Dental nomination, upheld the pos'-

party, Il stand directly opposite to
the views Of Governor Alfred +.

his leading opponent in the 1928
convention.

asserted. there is no possibility of

Repeal Illegal
A repeal Of the Nolstead act by
congress would be Illegal, he con
tended. Likewise, he said, repeal OF

CHANGE APPROVED
IN BORLAND LAW
Senate Passes House Meas
ure Ending Assessment
for Repaving.

Eight District of Columbia bills
most important of which was the
change in the Borland law to relieve
property owners from assessment for
the replacement of a street If they
have been assessed for the original
pavement, went through the Senate
last night.
The other local measures approved
are a bill undermining the life insur-
ance code of the District; to authorize
the widening of Nichols avenue, in
Anacostia; two measures for the con-
servation of black bass: two bills de-
signed to limit the commissions of
persons serving as guardians for men,
tai. incompetents, and a bill to permit
certain -profit-making societies
that are Incorporated under District
laws to hold meetings elsewhere from
time to time.
The modification of the Borland act
passed the House at the last session
and is therefore ready for the Presi-
dents signature. While the measure
does not go as far as the organized
citizens of the District have advo-
Gated, nevertheless it is the first let
up by Congress in the provisions of a
law that has been objected to by the
people of Washington since it's enact.

The intent to make a profit must

account of the replacement of such

The civic and trade bodies of the
District have fought for years to have
the Borland law repealed in its en-
tirety, contending that it is unjust and
inequitable to saddle half the cost of
paving street on the abutting
property owners when automobiles
from all parts of the District use 1t
and wear it out.

that the modification bill might die

The bill establishing a code for the

FIRE THREATENS
NAVY YARD AREA
Blaze Starts in Abandoned
Warehouse, But Is Subdued
in Short Space.

Fire which swept an old abandoned
warehouse caused a furry of appre-
hension at the navy yard last night
and then was Snuffed out almost as
quickly as it began. Thick clouds of
smoke covered the neighborhood and
a crowd of more than 1000 gathered
at the scene. Navy yard and city fire
men eXtinguished the blaze in less
than an hour. Damage was slight.
Cause of the fire was unknown to-
day, but it was believed a match or
cigarette carelessly dropped on the
upper floor ignited waste and timber
wood. A quantity of old lumber was
stored in the building.
Marine Spots Flames.
A marine saw flames shooting from
a second-story window shortly after
$50. BY the time the navy yard fire
lighting apparatus arrived at the
scene the flames were shooting through
the windows and high into the air.
The firemen turned in a city alarm
Because of the high wind three alarms
were turned in. More than 80 pieces
of apparatus responded.
Crowds gathered quickly and an
armed force of more than 100
Marines was ordered to keep the
spectators out of the reservation.
For a time ii was feared the flames
might spread to nearby buildings
and there was some danger of build
ings containing explosives being
ignited. A mine building and four
small shacks where ammunition is
loaded were within 100 yards of the
blaze, but out of the path of sparks
scattered by the wind.
Building Was Abandoned.
After the arrival of the third de-
tachment of District f1remen the fire
was brought under control and it
was eXtinguished before $50.
The building, which is near the
Eleventh and n streets entrance, was
formerly the supply department
storage warehouse and was con-
demned and abandoned about three
years ago 1t was of brick and wood
construction The fire destroyed
most of the wooden part and licked
up the contents of the second floor
which were valueless. The first floor
contained lumber and some old guns
of little value and these were un-
touched by the flames

CHAPMAN IGNORED IN PRISON REPORT
Name Not Mentioned in State-
 ment to Assembly

Hartford, Feb. 1 LP - Gerald Chapman, who was hanged for the murder of New Britain police man at the state prison in Weth- ersfield last April. is not mentioned by name in the annual report of the state prison directors sent to the general assembly today. The transfer of Chapman from Atlanta penitentiary to Wethersfeld is rec orded as one of the prisoners transferred. His death is covered as "one execution"
 Rev. NJ. ?. Barry, prison chap lain. in his report made no men, tion of Chapman by name. Wheth- CT Chapman accepted spiritual con- solation in his last hours has never been known. Father Barry in the report said:
 There was one execution during the period. It was our privilege to render spiritual consolation to this man., to be with him during his last moments, and to accompany him to the execution chamber
 Father Barry went to the death cell several hours before the exc cution time and remained there throughout the evening. Chapman as boy had served on the altar at the church in New York of which his parents were communi- cants. During his months in prison he never asked for priest but al ways was pleased to have Father Barry visit him. The conversation never was upon religious matters
 Father Barry followed Chapman into the death chamber, and no crucifix was in view. The priest stood few feet away and his eyes never left Chapman's face until after the cap and moose had been adjusted Chapman's eyes never re- turned recognition of the priests presence.
 After Chapman's death Father Barry refused, as he had before, to speak of his relations with Chap man

 During the fighting, Princess Tar hata passed back and forth to where the rebels were intrenched. Fear of harming her and thereby arous- ing the whole Moro country caused the constabulary to delay the at tack.
 When it was learned that she had disappeared the constabulary soon quelled the uprising and started out in pursuit of the survivors. It was believed Tarhata has joined Tahil in an attempt to lead the native war riors to safety.
