WORCESTER FIRES
CAUSE DAMAGE OF
NEARLY 100000
(By Associated Press,

WORCHESTER, Mass, Jan. 10
This city was spotted by fires today
with a loss that ran upwards of $1,000
coo. Two business buildings on Main
street heavily stocked with merchan-
disc. were burned out a few blocks
south of city hall, a score of tenement
structures were overrun by sparks that
caused roof blaZes, and guests at the
Bancroft and New Park hotels, situ-
ated between the business and the
tenement district, prepared to follow
the tenement dwellers into the zero
temperature of the streets.
While this epidemic of flames en-
gagged all the city's apparatus. another
fiery spot developed several blocks
northeast of city hall at North Foster
and Union streets.
Spread Quickly.
The fire started in the seven story
Knowles building in the heart of the
city and this was quickly laid waste.
The fire then spread across Main
street to a group of three story build
fngs.
In short time other fires were re-
ported from all quarters of the city
and reports of incendiarism were rife.
A general alarm was sounded bring
ing out all the fire apparatus in the
city and also aid from Boston and
nearby towns.
No Loss of Life.
AS far as known there was no loss
of life, but there was one sensational
rescue. Leslie G. Kingborn, manager
of an automobile agency, was rescued
from a window ledge on the seventh
floor of the Knowles building A 75
foot extension ladder was put up and
he was taken down by firemen.
One of the fires was in a group of
three story wooden structures in the
lumber district and threatened three
large lumber yards. This blaze began
in the rear of one of the structures,
and in the adjoining building firemen
found a flaming suitcase in the front
doorway.

Richmond Man Retires March 4
as Secretary to 7. f. Marshall

States is nothing but a figure head
and has no work to do except preside
over the senate, which belief Mr.. Mar
shall has encouraged by frequent
amusing remarks concerning his Of
ficial duties, the fact remains that
there is almost as much business per-
formed in the Office of the vice presi-
dent as in the offices of any of the
senators. Mr.. Thistlethwaite has rem
dered invaluable service to the vice
president. Before entering public life
Mr.. ThiStlethwaite was one of the
best known newspaper men in Indian
apolis.
Knox to Head Cabinet.
Despite the fact that it has been
generally reported that Charles Evans
Hughes, former supreme court justice
is to head the Harding cabinet as sec
retary of state there are many shrewd
political observers in Washington who
believe that when Mr.. Harding makes
public his cabinet slate it will be found
that Senator Knox of Pennsylvania
heads the list as premier.
Senator Knox. it is pointed out, has
always been closely associated with
Mr.. Harding. Those who profess to
be familiar with Mr.. Harding's atti-
tude toward the league of nations de-
clare that he is really as much of an
''irreconcilable" as the Pennsylvania
statesman.
Hughes Is Silent.
1t is pointed out that Mr.. Hughes
has made no comment on reports that

Moore Declares Ice
Will Go by Thursday

Ice covering the city today is caus-
ing much trouble to pedestrians. The
fall began this morning in the form
of sleet and gradually turning into
rain.
1t was very hard for the people
to move about and those who ventur-
ed out move with the utmost precau-
ton.
No serious injuries have been re-
ported as yet, although many people
are known to have fallen on the icy
streets.
1t is almost impossible for the
horses to get over the street unless
rough shod. and the blacksmiths of
the city were kept busy Many auto
mobiles have ventured on the streets
without antiskid chains, and find great
difficulty getting over the slippery
streets. Weatherman Moore says the
ice will be off the streets by Thursday

HARDING WILL LEAVE
FOR SOUTH THURSDAY;
| VACATES MARION HOME
(By Associated Press)

MARION, O., Jan. 19.-For the first
time in weeks, President-elect Hard
ing's engagement calendar was blank
today, and he turned his attention en-
tlrely to personal affairs in prepara-
tion for his departure tomorrow night
for a six weeks stay in Florida.
1t will really be a leave-taking for
a period of at least four years, for if
he returns to Marion at all before
inauguration it will be only for a day
or so. His residence here has been
rented and it will be vacated at the
end of the week, when Mrs. Harding
goes east to shop and attend to per-
soral business in Washington and
New York. She will join her husband
later at ST. Augustine, which will be
his headquarters during February.
Question Stars Disposal
One question in regard to Mr.. Hard
ing's personal plans which remains
unanswered is whether he will con-
tinue to be proprietor of his news
paper. the Marion Star, during his oc-
cupancy of the white house. 1t Is
known that the subject has been one
of serious consideration with him and
that. although he expects to have no
opportunity to participate in the pa
per's management during the next
four years, he is reluctant to sever
connections with an institution to
which he has given the greater part
of his life.
Mr.. Harding will leave for st. Au-
gustine late tomorrow night after at
tending celebration here of the Elks'
fraternity. of which he is, member.
He PROBABLY will travel to Columbus
on special train, but during the re-
mainder of the trip south his private
car will be attached to regular trains.
