Chateau FrOntenaC Is Partially

Quebec, Jan. 15 P --- Fire which started yesterday afternoon at 5:So o'clock in the old eastern wing of the picturesque hotel Chateau E'rontcnac overlooking the St. Law renee river, destroyed the wing and smoke and water did consider able amaze to other parts of the building.
 Five firemen were injured by falling walls and one guest, traveling man named Boyd, suffer- ed partial asphyXiation. None Of the other 800 guests of the hotel was injured, having been warned in time to seek places of safety. A large number of the guests, how ever, were made homeless because of damage to their quarters by Wa fer or smoke and tho Canadian Pacific railway which owns the hotel, rushed 9 sleeping cars to Quebec to accommodate them last night. The loss 10 the building IS estimated at $2.000,000.
 The blaze started in one of the towers of the eastern wing of the chateau, which, although more than 50 years old, has the reputa- ton of being one of the most hand some and luxurious hostelries in the world. Much dignity is lent the big pile by it's castled walls, main ly of light red brick, it's copper roofs and medieval courtyard. The

But the rank and file of miners would go to work lo' morrow if they could. Their greatest handicap now, although they little realize it and never would admit 1t, is that they arc controlled by lead CTS who themselves are not practical miners and who seem from a dis tance to be feathering their own nests.
 The check off system, admitted as something which would prove a serious boomerang to the mine worker, is not expected nor desired by the individual, but demanded by the leaders.
 A Herald representative who made tour of the anthracite fields last August was told by many mine workers that the men were willing to remain at work under their old contract, and that they insisted only upon some form of contract,
 So little understood in the situa- ton among many people that one woman, wife and daughter of miners most emphatically denounced the operators to a Herald man, because she understood that it was the op- orators and not the miners who ever then had refused arbitration.
 Ahsentee ownership on one sidf and radicalism and ambitious lead CTS on the other side have brough on a deadlock which looks now a though it meant, either the ruiI of the anthracite markets or the complete overthrow of the unitct Mine Workers of Of,America-

But even this would not be the worst. Mine mules, many of which have not seen the daylight their lives, would be brought to the surface and some one would be required to feed them. Who, nobody knows, since stable men are also maintenance men.
 The calling out of the firemen and engineers would close the slopes and shafts so that there would be no travel back and forth into the breasts and gangways far below the surface. The fire boss" would be unable to go down and gas pockets would accumulate in unexpected places with a danger to miners, la borers, driver boys. door boys. etc when work is resumed.
 The inside foreman, who is the mine superintendent, and the mine inspector, elected by votes of the people, would be unable to mako their rounds of the underground workings. Rising waters, washing out railway tracks, tearing dowr heavy doors,s overturning small rail way cars or wagons" flooding the bottoms of shafts, might eventually rise to the breasts, and props, sup, ports and crihbings would in tim' give way before the floods.

ard time, were explained here as
standing for RDG, the call letters of a
Russian wireless station at. Sredne
Kolymsk, Siberia.
The message, it was suspected here,
might be a ruse Of Road Amundsen
who arrived at Teller Thursday night
in the dirigible Norge after passing
over the North Pole.
one fact advanced by those who
took this view Of the message was
that while 1t appeared garbled ana
contained blanks, 1t yet spoke OF a
gale, though Government reports mad
Indicated no bad weather in the vlcin-
ity of Nome or Teller, which are on
Seward Peninsula across the Boring
Sea from Siberia.
The Norge, when she disappeared
from communication with the world
after reaching Point Barrow. northern
tin of Alaska, Wednesday night. was
heard calling that same station in
Siberia.
All this, students of Amundsen's
history, a long and brilliant one in
exploration, discovery and publicity,
were inclined to regard as a new
trick of his.
The Associated Press received the
message from Cordova today. 1t was
also received here by Lieut.. Comdr.

ROME, May 15.-Joyous enthusi-
asm akin to Americas first celebra-
ton Of the armistice greeted the As
ISOLATED Press bulletin today which
announced that the Amundsen- Ellis
worth Mobile dirigibe Norge was in
communication with Nome, Alaska
after a silence of two days.
The word quickly spread over the
city and many impromptu parades
were held. A group of Italian avi-
ators, who happened to be passing
one crowd. were swept off their feet
and carried on the shoulders of the
excited, happy celebrants.
The Norge's feat was hailed as "a
Roman victory by newspa pers, which
issued special editions.
Despite the worry of the last two
days. the Romans never really doubt
ed at any time that the Norge would
arrive safely after its trip over the
top Of the world. Although a cease
less vigil was kept for news of the
position TO accept any but an optimis-
tic viewpoint.
Quickly following the Associated
Press bulletin was an urgent wireless
message from Col. Umberto Mobile
builder of the Norge and its com
mander on its transpolar fight, to
his wife, Mrs. Carlotta Mobile:
Arrived safely Teller. Alaska" the
message read. Mrs. Mobile burst into
tears of joy, while sympathetic
friends quickly read the remainder Of
the message to her.

Mobile said. KISSES and affectionate
greetings. Umberto."

GASOLINE TODAY AS GOOD
AS THAT SOLD IN 1920
Bureau of Mines Reports on Survey
Made in Many Cities, Involving
$50 Samples.

Gasoline being sold today is as good
as that sold six years ago and in the
intervening time, the Bureau Of Mines
announced last night, following a
special survey made in many cities
of the United States. involving total
OF about $50 samples.
Whether gasoline of the future will
have the same characteristics it has
had since 1920 will depend to a great
extent on whether it will be necessary
or desirable to have those character
1stics, A. J. Kraemer, associate petrol.
cum chemist Of the bureau said. This
question, he added, Is bound In the
topic of automotive developments.
The bureau said there Is q distinct
advantage in using a motor fuel as
heavy as the engine can utilize, IN
that the energy contest OF a heavy
fuel is in general larger per gallon
than a lighter fuel. Another factor Is
that the demand for gasoline is enor-
nous and everything which can be
made to serve as motor fuel, will,
sooner or later, have to be SO used.
when crude oil and gasoline are as
plentiful as they have been during the
past few years, there Is not the incen-
tive to the most economical utiliZa-
tion," the bureau said.
