FIREMEN ABANDON
LABOR DAY PARADE
Bargagni Declares Lack of Funds
Forces Cancellation of
Annual Event.

The annual Labor day firemen's pa
rade must be abandoned this year for
lack of funds, it was announced to-
day by A. J. Bargagni, president Of
the National Firemen's Association.
This action is necessary as it has
been impossible to obtain the finan-
cial support necessary to conduct the
affair" Bargagni explained. In order
to attract the fire departments from
distant cities sufficient inducements in
the way of prizes must be offered, and
the National Firemen's Association,
which is a voluntary organization of
fire departments usually attending the
parade, has no means to raise the
necessary funds"
The association already Is at work
on plans to hold the parade in Wash
ington next year. however. Bargagni
said
He said requests for information
concerning the parade have been re-
ceived from fire departments in New
York, New Jersey, Virginia. Delaware
and North Carolina, and that large
parade could have been held if funds
had been available.
"As this parade and the annual con-
vention of the association bring a host
of people to Washington over the La
Dor day week end" Bargagni said, 1T
is hoped that some means will be
found to finance the parade next year.
1t is a Washington institution and

narrowly escaped being buried by fall

through hole in fence.
Six million gallons of whisky were

Chief Ben Butler fought to stop the
spreading blaze.
The six-story steel building fell to
pieces under the intense heat. AL
though the fire was under control,
f1remen said it would be some time
before the whisky burned itself out.
The rackhouse was the only build

.|CKES SAYS PROBE
SPURNS HIS FACTS
Declares He Awaits Invita-
ton to Testify at Virgin
Islands Quiz.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes told newsmen today
he had solicited an invitation to
testify before the Senate Territories
Committee investigating affairs in the
Virgin Islands, but that none had
been Forthcoming.
The Interior chief, who recently
criticized conduct of the inquiry and
was advised by Senator Tydings,
Democrat, of Maryland to seek cleo
ton to the Senate if he wanted a
hand in its activities, had been sched-
uled to appear before the committee
today
But he did not show up, and after
the investigators had adjourned until
tomorrow reporters questioned him
about the matter at his Office.
Il solicited an invitation-and asked
to be the first witness-but I was not
offered one" Ickes asserted.
Asked if this meant the end of a
truce" between him and Tydings, he
replied:
Why should it? I'm behaving my
self"
Reminded that Tydings said yester-
day the entire committee favored a
reorganization of the island admin
istration, Ickes said grimly:
Il thought the committee was still
investigating and wasn't ready yet to
draw any conclusions"
Declaring he had heard nothing to
indicate DR.. Paul NJ. Pearson would
resign as Governor of the islands,
Ickes said he would oppose transfer
of the islands to the Navy Depart
ment, as suggested in some congress
sional quarters.
Resignation Plan Denied.
Meanwhile, DR.. Pearson also de-
MED persistent rumors that he would
resign as governor of the islands. He
said no one had asked him to resign
and he did not contemplate doing so
Tydings said there would be an
executive committee session at 1890
am. tomorrow. when Eli Baer, dis
charged district attorney of the is
lands, and Paul C. Yates, former ad-
ministrative assistant to Pearson,
would be present. They are the prin-
cipal complainants against Pearson's
administration.
Tydings said the investigation would
be resumed at pm. tomorrow after
the executive session.
