TWO-ALARM FIRE

Two Firemen Injured in ST.
500 Blaze at Pie
Factory.

A two alarm fire at the garage of
the ConnecticutC Copperthwite Pie Co.,
1859 o street, early yesterday after
noon caused approximately $500
damage, destroying portion of the
two-story brick structure, three auto
mobiles and 1000 pie plates, and re-
sulting in the injury of two firemen.
Five other automobiles would also
have been food for the flames had not
Nick DanZie, employe of the COM

Of the blazing garage. When he went
back to get the sixth the place had
become too hot for safety.
Fireman Paul Banagan, "a years
old, of 500 Seventh street southwest,
attached to No. 20 Engine Co., was
overcome by smoke; he was revived at
Emergency Hospital and went home
last night. Fireman J. 3. Klein, who
was on a ladder under Banagan
saved him from fall when he be-
came dizzy from the smoke.I Fireman
j. T. Elliott was caught in cross
streams from the hose and narrowly
escaped serious injury to his eyes.
He was not seriously hurt, although
the force of the water nearly knocked
him unconscious.
Twelve-year-old Herbert Knight Of

covered the blaze and turned in the
alarm. Such headway had been
gained by the rapidly spreading fire
that a, second alarm was sounded
upon the arrival of the fire companies
to check the menace to adjacent struc-

"PUSSYFOOT" JOHNSON

After $50 Speeches, He Is Planning

He expects to leave July l with his

Since January / Johnson has made

sustained when he was bowled over
in Canistoe, N. Y, by an automobile
while crossing a street.
In 90 per cent of the States he
visited, Johnson said, "the prohibition
law is as well or better enforced than
any other law. 1t is better enforced
even in Chicago than the law against
murder. OF course, there is a lot
Of caterwauling around New York and
Baltimore. New York and Maryland
ratified the eighteenth amendment,
then crawled under the bed. They
did not make good on their ante.
"Forty-six States won't repeal the
eighteenth amendment to accommo-
date two other States,' he said. New
York and Maryland never enforced
any licensing laws they ever had and
they are not enforcing prohibition
laws. Until they become civilized
they won't enforce any law whatever

POVERTY BLAMED
FOR TWO SUICIDES
Actress and Chorus Man Find
SurceaSe From Sorrow
Along Broadway.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 19.-The waning
gaiety along Broadway that marks
the closing of the. theatrical season
was checked still further today by
the tale of two persons, a man and
a woman, who had trod the boards of
the bright-light district, who had
sought surcease from sorrow and
poverty in death.
The woman was Ann Austin, an
actress and former wife of a Charles
ton, w. Va, lawyer. She took poison
after weeks of unemployment, leaving
note blaming her act upon "a man
named Emil"
The man was Alexander Niejen,
former officer in the Russian army
and last Winter a Broadway chorus
man. He chose drowning as a means
Of escape from the worries of life.
Miss Austin, twice married, despite
her 80 years, telephoned the superin-
tendent of her apartment house last
night that 1--WE taken poison and I'm
dying, but I don't want to be dis
turbed." She fought doctors who
tried to save her life, and several
hours later she died. Earlier she had
failed in an attempt to commit suicide
by gas.
Niejen disappeared from the chorus
in which he had a job last April.
Last night a body was found floating
in the Hudson, and today Niejen's
brother identified it. Police attributed
the suicide to the soIdier-dancer's
worry over financial inability to bring
his wife and children to this country.
Some also expressed the belief that
he had been depressed by having to
wear the costume of a bolshevik in
the play, the revolution having been
the cause of his departure from Rus
sia and the separation from his
family

