FIRE AT WILSON
SATURDAY NIGHT

Wilson Okla. April 23--fire Of un-
known origin, late last night, destroyed
the two story structure owned by
Arthur Mckinley, on Fourth street,
between the tracks Of the Ringing
railroad and Main street. and also
burned to the ground a -onestory
frame garage adjacent on The south.
The fire broke out at about $3.50 y.
m, and threatened to destroy the
Marion Machine and Foundry Supply
Company two-story building adjoining
the garage but the firemen were able
to get the blaze under control in tine
to prevent what would have turned
out to be much more serious confla-
grafton. The Marion building is OF
galvanized iron construction.
Greater difficulties were encountered
by the fire fighters on the north side
Of the bhrning structure. a stroTg
wind hlowing from the south, swept
the flames 10 q one.story frame build
ing occupied as a furniture and hard
ware store. by w. l.. Jackson. and
destroyed the entire building and it's
contents.
Across the alley on the north the
flames crept to the garage and gaso-
line station owned by ID. A. Dnius.
but the firemen were on the alert and
extinguished the flames and were able
to save the Dinius property before the
flames got beyond control. At about
1880 p. m, the fire was under con.
troll.
The first floor Of the Mckinley build
ing, in which the fire originated, was
unoccupied. The second floor was used
hs rooming house. Up to late last night
no loss of life. had been reported, but
there is an unauthenticated report tn
roomer may have been asleep during
the fire, and been burned to death.
The loss on the furniture and hard
ware stock in the Jackson building Il
estimated at about $4,000, OF which
amount about S4,500 is reported covered
by insurance. The loss to the building
is estimated at about s2.400.
Loss to the Mckinley building is es-
timated at 300 1t is believed that
there was no insurance carried on any
e the buildings destroyed.
w. l.. Jackson, owner Of the furni-
ture store which was destroyed, is also
the chief OF the volunteer fire depart
ment Of Wilson.
Citizens Of the town are high in their
| praise of the fine work of Chief Jack
son and his men in checking the fire as
they did, especially with the strong
wind blowing.
Had the fire ignited the Dnius gar
age there is no doubt but that prac-
tically the entire business section OF
Wilson would have been wiped out by
the flames.

 TO HOLD II; SUBS SIDETRACKE[
Associated Press Night wire)

WASHINGTON. D. C., Oct. 10.- The Borah bill for tolls exemption of American coastwise vessels passing through the Panama canal was passed by the senate today, 47 p g.
 The measure now goes to the house where it is expected 1t will be sub ject to indefinite delay at least un- til after the conference on limitation Of ornaments.
 The senate rejected two substitutes offered by Senator King, democrat, of Utah, to authorize the president to negotiate for arbitration of the tolls question and to appropriate s. O00,000 as a subsidy for American vessels using the. canal.
 Debate on the Borah proposal dis closed split in party ranks, oppon- ents declaring the bill inopportune while Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho, declared he had talked with President Harding and Secretary Hughes and they did not share such views. Twelve democrats voted for the bill while Y republicans voted against it. Democrats who gave their support included Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona
