On Army Transport
Blaze Causing 100000 Dam
age on De kalb Burns
Wreckage

Fire which early yesterday burned
away the entire interior fixtures of
the army transport De Kalb, once the
German liner Prinz Eitel Friedrich, did
damage estimated at 100000 by Cap
tain Gingard, Of the United States
Shipping Board. but it saved the gov
ernment the expense of much labor.
The fire began amidships, and
burned out the lower decks. cabins
and entire equipment. The Shipping
Board had planned to remove these be-
fore placing the boat in the South
American service under the flag of the
United States merchant marine. Con-
sequently lot of wrecking will not
now have to be done, and. according to
representatives of the Shipping Board,
there will be no delay in putting the
De Kalb into commission as passen-
ger carrier in July.
A preliminary inspection indicates,
Captain Gingard said, that the fire
originated in The old telephone room
amidshlps. The section of the ship
where the blaze started was completely
burned out, and no official statement
was made as to the cause. There was
no evidence of incendiarism, Shipping
Board officials said.

Hylan 'tSmelzs a Mouse''
In Sc. so MIX Bill for Cat
Being Board of Education Animal, His Honor
Directs Hirshfeld to Get Busy and Find Out
Who's Its Keeper and if 1t Lives on 'sGrade A.

Mayor Hylan yesterday directed his
chief sleuth. David Hirshfeld. Com
missioner of Accounts, to ferret out
possible steal in the maintenance of a
cat in the Department of Education,
for whose keep during the months Of
July, August and September voucher
for $3.50 has just been presented. The
jump in the tax budget Of $25,0O0,O00
for 1920 startled the Mayor and his ad-
visers, and he has let it be known that
no predatory cat is going to put any
thing over" on him. His letter to Com
missioner Hirshfeld follows:
II would like to find out what duties
this cat performs for the people that
would justify the city in paying it's
board during the vacation period. What
is the salary of the person who looks
after the welfare of the cat, and to
whom does the cat belong? Is this cat
provided for in the 1920 budget?"
When the attention of Aiming S.
Prall, President of the Board of Educa-
ton, was called to the Mayors letter,
he said:
81 have been advised that voucher
was presented for the Mayors sigma
ture this morning for the maintenance
Of cat by the Department of Educa-
