considered the biggest piece of pri-
vate construction ever undertaken in
the District of Columbia. The Hotel
Walker Corporation was granted it's
charter in Delaware, and originally
announced that the structure would
cost in the neighborhood Of 5000, 900.
Later in 1922 this estimate was con-
siderably raised in an announcement
that stated that the plans for the
hostelry had been revised and would
include an additional story, public
rooms, club rooms, cooling plant and
other facilities.

rooms and rises to the height Of IL

CALL Law INSULT
Press of Tokyo Bitter at
United States.

TOkyO.-The newspaper Yomiuri,
Shimbun, usually one of the mildest of
Tokyo newspapers, says editorially:
Congress insulted the Japanese ma
ton in the most public manner. japan
will not hesitate to respond to the
challenge. She will remember the in
suit and take the first opportunity for
retaliation"
Japan must prepare for whatever
may come, even war, says the Yorozu
Chcho, an afternoon lingo newspaper.
It declares editorially that the action
of the American congress in passing
the exclusion legislation amounts TO a
challenge to Japan
The Kokumin demands the immedi-
ate resignation of the ministry.
Numerous public bodies, including
the Associated Chamber of Commerce
of Japan, the American-Japan society
and the Japan Economic society. have
called urgent meetings.
Officials do not deny the probability
of unpleasant popular reaction, and
it is fully expected that the opposition
will make all possible political capital
from the governments immigration
defeat. The action of congress comes
as blow in the heat of an election
campaign throughout Japan.

RunarOay Engine Kills
Four Autoists in Ohio

Chicago-Police and railroad off
Gals on Sunday began a thorough in
vestigation into the starting of Bal
timore and Ohio switch engine which
tore at high speed through three
miles of switch track here, without a
hand at the throttle, killing four per-
sons and injuring two others before
it wrecked itself at a derail
The engine, starting at the COM
pany's coal shute in the south side
switching district, soon gathered speed
of more than fifty miles an hour. The
killed and injured were the occupants
Of an automobile the engine tossed
iside at a grade crossing in its run
away path.
Otto Bowlmark, his wife Olga and
their son, Irving, 10, all were killed.
William Lindberg suffered injuries
which caused his death a few hours
later. His wife, ANNA and Hilda
Bowlmark, sister of Otto, are in a
hospital seriously injured.
While railroad officials and police
are confident the engine was deliber-
ately set in motion, they are unable
to find motive for the act The de-
rail stopped the runaway engine just
as it would have gone on to the main
passenger track OF the railroad.

CONGRESS AIDS
DISEASE FIGHT
Fund of 81, 500, 900 Voted
to Push War on Stock
Plague in West.

Washington, D. C.-By unanimous
vote the house appropriated $1,500000
to combat the outbreak of hoof and
mouth disease in California.
The appropriation, made in spe-
cial joint resolution authorizing the
secretary of agriculture to spend this
amount in fighting the disease, was in
addition to one of $1,000,000 made for
the same purpose in the recent defi-
cheney bill.
President Coolidge's telegram to
western state governors, urging them
to call conference to discuss modi-
fication of the quarantine restrictions
they have erected against the disease
in California, was made public at the
White house Saturday.
The message said that many of the
restrictions are more severe than
necessary and if enforced will result
in unnecessary hardship and loss of
millions of dollars to fruit and pros
duce growers in California.
Full cooperation of federal authors
ties in combating spread of the dis
ease was promised.
The message was sent to the gov
errors of Washington, Idaho, Nevada,
Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Montana
Colorado. New Mexico, California and
Hawaii.
A dispatch from Yuma, Arizona,
says that the Arizona foot and mouth
blockade on the Arizona-California
state line was established again on
Sunday. The disinfecting station was
shut and auto travellers again are
barred from crossing into this state
from the west.
The situation there is as it was a
week ago, when east bound automo-
biles began to pile up behind the
blockade, although reports from Knob
Siding, fourteen miles on the west Of
the Colorado river, said no new ar
rivals had registered there.

day instead of II, under decision
handed down by Judge Cliff in federal

The decision was rendered in a test
suit started by the government against
the Santa Fe railroad. One provision
of an interstate commerce commission
ruling is that railroad workers en-
gagged in transmitting messages by
wire or telephone regarding the num-
Der of trains. shall not work more than
nine hours day. The Santa Fe held
yardmasters are not in that classifca-
ton, but the government contended
otherwise
The decision will be appealed, it was
stated. Federal officials said they
would start suits against other lines.

SEVEN CHICAGO
FIREMEN KILLED
Blast Causes Four-Story
Wall to Topple on
Fire Fighters.

Chicago.-Seven fremen and an I'M
identified civilian were killed and fif-
teen others were injured, some so seri-
'ously that they may die, when a
blazing wall of a four-story stone-front
building at 1859 Blue Island avenue
collapsed.
The known dead: Capt. John Bren-
nan, Lieut.. Frank Frosch, Thomas
Kelley, Sam T. Warren, Michael De
vine, Frank Leavy, Edward Kersting
and an unidentified civilian.
The firemen killed or injured were
trapped on the fire escape Of the
structure, on ladders against it's front
or upon a water tower which had been
playing streams on the flaming roof.
The civilians injured and the I'M
identified man killed were spectators
Of the fire.
Tons Of masonry swept down upon
the fire fighters and the watchers SO
suddenly that none had opportunity to
reach safety.
Police and firemen dug frantically
in the smoldering ruins all through
the night, removing the dead and
searching for others possibly still
buried there. 1t is thought, however,
that all Of the victims have been
taken out.
From the standpoint of casualties in
the fire department 1t was the worst
disaster which has visited Chicago
since the stockyards fire in December,
1910, in which Fire Chief Jim" Koran
and twenty of his men lost their lives.
