Building Owned ~ w. D.
Bradford on S. s ain ST..
Partially DfJroyed
FIRE STARTF5 BY
SPARKS FRCr4 ENGINE
Property of Mrs. T. Parker
Adjoining Ablaze Also,
but Little Damage Done

Fire. believed to have been started by
sparks from a passing engine, this
morning gutted the loft Of the storage
house and garage belonging to W. A.
Bradford at the end of the South
Main street bridge The damage is esti-
mated at approximately $500, covered
by insurance.
The fire was started when sparks
blew from passing engine, to the dry
roof and were there famed into flames
by vigorous breeze The fire was
not noticed until it had gained consid-
erable headway, and then a neighbor,
seeing the smoke roll out, telephoned
the fire department
The fire started on the eastern side Of
the building and had spread completely
over the roof by the time the appa-
ratus arrived. A strong wind, blowing
from the south, threatened to carry the
blaze to the adjoining house of Mrs.
Parker, before steps could be taken
to prevent it. and sparks at various in
tervals did manage to gain hold and
spring into blaze Strict watch kept
by the fire department discovered every
threatened portion, however, and only
in one place did the flames gain enough
headway TO do apprecisble damage
The quick response of the fire depart
ment prevented the fire spreading to
the lower part of the building, where
there was a Garford truck stored. The
only damage done in that portion Of
the building was by the water, and this
was extremely slight. The entire up
per story was destroyed, however, and
only the charred boards clinging to the
rafters remained. Two sleighs were
stored in the loft.
The fire started about 10 o'clock a.
m. and was completely under control
Is minutes after the engine arrived.
The damage was estimated to be be-
tween $500 and 81 900, but il is be-
lieved that the insurance covers the
loss. The rear roof on the Parker
house at 10 South Main street suffered
in only one place, where the fire gained
considerable headway before it was
noticed.
1t was only about two months ago
that the roof of the Bradford garage
caught fire in a similar manner, but it
was extinguished then with very slight
damage.

Gov. Clements Office in
Montpelier Has Re-
ceived No Word
OF HIS INTENTION
TO CONVENE SESSION
Clement Was in Conference
With Senator Harding
Last Night

AT the State House in Montpelier
there had come no definite information
to day OF Gov Clements intention to
call special session of the Vermont
legislature to act on the woman suf-
rage amendment, as was intimated in
a Washington dispatch he would do.
The executive office professed itself TO
be without information regarding the
matter Gov Clement will. probably re-
turn to Montpelier soon from Wash
ington.
The Washington dispatch telling of
Gov Clements conference with Sena-
tor Harding, the Republican nominee
for president, is as follows:
Washington, ID. c., July 2.-tiov-
ernor Clement of Vermont, after con
ference here last night with Senator
Harding, the Republican presidential
nominee, indicated that he would i'm
mediately call the Vermont legislature
in special session to act on the federal
suffrage amendment.
"The Vermont governor. while not
stating definitely his course in the suf-
frage matter, was quoted in state
ment from Senator Harding's office as
saying that he frankly confessed there
was a preponderance Of Republican ad-
vice in favor of a special session called
TO consider ratification.
Governor Clement in his statement
after the conference said
Il have been calling on Senator
Harding. and we discussed the state of
the union agreesbly, you can be sure,
and we discussed suffrage ratification
by Vermont. Our state Republican con
yention asked me TO call the extra ses-
sion. Chairman Hays has urged il on
behalf Of the national convention. Nat
urally | wanted Senator Harding $
views, and he suggested an early call.
NV reluctance is due TO feeling that
Vermont prefers TO change the funds
mental laws very deliberately. We can
only change our state constitution by
one direct appeal to the people and the
favorable action of two legislatures.
We are reluctant, therefore. to ratify
by a legislature which was elected at
a time when suffrage was not an
issue
Senator Harding had the following
TO say regarding the conference:
+" Ii gave me an opportunity TO say
To Governor Clement that was deep.
~ interested in the final disposition of
the question of ratification and / told
the governor frankly that il my advice
were wanted, ] would be glad TO see
Vermont Republicans close up the great
franchise reform.
"The women throughout the nation

.ca mpaign and the ratification must be
closed soon II they are universally to
participate in the federal election. /

SUN PREVENTED OUTBREAK.
By Keeping the Spanish People in Good
Spirits While Waiting for Bread. --

Madrid, July 2-The sun prevent.
ed what threatened to be serious out
break in Madrid during the recent bak-
ers' strike. The first two days of the
bread scarcity were dull and threaten
ing and the hungry poor were so af-
fected by the lowering skies and the
lack of food that they paraded the
streets in groups uttering shouts and
menacing storekeepers who kept their
establishments open.
On the third day the sun shone and
although still hungry and COMPEL to
wait indefinite hours for the loaves to
be doled out, the people did so patient
ly and even cheerfully.
All kinds of laws and police regula-
tions were broken by the men, women
and children forming the almost end
less bread lines, but the authorities
took lenient view of what occurred,
When an old man brought camp
bedstead, set it up on the sidewalk
and stretched himself on it, police
man arrested him and led him to the
station house with his bed The po-
lice captain first looked grave. then
began to laugh when the offender ex-
planned he knew he might have to wait
anything from II TO "a hours for his
bread and had merely provided against
fatigue He was released and returned
to his place in the line with his bed
amid the applause of the crowd.
Another group hired barrel or
gan whose owner played popular melo-
dies while the people waiting with
growing appetites and hollow stom-
aehs danced merrily. On the Gale de
la Msgdalena cobbler arrived carry
ing stool. his tools and pair of
shoes. which he was able to sole and
heel before his turn came to obtain a
loaf.
Similar scenes we're enacted day aft
er day amid general hilarity until the
municipal authorities decided TO break
up the big bread lines by distributing
loaves from larger number of cen
ters. The danger was then over.

DEMOCRATS TO OPPOSE
EMERGENCY MEASURE
(By United Nress)

Washington, Dec. 20. (By l.. 4.
Martin .)-Senate democrats will OPP
pose efforts to jam thru an emergency
measure on the tariff bill drawn up
by the house ways and means COM
mittee which placed an embargo on
ready commodities.
The decision to refuse assent to the
senate's action was reported TO-DAY
by the democratic steering commit
tee of the senate.
The emergency tariff bill is still In
the house, having been reported by
he ways and means committee as
measure that would cut off importa-
, ton of farm products in the hope OF
stopping price declines.
Senator Simmons Of North Caro-
ina, ranking democrat of the fiance
committee, obtained an approval OF
he steering committee that the bill
no considered regularly by the COM
