Stubborn Vile Fire
 Causes $3, ,000 Loss
Winyah Avenue Blaze To-day Gives Bremen Hard
 Struggle as Elements Handicap Progress

For more than two hours four companies of flremen battled a stubborn blaze which threatened the complete destruction today of a three-family residence at 54 Winyah avenue, Waterville. With the temperature registering two below zero and sharp winds sweep ing about them, Chief Henry H. Heitman and his valiant crew of fire fighters fought the hardest struggle of the season. From the viewpoint of handicaps it was one of the toughest battles in years. With their helmets, coats and gloves stiff with freezing water and the big lines of hose encased in ice and difficult to handle, the firemen welcomed the orders to re- turn to their respective stations.
 The alarm from Box SS was reg istered at 10:55 o'clock this morn ing. It was nearly 2:OO before the last company reported back Tn service. The loss was approximated at $S,00O with the families of MT Dalton. the owner, Frank Steele on the second floor and Ambrose Fins kel on the third, sharing the loss in furnishings and clothing.
 The fire apparently originated from an overheated chimney in the cellar. It was discovered by Mrs Dalton when she investigated the odor of smoke, which was filling the house. Before the fifemen ar rived on the scene and had their lines of hose in action the flames swept from the cellar through the tenement of MT Dalton into the homes of the tenants on the upper

NEW YORKBANKS
 TO MAKE THEIR
 DEPOSTORS PAY
No More Courtesy Serv- ices, for All Must Be
 Paid For

New York, Dec 29-UP)-De- positors in 138 banks and banking houses of New York city faced the
 possibility today of paying for each and every service the banks rem der them.
 Bankers drew black line through a list of dozens of "cour- tesy services and substituted ser- vice charges which ranged from 2 1-2 cent per charge for deposit slips to a 25 cent premium for
 handling checks drawn on outside banks.
 The changes were embodies in a code of fair competition formally approved yesterday, and submitted to the banking code committee of the MIRA and the American Bank CTS association for Approval. It approved the changes become ef- fective January 1. Manhattan bank officials will levy a base charge of $2 a month on all accounts whose monthly balance averages less than $500. An allowance of cents for every $25 of balance carried will be made. For example, a depositor with $100 balance would be as-
 sessed s2 less 20 cent allowance. Likewise depositors will be all lowed to pass through the banks without charge two items monthly for each $25 of balance main- tained. The items" include checks drawn, deposit slips, and the in- dividual listing of checks and cur rencies on those slips for deposit. Thus a person depositing two checks would be charged with three items. Each item in excess of the monthly quota will be assessed 2 1-2 cents. Item fees apply on ac- counts up to $10,000, but the base rate does not apply above the $500 mark.
 The regulations also will provide for:
 Elimination of interest on Christ mas club and on thrift ac- counts of less than $5. Charges of 10 to 25 cents for cashing checks on outside banks. Charge of 50 cents for with drawal of thrift accounts within three months of their inaugural.
 Charge for replacing lost bank books.
 Charge for postage and other expenses contracted for patrons. Charge of $2 for uncleared checks for which customer is re- sponsible.

THIRTEEN. WEAR, : OLD GIRL KILLED
 YOUNG PLAYMATE
Admits She Did It Because Other Girl Told Tales
 of Family

White Plains, N. Y., Dec 29.--- (UP)-The confession of a 13-year old girl that she murdered her younger playmate in an outburst of temper left authorities undecided today as to what action the state would take. Mary Kavala, 13, of 8 Washington avenue, Hastings-on- Hudson, N. r., was held as the con- fessed slayer of Josephine War opay, 8, the child whose trussed body was found behind clubhouse building. The murder, which at first was believed to have been a sex crime, was committed by the Kava1a girl without accomplices, District Attorney Frank H. Coyne said on the basis of the confession.
 Mary claimed" Coyne said, ''that Josephine had been telling stories about her mother and her family, and in fit of temper she struck Josephine in the face with 0 rock. Then while the child was stunned, she bound her hands with strands from an old mop. She put a rubber band around her neck and tied strands from the mop around the neck. She had found the rubber band which had been cut from the inner tube of an old tire.
 "Then she pulled a large sled over the child's body" Coyne said, quoting from the girls confession.

LONERCAN SENT
 HOTEL PROTESTS
Outright Repeal of Cone necticut Liquor Codes
 Being Requested
(special to The Democrat)

Washington, D. C., Dec 29-Pro- tests from members of the Con- necticut Hotel association against financial difficulties arising from the MIRA code through inability of the hotels to dispense liquor under state laws, have been received by Senator Lonergan democrat, Con- necticut, and presented to General Johnson's code authorities.
 The hotels contend that their code was adopted with the expee- tation of increasing revenues from liquor sales after repeal, accord ing to Senator Lonergan. They ac- cepted higher wage scales and other provisians increasing their operating costs on the basis of esti- mated returns from that source. The Connecticut group points out that the result has been satisfac- tory in most states where the ho- tells are permitted to sell liquors, but inasmuch as this Is not possible in Connecticut. outright repeal of the codes. or modification to meet the Connecticut situation, is re- quested.

NEBRASKA SEEKS
 IRRIGATION FUND
Plans Offered PWA For Approval Involves
 $44,OOO,OOO

Hastings, Neb, Dec 29.-(UP)-- A dream of a great inland agricul- tural empire, a region of matchless productive capacity, is envisaged by proponents of Nebraska's great Tri- County development project now seeking the approval of the Public Works Administration at Washing ton.
 Approved by the Nebraska Ad- visory Board on Public Works, ap- plication of the development dis trict for approximately $44,000,- 900 of federal funds for develop ment of the dream are now before government officials.
 A vast scheme of conservation of the surface and sub-surface waters of the Nebraska watershed is represented in plans for the gi- gantis development.
 The district, in addition to the irrigation phases, proposes to build hydro-electri units capable of generating annually approxi- mately 225,000,000 kilowatt hours of primary power. Creation of e great supply of power, it is be- lieved, will turn the vast central section of Nebraska into a partial industrial section in addition to its already well established agarian character.
 Plans call for the creation of two lakes by construction of two dams to impound unappropriated waters of the North Platte river. One dam, one and a half miles long and 11O feet high, would im- pound 2O9,300 acre feet of water creating a lake more than l00 feet deep. The other dam, one and three-quarter miles long and 130 feet high, would impound 300,00 acre feet of water in a lake 130 feet deep.
 In presenting the approved plans to Washington officials, the Nebraska Advisory Board pointed out that the development repre- sents a vision in national plan- ming, not only for to-day but to- morrow"
