FLAMES THREATEN
TREASURY BUILDING
Only Slight Damage Done, However,
by Afternoon Blaze on Roof.

Washington, Feb. S.-Blazing scat
folding and repair materials, accom-
panied by the explosion of barrel of
Kerosene on the roof of the treasury
building, threatened the structure for
half an hour late today until the fire
was brought under control with
nearly every engine company in the
downtown section in action. A blue
print laboratory and small contrac-
tors shack on the roof were destroyed.
damage was slight, but no figure on
the loss from fire and water was avail
able tonight. Thousands of afternoon
shoppeds were attracted by dense
clouds Of smoke pierced by high
flames thrown up when the blaze
reached a supply Of tar and tar paper.
Treasury employees, who left the
building in orderly manner after the
alarm was sounded, Joined the spec
tators while the firemen went about
their work
The millions Of ,1cliars OF the ma
tons treasure stored in the building
was guarded by Gordon Of United
States marines md secret service
men. No one was injured and no
valuable blue prints were destroyed.
according to J. A, Wetmorc, super
vising architect of the treasury, and
William Y. Brady, superintendent of
nD, u,
room, when the fire started, saved all
the important plans before they left.
The print room was situated directly
above the supervising architects Of
flee, where plans for government
buildings are drawn. Repair work
has been proceeding on the roof of
the structure for several months.

WORK SUSPENDED
ON NAVAL VESSELS
Secretary Dcnby Acts at Presidents
Direction. Waiting for Treaty.

3ShlnStOn, FEB. S.-C0nStructlOn
work on ii capital shias WAS suspend
ed today by order Of Secretary DENLY
under dirtction Of President Harding.
The step was taken in anticipation Of
ratification Of the naval limitation
treaty which resulted from the Wash
ington conference and under which
only three Of the vessels involved will
be completed as war craft. The other
III will be scralopcd or converted to
merchant ships under the treaty pro
visions.
Secretary DENLY acted after Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt had discussed
with Presidtnt Harding the terms of
the treaty affecting the new ships.
Mr.. Harding approved the suggestion
that work be brought to standstill
Immediately on the eight super
dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers
pending final action on the treaty. In
round figures, the building operations
thus halted have cost the government
approximately $5,O00,00O month.
Following ratification OF the treaty
contracts for the new ships will be
cancelled. The ultimate cost to the
government of this cancellation can
not be determined in advance but
naval officials believe that con-
siderable saving will be made through
todays action.
Only one capital ship under con-
struction was exempted from todays
suspension order. She is the Colo
RADIO, more than 80 per cent. compete,
and which will be retained in the per-
manent fleet. Ships on which work
was stopped included eight first-class
battleships, the Washington at the
New York Ship Building corporation;
the West Virginia, Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company;
the South Dakota, New York navy
yard; the Indiana, New York navy
yard; the Montana, Mare Island navy
yard; the North Carolina, Norfolk
navy yard; the Iowa, Newport News
Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company,
and the Massachusetts, Bethlehem
Shipbuilding corporation, Fore River

Work was also ordered suspended
on six battle cruisers as follows: Lex
ington, Bethlehem Shipbuilding cor
poration; Constellation, Newport News
Shipbuilding and DRY Dock company;
Saratoga, New York Shipbuilding cor
poration; Ranger, Newport News Ship
building and Dry Dock company;

delphia navy yard.
While work on the battleships West
Virginia and Washington was ordered
stopped one Of these ships will be
completed and added to the fleet when
finished. Which is to be selected for
completion has not been decided, but
it was indicated that the West Vir-

GOOD ADVICE FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY

People who are anxious, or even
Only willing, to buy oil stock, should
heed the following from Arthur Bris-
bane:
'The government is selling five
hundred millions of long time bonds,
paying Az per cent interest. Pur-
chasers have paid fifty cents above
par. Before the war they would glad
ly have paid thirty dollars above par
for such bond. Times change. So
does Uncle Sans credit-after get
ting mixed up with Europe.
"Other gentlemen in Wall street,
the oil men, have been having a
pleasant time. One oil company an
nounced dividend of 200 per cent in
stock. 1t was said: This stock divi-
dend will be paid out, now that the
soldiers bonus is disposed Of Dis
posed of is the correct work. One oil
stock has gone up $500 a share recent,
ly. They are all jumping-the gooo
ones. But be careful how you buy oil
stocks offered you by mail with bright
promises. You don't find anybody
forcing Standard Oil stock upon you.

