The Western Union office, on
the first floor of the bank building
was a total loss. Temporary of

Western Union in a railroad ware
house. Underwood typewriter of

joining were destroyed, while the
Charters hardware store sustain
ed heavy loss from smoke and wa

caved in the rear of the store.
Firemen kept a dozen streams
of water on the building. A strong
west wind for a time threatened
a large number of structures,
while sections of the bank build
ing walls remained standing to
firemen and special police
called to handle the thousands of
persons who rushed to the scene.
The Stanton bank building was
located at the corner of Central
avenue and Second street north.
The bank closed several years ago
and the building was used entirely

and considerable medical equip
ment was lost. Art objects Of the
late Charles NJ. Russell, cowboy
artist, also yer destroyed. Part
of these belonged to C. A. Bell,
RusselPs understudy. Accounts of
physicians and attorneys burned
along with hundreds of records
that cannot be replaced. No one
was seriously injured. A fireman
was cut by glass and a woman
slightly burned.
The fire was virtually extin-
guished at 1 o'clock, four hours
after it started.
Standing walls of the bank
building, with one exception, were
pulled down today to eliminate
danger of their collapse.
Among incidents of the fire
were the rescue of a dog belonging
to a pet stock store, which rode a
packing case in the flooded base
ment until today. Seven out of
the hundred canaries in the store
were found alive.
V. Paulson, ~janitor of the bank
building, was taking a bath when
the fire was discovered. He paid
no attention to the noise until
smoke began to drift through
around the door. Then he donned
a pair of overalls and ran through
the blazing halls. He was burned
but not badly. His daughter was
i'll in bed. The elevator operator,
a woman, remembered and warn
ed Mrs. Paulson in time to get the
girl out. She suffered a relapse
today.
John Clarke, v~oiceless Indian
carver and painter, and Charles
Bell, painter, both students under
the late Charles Russell, lost con-
siderable valuable work and the
latter lost a Russell painting of
considerable worth. The previous
fire destroyed a Russell painting
valued at $4,000. Valuable law
and professional libraries, medical
and scientific instruments belong
ing to tenants were lost. The
bank building, records show, was
constructed in 1890 for $4,000
At one time it was sold for $22, 900,
again at $50, 900, a third at $4,000.
The bank listed it's value at $780,
900.
The rooming house, crushed
under the falling walls of the bank
building was owned by J.. H.
Harris.

Remember Help Of U. 8.
The friendliness of Brazil for the
United States in everything having to
do with international relations has sew
eral foundations. Certain helpful ac-
hons by us at the beginning of Brazil's
independence are remembered here as II
they happened yesterday.
In practically every speech welcoming
Mr. Hoover, mention was made of the
fact that one of the early Brazilian
martyrs to independence went to the
scaffold carrying In the pocket of his
death garments a copy of the Constitu-
tion of the United States.
Help toward mutual friendship and
toward standing by each other in
international relations arises from the
fact that In an economic sense the
two countries are complementary to
each other. Brazil is a tropical coun-
try, producing what we need, but can
not raise ourselves, and vice versa. In
temperamental and spiritual sense
also, the two peoples are complement
tary. Brazil is the equivalent Of the
United States when the latter Is in It's
best and rarer mood Of art and gayety.
One might say that the United States
and Brazil are the two sides Of q gold
coin, one side of which Is plain and
bears merely the austere statement of
its economic worth. "one dollar" while
the other side bears the figure of a
rarely beautiful woman.
America, as a middled-aged man grown
substantial and little prosy, might
look upon Brazil and say like Marco
Polo in Eugene ONeill's play, There

Rountree of Norfolk. Va.
Homeward bound, after an enthusi-
astic reception at Rio De Janerio, which
climaXed his Latin American goodwill
tour, Mr. Hoover felt much gratified
over results of the tour. He is especial
~ pleased over the fact that all ap-
praiSalS and analyses of his trip, which
have come to him, characterized his
visit to the Central and South American
countries as q real and pronounced ac-
compliShment towards goodwill and
understanding and closer friendship in
the relations of the Latin American
republics and the United States.
Members of the Hoover party pointed
out that Mr.. Hoover had brought a
Christmas gift of peace and goodwill
to the Western Hemisphere and that
his tour was one of the most extensive
efforts of history in applying the
principle of friendly personal contact
between chief executives of nations Be-
sides Christmas greetings the radio

The Paraguayan answer to the same

Bolivian reply was eagerly awaited,

from proceeding with its mediation

DR.. Maurtua had indicated that he

even on Christmas day; but today, how
ever, there was strong likelihood Of a

Subcommittee Meets.
Utilizing the lull in the Bolivian
Paraguayan conciliation proceedings,
subcommittee on arbitration treaties
met yesterday TO reconcile different
viewpoints among the delegates over
the scope Of the pact which 1t is pro-
posed to conclude here.
The divergences center mostly around
the fact that 18 of the delegations here,
led by DR.. Enrique Olaya, insist on ex-
pecting from compulsory arbitration all
questions involving the internal legisla-
ton of states. The remaining dele
cations, including the United States and
Peru, are reported to desire that this
provision contain the further clause
that such matters would only be eX-
cepted If the internal legislation in
volved here were not in conflict with
principles of international law.

Paraguay's Conscience Clear.
When invited by the 'conciliation and

been opened in Washington under the

The delegation returned, IL is true,

Such are the antecedents of the con-
fiict with Bolivia. Those who read this

words.
My government feels at ease in con-
science because it has loyalty fulfilled
its duty to prevent the shedding of

reason and justice. but are willing also
to fight bravely, IL necessary, against
those who seek to attack them.

