BY THE FIRE MARSHAL


Colored folk, who now live In the
2 La story wood frame house al
30 Lafayette street, near or In the
vicinity Of what was once termed
Brandy HIP, were routed from
their beds at 2:45 o'clock this morn
ing when fire invaded the building
and forced all Of the tenants, in
GLIDING children, to flee in safety to
the neighboring houses. And the
morning was none too warm, either
The. occupants Of the second floor
were, Handy Jones and his wife
Pearly, Mrs. Jones' mother, Mrs.
Hannah Chapman, three girls, Vic
toria, II, Edith, 8 and Relah, 6;
three boys, James, 16, John, and
Raymond, 10. James the oldest, is a
student at the Leavenworth high
school: he turned in the alarm from
Box 1923.
The occupants of the first floor,
all whites, were Mr.. and Mrs
Charles Antanaitis, and two chill
dren, Joseph %, and Josephine 13
On the south side lived Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Baranauskas and five
children. Joseph, 10, Vera, 16, John,
IA, Nellie, 10. Albert, 10.
Screams Alarm
Victoria Jones and her two sisters
slept In the upper part Of the house,
directly under the roof, on the
south side; on the north side, James
and John slept. Victoria happened
to awake, smelled smoke, and heard
fire cracking. She screamed an
alarm, and at the same time hur-
ried into the room Of her sleeping
brothers, pulling out John, and
pushing little Edith ahead Of her as
she wendell her way to a place of
safety. Mr.. Jones heard his daugh-
ter's cries, and met her on the STAIR
way. James had not awakened at
this time, SO the father ploughed
his way through the binding smoke,
and eventually brought him down,
and hurried him away to call the
fire department.
Miracle
Gust how the members were able
to get out as they did is miracle
to us, as we observed the condition
directly after the fire. The old
fashioned kerosene oil lamp was
used for light in this part of the
building, where the fire started.
'Thank God, my children are
SAFE" said Mr.. Jones as he looked
Hesvenward and folded his hands
in thanksgiving for the life Of his
entire family.
Acting Chief Thomas F. Cavan-
augh and Acting Deputy Chief
Stephen A. Bloomfield responded to
the alarm, along with Engine Com
panies No. 3, under Acting Lieut..
John Hartnett, and Engine with
Lieut.. Ed Conner. and Truck Co.,
No. 8, under Acting Lieut.. James
Mcdonald. Later Engine Co. No. 10,
under Acting Lieut.. James Moran

British Rearmament

MILAN. Italy LP).-Great Britain's

through producing scarcity of heavy

BY buying up all the available steel
and several other primary products
on the world markets, Britain is

Mussolini's government to take steps
to alleviate the situation.

TRIO OF BILLS HOLDS :.
FATE OF GOVERNMENT
Drastic Change in System of Society

and New n. r. A. Pass.

have a court in which, ultimately,
more than half Of the justices will be
Mr.. Roosevelt's justices. In short,
Mr.. Roosevelt must have court 50
changed that the present three So
called liberals-Mr. Brandeis, Mr.. Cor.
dozo and Mr.. Stone-Will be a con.
servative minority.
Revolution for Society.
There are before Congress the
three measures Mr.. Roosevelt sent
his court measure, his executive re.
organization measure and his new
N. r. A. In addition, there is a
measure which he did not write but
to which he has given his approval,
the measure for control of agricul-
tural production. The sum of these
measures, if they are passed will
be revolution; not merely a revolu-
ton In our form of government but
in our form of society.
The production of farm crops would
be allocated to States, counties and
administration areas; quotas for in.
dividual farmers would be fixed. En-
forcement would be carried out by
punitive taxes on amounts marketed
IN excess OF quotas. This is much the
same as the old triple A.
Starting with control and alloca.
ton Of farm crops, there would fol.
low control and ALLEGATION of manu-
facture and distribution, at every
step, through to the final consumer,
This control OF manufacture and dis
trlbutlon is not yet provided for, but
1t Will follow with automatic GER.
tainty from control of production on
the farm.
BY the new N. R. A. there would
be control of wages and salaries in
every line Of industry. At present
the new N. r. A. provides mainly
for minimum standards, but the bill
gives power to set standards above
the minimum. Partly by powers
within the bill and partly as an in.
entable consequence of fixing mini.
mum wages, it would follow that prac.
tically every wage and salary must
be fixed by the Federal Government
Price Control Inevitable.
From the control of farm crops,
and the ensuing control Of manu-.
facture and distribution, added to
the control Of wages, it would follow
automatically that there must be con.
troll OF prices. Control of prices is not
mentioned in any of Mr.. Roosevelt's
measures, and he does not like to
have it said that control of prices will
| follow from his measures. But price
control must follow with the certainty
OF law of physics.
To carry on all this and enforce II,
Mr.. Roosevelt wants from Congress
enormously increased powers for the
executive branch OF Government,
These added powers he would get in
part through the new N. r. A. and
In part through the agricultural con-
troll bill. Yet more Of his new powers
he would get from the executive re.
organization bill
Finally, through the court reor-
ganization measure. 1t would come
about that every case in the courts
between a citizen and the Govern
ment could be heard by Judge hand
| picked by the Government and
brought to a decision fore-ordained
by the Government.

