DOCTORS OPERATE
WHILE FIRE RACES
GaIIinger Hospital Blaze Dis
regarded by Three Surgeons
and Three Nurses.

With flames sweeping the outside of
the small wooden building which houses
the operating room and dispenSary at
Gallinger Hospital, three oS~.ors and
three nurses continued calmly q ssrious
abdominal operation, at 1880 o'clock
today.
On the table with the ether cap over
her face was Mrs. Harriet Wright, a
patient. The operation was being per-
formed by DR.. E. w. Titus. assisted by
DR.. Homer Russ and DR.. G.. N. Schip-
man, the latter administering the highly
infiammable and explosive ether.
The nurses were: Head nurse, Miss
Mary Deignan; Mrs. Lillian Mann and
Mrs. Josephine Crowley. Paying nc at
to the excitement outside. these six
happened. Presumably there were no
i'll effects on the patient, who was I'M
conscious all the time.
The fire resulted from thawing out o
frozen drain pipe with a torch. A spark,
1t Is believed, lodged in a dry bird nest
which was dislodged from the side OF
the pipe and the fire broke out a few
minutes after the workman had left. 1t
burned out about 20 feet of n wall Of
the ~dispensary and broke through into
the attic. Firennen had the blaze quickly
under control and 1t never actually
reached the side of the building In
which the operating room was located.
The patient had been brought to the
hospital by DR.. Huron w. Lawson, l7l7
N street, who was an anxious spectator
while the hose played on the blaze.

MONROE DOCTRINE

From Impression Created

News. Copyright, 1929.
BUENOS AIRES, January 14.-The
campaign in the American Senate to
have the Monroe Doctrine reservation
placed in the Kellogg pact is detract-
ing considerably from the friendly
impression left by P~resident-elect Hoo
YER In his South American goodwill
tour.
La Prensa of Buenos Aires, a news
paper which has been noticeably less
bitter in its criticism Of American poll
tics since Hoover's visit, states edi-
torialiy that as long IS those Amer
leans who are occupied in international
affairs" insist on invoking the Monroe
Doctrine, "they are going to fail in
their efforts to inspire confidence on
the American continent"
La PrenSa says that the Monroe
Doctrine already has prevented the
United States from taking a construc-
tive part in the League Of Nations
efforts to bring about universal peace
and is the direct cause of Great
Britain,s new policy of claiming
spheres of responsibility in her South
American and insular possessions.
The latter Is the principal cause of
the failure Of the "A. B. c." Republics
to ratify the Kellogg pact, they be-
lieving that 1t involves British recog-
milton OF the Monroe Doctrine, in ex-
change for American recognition of the
British spheres of responsibility
around islands situated near British
possessions.
La Prensa concludes by saying that
American statesmen will soon find that
they made q great mistake in bringing
the Monroe Doctrine into the limelighi
again while studying o pact signed In
Paris declaring the illegality Of war.

Gilbert Seeks Successful Result.
Mr.. Gilbert Is known keenly to de-
sire a successful outcome OF the eX-
pert's' conference. He arrived from
Europe last week and came to WASH
ington almost Immediately for confer
ences with Mr.. Coolidge, Secretary OF
the Treasury Mellon, Secretary OF State
Kellogg and others.
It was his purpose, according to UNI
questionable authority, to gain assent
Of administration chiefs here to suggest
MIR. Young as chairman Of the confer
ence. In this, Mr.. Young would be in
the position of arbiter between French
and German experts instructed by their
governments to obtain the most adj
~vantageous total Of the final German
debt figure.
Mr.. Gilbert feared that a European,
or even q Japanese chairman, would
not WELD sufficient authority to bring
opposing viewpoints together and that
an American of Mr.. Young's caliber and
international prestige would be more
successful.
Mr.. Gilbert's mission failed COM
pletely, insofar as official sanction of
President Coolidge's administration was
concerned, either for Mr.. Young as
chairman or for any other move which
| would tend to identify the Washington
Government in any quasi-oficials po-
| sition with regard to the PREPARATIONS
parley.
Unoficial observers here, therefore, are
| obliged to believe that Mr.. Gilbert
| then appealed to Mr.. Morgan to lend
| his powerful aid to that Of Mr.. Young
for the experts meeting.
Reports here last night that Mr.. Nor
gan had accepted was regarded rs OF
the greatest Importance. Comment upon
this decision is that, despite the lack
Of Mr.. Young as chairman of the con-
ference, the combined prestige of Mr.
Morgan and Mr.. Young viii so far out.

