FLAMES LEAPED
HIGH INTO AIR
IN GREAT RUSH
Fire Was Extinguished
After Damage Of $4,000

/ Fire Was Very Similar to
One Which Broke Out
During Office Hours on
February 5.

Washington. D. c., May 3.--for the
lecond time in three months, hremen
,arly to-day battlcd with stubborn
6re on the roof of the treasury depart !
ment which for time assumed menac-
Ing proportions as the flames, burning
through long superstructure, ieaped
bich in the air and cast a threatening
rlow on the White House itself while
,parks waited across to its surrounding
terrace.
When discovered about l:45: a, IN.
ihe flames already had gained consider
,ble headway and were soaring to a
height of thirty or forty feet as hire
apparatus arrived at the scene, The
blaze gained impetus about that time
from a dull, rumbling explosion which
bremen believe was caused by building
materials stored for use in raising the
soof OF the structure.
Awakened by White House attend
ants President and Mrs. Harding
Iressed and from window watched the
bremen battle the flames in the nearby
building.
When checked after about thirty
minutes effort. the flames had burned
Entirely through one section OF the
supersfructure which. tops that part OF
The building and had spread to parts OF
lhe central portion OF the ROOT. IN
official estimates, however. place the
damage at not more than $4,000.
The blaze apparently was OF much
the same nature as that which occurred
pn the treasury roof during office hours,
when hundreds of employees were in the
building last February 8. This was
extinguished without heavy damage,
although threatening blaze resulted
from tie burning of much scaffolding
md some of the new roof structure.

BETTER TRAINING FOR BAR
Advocated BY Members Of the Vermont
Bar.

In Vermont supreme court yesterday
afternoon the court heard suggestions
from members of the Vermont Bar as
sociation regarding regulations "a 10
admission to the bar. The prevailing
opinion seemed TO he that there should
be broader preliminary training before
a student could take up law. The
American Bar association is urging the
requirement OF two years Of college
work. but several Of the Vermont law
yers did not advocate this policy. II
seemed that the court was more con
cerned about the lack of applicants
than about the college preparation.

SLOPE CROPS
ARE UNNJU|RED|
Excessive Heat of Sunday
and Monday Did No
Apparent Harm.

Mandan. N. D., June 7.-Although
on Sunday and Monday 'the ther-
mometer registered "a in the shade,
crops in the Missouri slope counties
continue to appear most promising.
and in Oliver counties the extreme
heat may affect crops slightly, 1t is
thought, but expert agriculturists de-
clare the toung grains have great re-
Operative powers
Generally conditions are excellent.
The Mclaughlin. Fort Yates, Solen
area in Sioux county and across the
line into South Dakota had SIS
inches of rain in May, according to
weather bureau agencies. Much of
this came with a two-inch deulge on
Tuesday. May o., which soaked the
ground generously.
This extremely heavy rainfall ex-
tended as far west as Baker, Mont,
along the southern boundary coun.
ties. Ohter districts have also re-
ported plentiful, rains, including the
areas around New England, Mott,
Regent. in Hettinger county, while
south Of Glen Ullin and New Salem,
in MortonScounty, whore drought was
especially disastrous last year, the
6elds are covered with q thick stand
of perfect grain.
GOLDEN valley county has had rain
every other day until Sunday last
has been supplied as we'll, while
Mercer, Oliver and Dunn counties
have had several heavy rains and
numerous showers, but have been
least generously dealt with, es-
! pecfally in the eastern districts.
Cooler weather Tuesday proved
beneficial and made growing condi-
lions ideal: Rains within the next
week. coupled with absence OF hot
winds. will ensure to the fourteen
counties OF the Missouri Slope the
greatest wheat and small grain crops
since 1915, 1t IL now believed.
