100000 FIRE
INJURIES 6 IN
APARTMENT

Several firemen and residents
of the Decatur Apartments, 2100
block Florida Ave. N. W., were re-
covering today from minor in
juries suffered last night when
one of the most spectacular fires
in years wrecked the top two
floors of the building and caused
damage estimated at close to
100000.
Five alarms were turned in,
bringing all available downtown
apparatus, and firemen battled
the blaze for more than two hours,
pouring thousands of gallons Of
water into the blazing building
before the fire was brought under
control.
Police reserves we're called out
to hold back a crowd Of close to
10000 persons who rushed to
witness the spectacular blaze.
Roof CollapseS
Six firemen were treated by
the rescue squads at the scene
for injuries suffered when a Sec
ton of the roof collapsed, plung-
ing them to the next floor, and
several others were overcome by
smoke.
Mrs. Elizabeth Fairall, S0-year-
old resident of the apartment
house, was carried out in q semi
conscious condition from the
smoke and taken to Emergency
Hospital where her condition to-
day was reported as undetermined.
Fire Chief Charles E. Schrom
arrived at the blazing building
on the second alarm and took
charge of the battle against the
flames.
The fire is believed to have
started in the basement, shot up
@ dumb waiter shaft and lodged
under the roof of the big build
ing which extends from Florida
Avenue to Decatur Street.
Damage BY Water
Firemen attacked the blaze
from three sides, using the high
pressure water towers to pour
water on the blazing roof.
Practically every apartment in
the building was damaged by the
floods of water which seeped
down.
Scores of persons fled from the
place following the first alarm,
those on the top floors going down
the fire escapes.
Three women, Mrs. Fairall, Mrs.
Elizabeth Bill and Mrs. Charles
Berger, were carried out. A num-
Der Of residents carried their
dogs, cats, birds and other pets to
safety.
Daniel Mitchell, colored janitor,
discovered the blaze shortly before
2 o'clock. He turned in an alarm,
then attacked the flames with a
hand extinguisher.
Gas Masks Used
AS the fire reached the roof,
which was recently tarred, thick
smoke and fumes filled the hall.
ways and forced firemen to don
gas masks.
AS the roof blazed up, the
flames were visable for miles
around, and sparks were blown
to adjoining roofs. Firemen
played water on these to keep the
blaze from spreading.
Residents on the lower floors
Of the building took time to pack
some of their belongings, but
those on the top floors fled with
nothing. Jewels valued at thou
sands of dollars were left by
their owners in the rush to escape.
A sneak thief later entered the
building, it was reported to police,
and took purse containing
more than 500.

8.-"Spud" Murphy came out of
Folsom prison after having served

two months of a 50-year sentence

not always cold to eX-convicts.
He discovered it, in fact, before
he left the grim walls of the in.

an inmate since he was committed
with several companions on
Thanksgiving Day. 1920, for an al
legged attack on Jean Stanley and
Jessie Montgomery several months
earlier.
A member of the old Howard

after all of his associates had
either died or been released, and
went straight to job waiting for
him on an intercoastal ship.
All the time he was in prison
his aging mother believed in him
and fought to have him paroled.
To the warden and other prison

Ice skating on the Lincoln
Memorial reflecting pool will
come to an end late today,
United States park police
warned skaters, following re-
ceipt of the weather forecast,
which called for rising tempera-
lures today and probable rain
tonight or tomorrow.
Today was the fifteenth con
secutive day of skating on the
pool, breaking all previous rec.
ords for consecutive skating
since it was constructed in 1928.
Although more than seven
inches of ice was measured
early today, the higher temper
atures are expected to make the
pool too sloppy for further skat-
ing.

HEAD HIT.
IN BONUS DELAY.

Charges that Commander Frank
Belgrano, of the American Legion.
is delaying passage of a soldiers
bonus bill were made by Repre-
sentative Wright Patman CD of
Texas today.
He said Commander Belgrano's
opposition to payment by the in.
flation method as proposed in the
Patman bill is the cause of de-
lay.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars,
rival organization of the Legion,
today endorsed the Patman bill
in preference to the Vinson bill,
which is backed by the Legion.
The chief difference is that the
Vinson bill would permit payment
by issuance of bonds.
Another bill was introduced in
the House late yesterday calling
for pensions for widows and
orphans of World War veterans.
1t would provide SIS a month
for needy widows, with additional
sums for each dependent child.
Representative John E. Rankin
CD of Mississippi offered the
measure at the request of the
Legion.
It is felt likely in many quar-
ters that the bill may transcend
the 2,20O-million-dollar cash bonus
wrangle before the session is
ended. Although Administrator
spokesmen decline comment, it is
reported the New Deal will gladly
compromise the bonus if the
Legion will renounce pensions, for
which it has bitterly fought.

NEW YORK, Feb. 8 GNSO.
Fay Webb Vallee's lawyers in her
suit to set aside her separation
agreement with Rudy Vallee un-
expectedly rested their case today.
The action was a surprise be-
cause Fay's attorneys had said
they would call her as a witness
in her own behalf. They did not
call her, and she was not even in
court at the time, being re-
ported i'll.
Supreme Court Justice Salvatore
Cotillo recessed court. Rudy's
lawyers said they would make
motion to dismiss the action when
court reconvened today.
There was evidence that should
the motion be Genied Rudy's law
yers would base the defense on the
phonograph records which repro
duce phone conversations allegedly

Vallee had an average net in
come of at least $120,000 a year
in 1882, 1888 and 1884, it was re-
vealed in court. The figures are
those of the crooner's account
ants, but were accepted by Fay's
lawyers, although her accountants
set the figure at $133,000 a year.
Rudy's gross income, before
taxes and expenses were deducted,
was estimated at three times as
large as the net. It includes his
personal earnings and those
through his orchestra.
Was No Angel
Thomas Sheridan, of Fay's
counsel, in redirect examination
of Mr.. Webb, asked him about
a conversation with Rudy in
Mr.. Bushels office, April S, 1888,
the day the separation agree
ment was signed. Mr.. Webb testi-
fled:
II told Rudy, You're no
angel and then he asked me,

When Mr.. Webb insisted he had

why. Mr.. Bushel said he could
not tell his reason in front of the

The industrial juggernaut-the
auto industry-muSt accept q

tire recovery pattern will be
crushed, the National Recovery
Board observed today as it pub
lished results of its 10 weeks sur.
vey of the industry.
While President Roosevelt ig-
nored virtually all recommended
tions of the study, various mem
berS of the Seven-man board
voiced a belief that the manage
ment's present victory will be
short-lived. Corrective action by
congressional or Executive direc-
ton was predicted.
Perhaps the most significant
recommendation was a declara.
tion for the formation of "a com.
prehenSive automotive labor re.
lationS board, as a means of
fostering constructive development
of improved relationships"
Capital Declines

the automobile industry as one

The survey found "all small
companies in a difficult competi-
tive position" while three com.
panieS produced 88 per cent OF
the country's output. These were

tors. The working capital of
eight smaller companies declined
from $l79,000,000 to $79,000,0OO

was told.
Complaints against working
conditions, terror and discrimina-
ton will disappear when and if

ing or other mutual aid or protec-
tlon," NRA investigators reported.
Other highlights pointed out in
the survey include:
Merchandising risks lodged
with dealers.
Labor employed on parts
manufacture burdened through
lack OF bargaining power.
UnSolved used car problem is
main source of financial insta-
bility of dealers.
Labor unrest flows from low
annual wage, inequitable en-
ployment methods and the
speed-up system.
Seniority Ignored
Seniority ignored in 1884

Independent tool and die

included:
