BY Special correspondent.
ROOSEVELT, August g. In a
flame of great brilliance and in
tense heat. and the origin of which
is unknown, Ukaranian Hall, on
Roosevelt avenue, was completely
destroyed by fire at $40 O'Clock
Sunday morning at an estimated
loss of $4,000. The building was
a frame structure and had been
used for dances and plays. 1t a
been in use up until about 2 A Nj.
by a Hungarian society. but they
had been gone some tine before the
flames were discovered.
The fire companies were summon
ed but the fire had gained such head
way. and the building burned with
such fury, that it was useless TO
attempt to save the hall itself.
Attention was turned to the houses
adjoining on each side and owned by
George Sulki and John Skibo. The
roof of one was burned away and
the other was Quilted by the jumping
flames. The heat was intense and
for a time it was thought that the
fire would spread beyond immediate
control. But the fire companies were
successful IN saving the houses from
complete destruction.

ASKS HARDING LEAD
IN DISARMAMENT
Daniels Says President-Elect
Should Call Conference I'm a..
less L. s. Joins League.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. C., Dec. 10.
The next President should call an In
ternational conference on disarmament
in the event that the United States does
not enter the Versailles League of Ma
tions or any other association or ma
tions, Secretary OF the Navy Daniels as
serted before the House ways and
Means Committee.
Authority for President to call such
q conference already exists. having been
enacted in the Naval act Of 1916. the
Secretary said. Mr.. Daniels declared
however, that the United States should
not stop building until an effective dis
armament agreement is reached.
eve should go on building while the
talking goes on said Mr.. Daniels.
In simplifying statements on naval
plans made before the committee Mon
day. Mr.. Daniels aid he did not be-
lieve in undertaking another three year
building programme in addition to the
1915 programme. now far from compile
ton. until the failure of all attempts to
frame a disarmament policy either
through an association of nations or a
worldwide International agreement
But If all attempts TO reach an agree
ment fail. then the United States must
build until IL is the foremost naval
power" he said. There is no other al
tentative. The League of Nations in
vlted President Wilson to appoint an
American representative to the commits
sion on disarmament This he could not
do because the United States had not
Joined the league.
This does not mean that the United
States is unfayorable to a plan of dis
armament through agreement, but the
agreement should be a common one Of
virtually all the nations and should be
permanent should be opposed. for In
stance, to any agreement that omitted
the nations of South America.
TN the 1915 naval act a provision was
inserted authorizing the President TO call
an international conference on disarma-
ment with nine American, representa-
tives. Because Of the war Il was OBJ
viously unable to do so up to now. n
probably would be unwise to call this
conference at present That I think
would be for the new President. in case
the new Administration decides not to
join the league or form new associa-
ton.
"It should be called at the very mo-
ment we decide not to enter any interna.
tional association. II we cannot reach
an agreement then we must go ahead
with another three year building pro-
gramme of eighty-eight vessels. as out
lined by the General Board.
Great Britain can well afford to talk
Of a naval holiday in construction at this
time. She has alliances which we do not
have and has n preponderance OF battle
ships and cruisers"

. not present a situation warranting the
maintenance of the war level of tax
burdens with a view of it's immediate
extinction.
I'm his report for 1920 the Secretary
of the Treasury estimates that UP to
June last we have paid 32 per cent. of
the net cost of the war, including for
eign loans. .out of current revenues, or
44.57 per cent. II we exclude the foreign
loans Estimated reductions of the war
debt up to June 80 next will raise these
percentages to at least 35 and 4S per
cent. respectively. This remarkable
showing of war burden bearing need not
be improved upon by continuation OF
tax levies Of war magnitude.
I'm due course we shall proceed to the
refunding of the Victory notes. which
mature May 90 1928. and at that time.
no doubt, we shall want to make gen.
eral survey of our total indebtedness
with a view of taking such action as
may seem wise and proper in the main
tenance Of the national credit. In the
meantime see no reason why we should
keep up war rates Of taxation for the
purpose Of reducing the public debt at
rate greatly in excess Of the sinking
fund rate applied to the entire debt"

FORD CASE BALLOTS
BOUGHT AS WASTE
Secretary Rescues 200 From
Junk Dealer-RecOunt
Is Asked.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--Preparatory
cast in the Michigan Senatorial election
contest OF 1918 between Truman II
Newberry. Republican. and Henry Ford
Democrat, the Senate Elections Com
mittee to-day heard testimony relative
to alleged accidental destruction of
1900 ballots cast in the election.
Election officials from two of the
townships gave their version of the man
ner in which the missing ballots were
destroyed, while attorneys for Ford,
whose contest of the seat now held by
Newberry is before the committee, traced
through witnesses the approximately
100 ballots cast in the city of Saginaw
from their sale as waste paper for $500
by a City Hall janitor to a junk dealer
from whom Fred r. Dolsen. assistant
secretary to Mr.. Ford, purchased them
for S155.81. The Saginaw ballots are
now in a warehouse of the Ford Motor
Company at Highland Park, a Detroit
suburb. Attorneys for Ford announced
they would ask the committee to open
the bales and recount the ballots.
TWO township election officials testi-
fled they were unable &c recall any court
OF der to preserve the ballots and ac-
cordingly had destroyed them as Gus
tomary.
Counsel for Senator Newberry and
others convicted with him on charges
Oh conspiring to violate Federal laws
IN the Senatorial election. filed briefs
IN the supreme Court contending that
the corrupt practices act deals with
amounts spent by the candidate himself
and not with amounts voluntarily con-
tributed
