan at al points, but it
was not until at Topeka, Kans.. that
the audiences recorded great enthus-
iasm over that feature Of his program.
At Kansas City the enthusiasm was
much greater and reached its climax
in St Louis where the pan was
cheered to the echo.
The president consistently paid
tribute to the efficiency Of the navy,
asking, however. that it be materially
increased so as to be able TO protect
the vast coast lines Of the country.
At St. Louis he said that the country
should have incomparably the great
est navy in the world" but this was
interpreted today to mean that the
president meant by greatest not
the most ships. but the highest in eff
cheney.
He went on record as determined
to keep his administration absolutely
neutral in the matter of handling
with the belligerent
countries.
At Milwaukee he disposed of the
"hyphen danger" stating that it was
passed.
He strongly indicated that dangers
to this country are not from any one
