BY ANOTHER FIRE
Place Where Blaze Started Only
Two Buildings From Last
Large Confiagration.
(sy The Associated Press)

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 27.-Fire start
ing here at IL o'clock tonight over in
the heart Of the business district
threatens the block.
General alarm has sounded and the
fire is bursting from all sides and
through the top of the four story
building where the fire started
The place where tonight's fire start
ed was only two buildings distant from
the spot where the last conflagration
was checked. The Augusta Trunk
factory, a leather goods store on the
first floor of the building, has been
completely gutted and the flames are
bursting from the roof and windows.
1t seems at this time however, that
the fire win be controlled before It ig-
mites nearby buildings, fire walls serv-
ing as barriers. The wind is very
light, blowing gently to the east but
the flames are not mounting high nor
sparks flying as fast as they did in
the confla grafton of December last.
All of the engines of the city's fire
departments are in service with the
exception OF the necessary reserve.

FIRST ANNUAL AUTOMOBILE SHOW
IN PENSACOLA IS DRAWING CARD
Many Visitors Declare 1t to Be
One of the Best Ever Put
on in the South.

That Pensacola's Automobile Show
is che of the great attractions of
carnival, and easily sets the pace for
other cities of this size was the gem
eral expression yesterday afternoon
and evening. the hundreds who visited
the show being in unit in declaring it
south.
Cars with a valuation of hun
dreds of thousand of dollars; booths,
some of which are lavishly decorated,
and all most attractive; and automo-
bile accessories which are among the
latest improvements, give to the great
tent an atmosphere of progressive
modernity and easily place Pensacola's
first automobile show in the front
ranks.
Many who visited the grounds yes
terday afternoon declared that they
had seen the shows both in Atlanta
and Jacksonville, and believed that the
Pensacola show was equally as good,
If not as large, as the shows of the
larger cities.
Gathered together in the embrasure
of the great tent are the latest models
of automobiles, and added to these at
fractions, is the daring leap for life
which is made twice in the afternoon
and once each evening by the Over
land machine, which makes a jump of
eighteen feet, a special platform being
erected for this stunt.
The price of entrance to the auto
mobile show is only ten cents, as
against fifty cents to the shows in
larger cities of the country, and not
only those who are specially interested
in automobiles, but the general public
will find much to interest them, be-
sides receiving valuable literature
which not only advertises the cars, but
gives to both the expert and the novice
understanding of the greatest com
mercial invention of recent years
the automobile.

FIRST CONCERTED
AND OPEN ATTACK
MADE ON TREATIES
Foreign Relations Committee
Completes Consideration and
Orders Favorable Report.
ARGUMENT is CENTERED
AROUND THE YAP TREATY
Opposition Says Treaties Are
Trying to Be Forced Through
Without Due Publicity.
tBy The Associates Prsss)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The first
concerted attack on the arms confer
ence treaties by tactics which admin
istration leaders openly charged sug-
gesting a filibuster was launched in
the senate today, just as the foreign
relations committee completed its
consideration of the covenants and or
dered all of them favorably reported.
After several hours of wrangling a
unanimous agreement was reached to
vote not later than p. m, Thursday,
on ratification of the treaty with Ja-
pan relating to Yap and other man
dated islands in the Pacific. Immedi-
ately afterwards debate is to begin on
the other trea ties resulting from the
conference negotiations.
Using the zap treaty as the immedi-
ate vehicle of their discussion, but
interspersing remarks on many other
subjects and frequent quorum calls,
opponents of the conference program
carried on such a determined all day
assault that the senate managers pro-
longed the session into the evening, in
the hope of wearing down their assail-
ants.
One incident to the series of pointed
exchanges running through the debate
was a complete disclaimer from the
democratic side that political opposi-
ton had been organized against the
treaties or had been counselled by
formet President Wilson. Senator
Glass, democrat, Virginia, who was a
,I~z1. - ~ Z
nainistration, denied as purest inven-
ton a published story that Mr.. Wilson
had suggested a course of action to
his friends in the senate.
The attack on the Yap treaty, during
which many stray shots were taken at
others OF the arms conference agree
ments, was led by Senators Johnson,
republican, California, and Reed, DEM
ocrat, Missouri the former character
ized the Yap pact as "a dismal pro-
logue' to the conferences series of
covenants, and the latter openly
charging republican leaders with an
effort to force the treaties through the
senate before the country discovered
what they contain.
The Zap treaty was defended by
Senator Underwood. of Alabama,
democratic leader, and member of
the American arms conference delega-
tion, although he declared he was en-
tirely I'm agreement with the premises
on which the pact was drawn. He ar
gded that the United States never had
an undivided one-fifth'' of sever
eighty over the Pacific islands, and
hence was not giving 1t up under the
treaty.