tary of Agriculture Jardine officiating
and most Of the members of the agri-
culture committees Of the two houses OF
Congress attending. More than 500 en-
ployes of the Department OF Agriculture
were present.
In the principal address, Secretary
Jardine lauded the work of the depart
ment and saw In the provision Of ade-
quate space for the employees Of the de-

the last century and foretold greater

ers Of the country.

of the Senate committee on agriculture,
and Senator Capper of Kansas, a MEM
Der of the committee, Representative
Haugen, chairman Of the House COM

The opposition Of Wood has thus

knocked out.
Treasury officials said Tate had civil

there was such a job which Nh. Tate

In his short statement. Tate said:
"At the time of my nomination last

I formally requested Secretary Mellon

embarrassment to the department.
Undersecretary Mills emphasized the
fact that nothing in Tate's withdrawal
could be interpreted as rejecting on
his integrity In any way. The Under
secretary said there had been no irregu-

No indication was available today as

to Mr.. Tate, the previous treasurer was

Rumors Say AmanuIIah Has
Quit in Elder Brothers
Favor.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January 14.-British off,
cial advices late today confirmed re-
ports from Peshawar that King
Amanullah of Afghanistan has abdi-
Gated.
By the Associated Press.
PESHAWAR, India, January LIT
is strongly rumored on the frontier that
King Amanullah has abdicated in favor
Of his elder brother, Prince Inayatullah,
and has left Kabul by airplane for
Kandahar.
The exact situation In Afghanistan
for the past week has been somewhat
obscure. Recent dispatches have indi-
Gated that fighting between the Kings
forces and the rebels had somewhat died
down. although there were reports OF
sporadic clashes.
Dispatches from New Delhi last week
told of the publication in an Afghan
newspaper of a proclamation supposed
to have been signed by Amanullah In
which he rescinded most of his recently
promulgated regulations for the west
erniZation of his country.
During the heavy fighting around Ka-
bull last month before the rebels were
driven off there was a rumor that
Amanullah had abdicated, but this later
proved untrue.

cumstances should public streets be
used as garages" he said. "If people
feel it is necessary to keep their cars
parked in front OF their homes all
night, they should have, driveways built
which would permit them to do So"
The report of the, councils traffic
committee, President Berresford said,
will be published in about two weeks.
1t is merely 10000 words In length and
covers all conditions and methods of
trafhc control. Recommendations for
general use through the United States
will be made.
In addition to paving the way for
an investigation of the Army Engineer
Corps, the board voted also to appoint
a committee to help push the labora-
tory bill through the House.
The council has taken the position
that the Corps Of Engineers should be
permitted to carry on all the expert
mental investigation it needs, but there
should be a hydraulic research labora-
tory in the Bureau Of Standards.
The president of the council, Arthur
w. Berresford Of New York, stated that
1t was the purpose Of the civilian en-
gineers, not simply to investigate the
undesirable side of the situation" but
to take in all aspects Of Engineer Corps
activities. The council. Mr.. Berresford
explained, seeks to establish "a founda-
ton of quotable fact"
Another point of controversy between
the two opposing forces is the proposed
establishment of a Department of Pub
lie Works, in which the engineering
functions Of the Government would be
centralized. The Engineering Council
strongly favors the Capitalization OF
public works under civilian engineering
direction.

New Building
In 1929 For
Son.

Directors of the Nogales, Son.
ora, Chamber of Commerce are an
ticipating the new year as the per-
iod when actual construction will
begin on the new chamber of COM
merce building, according to Juan
P. Robes, secretary.
Plans were recently drawn by
Jose CASTELAR,, Nogales, Sonora,
architect, calling for beautiful
structure which will be known as
the Exposition Industrial del Pa
cifico, serving the purpose it's name
implies. The building would house
a comprehensive exposition of pro-
ducts from the west coast and other
parts Of the republic.
1t will be two stories in height,
1876 feet long and lis feet deep.
Offices of the chamber of commerce
will be included in the building and
front rooms will be provided for
business and office accommoda-
tions.
Plans call for the razing of the
present structure located on Ca
mou street and erection of the new
building at the same site. The
chamber of commerce is now To-
Gated in inadequate quarters where
a small exhibition of mining and
agricultural products of Mexico is
maintained.
Officials Of the organizations
are taking into consideration rev.
enue available from renting space
which will go toward defraying ex-
pense of construction.
