Proposed substantial increases in

pressed by treasury officials.
The senate confirmed the nomina-
ton of Arthur H. Giessler, of Okla
homa City to be minister to Guate-
mala. The nomination Of Dwight Da-
Wis Of st. Louis to be member of the
war finance corporation was also con-
firmed. He had been nominated to
succeed himself as member and the
confirmation means that the corpora
ton can resume making advances for
agricultural and live stock purposes
Democratic members Of the senate
finance committee may be called upon
to break deadlock among the Repub-
licans Of the committee over soldiers
bonus legislation. The subject was
brought up at a meeting of the major
fly and it developed that there was a
five to five division on the so-called
McCumber plan-the amended house
bill-and the Smott proposal to issue
to service men paid up insurance pol
icies in lieu of all compensation op-
heretofore proposed.
Practically all the daylight hours
were spent by the senate in fight
over the tariff duties on graphite,
which spit both the Republican and
Democratic ranks, but left the finance
committee majority victorious. AS
sault after assault was made on the
committee proposals, with roll call fol-
lowing roll call, but each was repulsed,
the duties being approved as recon.

BIG DEPARTMENT
STORE HAS FIRE
FIRE, WATER AND smoke CAUSES
s65o,ooo DAMAGE TO BRN.
BLOCK AT MEMPHIS.
CROSSED WIRES START FIRE
Two Thousand Employees and custo'
mers Make Exist safety-Water
Causes Big Loss.

Memphis-Fre, born of crossed
wires in the caves of the roof which
gables the Clay building, owned and
leased by the Bry-Block Mercantile
Company as part of their dry goods
block, at Main and jefferson, swept
westward after flying start causing
damage estimated from $650,OO0 to
100000 to the entire establishment.
Nearly all of the damage, which is
fully covered by insurance handled by
dozen Memphis agencies, was the
result of the furious shooting of 9O0,.
600 gallons of water into the building,
which extends from Main to Front
Streets, and covers all but a small
portion of the half block running from
Jefferson to the alley half between
that avenue and Adams.
Quick thinking by a negro employ.
ed by the water department, who later
directly violated orders to cut off the
water in the alley adjoining the ar
rival OF repair unit, probably saved
the building which is valued at some.
thing over million dollars. The Ia
borer, upon hearing the fire alarm
turned on the high pressure current
and saved the day.
With the exception of small cor
ner between Front Street and the al
ley directly east of it on Jefferson,
occupied by Matt Monaghan & Co..
fish and game merchants, and a part
Of Bry's grocery department, the en-.
tire six story building, filled with a
thousand varieties Of merchandise, was
completely drenched with water.
Steady playing OF two lines of hose
on the porperty occupied by the Win
kelman Baking Company, north Of
the alley between it and the Bry block
saved the flames from spreading be
yond the confines of the mercantile
establishment. Except for minor
water damage to the roof, the prop
erty, between Front and Main streets.
kept the flames from spreading in that
direction.
Destruction by fire was estimated
at at $4,000, half of which is repre-
sented in merchandise and the other
half in the structure. The balance OF
the loss was sustained when the wa
ter flowed in torrents.
No loss of life was reported, either
among the 1000 employees, largely
girls and women, or among the shop
pers, approximately 1000 of whom
had ample time to leave the building
Several women tainted and were car
ried out, but soon regained their com,
posture.
