Referring to remark made in the

Rush termed it far fetched. in view
of the states attempt with Burch on

COSTLY CHICAGO

MANY PROBLEMS
FACING EIREMEN

CHICAGO, Darch 15.--1nvestiga-
ton of the cause OF the fire which
destroyed a solid block of thickly
tenanted office buildings, caused a
loss Of more than $5,000,000, resulted
in the death OF one man and made
10000 workers idle, was begun to-
night by state, city and insurance
officials.
The manner In which the flames
fIared out in several places at the
same moment, the extraordinary
rapidity with which they spread un-
til nothing but smouldering ruins
was left of the entire block bounded
by South Canal, West Van Buren,
and South Clinton streets and West
Jackson boulevard, caused Shirley T.
High, fire attorney, to announce that
everything pointed to incendiarism.
The first still alarm was turned
in at 1880 a. M, but it was mot un-
til four hours later that the fire
was brought under control.
Just across the street from the
charred landscape of tottering walls
and twisted, smoking ruins of which
firemen expected to be working for
the next three days, lowered the
massive skeleton OF the fire proof"
Burlington building today. The walls
still stood intact, but its IS stories
Of windows stared like sightless eyes
over the scene Of desolation. The
structure housed the headquarters
of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad and all Of the rec
ords Of the operating. engineering,
legal and executive departments
were destroyed.
Officials of the board OF under
writers declared that the fire, the
most destructive since the city was
destroyed by flames in 1871, re-
vealed many problems which would
have to be met by firemen before
they could hope to cope successfully
with fires in great modern sky
scrapers. The effect of the flames
on the Burlington building was de-
clared to show that no skyscraper is
free from fire danger, and that the
modern fire department is prac-
tically helpless against blaze that
gains great headway In the upper
floors OF a tall building.
Insurance men, underwriters and
firemen declared that methods would
have to be devised to enable fire
fighters to get more water to the
top OF high buildings. The use OF
water towers, such as are said to
have proved effective in New York
by means of which streams of water
can be poured into the upper floors
of a. building, also was advocated by
the insurance men, who pointed out
that the Chicago department lacked
apparatus Of this character.

-Four distinct proposals for the development of the
Colorado river-descrbed as the worlds greatest un-
developed resource-and for the distribution of the
benefits therefrom among the basin states were
presented to Secretary Of Commerce Hoover chairman
of the Colorado River commission and member com
mssioners at the first of series of hearings in the

resentatives of Arizona-A. G. McGregor of Warren
and George H. Maxwell of Phoenx-and Nevada
voiced their views at the opening session. The debera
tions will be resumed at the federal building at IL
o'clock this morning.
Leaders of finance, commerce and industry from all
sections of the Southwest came to hear presentation of
plans for the development of what Secretary Hoover
described as Americas greatest asset" From out of
its deliberations Chairman Hoover said the commission

DEBATE
ON PACT AND.
AMENDMENTS
Administration L e a d ers
Hail Agreement as Ger
tain Indication that Rati-
hcation Is Assured.
TRepubIlcan A. ?. Leased WlreI

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Oppo-
nents ofsthe four-power Pacific trea-
ty in the senate tdoay abandoned all
plans for a prolonged fight against
ratification and accepted a unani-
nous consent agreement to limit de-
bate and to take a final vote ON Fri
day, March "A.
The agreement, which was hailed
by administration leaders as a certain
indication that ratification is assured,
was proposed on the senate floor
after a series of conferences among
the various senate elements and was
accepted virtually without debate.
1t provides that no further reserva-
tions or amendments shall be voted
on until next Tuesday, that speech
es on the treaty shall be limited to
one hour and those on reservations
to 80 minutes each, beginning on
Wednesday, and that final vote shall
be taken without debate as soon as
the senate convenes on the following
Friday.
Negotiations to bring the ratifica-
ton fight to an end began after the
senate had refused for the third time
to amend the treaty so that outside
powers would be called into consul
tation when any Pacific controversy
touches their interests. An amend
ment for that purpose, in form diff
fering slightly from the two voted
down yesterday, was presented by
Senator Pittman, Democrat of Neva-
da, and was defeated 2S to so with
the division Of strength virtually CO.
inciding with party lines.
Little Running Debate
Little running debate developed
over the amendment for the treaty
generally. although late in the day
Senator Spencer. Republican of Mis-
souri,, treaty supporter, stirred up a
cross-fire of discussion by assailing
the mo alliance" reservation of the
foreign relations committee. He de-
clared the treaty did create can alli-
ance for conference" and that the
reservation constituted a ridiculous
absurdity." In the course of the day
ratification was urged by Senator
Ransdell, Democrat of Louisiana, g.
charge of ''propa ganda" in favor of
the treaty was made by Senator Pitt
man, and an attack on Irish Ameri-
can influences against the four power
pact" was made by Senator Williams.
Democrat of Mississippi.
Meantime, also, Awo new reserva-
tions and one more amendment were
offered for later consideration. Dne
Of the reservations was put in by
Senator Johnson, Republican OF Cali
fornia, and embodied the language Of
the reservation which had been pre-
scented by Senator Brandegee, Repub-
lican of Connecticut, in the 1Nreign
relations committee, but abandoned
by him after a conference with Pres
ident Harding. The other reservation
was by Senator Shields, Democrat of
Tennessee, and would declare the
treaty meant no interference in for
eign quarrels. The amendment Of

crat of Arkansas, would pledge the
