Republican Factions

Robert Small, special correspond
ent. writing from Washington, says:
The legislative situation in congress
once more is approaching the point
where President Harding will have to
take hand in 1t. The recess Of a
month apparently did nothing to bet
ter the ill-fecling which exists among
certain groups Of senator's and there
Is Just us much rccalcitrant talk and
action as nt any time In the past.
Tho senate leaders themselves vir.
t,,ally have admitted their helplessneSs
in the face Of the obstructive tactica
which are constantly being rcsortcd to.
They will not predict what may or
may not bc done. Thus far In the ses.
sion the Democrats have been content
to sit by and watch with ill-cOncealed

Remarkably good work by the fire
fighters prevented the fire which broke
out in the Doolittle annex to the So
called jelly mill building on Flat street
shortly before > o'clock yesterday after
noon from spreading beyond those build
ings. in fact the main building remains
intact, outside of water damage. except
that the roof was burned off and the
southwest corner of the third and fourth
floors were burned. The Doolittle build
ing was a total loss.
1t is not easy to estimate the total
damage. but $4,000 is believed to be
a reasonable figure The total insurance
on the buildings and contents was only
about $4,000, the owners figuring that
the rate of insurance was such that they
could afford to carry their own risks to
a large extent.
Arthur II. Wilson, proprietor of the
garage in the Doolittle building, carried
$1,000 insurance in II. T. Taylor & Sons
agency. His loss on stock and tools was
about $1,000. The Warren c. Doolittle
estate, which owned the annex, carried
no insurance. Philip Colgrove, whose
blacksmith shop was located in the Doo-
little building, carried 81 900 insurance
in Thomas T. Brittan's agency. His shop
was not burned as badly as one would
expect. but he had three electric motors
damaged. also shafting and other prop
erty. and he estimates his loss at $500
to $500. The main building, owned by
the George +. Crowel estate. was in
sured for $1,000 in the Taylor agency.
