EADERS of industry on two continents were

Men whose products carrying the made in America
abel, sail out of Seattle for ports of the seven seas
wrnkled their brows over how to get it.
OFTEN the conversations were interrupted by the
~ screeching of whistles-deep-thro blasts from
incoming departing liners, or the sharper warning
toots Of shunting locomotives.

who sat in conference at The Olympic Hotel seemed

Cigarette or Sun,
Take Your Choice,
Fires Car Platform,

AS the mercury was bubbIing over
at the peak temperature early this
afternoon the wooden car-loading
platform in front of The Star Building
on Pennsylvania avenue at Twelfth
street began to shoulder and finally
burst into flames, sending street car
patrons scurrying to safety.
Two fire engines raced to the scene
over the soft asphalt and firemen,
sprinkling the blazing platform with a
shower of perspiration and chemicals
soon succeeded in extinguishing the
confiagration. An extra supply of
perspiration was invoked by attacking
the platform with axes, apparently
with a view to cutting off it's oxygen
supply. ..---
The official report stated that the
fire resulted from a carelessiy thrown
cigarette, but there are those who
claim it was a plain case of spon-
taneous combustion, induced by Fore
caster Mitchell.

MOUNT AIRY, Md, June 5.-For
the third time in 20 years this village
Of 1000 inhabitants was swept by a
disastrous fire last night Eleven
buildings were destroyed with an es-
timated loss of 100000 The flames
consumed n fourth OF the town. in
cluding one of its two banks and both
of it's flour and grain mills, it's prin-
cipal business enterprises.
Firemen sent from Frederick Eli
colt City, kensington and Rockville
were forced by lack of water pressure
TO carry water from tanks of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. With
the temperature for the vicinity re-
ported at 102 during the afternoon,
the heat developed during the fire was
terrific. Explosion of several thousand
cartridges in a hardware store and
. ignition of two gasoline stations added
spectacular and hazardous effects.
Several heat prostrations were re-
ported, but no serious injuries were
known to have resulted directly from
the fire.
Ten years ago a $250,000 fire wiped
out a third of the town and 20 years
ago the principal section of the vii.
lage at that time was lost in $50, 600
fire.
Cause Is Undetermined.
The flrse started from an undeter.
