THREE ALARMS SOUNDED

Fire in the Glover building, 1419 F
street, early today swept through
the six floors OF that structure, caus-
ing thousands of dollars Of damage,
and for time threatened other struc-
lures in the block, which contains
keith's Theater and many large build
ings. Three alarms were sounded in
quick succession.
Prompt work of the fire department,
which answered the call with eleven
engine companies and three trucks,
prevented its spread. No one was
injured.
The blaze was a spectacular one,
and awakened guests in the Willard
and Washington hotels, just opposite,
who stood at the windows and watch
ed the progress Of the firenghters who
found 1t necessary to hoist the big
extension ladders to the top floor, where
It was at first believed the fire was.
Despite the early hour at which the
blaze broke out hundreds Of people
lined the streets.
Pnsserby Discovers Fire.
William S. Sideman. while passing
along F street. observed smoke pour
ing from tho windows in the sixth
floor OF the building and sent in the
first alarm at lis o'clock. Deputy
Fire Chief Nicholson answered the
call with the first companies, and i'm
mediately ordered a second alarm
sounded, when he saw the blaze was
likely to assume serious proportions
and possibly spread quickly to other
buildings. Tho second alarm COM
panies had not all reached the scene
when the third alarm was ordered,
bringing companies from the south
west and Georgetown.
Firemen attempting to enter the
building from the first floor were
blocked by the dense smoke, and
when the door OF the store of the
Frank ]. Heiberger & Sons, Inc.
tailors, occupying the first floor. was
broken in It created q draft which
seemed to fan the blaze to greater
fury. Another blaze was discovered
In the rear OF this store and in the
cellar and several hose lines were d.
rected there.
Originated In Cellar.
The water tower, which answered
on the second alarm, was set in
place. ready for use. but it was not
found necessary to use it, the seat
OF the blaze having been discovered
later in the cellar. giving rise to the
belief that It had started from tba

RnPid Progress on Report.
The traffic committee held several

made rapid progress in the prepara-
ton OF its report. Another session
Will be held early this week.
The committee has concentrated
on strictly safety regulations. such
as speed, right-of-way. headlights
and signals Those rules that bear
directly on the protection of life and
property are being improved upon
In every possible manner, so that
they will be clear and concise.
Inspector Albert J. Headley, chief
OF the traffic bureau, announced last
night that the tagging of out-ot-
town cars will not be started unti,
March 20, for the reason that the
metal plates have not arrived.
All motorists operating with for
efgn tags and who are entitled to
remain here for stated periods of

traffic bureau on that date.
The new tags will be issued with
out cost TO non-residents. They will
bear the one word Registered" to

been to the traffic bureau.
Date to BE STAMPED.
When the tag is given the visitor
at the traffic bureau the date on
which his period of reciprocity ex-
pires will be stamped upon it,
This Will prevent persons from
operating here indefinitely on for.

trict Of revenue. Any policeman will

CRAWFORDVILLE. Fla, March 10.
-Wakulla county officials tonight
contemplated the strange turn in the
smuggling operations Of this section
of the West Florida coast. A ten
mile expanse OF beach bore, the
graves of three strangers whose bod
ies had hoated ashore at widely sep
arated points. Two men. escaped
prisoners from Appalachicola, near
here, were held in the local jail with
additional charges against them Of
robbing the dead bodies.
The authorities concerned in the
death of the three men were divided
between two leads, both of which
were connected with the alien snug
Cling operations which. they say. are
piled extensively between these
shores and Cuba Ono conclusion
was that tho men were agents of the
smuggling trade, who lost their lives
in fight over spoils: the other was
that they were unfortunate patrons
of trade-aliens. whose attempt to
reach this country had resulted in
their death. Both deductions were
equally borne out by the evidence in
hand There was no trace Of a pos
sible shipwreck.
Brought In by Storm.
The bodies, apparently those of
Italians, evidently floated in with the
storm waters OF Tuesday night. They
were found Thursday and Friday,
partly covered with brushwood. Two
to be brothers, while one
had papers giving the name Russo
F'ranasco Fuangles, 1127 Townsend
street, Chicago. Tho investigation of
their death from either Of the two
angles studied, according to County
Judge Mcleod, leads back to the
several days ago Of twenty
four aliens, Italians and Portuguese,
whose entry into this country was
shortly after they landed.
Against the belief that they were
members of this band stacks the
manner of their dress. All wore suits
made of expensive broadcloth ma
terial. An expensive watch was found
on one, while all had cash, ranging
from $26 to $50. Their shoes were
OF the American Army type. The
aliens. who were taken in the round
up. wore ordinary custom-made
clothing. This and the fact that one
mans skull had been fractured and
the others bore bruises. leads to the
opinion that they may have been
agents who handled the contraband
cargo and after dumping the foreign
ers on American shores were lost on
the return trip to Cuba.
Obviously, officials say, they were
not members Of a crew. Papers con-
tanning several names and addresses
were found on tho two bodies. with
