NURSERY FOR THE !. BLIND BURNED
Located Near Pennington and Had Very Little
 Fire Protection

Pennington, Conn, Jan 25-(U. P. P.)-Investigation was started to- day into a fire which destroyed the nursery of the Connecticut insti- tute for the blind last night. en- dangering the lives of 20 blind and crippled children.
 Attendants carried the partly clad children to safety in sub-zcro weather and had barely cleared the building when the 50-year old frame structure burst into Q mass of flames and collapsed.
 The fire, was discovered in a basement closet by janitor just after the children had been put to bed. Nurses wrapped them in blan- kets and carried them to nearby homes and later to Hartford where they were cared for at an institu- ton. ,-
 Failure of a fire whistle delayed recruiting of volunteer firemen and apparatus was summoned from Unionville. By the time help ar- rived the building was doomed. Otto Christiansen, a volunteer fire- man, was injured when a hose broke under the pressure of the water and struck him in the back. Intense cold caused frozen water lines and Pennington firemen weIe compelled to chop hose out of the ice when the flames had been ex- tinguished.
 The building had been used by the institute for 30 years and the last general assembly session re- fused a $50.000 appropriation to make 1t freproof. The nursery will be removed to the Blind Institute at Hartford where a survey has been completed for erection of q Kindergarten school.

SIR JOHN SIMON WILL PROSECUTE
British Foreign Minister Is Not Connected With
 Arms Makers

London, Jan 25 - (U.P.l -Sir John Simon, foreign minister, to- day repudiated allegations that he was financially interested In arma- ments and announced that he would prosecute anyone who here- after repeated the allegation.
 The repudiation came at a time when Great Britain is preparing for an arms Investigation as have other counties since the United States senate investigation was be- gun.
 Sir John made 1t through his at- course of the settlement of Simon's suit for islander against the Rev J. Whitaker Bond. Methodist minister of East Dereham.
 Bond, addressing a church as- senlblage last November alleged that simon was opposed to a ''peace ballot of the League of Nations union because his money is invested in armaments firms"
 To-day Simon consented to set| clement without damages or costs when Bond wrote an apology, ad- mitting he based his allegation merely on hearsay.
 ''Sir Simon does not possess one single armament investment in one single armament company" Bir- kett said.
 He suggested that the islander may have originated in the fact that between 1929 and 1892 Simon had 1.600 shares in the Imperial Chemical Industries. He sold the shares immediately. Birkett said at loss--in February 1893 when the foreign office received an appli- cation to license export of cart ridges by a firm which simon then learned, for the first time. was 8 subsidiary or in some way con- nected with Imperial Chemical.

NO STUDENTS OF
 HIGH SCHOOLS IN COMMUNISTS
Officials of All Three Aca- denies Deny Charges
 That Were Made

A check of the three public high schools today failed to disclose any student communist organizations despite charges made public by the Americanism committee of the first district of the American Legion state department.
 A statement issued by the con- mittee fiatly contradicts the sec ton of the annual report of the state board of education which de- nies rumors of communist activi- ties in the schools. Members of the state committee contend that in many Connecticut cities there arc branches of the Young Pioneers, a communist organization for school children which give preliminary training in principles of commit nism.
 Crosby Wilby and Leavenworth high school authorities all denied the existence of this organization or any similar society at the schools. At Leavenworth, previous to the state elections, groups repre- senting all acknowledged political parties were organized for discus- sion purposes but other thaA this there has been no approach to political organization of any kind as far as can be learned.
