STUBBORN FIRE IS
FINALLY MASTE RED
Considerable Loss 70 Stocks of
Fruit in Cellar of Market House
at Third and King Streets.

A fire of small extent but involving
considerable loss WAS discovered shortly
before midnight and was not mastered
until nearly one o'clock this morning after
score OF streams had been directed into
the cellar Of the market house at Third
and Hing street, by the eight FIRE COM
panies which responded to a first and
second alarm
The CELLAR Of the marke, house is used
for the storage Of fruit and is divided bv
brick partitions, The fire was discovered
in the space occupied by John NJ Floren-
tIno, on the King street side, by PATROL
man Charles Morrow The door was
forced IN, but the volume Of smoke drove
back the hremen, who had to cut through
the flooring overhead to reach fire with
their streams
In addition to the Fiorentino stock
those OF Eugene Vasello, Samuel Cavello
and Samuel Cutona were also damaged
The owners Of stalls in front Of the
building were warned recently by Fire
Chief Hyndrnan against blocking up the
entrances and passageways but the con
dltIons found by the firemen warrant the
conclusion that little heed was paid to
the warning
Considerable apprehension was felt
for large stock Of toys and Christmas
goods belonging TO the c. A. Lippincott
Company, which was known TO be stored
on the second floor Of the building, but
as the fire was confined to the baseme Mt
this was not injured, fortunately for Santa

committee will be named to meet with
like committee from any other Senate
group-at least until near the time
when it becomes necessary to gct to-
gnther on some formal basis
The pressure OF business To get a
peace settlement is insistent The Borah
group. committed to the effort To de-
feat Of any sort OF League Of Nations,
adheres to the position that il is only
''big business" that wants the League,
hut the other fellows know that busi-
ness in this connection means not only
the International bankers, but every
manufacturer, merchant and the great
groups of employees who are dependent
on the normal resumption Of commerce.
Until we have peace and stabiliza-
tion of international relations the Alb
normal exchange rates will continue
and the worlds markets will be prac-
ticaIly closed to us for the simple rea-
son that the. depreciation Of pounds,
francs, lircs and marks makes it Inn
possible for Europe To bty any more
from us than the minimum required
for existence, and minimmns do not
spell prosperity to seller nations.
Ultimately it is coming out all right.
The treaty will be ratified with more
than the Democrats want
to see, and fewer reservations than
the Republicans want to grant Neither
side will be particularly happy at the com
promise, but the country will I've ahead on
the deal. Meanwhile, however, the chief
indoor sport of the Senate is To read
such meanings as they desire into every
utterance that is made on the subject.

BIBLE STUDENTS GIVE
TO NEAR EAST FUND
Contributions to Date Total More
Than One Thousand
Dollars.

Several hundred doll ars were added to
the amount already subscribed TO the
Temporary Near East fund Yesterday,
through the contributions ofSunday school
pupils. The action of some classes who in
stead of giving their teacher present this
Christmas but resolved to send the money
TO aid the starving people of Armenia,
was adopted by scores of other students
at Bible schools yesterday.
Several Of the classes telephoned to Mrs.
Eugene A. Ellis, acting executive secre-
tary for the Delaware committee that
they had decided to he lp the Near East
Christmas fund and will turn their money
over to her at headquarters IN the Church
building today.
Response to the appeal sent To several
hundred citizens by mail has been gen
erous Up to Saturday night there had
been more than 81 900 subscribed and with
yesterdays canvass among the Sunday
schools, IT is expected that the total today
viii be upwards Of $500 additional
The contributions are being given IN
varied ways. Some are cash, others
agree 10 pay so much each week, while
others are pledging monthly payments.
The fact that thousands Of children
are dying in Armenia for lack Of
food. while there Is full and plenty
in this city The fund has appealed to
hundreds OF mothers here who realize
what terrible plight il would be if their
offspring had TO suffer As the little Armenian
boys and girls are Just now. II IS because
there ls great lack of food IN Armenia
now and that hundreds of thousands
would die from hunger unless supplied
with \ few weeks that led 10 this emergency
appeal st this fuletide season.

real motion picture troupe, and on
ly once before had a cameraman ev-

when President Wilson visited some
relatives there for a few days, the
event subsequently finding it's way in
to one of the motion picture news

schools of the village were closed for
an entire day and excursions we're run

in order that the inhabitants might
see just how motion pictures are
