FOURTH MYSTERY
FIRE OCCURS At
EAST LAS VEGAS
House of J. H. Swallow
Damaged; Man Seen
Crawling on the Floor
as Blaze is Discovered.

| ESPECIAL o 5PATCH TO MORNING JOURNAL
East Las Vegas, N. M, Feb. 16.-
A garage man whose place Is near
the J, H. Swallow house, believes
he saw the man who set fire to the
residence early last night. He ap-
preached the burning house from
the rear, and, through a window
lighted by flames in the back
ground, saw man crawling on the
floor. The man was an Anglo
| American, of medium build, and
had on a pair of khaki gloves. The
garage man thought the man was
a fireman and was surprised on
reaching the front to find that the
firemen had not yet forced the
door. In tho meantime the
strange man escaped.
1t was not suspected the fire was
of incondiary origin until this
morning, when it was found that
the rugs and clothing in an upper
room were saturated with oil
Quick work by rlremen undouhted-
ly saved the house and the entire
block, as the houses are close to-
gether and the wind was in the
right direction to spread the flames
A close guard is being kept on
all public buildings, and this may
have driven the pyromaniac be-
lieved to be operating here to at
tack private property. That the
firebug is insane is now generally
believed, and it is expected that he
will be caught. There is no motive
known for the firing of the Swallow
house. The Swallow fire was the
fourth believed to be ineendiary
since the damaging of the normal
building FebruarY 2.

No Record Kept.
Senator Underwood, explaining
at length why no record Of the
negotiations was kept. declared the
discussions could not be carried on
in a public way because they con-
cerned principally the ahrogation
Of the Anglo Japanese alliance, a
subject on which the American
delegation could speak only by
private suggestion.
The "heads of delegations" Mr..
Underwood added, conducted d.

changes leading up to the treaty.
Declaring himself amazed" that
no minutes of so important a dis
cussion had been kept, Senator
Hitchcock replied that his resolu-
tion at least might result in some
light being thrown on certain uues-
tons raised in regard to the inter

When President Harding will re-
ply to the resolution was uncertain
tonight in view of the absence of
Secretary Hughes, who has gone
to Bermuda.
1t was indicated. however. that
action would be taken as quickly
as possible because of the presi-
dents desire to have ratification Of
the treaties completed without de-
lay. Despite the attention tempo
rarily given the other treaties by
the foreign relations committee,
senate leaders have not altered
their intention of bringing the
Horsepower treaty up for ratifica-
ton first.
In order that the full scope and
intent Of the four-power agree
ment might be understood. Mr.
Lodge put into the senate record
today a copy of note sent bv the
four signatory powers to Portugal
and The Netherlands. declaring
that the insular possessions of
these two nations in the Pacific
would be respected in the same
manner as those of the signatories
which are to be respected under
the treaty provisions.
No Vote Taken.
Although it completed reading
the naval limitations and subma-
rine treaties at today's meeting.
the foreign relations committee did
not take a vote regarding approval
of either. 1t was indicated that
committee endorsement of none of
the other treaties would be asked
until the members were ready TO
act on the Horsepower pact and
that the whole group might then
be reported to the senate on the
same day.

effective helpfulness to the service
men.
I'VE have no serious problem in
beginning the allotments Of public
lands and the immediate issue OF
paid up insurance. The real diff
ticulty lies in the payment of the
cash bonus. Rather than provide
that the maximum cash payments
shall extend over a period of two
and one-half years, 1t would be a
vastly better bestowal If we could
await the day when we may safely
undertake to pay at once in full, so
that the award may be turned to
real advantage.
"Inasmuch as the treasury is to
be called upon to meet more than
.S6, 900, 100000 OF maturing obliga-
tons in the sixteen months imme-
.diately before us, it Is not possible
to recommend the issue OF several
hundred millions of additional
short time notes. Further excess
i've borrowings would likely undo all
that has been accomplished in re-
adjusting interest rates and stabil-
izing the financial world, both vital
ly essential to the resumption of
industrial and commercial actiVi-
ties.
Offers Substitute.
Granting that it is not fair to
oppose any proposed plan without
offering a substitute, let me repeat
that / believe the American people
will accept the levy of a general
sales tax to meet the proposed boz
mus payments, and we should con-
tribute thereby no added difficult
ties to the problems of readjust-
ment. If congress will not adopt
such a plan, it would be wise to
let the legislation go over until
there is a situation which will
justify the large outlay. We are
driving for large economies, we are
pushing the disposition of surplus
war property and have other trans
actions under consideration which
ought to prove a great relief to the
federal treasury. 1t is not consis-
tent to enact legislation in antici-
patton of these things, but it would
be a prudent plan to await the de-
yelopments and l can see in such
Ia postponement no lack Of regard
for the service men in all whom
the American people are genuinely
interested.
Restoration of Business.
II take it that the ex-service men
themselves are not less concerned
than others about the restoration
Of business and the return to abund-
ant employment. Those of their
wounded or sick comrades who
were impaired by their war service.
are being cared for with the most
liberal generosity the nation can
bestow. There are here and there
exceptional cases of neglect and
attending complaint, but we are
seeking them out and correcting
with all possible speed. 1t has not
been possible to meet all the de-
mands for special hospitalization
and rehabilitation. These things
are created to reassure you that
such delay as will enable congress
to act in prudence for the common
good will have no suggestion of
unmindfulness."