BRAZILIAN GRACE

Hoover Party Finds Rio Re.

RIO DE JANE1RO Brazil, December
25.-When the President of the Brazilian
Chamber of Deputies In public address
describes the United States as "the
supreme inspirer of peace and fraternity
among the nations" and President elect
Hoover as IAN altruistic Superman," 1t
may be truthfully inferred that the
reception here is on a high note But
tine key of the reception is no more ele-
waited than the facts of the condition.
The BraZilians are a folk Who il
they choose to say 1t at all, say 1t with
flowers of language. but If the facts do
not seem to them to call for gracious
ness. they can be more expressively
silent than any Anglo-Saxon.
Strong Bonds Tie Nations.
The truth is that the Brazilians feel
for the United States friendship and
practice with us cooperation that Is
one Of our principal pillars in our posi-
ton in the world If Americans gen.
orally were aware how deeply Brazil's
friendship is priced by our diplomats
and others who have had occasion to
come in contact with the facts the re-
suit would be that every American in
dividual would make 1t his patriotic
duty as we'll as his personal pleasure
to seek opportunity to make acquaint-
ance and practice responsive friendship
toward Brazil as nation and toward
the BrazilianS as charming individuals
The service would have abundant
personal rewards for all who under
stood It. The BraZilians are a unique
and remarkable people. .
Rio de Janeiro is one of the great
cities of the. world in the ordinary
sense, and there is Justification for
that 1t Is literally the worlds most
beautiful city. It's beauty is not accom-
plished by any selective choosing of
models of beauty from European cities.
The loveliness of Rio de Janeiro is
unique In the world. and is in turn the
direct indigenous expression of peo-
pie who possess unique grace.
Entertainment Is Different.
In the entertainment here practical
ly every detail has been different from
the corresponding detail in any other
city, whether on this journey or ever.
AS an example. much use has been
made of decoration through electric IL
Elimination. Where one would say Of
another city that 1t is flooded with
light, one would say of Rio that 1t Is
suffused with light
The peril of garishness which in our
own cities sometimes accompanies this
form of decoration is as completely alb
sent from Rio as from q particularly
delicate orchid. The individual forms
and colors taken by the lighted loops
and pendants and columns and other
figures along the avenue leading to the
palace where Mr.. Hoover was staying
were never seen anywhere else.
An instructive and special grace, per-
meating every workman and practiced
in everything the city has done since

ANOTHER FAILURE FOR VETS
Michigan Furnishes Only 5000 of
Necessary $4,000 Signatures;
Nebraska Vote Fails
to Materialize

The vets attempted TO initiate a state
vote on prohibition in Michigan but Sc
cured only 5000 of the So 900 signatures
required Word from wet headquarters
was to the effect that the wet leaders had
decided that this year was not an oppor-
tune year to call a referendum but the
drys are of the opinion that they found
difficulty in securing the names and came
to the conclusion that 1t would not be
worth while to ballot on this question
with sentiment unchanged for the most
part in Michigan on the wet and dry is
sue. Michigan entered the dry ranks in
1919 with a majority of 100000.
The collapse of the wet program is
doubly significant. dry leaders assert, be-
cause it was intended to influence Con-
gress to modify the federal prohibition
law by demonstrating its alleged UNI
popularity as well as to place the state
in position to take advantage of any
modification made in the federal statutes.
VETS also failed in their effort to bring

planning failure to file the petition, Bar

that lit was not deemed expedient to file

RURAL MISSOURI WILL FIGHT
Wet and Dry Issue Assumes Para-
mount Place When Reed Attacks
Charles NJ. Hay

Roy Buckingham, editorial correSpon-
dent of the New York Times, writing un-
der Kansas City date line of July Is, de-
clares that the lines are being drawn in
Missouri for bitter wet and dry fight.
The break started, he says, the day Gov
ernor Smith announced his insiStence
upon a modification plank and now the
breach is widened by Senator James A.
Reeds attack on the candidacy of Chas.
M Hay, the dry Democrat who is opposing
James A. Collet, lifelong political
enemy of Senator Reed.
When word came from Houston that
the Democrats were lined up to battle for
wet program, the uprising in rural Mis-
souri, was under way, says Mr.. Bucking-
ham. He continues:
Make no mistake about rural Missouri.
When its dander is up its potential ballot
strength is tremendous. Rural Missouri
is dry first and Decorate second There
is possibility some of the drys would
have swallowed Reeds Houston prohibit
ton statement and trailed along with him
had he won the nomination, but events
which followed Houston, especially Reeds
bringing into focus the wet and dry issue
more clearly than some Democratic lead
ers wished alienated the more radical
'drys in the party.
'The detection has reached the point
that the wet and dry issue is the chief
talking point in the state campaign.
:. If woman interest indicates any,
thing in Missouri at least, this is going to
be a most active campaign. The w C. T.
U. is organizing it's campaign to reach
every precinct in the state This is the
year these women have been waiting for
and it should not be overlooked that so far
as organization goes, they have a powerful
machine"
Mr. Buckingham says that the situation
indicates wet Eastern Missouri against
dry Western Missouri, the Eastern ele-
ment being largely st. Louis, where there
is a large wet German vote. However, he
thinks that rural Missouri aroused over
the wet and dry question will overcome
the big st. Louis wet vote and that as a
result Hoover's friends are greatly en-
couraged and hopeful

Anti-Saloon League is one of the most

government; believing it to be one of the
