Spontaneous combustion is be- lieved to have been the cause of a fire. which blew out the windows and gutted the Palace Cut Rate store at 1O2 East Main street shortly af- ter o'clock this morning. Fixtures and merchandise in the store were badly damaged and the loss is ex- pected to approximate $1,000.

 Trolley and vehicular traffic were tied up for a time as fire apparatus congested East Main street, between blaze was under control Chief Henry H. Heitman had the fire autos pulled one side and a large squad of policemen called to the scene handled the traffic situation very nicely.
 James E. Longw0rth, owner of the cut rate store, which Is also a part jewelry store. stated this morning that he opened up the store and did little sweeping when he de- cided to visit a barber shop. He had been in the chair but q minute or two and had had his face lath- cred when young lad named Deme- tri Presloesky of Hill street rushed excitedly into the place and informed him that his store was on fire. The youngster was polishing some brass work on door leading to Genlots when he was startled by an ex- plosion. One of the big show win dows was blown out onto the side walk. The store within few min- utes became mass of flames. An

Attacking the blaze with a line of chemical and a big stream the firemen quenched 1t within a few minutes time, but the force of the line If water thrown into the store swept bottles of per- fume, powder and other articles onto the floor. The flames had com to fixtures and were mak- ing lively fire for awhile. After the flames had been subdued fire men spent sometime removing the debris. sweeping out the water and piling the wreckage on the curb.
 Chief Heitman and Acting Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion directed the force. Immediately after some of the excitement subsided Fire Marshal Frank w. Holland. who was on hand shortly after the bell hit, started an investigation.
 Firemen found blaze among a pile of rubbish in the rear of the store, but due to the explosion, which wrecked the windows, 1t was the general opinion that spon- taneous combustion was the cause. Painters had been working in the place lately making a number of renovations. They will be obliged to return after this mornings in- cident.
 The damage to the store and mer- chandise is reported as being cov- cred by insurance.
 Bremen visited the basement of the Palace building and made a
 thorough inspection. Only little
 smoke seeped into one or two ad- joining stores, but was quickly dis sipated on the opening of doors and windows.

There is no better time than the present to consider this matter" he remarked.
 Kimmers measure asserted that the democratic members of the house, representing about one-third of the body, had been elected by the votes of 153.040 persons in com munities containing approximately 100000 persons The republican majority, he continued, was elected by the votes of 93,484 in communi- ties containing 650,000.
 No democrats were appointed to tho committees on appropriations. agriculture, cities and boroughs, education, finance and roads. bridges and river. Only one, according to Kimmel was appointed to 12 repub- lcans on the committees on humane institutions and motor vehicles. The important judiciary committee has only two democrats, KimmePs reso- lution said.
 Kimmel advocated his measure briefly as in the interest of good government and fairness" and de- manded a roll call vote. Speaker Howard A1corn, republican, Suffield, put the question of a roll call and declared it defeated but rescinded his ruling upon kimmefs insistence and called for a roll call vote.
 The Kimmel resolution was de- feated on strictly party lines, 191 to 68.