CLOSING ARGUMENTS
HEARD IN LEASE CASE
Government Seeking to Cancel
999-Year Right of Officer
to Reservation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, June 49,
Both the defense and the United
States Government were heard today
in the closing arguments in the Gov
ernment'S suit to cancel the 999-year
lease obtained by Lieut. Comdr. Virgil
Baker on San Geronimo Reservation.
Counsel for COmdr. Baker declared
one of the chief questions was
whether Theodore Roosevelt. jr.. as
Assistant Secretary of the Navy. was
within the law when he executed the
lease. He added 80 per cent of the
Governments evidence was inmate
rial and irrevelant
Maj. j. a. Smith. the Government
counsel, argued that overwhelming
evidence of gross fraud and misrepre-
sentation on the part of Baker had
been shown, sufficient to cancel the
lease.
Supreme Court Judge Del Toro in
structed both sides to file briefs with
in 20 days. The trial began May 10,
and is the longest in local court his

the record and more than 400 docu-

NELLO ON AND BRITISH ECONOMIST
FARM BILL STORM CENTERS
Both Drawn Into Controversy Through Statements
Written at Request--Sir Joseph Stamp Had No
Intention of Meddling in u. S.

five years ago and projected into pub
lie life. He had his misgivings at the
time but has learned to love Wash
ington. Perhaps the Secretary has
been tempted. too, to dabble a little
in the possibilities of political leader
ship. Perhaps after some of the cpl
Sodes connected with the recent
Pennsylvania fight in the G. o. p, he
wishes, like Sir Josiah, that he had
never been drawn into the thing.
Both men were led innocently
enough into the agricultural squabble.
Sir Josiah says he was visiting Vice
President Dawes when he heard his
first discussion of American farm re-
lief. The conversation turned upon
equalization fees and their economic
soundness, if any. Sir Josiah gave a
very interesting opinion on the sub
ject. He was asked to put 1t in writ
ing. This he did. Then suddenly his
opinion was read to the Senate by
Senator Watson as part of a state
ment from the Vice President, who
had broken all tradition by projecting
himself squarely into a fight on the
Senate floor Sir Josiah was used
thereafter quite steadily by the pro-
ponentS of the McNary -Haugen style
VI uilSCl IdI IGllSI. Tie Was ub-
nounced roundly by the opponents of
these measures, who wanted to know
what foreigner was doing mixing in
an American affair. Sir Josiah now
joins in their queries. He had no in
tention of getting mixed up.
MIR. Mellon, just as innocently. per-
haps more so, answered a harmless
series of letters addressed to him ask
ing his views of the Haugen Dlan
The Secretary painstakingly ripped
the plan to pieces, on the basis Of his
own logic and called down maledic-
tions upon his gray but erect head.
President Coolidge, the original oppo-
nent of anything snacking of the
Haugen plan, has been all but lost in
the shuttle, which no doubt has caused
a dry little smile to play about the
features of an otherwise stern Chief
Executive.

BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

Probably the two most amazed
men in the world today are Sir
Joseph Stamp of Great Britain and
Andrew W. Mellon of Pittsburgh.
Sir Josiah plaintively admits his
astonishment while Mr.. Mellon prob
ably still is wondering just how 1t
all happened. These two men are
about as far removed from agricul-
ture as two humans could be. One
Is a great world economist: the other
admittedly the financial genius of
his time. Yet both of them suddenly
have found themselves the storm
center of an agricultural cyclone.
According to reports from England,
Sir Josiah already has risen up to in
quire how in the name of the seven
seas he, an Engiishman who always
expects to remain an Englishman, can
be made something of a goat" in the
congressional debates on the Amer
lean farm problem. Sir Josiah has
pointed out that he abstains from
politics in his own country and has
no stomach for mixing into the po-
fitical affairs of a foreign land. Yet
he is being held up to laudation or to
scorn, according to the trend of the
speechmaking at the Capitol, and was
Just about the sole authority to be
quoted on the soundness or unsound-
ness of the radical relief program un-
til Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the
Treasury, stepped into the picture and
relieved the Britisher of some of the
burden which was being heaped upon
him.
Up to this point Mr. Mellon had been
just about as innocent a bystander as
Sir Josiah Stamp, although the latter
was playing the leading heavy role.
Now, Mr.. Mellon has become the vii
lain. 1t appears that he will have
to answer the charge of who killed
Cock Robin?" when the last of the
farm bills are laid away for the ses-
sion. Like Sir Josiah. Mr.. Mellon has
never regarded himself as a politician.
He was yanked out of his counting
house in Pittsburgh q little more than
