80 AUTOS Burned
IN 100000 BLAZE
Fireman Scalded Others Over
come In Fighting Garage Fire
at $40 E. Somerset St.
EXPLOSIONS HAMPER WORK

Fifty automobiles were destroyed and
total loss of 800, ,00L sustained when
the garage Of Richard Hill, at $40 East
Somerset street, was burned at 2:2O
O'Clock this morning. ,
The fire was discovered by John
Goldman, a watchman on the Reading
Railway. He placed several torpedoes
on the track. A shifting engine ran
over these, exploding them, and the re-
trolman Smith, who turned In the
alarm.
The fire was a fierce one, and for an
hour the fremen had their hands full,
but they managed to get 1t under con :
troll. One fireman was injured. He was
Frank Lodo. engineer Of Engine Com
pany %, who was severely scalded by
steam from his engine. Four other
firemen were overcome by smoke, but
later revived.
II is not known just how the fire
started. Thomas McGuigan, the night
man, was in the garage at the time. He
noticed smoke In the rear and when on
his way to investigate was driven back
by a cloud of smoke and flame. He ran
to the street and gave an alarm. BY
the time the first engine company ar
rived the entire rear Of the garage was
mass of flames.
A second alarm was at once turned
in. BY this time the fire had reached
some of the portable gasoline tanks, and
these exploded one after another, send
ing showers Of blazing gasoline all over
the place. People residing in the
neighborhood took fright and began
moving their furniture and valuables
from the houses.
Firemen and volunteers forced their
way through the smoke and tried tc
move out some of the motorcars stored
In the place. A few were rolled out, but
the fire gained headway so rapidly 1,
was impossible to save more than five
or six. The rest blazed furiously as thu
gasoline and oil in their tanks ignited.
By this time the roof collapsed anc
several firemen narrowly escaped beinl
plunged into the burning building. Tht
shower of sparks and the flames en-
dangered nearby properties, and the fire.
men devoted most of their efforts tt
preventing spread of the blaze. Tht
fire was still burning at o'clock thi:
morning.
Hill, proprietor Of the garage, wal
unable this morning to tell how the fir,
started. The loss was equally difficult
to estimate, he said, until the plac,
could be entered and the number o.

URGES CENTRALIZED BUYING
OF COAL BY U. S. RAILROADS
Expert Tells Senate Committee
Great Economics Could BE Achieved

Washington, June 24.-(By A. L. y
Railroads could effect economies In
coal buying methods, Edwin Ludlow,
president Of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers,
said today before the Senate committee
investigating the raslroad question. He
recommended a plan worked out by the
National Association of Owners of
Railroad Securities for group organiza- :
ton of the railroads and centralized
coal buying. 1t would result, he said,
in q uniform grade of coal for all car
.riers; avoidance of cross hauls, stabil-
ization of the coal industry and release
of the railroad contract mines during
the winter months to the supplying OF
fuel for domestic consumption.
If thc railroads would buy and trans
port their coal in the summer months
ANA store 1t. Mr.. Ludlow estimated an
annual saving of $50, 900, 900 could be
made.
Mr.. Ludlow cited various university
professors and economists as authority
for his figures.
"n eli, we took the advice of an econ
olnist on sugar and it cost the American
public $3.50. 900, ,000," remarked Scna
tor pomerene, Democrat, Ohio.

STATE AID TO ROAD-MAKING
Payments VIII Be Made Out Of the
Halfway Loan

Harrisburg, June 24.-(By A. P.)--.
State Treasurer Snyder today announced
payments for State aid road construc-
ton would be made out OF the proceeds
of the State highway loan. Originally
it was intended to pay only main high
way construction out of the loan pro-
cecds but under an act of the recent
legislature other construction can be
cared for from bond sales.
The State Treasurer Office said the
law relative to the State fire insurance
fund was being looked up as a result of
the letter sent yesterday to the Treas
urer by Auditor General Lewis to the
effect that 1928 900 now held in that
fund should be transferred to the gen
eral fund.

Disputes Finding Of Blood Expert on
ChIld's Parentage

San Francisco, June 24.-(By a. P.
Superior Court Judge Thomas +.
Graham today was weighing the de-
ductions of science and nrt against
the declaration of a mother in deter.
mining the paternity of seven year :old
Eugene Sorine, to decide whether julius
Sorine or Mrs. Mamie Dclsecco. who
were husband and wife when the child
was born, should have custody Of the
child.
DR.. Arthur Abrams reported to the
Court that test of the blood from
Sorine. the lad, and his mother, showed
the boy was Sorine's child, which was
denied by Mrs. Delsecco.
Her mother knowledge bellies his
findings" declared the woman's attor-
neys, who had expected the test to sup
port her statements. Haig Pntigan.
San Francisco sculptor, was called to
make observations of the cranial char
acteristics of Sorine and the boy, and
his report, accompanied by sketches,
showed, he said, peculiarities common
to both.

"Morale Committee" on Michigan
Formed With His Approval

Raleigh. n. c., June 24.-CBy A.
PA Morale Committee" on every
ship in the navy would not weaken dis
cipline In the service, but undergrad
it," Josephus Daniels, former Secretary
of the Navy, declared today when his
attention was called to the action OF
Secretary DENLY in relieving Captain d.
Stearns from command of the battle
ship Michigan for permitting members
of his crew to discuss disciplinary mat
ters with him. Captain Stearns' crea-
ton of a Morale Committee of en-
listed men for this purpose was done
with the approval of the former Sec
retary. Adhering to his approval of the
policy as Secretary, Mr.. Daniels said
"A Morale Committee, consisting OF
officers and enlisted men. would not de-
prive the captain of the ship of the
power of discipline, but would secure
the best and most satisfactory disci-
pline. 1t would encourage a better un-
derstanding and closer co operation be-
tween officers and men
