4 CHILDREN DIE
ASF|RE SWEEPS
n. Y. APARTMENT
Three More Dying and Four Sc
verely Burned; Parents
Rescue Two Babies.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Trapped by
flames on the top floor Of a Bronx
apartment house, four children were
burned to death early today.
Three persons are dying in the Lin
coin Hospital and four others were
severely burned.
Flames Cut Off Children.
The dead children, ranging in age
from five to fourteen, were all of
the Corsine family, which occupied the
fourth floor of the building. Mr.. and
Mrs. Julio Corsine escaped, carving
two of their little children to safety
down the rear fire escape After they
had descended, flames cut off the rear
of the house and It was impossible to
rescue the remaining children.
Fire: Of unknown origin, broke out
In the building shortly after 3 a. M,
spread rapidly upwards, and mush-
roomed into the adjoining houses.
Dense clouds OF smoke poured up the
narrow stairways and the shrteks of
the escaping dodgers, mingled with the
roar of the flames, drove those on
the upper stoxies into a panic.
The fire was confined to the rear OF
the building at the beginning and this
drove those trapped upstairs to seek
escape at the front, where, according
to the police, they found no fire
escape.
Girl Fatally Burned.
On the third floor the Taylor fam.
fly, with five children, was cut off
by the flames. Firemen rescued four
as they were ready to jump from the
third floor. Mrs. Catherine Taylor and
her little son, Herbert. four years old,
and Rose Fitzpatrick, thirteen, were
cut off, and seriously burned and suf-
focated before they could be taken
out. They are at hospital, where
small hope is held for their recovery.
Three other Taylor children, War
rem, Charles and Andrew, all between
thirteen and fifteen years of age, were
burned or injured in escaping and e.
Andrew Taylor, father of the boys,
was badly hurt in getting his family
to safety.
Ten families lived in the building.

TENS Of Washington. Practically
everybody except traction stock
holders WANT merger, and merger,
we have found, is the only road to
lower fares. Why. ther, all this
controversy about the DETAILS Of
merger? VI
Capital Company ProposaL
Yesterday we analysed the merger
J'os,osal oS the Capital Tration Com
panys which. in a word. was this:
A combination that would give
Capital Traction stockholders more
dividends than Washington Railway
and Electric stockholders, and put the
control Of the consolidated system In
Capital Traction hands.
Washington Railway and Electric
turned that suggestion down. but. in
the same documents Of the Public
Utilities Commission in which we
found the Capital Traction proposal,
we find also a merger proposal from
Washington Railway and Electric.
Let's study II. In connection with the
Capital Traction plan.
Electric had something emphatic to
say about the Capital Traction offer.
Judging from their words. the w. r.
q e. officials who signed the docu-
ment were, to put II mildly. ruffled.
They were William F. Ham, president,
and Milton f. Allies, chairman of the
board Of directors.
"The properties OF the Capital Trac.
ton Company" say Messrs Ham and
Allies, ION the basis OF valuation used
by the Public Utilities Commission,
represent about 5000, 900, while
those OF the Washington Railway and
Electric and the Potomac Electric
Power companies aggregate approx.
mately $4,000, 900"
That's what they start with. Then
they go on more critically:
Under what view of propriety II Is
urged that a s16.00o.000 property
should control $50. 900, 900 it is difficult
to understand. Yet the proposal of
the Capital Traction Company re-
quires, in effect. that the Washington
Railway and Electric and the Potomac
Electric Power companies should turn
over the S40,000,000 in proeprty to
their uncontrolled discretion This
board would be recreant to It's trust II
II entertained a suggestion SO OBJ
viously one-sided."
Fact Left Out.
That does look like one-sided thing,
but there's one important fact which
the Washington Railway and Electric
officials failed to point out. 1t Is this:
The Capital fractions stock Of S12..
0O0, 900 stands for a much bigger equity
In the Capital Traction properties than
the Washington Railway and Electric's
stock Of SIS 900 900 stands for In IT'S
properties, because the Capital Trac.
ton has . very small bonded debt and
the Washington Railway and Electric
has a very big bonded debt.
This means that most of the &c.,

Irritating Questions Between
America and Japan Being
Cleared Up in Conversations.

The United States has been
given practically a free hand in
shaping the course Of the interna-
tional conference on disarmament
and Pacific questions which is
scheduled to meet here on Novem-
Der IL next, 1t developed today.
Nations Acquiescent.
Great Britain has indicated her will
lingEess to let America take the initia-
tive In matters pertaining to the meet
ing and program. Italy has followed
the American lead in every instance,
and France has interposed no objec-
tions to anything Washington has pro-
posed to date.
There remains only Japan to COM
plete the conference table personnel,
and in the conversations that are now
proceeding between Secretary of State
Hughes and Baron Shidehara. the
Japanese ambassador, officials are
hopeful that all the irritating ques-
tons at issue between the two 'coun-
tries can be cleared up before Novem-
ber IL.
Almost complete sicence is being
observed by officials here regarding
the progress of these conversations,
but both sides are hopeful of IA
vorable results. Unless uch ques-
'tions as Yap and Shantung and the
"open door" in China are cleared up
in the next three months 1t is GER
tain that the November conference
will have to settle them before an
approach can be made to the real
purpose of the meeting, which is
disarmament.
Yap Is Subject.
Conversations between Secretary
Hughes and Baron Shidehara to date
have been confined principally to
Yap. Current reports that both sides
have made concessions and that a
settlemnt Is near are met in official
quarters with the statement that
progress Is being made" which Is
susceptible to varied interpretations.
There Is reason to believe, how
ever, that Japan Is prepared to make
substantial concessions on Yap-if
she has not already done so-if by so
doing she can be assured Of nom
Interference in her Asiatic expansion
and Chinese policies. Yap means but
little to japan as compared with a
free hand in China.
The United States is adamant on
the policy of maintaining the "open
door" in China, the policy first laid
down by John Hay and subsequently
upheld by each succeeding American
administration.
China Question Dangerous.
II a split in the conference comes, 1t
Is freely predicted In diplomatic circles
that 1t will not be over zap. important
as that small communications center
may be, but over the Chinese question.
To avert that split strenuous efforts
are now being made and will continue
to be made for the next three months
to reach an agreement prior to the
meeting of the powers.