DON'T BUY SIGHT UNSEEN"
marion County Floridian)

Marion OOuuLy IV1ioAdAt
With all the bitter experience that
the country has had as a result of the
purchase of lands "sight unseen" it is
still necessary to warn against the
very foolish mistake of buying prop
erty anywhere before seeing it. From
time to time the Chamber of Com
merce receives letters which unmis-
takably indicate that the writer's
have bought lands in Marion county
with no true knowledge whatever of
them. Florida does not want failures.
1t wants the people who come into the
state to succeed, to be happy and
contented people. All Florida lands
are not desirable. The state is not
that much of a paradise. But there
are millions of acres of good lands
here, and there are types of soil which
are best suited for each of the many
crops.
So we say again: Come to Marion
county. See for yourself what this
section of the state is like. 1t is a
wonderful county, larger than the
state of Rhode Island by several hun
dred square miles. It is worth
while county in which to live. There
are many opportunities here, most
Of them in agriculture and horticul-
ture Success is to be attained only
by the same general methods and in
dustry which make for success else
where Florida's great attraction is
that here the earning of ones liveli-
hood by the sweat of ones brow is
made less arduous by the pleasures of
a climate that is free from the ex-
tremes of weather, by a year around
life in the open, by such things as
sunshine and orange groves; and
Marion county has wonderful share
in the delights of this glorious staet.

DONATION FROM THE BANNER

The Star has received from its local
contemporary, the Banner, donation
of five dollars for the democratic
campaign fund.
We particularly appreciate this sub
scription because it is one of those
graceful acts of courtesy seldom paid
by one newspaper to another. 1t is a
strong evidence of the good feeling
existing between the two Ocala papers
that the Banner has chosen to hand
It's contribution to the Star instead of
sending it direct to the committee.
If we can obtain a few more plunks,
we will send another check to the
committee at once. There are only
three weeks more of the campaign
and the committee needs every dollar
it can obtain as soon as possible.

statement is ambiguous, it is clearly
in error, no matter what construction
might be placed on it. / take it that
it was intended to say that Mr.. Nc
Whorter is the only southern news

paper position in Florida. Certainly,
the writer of that paragraph is not
familiar with newspaper conditions in
Florida. Willis M. Ball, editor Of the

LAND FOR
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Senator Fletcher has steered thru
Congress bill that will greatly
benefit our public schools. 1t is as
follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Unit
ed States of America in Congress as
|sembled, That all the unsurveyed sec
tons sixteen within the exterior linn
its of the area patented to the state
of Florida April 2. 1908, under the
provisions of the act of September %,

glades, not mineral in character, and
not occupied on May q. 1922, by bona
fide settlers under the homestead law,
be, and the same are hereby, reserved,
granted and confirmed to the state of
Florida for the benefit of public
schools as though the official surveys
had been extended over such lands.
Approved, September %. 1922.
This act of Congress, based upon
Senate Bill 3641 introduced by Sena-
tor Fletcher, grants and confirms to
the state of Florida the title in and to
about 10000 acres of land in Palm
Beach, Broward, Dade, Monroe and
Lee counties for the benefit of public
schools.
1t is said that a large area of the
land has a present market value of
several hundred dollars per acre, and
that the whole area will be greatly
benefited by the construction of ca
mails and other improvements.

AN HONEST APPORTIoNMENT

We have great esteem for the judg-
ment of Editor Benjamin of the Ocala
Star, and for his always evident pur-
pose to- do iustice-even for the chip
on-his-shoulder" spirit of most of his
writings. Although we have not had
the privilege of personal acquaintance
We have formed the impression of him
that he is well-equipped newspaper
man. and that he is unusually pains
taxing in the ascertainment and pre-
ssntation of facts. We are, therefore,
surprised and disappointed to find him
the only, editorial writer of any prom
inence in all south and central Flor
disappearing the pending constitu-
tional amendment providing for reap
pprtionment of the legislative repre-
,sentation. And we must come to the
conclusion, in considering his attitude
on, the question, that he has not read
the amendment, but has formed his
opinions from the specious arguments
and writings of the west Florida poll
ticians.
In the issue of the Star of the 4th
inst. we find an extended discussion
OF, the question containing many
statements which are unfair to the
practically unanimous attitude of the
people of south Florida, and which
support our theory that the editor of
the Star has not read the amend
ment.-Tampa Times.
We greatly appreciate the courtesy
and good will of the Times and should
be glad to carry on discussions on all
public affairs in that spirit. Unfor-
tunately some other papers are not
possessed of the Times good sense
and moderation.
The Times, however, if it believes
we are a "well-equipped newspaper
man." should not assume that we
would discuss such an important sub
ject as the amendment without study
80 ing it. It is more excusable in assum
ing that we have formed opinion.
from West Florida newspapers anC
politicians. But of truth we hav,
not consulted either. The Pensacol;
News is the only West Florida pape
on our exchange list, and it has hat
very little to say about the amend
ment. We have not even spoken t.
any West Florida politician on tn
subject. The Times goes on to say:
att is provided in the amendmen
that, if it is adopted, the apportion
ment thus made shall not be change
for a period of ten years. The dis
parity in the representation of tn
southern counties as compared wit
the representation of the western an
northern counties is great today, bu
If the present rate of development an
increase in population is maintaine
In the southern counties this disparit
will be much greater before the en-
of the period of ten years durin
which this amendment says the appor
tionment must not be disturbed"
While it is true that the amendmen
says no other apportionment can b
made, if the amendment is adopted
until 1888. the Times and other OF
ponents of the amendment total
