Federal Storehouse for
Millions of Dollars

Flames Today

Washington, Feb. s. Fire
broke out on the roof of the treas
ury late this afternoon bat after
a few minutes of efforts by all the
fire fighting apparatus in the
downtown portion of the. capital
the blaze was believed to have
been brought under control. The
fire was caused by overturning Of
some sort of heating apparatus
used by workmen who have been
engaged in repairing and raising
the roof Of the building, which
holds millions upon millions Of
dollars in currency. Employees
numbering several thousand were
released from their work and left
the building without disorder.
The fire burned a portion of a
superstructure upon the roof bear
ing a small room used as a labora-
tory. Materials used by the work
men, including tarred paper, were
burned and while the fire was
confined to a small space the ma
ture of the material caused a great
deal of smoke which was seen
from many parts of the city and
added thousands Of spectators to
the thousands of clerks who had
left the building.
Two squads of marines from the
barracks were rushed to the treas
ury to cooperate with the police in
guarding the building, the Wash
ington police, and secret service
men in guarding the doors. Flames
could still be seen at 4 O'Clock,

FOR several months, the former:
transport was tied up in Hoboken.
Then, purchased from the govern
ment by the Admiral line for serv-
ice on the Pacific, she left last
night for Chester, under command
of the man who had tramped her
bridge during the stirring days Of
the war. She carried NO passen-
gers.
Four Workers Missing.
From Cape May the coast
guard cutter Kickapoo put out to
the aid of the Northern Pacific.
Officials of the Admiral line were
unable to state how many persons
were on board the steamer. Radio
messages from the steamer Trans
portation and the tanker Herbert
G. Wylc indicated, however, there
were 81 members of the crew and
four employees Of the Sun Ship
building corporation.
TWENTY-FIVE members of the
ships crew now on board" said
the Transportation's wireless.
Five on tanker rterbert G. Wylc.
That accounts for all hands in
crew. Ship now burning through
out length. Impossible to board
at this time"
The Wylc radioed she had stood
by the burning vessel until day
light, seeking the four missing
men but had not found them.
The United States coast guard
cutter Gresham left Staten island
to go to the burning steamer.
The wireless calls for aid sent
out by the flaming steamer were
first answered by the Herbert G.
Wylc and the Transportation,
which reported at o'clock that
they had picked up beats contain
ing members of the Northern Pa
cific's crew. The Transportation
at that hour said "Have all the
crew but nine men, who possibly
are adrift."
Stewards Escaped Trap.
A few minutes later the Wylc
sent a radio saying she had picked
up boat containing the second
mate, the second engineer, two
sailors and one oiler or fireman.
A re-check of the rescued men was
apparently made but, however,
later it was said four men had
not been found.
The second mate of the North
ern Pacific, when picked up by the
Wylc, asked that the Transporta-
tion be asked If all men employed
in the stewards department OF
the burning ship were safe, add
ing, they were virtually trapped
by the fire"
The transportation replied that
all the men under the supervision
Of the Northern Paeific's stewards
were safe and on board the rescu-
ing vessel.
All Believed Safe.
1t was after 4 o'clock when the
Northern Pacific were reported to
have sunk. At 4:34 a dispatch
