HUGHES HAS TEXT
 OF FRENCH NOTE
But No Official Comment on
 Debt Is Made

Washington. Jan. 5.--The text of the informal debt funding sugges- tons of French Finance Minister Clcmentel was in hand for perusal today by Secretary Hughes, with Of ficials withholding comment as to their reaction at this stage of the matter. The document was received lat the state department last night and immediately prepared by recod- ing for the secretary's attention to- day
 Not only has there been no con- ment in appraisal of the memoran- dunn as offering'a possible ground from which the settlement, of the French war debt to the United States might be formally approached, but no commitment in any degree was looked for pending its consideration by the American debt funding au- thority.
 Secretary Mellon, as chairman of the debt funding commission and charged with the conduct of debt funding negotiations with foreign governments, undoubtedly will re- .ceive the memorandum without de- lay from Secretary Hughes. who also is member of the commission. A meeting of the commission prob ably will be called hy Secretary Mel lon early in the week 10 appraise the value of the suggestions submitted
 Despite the entirely informal and unofficial character of the memoran- dum which still leaves the matter to be advanced 10 even the first stage of formal negotiations between the two governments administration authorities hero hoped that 1t would he found to hold enough of satis- factory elements 10 justify the open ing ot formal discussions

 OCCURS IN BOSTON

Boston, Jan. 5.--District Attorney Thomas C. o'Brien and the. grand jury of Suffolk county today will be- gin an investigation of the circum- stances of the fire which yesterday trapped q score of helpless persons in the Scobey private hospital on Beacon street near the Brookline town line.
 Bremen and flames fought a heart-rending race to each of the rooms where patients, several of them scarcely out of the ether of their operations, lay in helpless sus- pense.
 The fremen won in every case but one. Miss Elizabeth Jenkins, 24, died in her room on the fourth floor. She had suffocated before the flames reached her. physicians said.
 Starting in way that has not definitely been determined, the flames first appeared in loose papers blltu dL Illt luOL Ol q tnl lcllilhp three which was being dismantled, The woman who discovered 1t tried vainly to smother 1t with a rug be- fore sounding the alarm.
 Fifteen minutes later the circular staircase, the sole avenue of escape was roaring chimney. Nurses rushed 10 the rooms and shut the doors to the blast while they assist cd the patients to the windows, Fire men raised ladders and brought them to the ground.
 They paid the toll.
 The injured:
 Nurses Helen Dwyer and Rita Gill; Hoseman William F. Coughlin and Captain John H. Leary.
 Coughln has a probably fracture of the spine from three story fall from the staircase. Captain Leary fractured his ankle. The nurses have burns which are not serious.
 Except that shock and exposure may retard their convalesccnce, physicians said that the other pa tents would not s'Iffcr.

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
 SHOWING ANXIETY
Voice Worry of British Taxpayers Over Coming Conference on
 Finances.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 London, Jan. 5.--This mornings newspapers generally voice the anS- ious hope of the British taxpayers that something will result from the impending discussions of the allied finance ministers in Paris which will lessen the burden under which they are now working.
 IL is not upon the official agenda of the conference that their interest is fixed but upon those outside con- Vcrsations respecting the war debts which Winston Churchill, the British chancellor of the eXchequer, is ex- pected to hold with the French finance Minister. M. Clementel, and others, and which it is eagerly hoped will lead 10 a reduction in the British income tax in the next budg- ct,
 The comments on the coming meeting all emphasize the sacrifices which the British public are under going in paying their own debts to America while not receiving pen nyworth of interest from their European debtors, and some of the papers express earnest hope that any Sentimental generosity" the British government may be entertaining re- garding the debt problem will be ex- erted in behalf of its own people.
 The cabinet is meeting today to take final decisions respecting Mr.. C'hurchlis mission 10 Paris. The chancellor will leave for Paris to- morrow, accompanied by Sir Otto Niemcycr, controller of finance in the British treasury department, who will act as his technical adviser.
