CHICAGO FIRE
 IS BIGGEST IN
 REGENT YEARS
Property Loss Confined Chiefly to Stockyards
 District Buildings

CHICAGO, May 21.-The city's most disastrous fire since the conflagration of 1871, which virtu- ally destroyed the city, was brought under control Saturday evening af- ter damages had been suffered which officials estimated would run above $10000,000.
 Fire Marshal Michael Corrigan announced at 9:30 o'clock that the fire was definitely under control and that some equipment had re- turned to the stations.
 The fire was started about 1 o'clock apparently by a carelessly tossed cigaret at the pens of the Union Stockyards. The blaze raced through the drought dried struc- lures with such rapidity that with in an hour after the first alarm was turned in, the flames ragged uncontrolled over territory a mile square.
 Structures Damaged
 The main packing pants, how ever, were not damaged, the loss being confined to other stockyard buildings and those outside of the yards property.
 About Is major buildings and dozens of small homes were de- stroyed A hurried survey shrowed 20 injured, few seriously, and one fireman missing.
 It is estimated that half the livestock in the yard perished in the fire, which would mean 300 cattle, 5000 hogs, 1000 sheep, and 100 calves.

WILSON PLEADS WITH STRIKERS
 ON TRUCE PLAN
Alaska Steamship Com pany Head Urging Ex-
 emption Alaska Boats

While late developments in the longshoremens strike on the Paci- fic Coast are far from promising, T. B. Wilson, General Manager of the Alaska Steamship Company. is endeavoring to arrange a truce with the unions to permit sailings of other vessels similarly to the Victoria, according to a telegram received from him yesterday by Gov. John w. Troy.
 MT. Wilson flew to San Fran cisco to attend a conference which opened Saturday. The conference deadlocked Saturday afternoon and adjourned to resume discussions today.
 McCrady Is Presiding
 Assistant Secretary of Labor Me- Grady called the conference be- tween the unions, steamship opera tors and port representatives. Three, including MT Wilson, repre- sented Seattle.
 MT Wilson portrayed the situa- tion Saturday evening as follows:
 California ports are working. Believe on account of the complete failure of police protection in the State of Washington and Oregon and their ports closed has influ- enced union representatives to be more adamant in their demands, which include a coastwise agree ment. Union so far declines to consider settlement by ports or steamship lines.

MANDAMUS WRIT. SUIT FAILS TO
 BE SUSTAINED
Rules Facts h. suficient-Two Other
 Decisions Are Made

Suit filed several weeks ago by Mrs. Lily Scott against Gov. John w. Troy to compel him to allot her mothers pension for four minor children was dismissed in the Federal district court today when Judge George J. Alexander sustained a general demurrer in terposed by Atty Gen James S.. Fruit. The plaintiff sued for an alternative writ of mandamus through her attorney, w. L. Paul
 The case was argued before Judge Alexander last month and briefs were filed later.
 The Courts decision was brief It said in part: The Court finds the petition herein failed to state facts sufficient upon which to base a writ. It, therefore, follows that the demurrer must be sustained and it is so ordered.
 Tn view of the above finding, it is not necessary to consider at this time other questions sought to be raised"
 Injunction Is Denied
 The injunction sought by Capt. J. V. Davis and J. A. Berb against w. L. Paul and the Lewis Trap Company, to prevent them from placing fish trap on site at East Point. Chichagof Island, where the plaintiffs already have trap, was denied by Judge Alex ander in another decision handed down today. He sustained mo- ton by the defendants to dismiss the action.
 In making the decision. the Court said Neither the allega- tion of the complaint nor the proofs submitted are sufficient to support the relief demanded.
 There is no allegation that plaintiff is lawfully in possession of the trap site, or that the plaint- if is entitled to the exclusive pos session, or facts from which that can be inferred.
 Neither are there any allega- tions or proof that the defendants wrongfully or unlawfully or without right placed an obstruction on the trap site in question. In other words, both the allegations and proof fail to show any right in question or that the defendants have acted wrongfully or unlawfully in placing an obstruction thereon
 Furthermore there are no ale gations or proof to the effect that trap location, (and that is the thing in dispute) is of any value, or why it is valuable if such be the fact, therefore, there is no basis for the allegation that plaint- ifs have or will suffer great and irreparable injury and damage. Other objections were presented which might lead to similar con- clusions but it is unnecessary to consider them"
 Reverses Former Order
 In third decision made today, Judge Alexander reversed a former action of the Court, made sometime ago when the suit of Eric Paul. son against B. F. Shearer and Lawrence H. Kubley, ct. al, was transferred to Ketchikan for trial A motion to reconsider was grant, ed and Judge Alexander entered a new order for trial of the case here.
 He said the Court had originally acted "on misconception of the facts in deciding the previous mo- ton" to transfer the case to Ketch- ikan.

WASHINGTON, Mayl 21- Clar- ence Darrows' MIRA Review Board yesterday presented 50,000word critique of the National Recovery Administration, recommending the return of the Antitrust laws, and terming the MIRA watchword of flair competition" an illusory phrase.
 Hugh s. Johnson, Recovery Ad- ministrator, replied to the criticism and called the report "a superficial incorporate, and inaccurate poli- tical sounding board, and recom- mended that the Review Board be abolished.
 Created By President
 The Board was created by Presi- dent Roosevelt to determine the soundness of charges in Congress and elsewhere that little business is being discriminated against in operation of the MIRA and it's codes of fair competition.
 Refuses to Sign
 The main report was signed by DarroW and four others of the Board. The sixth member, John F. Sinclair, dissented, asserting that the conclusions in the ajor- ity were inconclusive, incomplete, and at times misleading.
 The Board criticized the MIRA price fixing plan, and declared that prices should be determined by competition, rather than regula- tion."
 Scouting the idea of fair con- petition, Darrow said that all com petition is savage, wolfish, and re- lentless," and it could be nothing else.
