1t goes without saying that the cost

It is the aim of Goodyear officials
to bring their entire supply of rubber
directly into Los Angeles harbor as
rapidly as conditions VIII permit.
Heretofore the limited number of
boats plying between the orient and
the harbor has necessitated the re-
ceipt OF rubber cargoes at other Pa

Los Angeles. But with the establish

anticipated that the entire supply will
be brought direct TO the local harbor

When the Treasury Building
Burned Nearly a Century Ago

was discovered. SO by the time the
firemen got into action the building
was one mass of seething flames.
Scores of men, many of them clerks in
the Treasury, worked frantically to
save the valuable records and docu-
ments in the building. In their haste
they did not hesitate to pitch the
books out the windows, regardless of
consequences Two sons of the chief
clerk were among those who remained
in the building until the last minute
before the roof collapsed.
AS the papers were carried from
the burning building. the Secretary
Of the Treasury. Louis McLane, direct
ed the disposal of this matter across
the street. The Secretary of War or
dered a military guard posted, in or
der to watch them until they could be
removed to safer quarters. By Sun
day noon Secretary McLane had rent
ed a row of five houses on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue as a tenn
porary home for the Treasury De-
partment. The next two days were
spent in moving the papers and in
bringing order out of chaos. On Wed
nesday the Treasury opened for BUSH
ness as usual.
At first every one believed that the
fire was accidental. Subsequent de-
velopments led to the arrest of a man
on the charge OF setting fire to the
Treasury building in order to destroy
some fraudulent pension papers. He
