not damaged by fire and water.
The fire. which broke out about
2:30 O'Clock this afternoon. is now
believed to have originated from blow
torches of workmen. 1t was first dis
covered in the west wing of the main
building, and rapidly spread over the
entire wing, a building about $50
yards long.
About $50 male patients were housed
in this wing. The TRUSTEES" were
allowed to remain on the grounds.
while the more violent were marched
into a nearby stockade. The. female
patients in the east wing were taken
some distance from the fire. to a
wooded spot, where they were kept
under the care of nurses.
Firemen at first were hampered by
an insufficiency of water.
The building was valued at 1880
O00 it was stated today at the Budget
Bureau. while the insurance carried is
just half that amount.
The building burned was erected in
1849. 1t was originally constructed
as an insane asylum, and was the
first asylum TO be built in the South,
according to Capt. S. A. Ashe, con-
sidered an authority on State and

1dent of the District Federation. when
asked how he felt toward such n prop
oSitinn. declared that ii was the ra-
tional thing to do.
Question Previously Raised.
Mr.. Suter explained that several
years ago. when some Maryland or
ganization applied for admission to
the local federation. a special commit
Tee had been appointed to consider
the matter and ascertain Just how a
body ont side the District could be ad-
mitted lie could not recall that the
committee had ever taken any action
or had made a report. However. he
pointed out that the situation had
changed materially in the past few
Years. With the Capital City expand

Air Suter said many of the prob

becoming the problems of the people

believed there was firm ground on
which the two orga nization could CO.
operate on many of the big questions
confronting them for their mutual
benefit.
The matter of accepting and seat
inc the delegates would have to be
worked out. he said. and he indicated
that the problem would to taken up if
the Montgomery County federation
b"oached the question to II officially.
He was inclined TO favor the idea
suggested. that each federation send
q specified number of delegates to the
oth"r to sit in the proceedings. and
take part in the discussions, without.
however. power of Voting-Sort of

the other organization and the two
could work hand in hand in bringing
"hnut the greatest and best develop
ment Of the National Capital in ac-
c"rdance with general scheme.
The scheme, he said. would provide
machinery for co-ordinating the efforts
OF the TWO areas along mutual lines.
and could not but work to the best in
te"ests of both. Already. he pointed
out. the Maryland district is repre-.
scented on the city and park planning
committee of the National CAPITA /
park commission, and the fnterchance
OF delegates To the two associations
would be another mutual interlockine
OF civic interests.
IT is not suggested that the two or
Eanizations approach anything like \
merger because of diverging interests
e'ong purely local lines. hut there are
sufficient problems confronting the
metropolitan area of Washington
where coordination of interests at
times would prove highly effective.

"HOmes" Mostly Empty.
One publicist states that the Rus

600 paid for general education and

figure is hardly believable. as dozens
of these so-called homes which have
visited were empty of children except
a few for girls and boys of from to
years. However they all had EN-
ployes. The children will not remain
in them long and are not compelled
to do so.
Sporadically the police chase the

Local writer's on the subject cite

does the republic. However, it is the
