ton of property valued at the astonish-
- total of $32, 962, 624, according to fig
us made public today by the national
board of fire underwriters, which com
piled the statistics from It's actuarial
bureaus records. These figures reveal,
in startling way. the price being paid
by the State for public ignorance and
carelessness in handling fire hazards.
The causes are classified under three
headings, Of which twelve are designated
as strictly preventable," with a total OF
$40, 96S, los or 33.2 per cent Of the whole;
nine are designated as partly preventa-
ble," the aggregate being $685. $50 or
40.5 per cent of the complete loss, and in
addition there are those listed in the

627 or 263 per cent. The unknown"
losses may be considered as largely pre-
ventable since, il determined, they would

balism has begun in the outlying dis
tricts and an old woman and a child
of nine have followed the cats and
dogs that already have been con.

this statement.
These measures Mr.. McAdoo quot
ed the railway executives as saying,
were caused by war conditions and
the efficient operation of the rail-
roads in support of the government
during the war justified every act of
the administration during that per-
iod.
Mr.. McAdoo who appeared at the
committee inquiry also quoted the

which are pending are inherently a

m. today Secretary Hughes presented
to the arms conference the treaty for
the limitation of naval ornaments.
The entire time Of .today's pleparYs
session of the conference. the fifth I'm

moment consumed with presentation
and acceptance of resolutions provid-
ing for returning certain sovereign
ties to China.
The naval treaty was not read but
Secretary Hughes outlined it's terms
but said SO far as capital ships were
concerned the integrity of the plan
proposed on behalf of the American
government has been maintained.

Chamber of Commerce Directors En-.
dorse Movement to Raise an En-
dowment Fund for Atlantic
Christian College.
At a meeting Of the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce held yes
terday, President Hilly and Mr.
George Hackney came before the
Board and stated that the College
was sadly in need of an endowment
fund in order to guarantee an in
come of at least $4,000 per annum
in order that the College could be
given a rating of Al by the State
Department Of Public Instruction.
Prof. Hilly has been very success
full in raising funds for the endow-
ment out of Wilson, but up to the
present time Wilson people have not
been called upon, although the col
lege has been here a great many
years. Prof. Hilly stated that he
hoped the good people of Wilson
would create a fund sufficient to in
sure a permanent income of around
$4,000 per annum or if they prefer
ed they could build a building. If
they decided on building then he
would raise the money elsewhere
for the endowment, but that one
thing or the other must be done il
the college is to be given the highest
rating by the State Department OF
Public Instruction.
Prof. Hilly stated that the burder
of raising money outside of Wilson
would be a great deal easier if the
people if Wilson would do theil
part, but he is always havins
thrown up to him the old question
of what are the people doing where
the college is located.
The directors were very much i'm
pressed witt the statements made b.
Prof. Hilly and Mr.. Hackney and ;
resolution was unanimously adopted
approving any steps the college nigh
take in raising funds in Wilson an
the gentlemen were assured that tn
Chamber of Commerce would bacl
them in the undertaking.

Withdrawal of Troops From
China Was Adopted Unani-
mously; Chinese Tariff Res
olutions Have Been Passed
Over; Two Open Door Res
olutions Were Adopted
Without Debate.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The fifth
open session of the arms conference
was called to order just after eleven
O'Clock today for presentation of the
naval limitation treaty and special
treaties limiting the use of submar-
ines and poisonous gas.

tions adopted in the far eastern COM
,mittee. He brought in the first resolu-
tion of Dec. IL for the withdrawal of
the foreign postofices from China
Without discussion the postof6ce
resolution was adopted and the con-

eastern resolutions
TIL resolution providing for the
withdrawal of foreign troops from
China was also adopted unanimously.
Mr.. Hughes then announced that
the Chinese tariff resolution would be
passed over for the present because
of special considerations affecting it.
It would come before the conference
later embodied in the custom treaty.
In quick succession the two open
door resolutions and the two resolu-
tions pledging against discriminatory
railroad practices in China were
adopted without debate. The declar-
alton of powers asking China to re-
duce her military force and resolu-
tion for publicity of foreign COM
mitments in China followed the same
rapid pathway to adoption.
The conference then adopted the
Chinese radio resolution of Dec. Z

principles by the powers and by
China which have already made pub

tions and Chairman Hughes announc-

STRIKE VOTE
TO BE TAKEN BY. men
WHO PAY WAS CUT

Detroit, May 3O-An order for a
strike vote among the 100000 men,
bers Of the United Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railroad Shop Laborers, was in pros
pect today as the executive commit
tee of the union met here to study the
decision of the railroad labor board,
reducing wages of the unions men,
bers.
In the opinion of the grand Off
GERS the cost of living has not de-
creased to such an extent that would
warrant reducing wages from one to
five cents an hour. Members of the
brotherhood, the officers pointed out,
already receive comparatively low
wage and, they added, could i'll afford
to accept the latest reduction, which
amounted to approximately 10 per
cent.
The union executives, President E.
F. Cradle explained, have power only
to recommend action by the member
ship and a strike decision would rest
solely upon the result of a referen-
dunn.

Germans Cannot
Agree With the
Allied Officials

Paris, May 3s.-Differences have
arisen between the Preparations CON-
mission and the German representa-
tives here over the translation of
Germany's reply to the commission
demands. Consequently, the commits
sion has not yet been able to consider
whether the reply is satisfactory, but
it was hoped today that an official
text in French and English would be
agreed upon during the day.
The answer, however, is regarded
as virtual acceptance Of all the con-
ditions relating to adjustment of
Germany's finances, as laid down by
the commission, with only minor
changes that can be quickly adjusted.
One of these differences concerns
the passage relating to the proposed
international loan. The German
text of this section seems satisfac-
tory, but the translations offered by
the Germans appear to make accept
ance of the commissions demands
conditional upon the granting of
loan, although this is not understood
to be the German intention.
