IN APARTMENT FIRE
Four Others Severely Injured,
One Probably Fatally, in
HagerstoWn Blaze.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


HAGERSTOWN, Md, August l.
Two persons were burned to death
and four others were severely scared,
one of them probably fatally, in a
fire which gutted an apartment house
here early today. An attempt to liven
the smoulderins Goals in the kitchen
range by pouring kerosene over them
caused the fatal blaze
The dead are Mrs. Ida V Carbaugh.
ffty-seven years old, a paralytic, and
her eighteen-year-o sister in law,
Miss Geraldine Carbaugh. The in
jured are John H. Carbaugh, husband
of the woman who lost her life; his
daughter. Mrs. Pearl Jacobs; his
brother. Kellar Carbaugh, and Miss
Katherine Jacobs. eleven years old.
The elder Mr.. Carbaugh is said to be
dying.
Uses Kerosene to Start Blaze.
Miss Carbaugh started to prepare
breakfast shortly before o'clock
this morning. To hasten the fire in
the kitchen range she started to pour
a quantity of kerosene over the Goals
Whether or not there was an explos-
ion no one knows. but before she
could even cry out she was enveloped
in flames and her body burned to a
crisp. Her charred remains were found
lying in front of the stove.
Mrs. Jacobs was the first person to
discover the flames. BY that time the
entire first floor of the house was afire
and she leaped from a second-story
window after giving the alarm Mr.
Carbaugh and his brother rushed into
Mrs. Carbaugh's room to save her. The
woman, however, confined to her bed
by paralysis. was already dead from
the flames, and the elder man was so
badly burned himself before he retired
that physicians hold out little hope for
his recovery.
Child's Clothing Ablaxe.
Before little Katherine Jacobs could
be helped out of a second-story win
dow her fiimsy night clothing became
ignited, and she. too, was painfully
scared about the body. Her mother
sustained a broken leg, besides severe
burns. Kellar Carbaugh escaped with
burns about the shoulders and face
Two other families. living on upper
floors. were assisted down ladders by
f1remen and were not injured.
While city firemen were rescuing the
trapped victims, however, the flames
gained so much headway that 1t was
impossible to save the house. It was
burned to the ground.

FEAR FOOD RIOTS.
Farmers Withhold Potatoes and
Other Supplies as Mark Falls.

By the Associated Press.
DUES ELDORF, August 1.-THE
effects of the fall of the mark are
beginning to show themselves in a
pronounced food shortage through
out the Ruhr. The farmers are re-
fusing to exchange good potatoes for
badly deprecated money and. in con-
sequence, potatoes. meat and other
staples are almost unobtainable at
any price. The farmers simply will
not bring to town anything that will
keep This is true, not only in the
Ruhr, but elsewhere in Germany.
Yesterday, for example, 4s5 car
loads of foodstuffs entered the oc-
cupied territory. but not a single
carload of potatoes was among the
shipments Both the French and the
German authorities are seeking to
reassure the growers so that po-
ia toes may be procured. but it is
recognized that there is no way of
forcing the farmers to sell.
The situation has become so acute
that an aggravation of the present
shortage. it is felt, would make food
riots not improbable.

COURT ACTION Upon
SHIP RUM SEIZURES
Government May Await Con-
gress Before Adopting
Definite Policies.

TIE government is considering seTi-
ously postponement until Congress re-
convenes of forfeiture proceedings in
court against thousands of gallons of
liquors seized from foreign vessels in
American waters.
This new twist to the old ship
liquor snarl came up today when
Treasury officials were confronted
with the problem of the Pessaquid,
british schooner. with 1,400 cases of
liquor, captured yesterday south Of
Cape Hatteras. within the three-mile
limit. by the coast guard and being
towed into Norfolk today to be turned
over to customs officials.
While no general policy had been
laid down by the Treasury in regard
to the treatment of foreign vessels in
rum smuggling. there was a plain in
timation that the government would
proceed with caution, seizing the
liquor. at least. with the possibility of
continuing fits former practice OF al

