Senator Rorah said he would again. at that time. ask for vote on how the committee would recommend the treaty to the senate and he is honeful that action will he taken at that time.
 Secretary Kellogg in his two ap- pearnces before the committee pre- sented all the correspondence of the world powers leading up to the final negotiation of the treaty which was signed with cerem onies at Paris la st summer. The additional correspon- detnce requested by Senator Reed were those letters written by the world powers at the time they for mally transmitted their adherence to the pact.
 Even after the treaty gets before the senate. however. little hope for early consideration of it there is held out by leaders. After the dis position of the Boulder Dam bill. the senate has other measures on the preferred status list and an at tempt is expected to be made to put het administrations cruiser con- struction bill ahead of the treaty.

 For three of the members have definite bills, dealing with problems beside those of their home states, which they plan to bring to the at tention of their co-legislators, and the fourth is interested in many things. but won't say definitely wha. proposals she will make.
 Not one of the matters in which the women are interested and on which they are working with a view to getting legislation Is in the "wom- ans legislation" class.
 Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, of Massachusetts. who has just been reelected to the seventy-fi first con- gress by a 10000 majority. is very much concerned with the tariff question and all matters pertaining to foreign trade. She is working on one or two bills providing increased schedules on cotton. woolens. boots. hides and textiles, and also higher tariff on finished garments.

 One fireman was taken to hos p..al with an injury to his eyes caused by liquid soap. Nearly a score of firemen received similar in- juries not 50 serious.
 The fire start in the top story of the tower. swept downward into an adjoining three story building. The firemen were hampered by tons of liquid soap which were let loose and which formed huge clouds of suds when water was directed on the blazing tower.
 Three hundred employees were forced to leave the building when the fire broke out.
 The cause of the fire was not determined. Bremen learned that nearly a week ago reports were made by several employees that they smelled smoke somewhere in the plant. It was thought the fire smoldered in the top of the tower until it broke out today. A torrent of liquid soap was re- leased from containers in the tower and poured do through other parts of the factory hampering ire men. Thirteen hundred employees who were reporting for the day shift were temporarily put out of work.
 Help was summoned from Somer- vile. Bremen said the fire probably had been in progress several hours before 1t was discovered. The tower. . wooden structure, was virtually new.
