SECOND STUBBORN FIRE THREATENS
 TREASURY BUILDING AT WASHINGTON
Lurid Glow of Flames Lights Up Entire City
 Loss Estimated At About
 s75,ooo.

Washington, May 3.--For the sec ond time in three months, tiremen early today hattled with a stubborn fire on the roof Of the treasury de partnlent which for time assumed menacing proportions as the flames, burning through long superstruc- ture leaped high in the air and cast a threatening glow on the White House itself while sparks waited across to its surrounding terrace.
 Flames Light Up City
 When discovered about 1:45 a, m.. the flames had gained considerable headway and were soaring to a height of S0 or 40 feet when fire appa ratus responding to five alarms, arrived at the scene. Gaining impetus about that time from dull, rumbling ex- plosion which fremen believe was caused by building materials stored for use in the present work Of raising the roof of the structure the blaze cast a bright glow on the night sky over the entire downtown section be- fore it subsided under the effect of water from dozen hose lines. The White House and Washington monu- ment stood out in sharp relief in the fantastic light Of the flames.
 President Watches Blaze
 Awakened by White House attend ants. President and Mrs Harding dressed and from a window watched the firemen battle the flames in the nearby building.
 When checked after about so min utes effort the flames had burned en- tirely through one section Of the sup i erstructure which tops the section of the building that divides the court and had spread to parts of the central portion of the roof. Unofficial esti- mates, however, place the damage at not more than s75,o00, although it is l not known whether this adequately | took into account the possible dam lge from water which it was believed | might be considerably in the court | section of the building immediately | lnder the central blaze.
 Marines Guard Building
 Bremen had been on the scene only | l few minutes when cordon of | about 50 marines, hastily recruited | rom a number on liberty here from he Quantico, Va, barracks was hrown around the building. The | general public and representatives of he press alike were denied permis- ,ion to pass within the line which had made it difficult at an early hour to- lay to ascertain ahe exact damage. 1nder Secretary of the Treasury Cliff ord was early on the scene to take ,harge of the protection of the build ng and the cordon of marines was till maintained there at an early lour.
 The blaze apparently was of much he same nature as that which occur ed on the treasury roof during office lours, when hundreds of employees were in the building last February s. This was extinguished without heavy iamage although threatening blaze esulted from the burning of much caffolding and some of the new roof tructure.

FLEECED OF $IOO,OOO
 ON GOLD MINE OPTION
International Crooks Cap tured in Paris for Deal
 In Schenectady, N. Y.

Paris May (By Associated Press) Arthur Ernest Cox the French police claim to have put an end to the ac- tivities of two international crooks
 one of whose last fields of endeavor was vicinity of Albany, N. Y. where l they sold an option on gold mine Ito a wealthy foreigner visiting America whose name the police withhold, for $100.O00.
 The arrest was made at the request of the American. embassy on a war rant to which there is attached de- mand for extradition and, despite their protests that they are innocent business men, Pincott and Cox spent last evening in La Sante prison. Pin colt claims Melbourne, Australia. as his home while Cox professes to be a citizen of London.
 According to the police, the men have been working various confidence games all over the world, at times selling oil stocks and options on pub lie buildings or dabbling in gold bricks until they met their alleged victim.
 He gave them $1o0,o0o for the mine option and the police say he must have spent much more in his efforts to meet them again, as search was made in every large city of Europe before they were finally located in the most expensive suite of the Hotel Cril- lon where they were busy negotiating the sale of large Texas ranch.
 Larger than the principality of Monaco, and as profitable" was the way they described it to prospective purchasers.
