SPAIN ACTS TO END
PLOT FOR REPUBLIC
More Than Sixty Communist
Leaders Jailed Since
Monday.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, November 19.-Armed with
sawed-off shotguns and sidearms, police
patrolled this city today, while the gov
eminent took final steps to break up q
Communist plot to upset the throne and
establish republic.
More than so Communist and Repub-
lican leaders of Madrid have been jailed
since Monday, when authorities first
discovered the plot, and similar round
up has been ordered in the provinces
where general strikes still are in prog
ress.
AS revealed by government officials,
the Communist and Republican agita-
tors planned to create disturbances here
yesterday morning, and in the ensuing
confusion bring about the fall of the
government and the monarchy.
Authorities believe the movement
lacked any considerable strength, con-
sidering the diversity of character in
the elements concerned, and that little
coordination could have been expected
from leaders of the two cliques. Their
arrest is believed definitely to have ter
minated the threat, but as a precau-
tionary measure guards in the city are
being maintained in double number.
Alarnnist reports circulated today to
the effect that various units of the army
were involved In the conspiracy were
denied by government officials.

Opposition to any change in the law
of providing for apportionment OF the

Mr.. Fem, who has returned to WASH

|, IN COLV|N RUN IRE
Mother and Three Children
Found in Cellar of
Bungalow.
Special Dispatch to The STAR


COLVIN RUN, Va, November 19.-
Trapped in their home in some unknown
manner when fire broke out there
shortly after o'clock last night, Mrs.
Bernice Sullivan, AZ years old, and her
three children-Elizabeth, o; Elsie, 6,
and Daniel J. Sullivan, IT., 4--were
burned to death before assistance could
reach them.
The bodies Of the four victims were
found In the basement of the bungalow
after the house had been entirely con-
sunned by the flames. They were
burned beyond recognition.
Father Not at Home.
The husband and father, Daniel J.
Sullivan, said that he had left at about
$50 O'Clock to 60 to the home OF q
neighbor, Leo Crowell, leaving the
mother and children alone.
At about $50 o'clock two men In the
vicinity noticed flames shooting from
the roof of the bungalow and rushed to
the scene, but we're unable to approach
because Of the extreme heat. They then
ran TO the nearest telephone, which is
two miles away, unaware that Mrs.
Sullivan and her children were Ia the
burning building.
Fire companies from Vienna and
MacLean were dispatched to the scene,
but were too late to save the building,
although the booster tanks and chemi-
Gals were used. They were unable to
reach the well because the small build
ing In which it was housed was in
flames.
Believed Due to Explosion.
Firemen In attempting to reach q
conclusion as to the origin Of the blaze
and as to how the family could have
persisted In one-story building with
windows and doors all around have de-
cided that the fire started either from
the explosion of an oil stove or lamp,
enveloping either the mother or one Of
the children in flames, and that Mrs.
Sullivan was so badly burned by the
explosion that she was unable to save
either herself or the children.
Sullivan was so overcome when he
reached the scene that he was unable
to assist firemen in their efforts to save
the building.
The bodies of the four victims were
taken to Moneys undertaking establish
ment In Vienna by Deputy Sheriff
Henry Magartty and Harold King.

MOVE TO REDUCE
TONNAGE AVOIDED
Preparatory Disarmament
Group Feels Incompetent to
Fix Figures on Guns.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA, November 19.-Maxim
Lityinoff, Russian delegate to the pre-
paratory disarmament meetings, today
moved to reduce the maximum ton
mage of capital ships to 10000 tons,
with 12-inch guns. The commission,
however, declined to enter into the
merits Of the question.
The draft under consideration con-
tains the maximum figures of the
washington treaty-35,00 900 tons with
l6-inch guns-as submitted by the
great naval powers.
The Soviets, said Litvinoff, wished to
do away with arms of an offensive ma
ture. regarding present-day battleships
as belonging to this class.
British Ships at Figures.
Lord Cecil said that the British gov
eminent favored such move as
Lityinoff suggested, but felt that the
preparatory commission was not COM
petent TO f1x the figures.
Hugh s. Gibson, the American dele
gate, said he. would abstain from voting
on the Soviet proposal, but wished It
understood that the American Gov
eminent was not taking q position of
opposition to reduction in the size of
the ornaments OF capital ships.
The commission finally voted unani-
mously to remove the figures of tom
mage and caliber from the draft treaty,
leaving blanks for the general con-
ference TO I'LL
Two Articles Adopted.
The commission adopted articles B
and G Of the naval draft, embodying
the principles OF limitation by category
and the privilege of transferring part
Of tonnage as in the London treaty.
Great Britain took exception to q
proposal Of the smaller powers which
would have permitted absolute freedom
Of transfer Of tonnage for States hav-
ing naYies less than 100000 tons total.
The British position was that Great
Britain could net agree to permit the
right TO any. State to put an unrestrict-
ed proportion Of its total tonnage into
submarines. This also was understood
to be IN principle the position of the
American Government.
The draft finally approved allows
navies under 100000 tons freedom of
transfer with the reservation that some
limit may be arranged for the per-
centage Of tonnage, which may be put
into submarines.

.$1,251,800 Roosevelt Con-
tract Is Awarded to Closed
Shop Atlanta Firm.
COMPANY WHICH USES
SOUTHERN HELP LOSES
Structure to Replace Business Will
Be on Site Near Thirteenth
and Allison Streets.

The District Commissioners today
awarded to the National Construction
Co. of Atlanta, Ga, a contract for con-
struction of the Roosevelt High School
for $1,251 800.
The Atlanta concern has a branch
office in Washington. 1t uses union
labor and is said to have arrangements
with Washington union circles where
by local labor win be employed. There
was contest between this concern and
the William P. Rose Co. of Goldsboro, N.
c., which uses Southern labor and has
open shop. District business and union
groups backed the Atlanta concern on
account of its local tie-up.
The Georgia concern made the low
straight bid, but if its certain alter
mates, principally one for using marble
instead of limestone trim, had been
adopted, the Rose company would have
been lower bidder by about $4,000. The
decision was to take the limestone trim
instead of the marble and thereby give
the contract to the Atlanta concern.
Replaces Business High.
The school will be built to replace
the present Business High School. 1t
will be located on land owned by the
District, bounded by Thirteenth street,
Upshur street, Allison street and Iowa
avenue. The present Business High
Schol at Rhode Island avenue and Ninth
street will become colored school after
the new structure is completed.
Regarded as Local Firms.
The awarding of the Roosevelt con-
tract to the National Construction Co.,
which is regarded as local organiza-
ton since it maintains an offlce here
as well as in Atlanta and more par
ticularly because it has announced 1t
win employ local labor and deal with
local subcontractors, ends one phase of
q vigorous campaign waged actively for
six months by local organizations.
Local labor leaders, contractors, archi-
teets and material dealers AFFILIATED with
the Buy-in-Washington Council, were
among those who protested to the city
heads over the possible award Of the
Roosevelt High School contract to an
