FIRE IS MENACE.
To HOSPITAL

CHICAGO, Feb. IL 0NS0-
Lives of hundreds of patients
were endangered here today when
fire broke out in the laundry build
ing of Michael Reese Hospital,
one Of the largest in the city.
When firemen arrived flames
were shooting 100 feet into the
air and dense clouds of smoke
filtered through the hospital
building. Two special alarms
brought additional firemen and
apparatus which played water on
the burning building to prevent
the flames spreading to the
nurses home and the hospital,
separated from the laundry by
a narrow alley.

j. s. SUPERSH|P
DRAWS FIRE
Of BORAH

With a demand from Senator
Borah (R), Of Idaho, that the
British scrap their Nelson and
Rodney, the two most powerful
fighting ships afloat, instead. Of
the United States being required
to build a similar super-ship, it
became increasingly apparent to-
day that Congress would never
authorize the expenditure of be-
tween $4,000. 900 and $50, 900, 600
for the purpose.
Under o proposal made by
Secretary Of State Stimson, and
finally admitted after the utmost
secrecy had been Observed, the
United States would attain battle
ship parity by constructing q
Nelson or a Rodney, probably the
latter, scrap a few o: the older
ships, and thereby avoid the
necessity of Britain sacrificing
her two SuperShips. The Nelson
displaces $500. tons and the
Rodney, $4,000. They carry nine
l6 inch guns, and have two
knots more speed at % knots,
than any battleship in the
American Navy.
Would Effect Saving
Although Acting Secretary Of
State Cotton pointed out that by
spending $50, ,000, 900 for q Rod
ney the difference between this
amount and $4OO, 900, 900 which
10 replacements would cost be.
fore 1896, would be saved, Con
gressional leaders in both parties
are expected to oppose such
proposition.
It is pointed out in Congress
sional circles that the United
States scrapped her newest and
finest ships after the Washington
capital ship conference in 1922
and Great Britain could now
show her good faith in a desire
for naval limitation and possible
reduction, by Scrapping down to
this country's capital ship level
rather than requiring the United
States to build up to the British
It is recognized here that fol
lowing the Washington confer
ence, the result Of which contem-
plated parity between Britain and
this country in the capital ship
category, Congress in the inter
vening years. failed to appropriate
money to make it an actuality.
Seek Paper Parity
And now, even naval officers.
bearing in mind their futile ef-
forts before Congress of the past,
realize that the Stimson proposal
is more in the nature of a gesture
which might give the United
States paper" parity, with no
hope of realizing the real thing.
Naval officers believe about the
only Scrapping Great Britain will
agree to will be that of some of
her older ships which are about
due for the junk pile anyhow.
They point out that the United
States also has some ready to be
sunk in airplane maneuvers, and
that under the Washington agree
ment, this country would have
10 battleShip requirements to
make by 1885 if the program
were carried out.

Borah, that he feels practically

q resolution calling for a Senate
inquiry into the entire prohibi.

ing the appointment Of Maj. Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby as a District
Commissioner. The fight upon
the distinguished soldier whom
President Hoover wants to lead
the fight on organized crime"
in the Capital is not a personal
one. 1t is based upon the legal
ground that a retired general Of
the Army is not civilian, Accord

and also upon the fact that
General Crosby is not representa-

Local trade and civic bodies are