CANADA AGAIN PONDERS
ST. LAWRENCE PROJECT
Ontario Premier's Opposition to Power
Plans May Be Shifted if Roosevelt
Gains International Agreement.

Senate by President Roosevelt in 1894,
and failed by II votes.
One Of the bitches In the ratification
was understood to be the stipulation
that part Of the works on the Canadian
side of the St. Lawrence should be
constructed by Canadian engineers,
Canadian labor and with Canadian
materials. 1t was suggested in Wash
ington that Canada permit the use
Of proportion of United States labor
and material on the Canadian side.
Growing demand for power in
Ontario with steady rise in industrial
production has given the Ontario ad-
ministration some cause for concern,
and various projects for new power
developments have been talked OF.
One OF these, diversion of the Ogoki
River in Northern Ontario, where
new mines are rapidly being brought
into production with consequent in
creases in the provincial power load,
has been under favorable consider
alton. but nothing definite has. re-
suited to date.
Hepburn May Change Views
II Mr.. Hepburn can be convinced
that there is any danger OF q power
shortage within the next few years. or
that new industries would be attracted
to the province to locate along the
st. Lawrence River valley by provision
OF a portion Of the 100000 horse
power that Is estimated to be running
to waste in the international rapids,
there is a very strong possibility that
he would be induced to Withdraw his
opposition.
His attitude in this respect may be
Influenced to some extent by Federal
cooperation with him In his labor
policies and in financial assistance
toward unemployment relief. .....
Ottawa Is working toward q steady
curtailment Of relief grants to the
provinces, and has made Mr.. Hep
burns burden Is provincial treasurer
more onerous. But the Mackenzie
King government may be convinced
that much Of the pressing problem
which has cost federal, provincial and
municipal administrations $3.50, 600 900
since the depression started can be
solved by giving most of the un-
employed jobs in constructing the St.
Lawrence Seaway. In the next fiscal
year most of the federal public works
projects will have been finished, and
with Premier Hepburn,s acquiescence,
the waterway Is . ready-made new one
which could be justified as economical
to the taxpayers in reducing the
diminshing ranks Of the jobless.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Roose-
velt's intention OF doing every
thing within his power to bring
u about an agreement which will
start construction Of the st. Lawrence
Seaway "at the earliest possible date"
has revived speculation regarding
Ontario's attitude toward the project.
In recent years, while the Dominion
government of Premier Mitchell Hep
burn has been opposed on the ground
that present waterpower developments
are sufficient to meet power demands
for many years. Mr.. Hepburn has
refused to ratify the Dominion
Ontario agreement of 1892, and this
refusal makes the whole plan econom-
ically impractical for Ottawa.
II the Dominion government en-
barked on the venture in direct CO.
operation with the United States,
without Ontario's financial aid, en-
tirely Is Z navigation scheme, dropping
the power development aspect OF the
project, the cost would be increased
by $67,000,000.
Should the Dominion wish to de-
velop power as well, another 336, ,900,-
900 would be added to the cost. This
would bring the total expenditure by
the Federal Government to $142. .205.-
900 instead OF the $38,07l 900 which
was originally estimated.
This expenditure would be in ad-
dition to the large sums already ex-
pended on the deep waterway system
which includes the Welland Canal,
built at = cost OF $12S, 100000.
Share Placed at $4,000, 900.
Under the 1882 pact, Ontario would
pay for the power works in the St.
Lawrence for electrical energy which
would be available to the province.
The share of the canalization amounts
to $67 zoo, 900. which was to be in the
form Of cash payment by the prov
ince to the Dominion.
In addition to this, Ontario was to
pay for construction Of power houses
and other equipment which would
become its property. These would
cost $36, ,900, 900.
The agreement between the United
States and Canada, which was signed
simultaneously with the signing Of
the Canada Ontario pact, was to
become effective on ratification by the
both governments. Canada took the
stand that it would make no move
for ratification until the United States
Senate had given it, approval. The