Presidents Address Consid-

BY n. o. MESSENGER.
StafY Corre~pondent Of The Star.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calf August l.
Open warfare between President
Harding and Senator Hiram Johnson
of California is said to have been de-
clared last night in the Presidents s
statement issued in lieu of the speech
he was to have made here.
There is an interesting story in con-
nection with the issuance of the state
ment. Some of the Presidents friends
and advisers yesterday counseied him
not to take issue with the Californian
at this time and in the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case. This advice
was rebutted by other members of the
party, who contended that now was
the time and place to deliver the mes
sage he had penned for the American
people on the world court.
Urged by Hoover.
1t is understood that Secretary
Hoover was mainly instrumental in
inducing the President to release his
statement for publication. 1t Is said
the President felt that Senator John
sons speech in New York on the
world court on his arrival from Eu-
rope was direct challenge which he
could not encourage and honestly
overlook.
The senator's difference with the
presidential views on the question of
the world court. of course, are well
known. Senator Johnson has aired
his opinions on the floor of ,he Senate
and in the public press. while the
President has made his views known
in an address to Congress and sub
sequent speeches on his trip from
Washington westward across the con-
tinent en- route to Alaska
But when Senator Johnson came to
New York and made his address he
accentuated his difference with Presi-
dent Harding on the subject. There
was no longer any room for doubt in
the Presidents mind that the Cali
fornian had taken up the cudgelS in
behalf of his own opinion and was
determined upon a fight to the finish
1t was probably this consideration
which led the President to overrule
the advice of those who spoke against
making his statement public at this
time. 1t was suggested to him that
the country might think because cf
his illness he was throwing down the
gauntlet to an adversary who might
hesitate to pick 1t up in view of Ills
But the President determined to law
his cards on the table. 4 And the are

ALL 1923 NEGOTIATIONS
SOON MAY BE REVEALED
Premier Baldwin Expected to
Withdraw Veil of Secrecy Sur
rounding Farley With French.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. August 1.-The British
cabinet resumed its sessions today
in Downing street. with the prospect
that the proceedings would develop
into one of the most important con-
ferencos of British ministers since
the war.
The attempts to formulate a British
policy to be adopted in the reparation
settlement with Germany will be con-
tinued throughout today and tomor-
row. The ministers are expected to
remain almost continuously around
the conference table until Prime
Minister Baldwin is ready to make
his statement in the house of COM
mons tomorrow night on the status
of the reparation negotiations.
Encounters Difficulty.
1t is understood the government is
encountering the greatest difficulty
in framing a policy which will allow
single-handed action with the Ger
mans and at the same time insure
the continuance of the entente with
the French and the Belgians. If
Great Britain decides to act alone,
full publication of all the recent ne
gotiations may be expected imme-
diately.
The recent expectation that Prime
Minister Baldwin's statement in the
house of commons on Thursday with
respect to the negotiations with the
allies would hardly be very informa-
tive has now yielded to a belief that
tion fully. Withdrawing the veil of
diplomatic secrecy which hitherto
has kept every one guessing.
See Separate Move.
The government is credited with
the hope that it will be possible to
publish before Thursday the whole
correspondence between Britain and
her allies since June, but the docu-
ments are so numerous and so
lengthy that it is now feared the
time will not suffice for their ar
rangement. printing and circulation
in parliament.
If this cannot be done Mr.. Bald
win, according to political writers.
will take parliament and the public
into his confidence and will give a
NerUdl outline Vi WHAT the printed
correspondence would disclose. This
reported decision is taken to indicate
that the government is convinced
nothing can be gained by further
negotiations, and that it must now
take a fresh course.
The present supposition is that the
government will decide to seek an
immediate separate settlement with
Germany.
Opinions differ as to whether Italy
would associate herself with Great
Britain in such a move or whether
she would act Independently. The
prevalent view here is that the
Italian attitude in the main is iden-
tical with that Of the Brish.
