DAMAGED. /
BY WATER
Blaze Started in Roof Of
Building Gives Firemen
Three Hours Tussle.
ORIGIN is UNKNOWN
Fighters Efforts Prevent
Flames From Spreading
to Warehouse Interior.

Fire Of undetermined origin,
which caused loss Of approximate
ly $4,000, most Of which is water
damage to stock, was discovered
shortly after 8 o'clock this morning
in the Valley Wholesale Grocery
Company's building on Commercial
street.
An alarm from box II brought the
fire department to the scene and for
the next three hours the firemen
were busy fighting the blaze.
The fire had its origin on the roof
of the building, and for, this reason
il was unusually difficult TO reach.
The entire building is built of brick
and concrete, with a roof made of,
the latter material. A false room
placed foot or more above the con
crete roof, was constructed I Of
wood. Between the two roofs was
several inches of sawdust, which be-
came gnited and added to the diff
culties of the firemen.
Blames Lighted Fag
According to w. 4. Graham, man
agcr of the company, AN outside
switch cuts off all power during the
night, and he expressed doubt that
defective wiring had caused the fire.
|. A. Thomas, who constructed the
building, was inclined to the belief
that lighted cigarette dropped on
the wooden part, of the roof, might
have started the blaze.
The building is two stories high,
with deep basement. Water
poured on the roof leaked down
throught the two upper floors and
ruined nearly $4,000 worth of per
ishable stock stored mostly in car
tons. This morning there was sew
eral inches of water on the first
and second floors, which kept the
entire company force busy with
brooms, sweeping out the water.
The flames menaced sthe main
building, Though Itwo ventilators
leading to the business office, but
fircmen stationed on the inside Of
the building stopped the fire from
spreading. ~
A cooling system, the apparatus
for which waS located ON the roof
was completely ruined. = This was
installed about five years ago and
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Aids Fight With Flames
Manager Graham was summoned
TO the scene5 shDrtlysafter the fire
men arrived and aided in directing
them in fighting the fire. Entry to
the roof Is made fromatbe inside Of
the building through a small scuttle
hole and this made it necessary to
fight the fire mostly from the out
side. The concrete roof, according
to Graham, was all that saved the
entire stock from being DESTROYED

DRY CAR WIELDS
AK TODAY STARTS
TO REDUCE FORCES

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-Wield-
ing the axe of dismissal, General
Lincoln C. Andrews, field marshal
of the federal prohibition forces,
today began to reduce his dry army
by about 600.
Lack of funds will result in the
"lopping off'' of heads of many
prohibition agents. Wedding out of
least efficient Officers and surplus
sleuths will be simultaneous all over
the country.
Administrators with blanket ord
ers to hire as many agents as they
deemed necessary to enforce the
law took advantage of the privilege.
Comptroller Warning
Almost overnight the number of
prohibition agents increased from
2000 to 5000.
The first bareback came when
Comptroller General McCarl warned
Andrews that the prohibition unit
was exceeding its congressional ap-
preparation. In less than six months,
enforcement of the Volstead act
cost more than $5,5OO,OOO. To bal
ance the fiscal appropriation Of
$11 100000 and prevent dry enforce
ment from piling up deficit, the
cut in personnel was necessary.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 81. - A

DOUBLE CHARGES
LOOM FOR THOSE
WITHOUT PLATES

Will II. Marsh, chief of the divi-
sion of motor vehicles, today issued
final call to all California motor
lists to make application for their
1926 license plates at once. The
call should be needed in Ell Centre
and other parts of Imperial Valley,
according to Captain Willahan of
the county traffic squad.
Car owners who have not made
application for their licenses before
Saturday, will have to pay double
after that date, so that it is a real
money saving opportunity that is
offered to car owners.
Marsh has ruled that letters con-
tanning application for licenses,
which bear a post mark prior to
midnight of Saturday, will be hon
ored, but applications made after
that time will be considered delin-
quent and the double payment will
be demanded. White certificates,
accompanied by the necessary fee,
should be mailed to Sacramento.
There are many car owners in I'M
perial Valley who have not yet
made application for their licenses,
Willahan said today, and unless
there is considerable activity in this
connection within the next three
days, plenty of car owners are go
ing to be stuck for double fee.

commander Of this district Of Wash.

Decline to Comment
7 After submitting his resignation
Mitchell continued to refuse ta COM
ment on his case, and Representa-,
tive Reid, Illinois, who represented
Mitchell at the court martial, alsa
