burned to the ground here this after

ing plant had been dismantled, and
each room and apartment had its
own heating unit. some freplaces.
some stoves. The blaze started in
the top floor Of the four-stry an
mex. Firemen thought 1t probably
started from either An oil stove or an
open fireplace. The building was built
more than so years ago at an approx
innate cost of $4,000.
Leased BY Minister.
The fire was slow in breaking
through the walls and flrenen and

Harpers Ferry, w. Va, joined In
lighting the fire but were unable to
save the building. Lack of water
hampered them.
They concentrated on saving Peter
kin Hall and nearby buildings. The
f1re was so intense that the firemen
had to keep wet blankets hanging at
their backs as they fought to save
the nearby places. The exterior of
Peterkin Hall, a school across the
street, was blistered by the heat and
some glass broken.
The fire attracted q huge crowd,
including thousands who were at the

$S,O0O,O00 last year, but is believed to have been responsible for some of the successes achieved by the na- tion's world commerce during the past two years. Since 193%, the for- eign commerce of the United States virtually has tripled itself.
 The foreign commerce service is closely allied to the diplomatic ser- vice, but its functions are entirely different. It is by this complete separation, commercial experts con- tend, that the United States foreign commerce service has been able to develop its remarkable efficiency.
 Have Diplomatic Status
 Although commercial attaches and trade commissioners have a liai- son with their embassies and lega- tions and enjoy diplomatic immun- ities and privileges, the commerce contact men" are commissioned only to develop and report on for eign trade and foreign trade possi- bilities. All of them are trained economists and statisticians, as well as being thoroughly conversant with

finance, business, and international affairs.
 The United States maintains 100 such agents in various business capitals of the world. The most iln- portant posts are in Latin America, London, Berlin. Paris, Ottawa, Shanghai, and Manila.
 Head of this organization is H. Lawrence Groves, whose title is die rector of foreign commerce service in the bureau of foreign and do- mestic commerce. Grove also is a member of the reciprocal trade agreements committee, which com- piles recommendation for the nego- tiation of the agreements for tariff concessions with other nations.
 Trained to Be Civil Engineer
 The director has engaged in gov- ernment commerce work since 1919. Before that he held positions with several of the largest industrial or- ganizations in the United States. By profession he is a civil engineer.
 Groves served in European posts between 1919 and 1883, making a remarkable record for establishing, commercial contacts for United

 Chief John A. Adamson searched roads near the Millville section, be- lieving the car might have been abandoned. Police in other com- munities in surrounding towns were notified of the theft by the local teletype.
 Neither Man Masked
 The description of the two men who staged the hold-up was similar to the description given in the Moran store robbery Saturday night. Neither were masked, indicating they were not known in this vicin- ity and had nothing to fear in this respect.
 It is believed they are part of an organized gang which has been working in this section recently. In the safe theft at the Sodlosky Drug Store on North Main street on Sum- day, November IA, the work seemed that of professionals but whether or not they were allied with the same gang is not known.
 The threat of the robbers that they will return Is not taken literal- ly as far as Tarnowski's store is concerned for 1t is thought probable that precautions will be taken in this respect.
 Other Attempts Feared
 It is feared however, that the men may strike at some other store here. Their boldness seems to be increase ing and apparently they feel they cannot be caught.
 Mary Lawley of Cherry street was witness of the hold-up but did not realize just what was happening until 1t was virtually over. She told police one man remained in the car while the two went in and furnished police with the marker number of the auto.
 Jean Pisterelli, sister of Richard Pisterelli, who had gone into the store to buy some things, was in ar auto across the street from the tsore and saw the hold-up car drive up and drive away, but did not know what was happening until too late.
 Police are working on both this case and the Moran hold-up now As far as Is known. no arrest had been made thi smorning.

INDIAN CRIMES
 HELD DIRECTLY
 DUE TO LIQUOR
Veteran U. s. Investigator Warns Civilization Is
 Slow Process
BY ROBERT WILCOX Limited Press Staff COrreSDOndeu

9Un1ted Press Stan C0rreSpOn0entl
 Fresno, Cal, Oct. 29-(UP)-A so- Der Indian is Q good Indian and good Indian good citizens, but give him a drink and he is no more than a primitive savage, according to J. Allison Moore special agent and veteran investigator of the U. s. Indian Service.
 T have yet to investigate sin- gle crime committed by an Indian who has not been influenced by ale cohol," Moore declared. "The crime rat among Indians varies in direct proportion to the amount of liquor they get"
 He pointed out that selling or dis posing of alcohol to an Indian Is a penitentiary offense under Fed eral law, and also 8 crime under most state laws.
 "You and I of the white race do not understand why the Indians should not be permitted to drink liQuor," Moore pointed out. "The answer is very simple"
 Civilization Not Swift
 As late as 1890 bands of wild In- dians, untouched by civilization, were roaming about remote regions of the western United States, he said. In 1S49, less than 100 years ago, Indians were murdering and scalping white men in the gold rush of that year.
 "Only 8 thin veneer of civilization is present in the Indians makeup" Moore declared. Give him a drink or two, and this veneer disappears and he reverts to his savage type and performs acts of violence"
 "The white race has been civil ized for hundreds of centuries, and its members have been consuming alcohol for at least 2,000 years. But we are accustomed to it and the Indian is not" Moore continued.
 Need More Time
 We cannot expect the same re- actions and the same responsibility of the Indian race. The Indians are not prepared for it yet" he said. 'In one hundred years we have tried to civilize an entirely uncivil- ized race. As yet we have not suc- ceeded."
 Since the Indian is fitted for few types of work, aside from agricul- ture and hard labor, the govern- ment must provide him with reser- vations on which to farm and pay hiEn millions of dollars in direct and weEk relief money, he explained.
