An investigation was begun today
by Treasury and naval officials to as.

wrecked the interior of tho United

this morning, and caused damage esti-

The rapid spread of the blaxa,

was duo to delay in getting telephone
connections with the fire department.
But it was pointed out by fire de-
partment officials that had he hurried
to fire hearquarters, Just across tho
street, no time would have been
wasted in getting apparatus to the
scene.
The fire started on the first floor
on the f. street side of the building.
When the firemen arrived. the flames
were licking the ceiling and had
caused considerable damage. It was
seen that the fire was getting out

out additional apparatus.
Eliot Wadsworth, Assistant Sec
rotary OF the Treasury, inspected the
Quilted interior this morning. He
said some difficulty might be ex-
perienced by the department because
of the shortage of forms that are
used daily.
Wires All Encased.
I'VE arc doing everything possible
to get things working smoothly

determined the origin of the fire. It
could not have been caused by de-

wires in the building are encased in

The firemen were busy this morn

building. In parts of the structure
the water was almost knee deep.
Fire officials who visited the place
this morning said some months ago
1t had been suggested that fire-proof

Five Rules.
Here are five rules on how to

l A blond should marry a brunette
and vice versa:
?. Be financially independent; then
you can talk to your husband IL you

3. Do not scramble on the floor
for your husbands collar button.
4. Don't ask your husband to shine
your shoes. In other words do not
be your husbands slave, and do not
ask him to be yours.
5. Don't b. shocked II your hus-

One woman added that the only
way TO get a man was Ito make him
think he is 1t, never antagonize him
and keep him guessing"

THAT rule about being financially

Those girls are right on that point.
II is a new nut TO crack in married
life, now that the wife IL working in

Justice Gorter yesterday heard the

His decision was to not make any

the judge.

JAPAN IS SINCERE
VDES|RE TO HELP
WORLD At PEACE
John Hammond, Returning
From the Orient, Says Island
Kingdom Would Stop Wars.

Honolulu, Oct. 2O-John Hammond.
mining engineer, arrived from Japan
Thursday suffering from an attack of
ptomaine poisoning contracted during
three months tour of Japan. Mr..
Hammond's condition is not serious,
although he is confined to his state
room. He will continue his journey
to the mainland Friday.
That the business men and finan-
ciers Of Japan are sincere in their
expressed desire to maintain peace in
the Pacific, was the opinion expressed
by the American mining expert. He
pointed out as an argument in sup
port of this conclusion that the United
States buys four times the amount Of
goods from Japan purchased by the
remainder of the world
The military element in japan still!
must be considered" Mr.. Hammond
said. but the japanese people are
amenable to reason, especially owing
to the achievements Of the United
States in the world war. Also the
pacifist element throughout the coun-
try is strong.
"The principal complaint in Japan
is on the score of taxation. The fl
nnnciers realize that war with the
United States would be costly. par
ticularly in view of Japan's adverse
trade balance and the difficulty she
would face in obatining credit abroad.
The militarists know that Japan is
safe from invasion and they also
realize that the United States is
similarly immune
