INTERPRETATION FOR
 NEW CABLE |S URGED BY ARMY
OPPOSITION HAS ALREADY DE- VELOPED AMONG MEMBERS
 ON GROUND OF COST

WASHINGTON, Dec 16-The House Military Affairs committee is consid- ering the army appropriation bill for new cable to Alaska, each depart ment making every effort to have the bill enacted into law.
 The new cable item has been ap- proved by Secretary Weeks and the directors of the budget. Opposition has developed, however, in the committee on the theory that the computing cost of operation is greater than the re- ceipts.
 However, the whole cost of main taining the cableship Delwood is di- rectly charged to Alaska, while the vessel spends most of her time laying cables connected with the Puget Sound defense system.
 The need for new cable is imper- ative, the one now in use being worn out after quarter of century's serv- ice, and leaking badly.

FUNERAL PARTY HALTED
 TO FIGHT FATAL FLAMES

CONVECTION, Ky, Dec 16-Two are dead and 9S injured in fire which burned the High Point community school near here yesterday, when the building in which 99 children were en- gagged in studies was destroyed. A careful check today shows that all are accounted for and identified.
 The dead were James Steele, little son of John J. Steele, and the year old son of Charles Bachelor.
 These pupils were in the room of Mrs. Oscar Grant who heroically re- mained at a window and dropped 40 children to the ground before the floor of her room gave way and dropped her into the flames. She was unable to save the two boys who were lost in the smoke.
 Seventeen of the children are sui fering from broken limbs as a result of the 20-foot drop.
 A funeral party passing the school discovered smoke pouring from the windows, the procession was halted, and the men and women of the party rescued many of the children.
