WILL INVESTIGATE
 STATE HOUSE FIRE

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 s most historic buildings, was threat ened last night with destruction by fire. The flames caused considerable damage to the 17S year old structure, but relies that were invaluable such as Benjamin -Franklin's first printing g press, maps, manuscripts, and Han cocks knee brooches and small coat, were saved.
 Investiga tors were at a loss to ac- count for 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 where the colonial legislature sat: where Gage, the last of the royal governors was proclaimed; where witchcraft trials were held. and Cap tain Kidd was examined; the place from which the Boston massacre was Preston. commander of the troops re- sponsible 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 a museum for many years. 5Rid after a hurried examination of the damage today that none of the relics on the first and second floors apparently had been seriously hurt although everything was pretty well 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 running up through the walls and to the cupola.
