agent from the Federal Bureau of

The suspect said he lived in Cleye-

Police said the mans account of

HULL RAPSCR|T|CS
OF SOVIET TREATY
"Paid Propaganda" Is Re.

Commercial Pact.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull said yester-
day that criticism of coal trade fea-
lures in the new United States-Rus-
sian commercial agreement was paid
propaganda"
The Secretary directed his comment
at a statement by Louis Madeira, eX-
ecutive director o. the Anthracite In
stitute, representing the Pennsylvania
hard coal producers.
Madeira had declared permission 10
Russia to import tax free 400 900 tons
Of coal to this country during the
next II months would cost Pennsyl-
vania anthracite miners Sl,200,000 a
year in wages and that anthracite
producers would lose s2,300,000.
Hull said the statement was so
wholly misleading" that lit is per-
haps due the public that this typical
instance, designed to mislead the pub
lie by omitting the chief facts, should
be exposed.
The Madeira statement, Hull con-
tended, sought to create single i'm
preston that for the first time 400
900 tons of Soviet coal will come into
this country as a result Of the agree
ment. He said there have been pre-
vious imports, which in 1885 were
more than 100000 tons.
During the 10 years ending in 1885,
Hull said this country imported $751;
$50 900 Of anthracite and bituminous
coal, but exported s72O,620, 900 worth
during the same period.

budget. Mrs. Doyle said the fire in
spection report emphasized the very
real need" for the new building.
Crane, directly in charge of school
building affairs, pointed out at the
Weightman School yesterday that it
would be practically impossible to
make the building entirely fireproof
because Of its wooden floors and stair
ways. The two-story, iointed brick
structure at TWenty-third and NJ
streets is 81 years old.
The first floor Of the Weightman
Builolng-actually about half a story
above the street level-has been de-
voted 70 crippled children for some
six years. Special desks are provided
for them. The Health Department
conducts a treatment room adjoining
the class room. Cots are provided in
another room for rest periods. Their
meals are prepared in special
kitchen.
The crippled children are taken to
and from school in buses, which call
st their homes Those unable TO walk
are lifted by the bus drivers TO wheel
chairs on q wooden ramp, which runs
from door on one side of the build
Ing TO the ground. There is a narrow
hallway leading from this door into
the class room.
The fire danger has grown with
rapid increase in enrolment of the
crippled children during the last two
years, it was pointed out. The en-
rollment Of 81 last term included
nearly dozen who could not walk.
The fire inspectors noted that the
only way they could be removed from
the building was to be helped into
wheel chairs and through the narrow
hallway onto the ramp. In an
emergency, it was feared that a lam
in this only exit for the crippies might
trap them.
Crane considered the possibility OF
providing an additional ramp to speed
lip the evacuation, but was told bV
Fire Marshal Calvin G. LAUDER that
while this would improve the situation
It would not take the place of a fire.

not consider any of the conditions

is getting action started" LAUDER
said.
Three of the schools cited as need
ing additional fire escapes to comply
with the District aw-Jefferson Junior
High, Force and Lincoln Schools
were among those recommended for
abandonment in 1908 by special con-
gressional commission. All of them.
except Eastern High, are more than
so years old, and are scheduled for
replacement under the ive-year build
ing program.
1t was pointed out that the District
law regarding fire escapes on places
of public assembly was strengthened
IN 1888. Although buildings con-
structed since then must comply with
it, compliance is not strictly enforced
for older buildings unless some espe-
cially hazardous situation is brought
to light.

place some Of the buildings cited for
emergency improvements in the
fire department report.
Mrs. Doyle approved final plans yes
terday for construction of a new voca-
tional school for girls to replace the
old Dennison School, which was built
in 1884. Contracts probably will be
let in September. The 1887 and 1898
appropriation acts provided 1896 900
for its construction. A report last year
on the f1ve-year buildign program by
DR.. Ballou said the present building
