FOUR LIVES LOST IN BAD
BLAZE At SAN FRANCISCO

Many others were treated for
minor burns.
The fire spread SO rapidly
through the four story building that
most of the tenants had no op-
portunity to use stairWays or fire
escape. Many ran up and down
the halls, screaming, before dash
ing to windows and waiting for
firemen to erect nets or ladders.
Several jumped from second, third
and even fourth floor windows and
were injured.
Operator Gives Warning
Pandemonium broke out as 80
pieces of fire fighting equipment
blocked Geary street. Hundreds of
spectators poured in from adjoin-
ing apartment houses and hotels
and were Mortified by the screams
Of victims and the sight of men and
women standing on window sillS
before background of roaring
flames. .-,'-+a
Gertrude Hillman, telephone op-
orator, ran up and down the halls,
screaming a warning until she fell
unconscious. A policeman carried
her out.
AS fast as the injured and burn
ed were removed they were stretch
out on the sidewalk across the
street awaiting arrival of ambu-
iances. Most of them were in pa
iopnac opd barefnOtad
Residents of adjoining apart
ments took in several who were not
badly hurt.
Firemen and police rescuers were
treated for burns and cuts.
Persons in an apartment across
a court were believed to have been
the first to turn in an alarm. Will
liam Roach said he was awakened
by wonan's scream. He looked
across the court and saw flames.
Almost Immediately, he said, the
fire spread through the structure
while men, women and children
dashed toward exits, screaming.
ut was horrible to watch peo-
pie jumping from windows and
falling unconscious in the hall
way" he said. There was moth
ing we could do"
Firemen believed the flames
started in second floor apart
ment, the building, like most other
four and five story apartment
houses in San Francisco, was con-
structed of redwood, a material
which withstands the S;hcck of
earth tremors better than a brick
or concrete building.
The fire was the most disastrous
in recent years.

Riot Staged By
English Troops

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan. 4. W.Pl
Soldiers Of the Northumberland
Fusiliers we're confined to barracks
today during investigation OF riot
ing in which one soldier was killed,
dozen soldiers and civilians In
jured, many homes and shops dam
aged and the eastern section Of
Kingston terrorized.
The trouble began Monday night.
Daniel McDougall, a young mem
ber Of the second battalion OF the
Fusiliers. and four comrades got
into an argument with civilians at
bar. McDougall was struck on
the head with brick and died In
the military hospital.
The next night some 200 soldiers
marched four abreast down Queen
street, through the center OF the
city, and began attacking citizens.
Quiet was restored after four

COUNTY CUTS
SCHOOL BILLS
Superintendent Reports Heavy
Decrease In Expenses Shown
At Start OF Year.

Reduction of approximately $780,
900 in county school expenses to
date as compared to last year at
the same period is reported by C.
B. Collins, county superintendent
OF schools.
This reduction is shown in the
amount of registered warrants and
in the cash payments made when
the figures for the two years are
compared.
Last year, January l, 1882, the
amount of unpaid registered war
rants for the elementary schools
was $4,000 and the elementary
schools this year have the same
amount registered to date. Cash
payments made to date, however
show a reduction of $4,000; last
year at this time S290,O0O had been
expended by January l in cash pay
ments while on January l of this
year, only $201 900 had been paid
out. This, Superintendent Collins
points out, indicates that the
schools are spending less money.
One other explanation might ac-
count for this reduction of expend-
itures, that the schools are waiting
for more money and not making
payments at the present time, but
upon interviewing school heads
Collins finds that with possibly one
exception, this is not the case and
that payments are being made to
the same extent that they were
last year.
For the high schools, reduction
is shown in the amount of regis
tered warrants: Last year at this
time $4,000 was registered COM
pared to the $4,000 registered this
year, reduction of $4,000. Add
ed to this is a reduction of $4,000
in cash payments, last year $129,-
900 having been paid out against
$121 10000 this year.

ATTACK
ON ROOSEVELT
G. O. P. Congressional Leaders
Will Try To Ditch Legislative
Program.
By WILLIAM r. KERRY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. U.P,-Re-
publican congressional leaders to-
day were determined to try to ditch
the Roosevelt legislative program
which they are convinced the Pre-
sident-elect soon will place before
congress.
They fully expect a new admin
lstration". slate of legislation to be
agreed upon at the conference in
New York City tomorrow between
house and senate Democrats and
Mr.. Roosevelt. The program is ex-
pected to include provisions for
budget balancing, beer and farm
relief.
Republicans are hopeful of up
setting this program in the short
session because of the shaky DEM
ocratic house majority, the incon-
elusive Democratic-insurgent SEN
ate alliance and President Hoover's
veto power. They are determined
that none of Mr.. Roosevelt's pro-
posals be put into effect while the
Republican administration remains
in office.
Republicans are particularly bit
ter on the subject of farm relief and
the controversial question of bud
get balancing methods.
Two days in advance of the sub
mission of the allotment plan of
farm relief, and perhaps weeks in
advance of the expected fiscal leg
islation, prominent Republicans
have begun the relentless hammer
ing characteristic of an opposition
minority. They seem to feel that
the real White House has been
shifted from Washington to Hyde
Park and New York.
Target For Republicans
Roosevelt has become the con-
stant target of Republican attacks.
The allotment farm relief plan,
formally reported to the house yes
terday, was Immediately assailed as
"a billion dollar sales tax on
bread" This was the phrase of Rep.
Schafer, Repn., Wis, who attacked
the incoming president for sup
porting" such a bill yet being quot
ed as Mortified" at the suggestion
he support a general manufactur-
erS sales tax.
Assistant Republican Leader
Michener publicly labeled the bill
"the Roosevelt allotment plan"
Others followed suit, indicating
bitter fight with the added in
tention of placing responsibility fol
the measure squarely on Mr.. Roose-
velt'S shoulders.

LOS ANGELES. Jan. 4. W.D-
Two men were held in jail on

after Blanchard, whose home is
in Oakland, had offered him a
proposition whereby Pantages was
to be coerced at gun point into

ing arrangements for 1t being
cashed. The former marine plead
ed for a few days to think it over"
and in the end went to the Pan
tapes home and exposed the entire
plot. officers said. He then led
Them to the downtown rendezvous
where Blanchard awaited him.
Stark said he became acquainted
with Blanchard through a newspa-
per want ad in which the former
offered to "do anything for money,
Blanchard replied. Investigators
indicated Stark would be freed.

Mail Sack Stolen
At Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4. U.P)-
Police joined U. S. postal author
tiles today in an intensive search
for two mail truck robbers who
held up three guards at the South
ern Pacific railroad station late
last night and escaped with a
pouch of registered mail.
Money and valuables estimated

SHANHA|kWAN
BATTLE ENDS
BY III. II. EKINS
United Press Staff Correspondent


PEIPING, Jan. 4. japanese
troops occupied Chinese territory
inside the reat Wall at Shanhaik-
wan today after their terrific bonn
bardment left the city in smoking
ruins with 500 Chinese soldiers
dead, and an undetermined num-
ber of civilians dead or wounded.
The japanese gained control of
the Mukden-Peiping railway and
entrance into the rich province OF
Jehol, with losses reported official
ly as eight dead, included one COM
missiored officer, and 13 serious
ly wounded.
Chinese conceded occupation of
Shanhaikwan after three japanese
assaults from sea, land and air and
intensive bombardment of the city.
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang,
young war lord who was ousted
from his great Manchurian domain
by the Japanese, considered the
occupation of ShanhaikWan ma
tional emergency. He advised the
Japanese commander at Shanhaik-
wan to address further communi-
cations to the Nanking govern
ment, and not to Marshal Chang.
The Japanese insisted on regard
ing the Shanhaikwan fighting as
q local incident which could be
settled by local negotiations.
Train On Guard
Chonnic cnldiarc uyoro
reported to be reforming at
Changli, under the protection of
three armored trains. A Japanese
armored train was on patrol be-
tween Shanhaikwan and Chin
wangtao, the port on the gulf of
Lao, south of Shanhaikwan.
The japanese reported the cap
ture of trench mortarS, machine
guns, grenades and stores of am
munition.
Hostil!ties in the Shanhaikwan
area were suspended, at least mo-
mentarily, while Peiping, Tient-
sin and other cities within strik-
ing distance of a possible Japanese
advance to the south lived under
great tension.
1t was believed, however, that
the Japanese would continue to hold
Shanhaikwan, to protect their
troops from attack during an ad-
vance into Jehol. The Chinese tel
egraph administration reestablish-
ed communication with Shanhaik-
wan, disrupted during the fighting.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. W.P5 =
Treasury figures today revealed
that the government closed it's
books on Dec. 30 with a deficit of
1,159, ,286, ,5O2.48 for the first six
months of the current fiscal year.
This deficit brought the total
outstanding public debt to $40, ,805, :
556,791.76 as compared with ST.
825 ,499, ,753 a year ago.
Sharp declines in income tax
collections and in custom duties,
and the failure TO effect any out
standing expenditures reductions
have resulted in a deficit which
compares with the 81, 1854, ,961 ,377 on
Dec. 80, 1881, an all time high to-
tai during peace years.
Income tax collections have de-
creased from $615 ,324,34 to $343,-

have dropped from $197, ,389, ,302 to
