OLD STATE HOUSE
 DAMAGED BY FIRE
BoSton's Historical Building
 Threatened Relics Saved

Boston, April 14.-Oficials of city and state today sought to learn the circumstances under which the Old State House, one of the country's most historic buildings, was threatened last night with destruction by fire. The flames caused considerable damage to the 173-year-old structure, but relics that were invaluabl such as Benjam- in Franklin's first printing press, maps. manuscripts and John Han cocks knee brooches and small coat, were saved
 Investigators were at a loss to ac- countsfor the appearance of fire in the building during the night when no one was supposed to be within.
 Destruction of the building, which was threatened at one stage of the fire, would have removed the scene of many momentous and stirring pre- Revolutionary events; the place where the Colonial legislature sat; where Gage. the last of the royal governors was proclaimed; where witchcraft trials were held and Captain Kidd was examined; the place from which the Boston massacre was witnessed; with in which Captain Preston, commander of the troops responsible, was tried and acquitted. and the hall in which John Adams said:
 '"The child Independence was born"
 Secretary Charles F. Read of the Bostonian society which has had charge of the building as museum for many years, said after a hurried examination of the damage today that none of the relics on the first and sec- ond floors apparently had been seri-' ously hurt, although everything twas pretty we'll wet down.
 The attic contained a collection of pictures of old Boston which he thought might have sustained the greatest damage. The flames were largely confined to this part of the building, running up through the walls and to the cupola. t

LAME CHILDREN'S
 HOME HEARING
S6OO,0OO Asked of Appropriations Committee Local People Present
Especial to The Herald


 Hartford. Conn.,, April 14.-The hearing before the appropriations committee of the legislature this after noon for a grant of $6O0,0O0 for the Crippled Children's Home in Newing- ing was largely attended by welfare workers throughout the state Among the people from New Britain to ap- pear for the bill were: E. Allen Moore, Howard Platt, George Klett, and Representatives Richard Covert and Arthur N. Rutherford. Comptroller Bissel, Mrs. J. Buck, superintendent of the home. Dr. Paul Swet. Lawyer |. Wise. Representative Thomas Russell, Representative Richard Erwin of Newington, and Senator John Trum- bull, the introducer of the bill calling for the $6oO,000 appropriation were also present.
 Candidates at House
 It was brought out during the counse of the hearing that conditions at the home warrented immediate action. The building has been con- denaed by the fire commission, and the fact that should there be a fire it would be more dangerous than in other homes because of the children being cripp1es was featured by those appearing for financial aid.
 state saving Money
 It was pointed out that the state was really saving money by allowing this home to remain a semiprivate af- fair and not having it a state institu- ton. If the state owned the home, the gratis services of many of the best doctors of the country located in Hartford, would be wiped out. There are many individual donations which tend to take the burden off the state finances, and these donations also al- low public minded citizens to do good work and have a personal interest in a charitable organization.
 Warned Against Waiting
 The crying need for an appropria- tion immediately, is that there are many children who need an operation now before their bones become hard ened. In this way the child may be saved and go out into the world with a fair chance of making a living. If the operations are put off too long, they will be impossible to perform.
