4 MEN OVERCOM
E
N ALL-NIGHT TIRE
Acting Captain and Three Fire
men Are Sent to Hospital
From Warehouse Blaze
WRECKS N.8TH ST. BUILDING
Fire was discovered shortly before
half-past 0 o'clock last night In tho cot
ton and rag warehouse of Patrick Corr
& Son's, at 2305 North Eighth street,
and burned fiercely all night.
It destroyed the warehouse, and was
still smoking and smouldering at 10
o'clock this morning.
Four firemen wero overcome by tbo
dense masses of smoke and wero cared
for at the Episcopal Hospital. They
arc:
Acting Captain George Burns.
Hobeman Harry Hildshine.
Hosemun .Tohn Jackel.
Hoseman Frank Ritzhelmer.
All the men, after having been re
vived at the hospital, were discharged
this morning and sent to their bomes.
Tbo warehouse itself is a four-story
building, und was filled to capacity with
bales of rugs, cotton waste and similar
materials. It Is not known how the fire
stnrted, but tho first 'intimation was
when whisps of smoke began curling
above the piles of bales and drifted out
through 'the window frames. They were
visible from the street and nn alarm
was turned in and Engine Company No.
2 at ouco responded.
Firemen Are Handicapped
It beeamo evident to the firemen that
tbey could mako no headway, as tho
bales were packed in the warehouse,
row upon row, and so close to the win
dows, nccordlng to tho firemen, that It
was virtually impossible to do effec
tive work through these openings, al
though the glass sashes wero smashed
at tbo very beginning of tho fire.
There was only one thing to be done,
and Acting Cantain Burns did It. Pall.
ing for volunteers, ho made his way
through tho choking smoko, into the
building und began hauling out the
burning und smoking bales. The men
worked madly, for they realized their
efforts were the only hope of saving the
adjoining property.
Uy 11 o'clock lust night they had re
moved enough of the bales to enable
tlicm to run their hose lir.es into tho
i inter of the building and up the stair
way. It is a four-story structure. It
was whilo at this work that the men
wero overcome.
Firemen Are Carried Out
One bv one they were corrled from
the building by other firemen, who took
their places.
Meanwhile, the flames began licking
through tho windows and roof, and
soon the Interior of tho building beeamo
too hot, and the firemen were forced to
the street. They played streams of
water upon tho building front from tbo
street, and from neighboring roofs.
By this time tho entire building was
ablaze. There was no hope of saving
either the warehouse or tho contents,
and the intense heat forced tho fire
Others to keep their distance.
The streets about the warehouse uro
cluttered with tho blackened baleu
dragged from the building by the fire

of America as ho raised tho thirteen-

tho selfishness of the profit-taker and
tho opportunist may overcome our
mother-taught love of truth, patriotism
and sclf-nbnegution," ho wurucd them.
A Double Celebration
Tho Mayor spoke with simple di
rectness to tho children. It was a
children's celebration, though it wus
principal among the city's observances
of Washington's Birthday. It had a
uouDie signiucancc, as in raising the
thirtccn-starred flag tho Mavor com
memorated tho services ot Lafayette as
well us of Washington.
At tbo moment of 12 o'clock, when

Committee Cables Thanks
A cablegram was received today by
Charles W. Alexander, head ot the
Philadelphia citizens' committee, from
Adrian Aud)n, president of the Munici
pal Council of Paris, giving thanks for

thought of associating Lafayette with
tho celebration of Washington's Birth
day,'' tho cablegram said.
"On our side it is with double admi
ration aud sympathy that we recall on
this day tho great memory of the
founders of American independence.
"Tho Star-Spangled Banner, which
wo owe to your friendship, waves on
our City Hall, und, blending the colors
with our national colors, symbolizes
faithfully tho fraternity of the two
countries."
In snitc of tbo inclement weather.
the children crowded to the ceremonies
at Independence nail. They were
massed around tho steps, and formed a
semicircle on either side, which grad
ually edged in until tho children were
grouped in a compact mass between toe
building and tho statue of Washing
ton. Sang Patriotic Songs
While the children awaited tho com
ing of the Muyor they sung putriotic
songs to the accompaniment of the
police band. A large wreath of oak
leaves and fern, decorated with many
small American flags, was affixed to
tho AVasklngton statue. It was tho gift
of tho Loyal Orango Institution of
Philadelphia.
Colonel J. Campbell Gilmore, bead
of the veteran corps, N. G. P., made n
brief address to tho children while they
w ere awaiting Mr. Moore. He told them
that Washington always had loved chil
dren and wished to have them near him.
lie reminded them that Washington hud
refused to be u king in America, una
that be hud stood for the true principles

Senate Calls Up Bill
Ihe conference report on the railroad
bill, passed Saturday night by the,
House, was culled up in the Senutc by
Senator Cummins, chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee, who ob
tained unanimous consent for its im
mediate consideration. Its speedy adop
tion wus predicted.
Presenting the conference report,
Senator Cummins emphasized that the
rato guarantee section did not tako u
dollar out of tho public treasury.
"In order to prejudice it ntnong tho
people It has been termed .n guarunty
of income," he said. "This is not true.
There is a guaranty in the bill of the
standard return und ugainst deficits
continuing for six months uftcr tho rail
ways are returned to tbeir owners; but
Its necessity is 'obvious.
"The rate -making section Is not a
guaranty. Not a dollar is to bo paid
from the treasury on' account of Its
provisions, and no obligation whatever
ou the part of the government is ere
uted." Cummins Denies Guarantee
lie said the bill merely directed the
Interstate, Commerce Commission that
insofar us was practicable It should
mako rates that would yield a net oper
ating income of G'fc per cent "upon
the true vulue of tho railway property."
Tho Income would depend wholly upon
location of tho roads, the lowu sena
tor pointed out, asserting that some
rouds would earn not more tbuu 2 per
cent.
"To call it a guaranty Is to bo
cither maliciously fulse or btupidly Ig
noruut." lie declared.
Discussing the untistriko section ou
which the Senutc conferees yielded.
Scnutor Cummins said they "jielded
simply to supreme ucccssity" und that
they recognized that n railroad bill had
to pass by March 1 or "chuos would
ensue."
"With respect to the lubor provisions
of the confcrcnco report," Senator
Cummins udded, "I am utterly unable
to understand tho opposition which thpy
have aroused among labor leaders, for
they leuvo all tree men, whether em
plojes or employers, to do whatsoever
they please at any time, at any place or
under any circumstances."

HARDING OUTLINES
NEEDS OF NATION
Phio Senator Presents Con
structive Program at State
Republican Rally
ASSAILS WILSON ON TREATY
By tho Associated Press
Columbus. O., Feb. 23. Declaring
the Republican party "will welcome"
the rpsponsibility of Amprlcanlzlng the
peace treaty. United States Senator
Warren G. Hardin-:, nt u rully of his
home state Republicans here today,
held President Wilson solely respon
sible for tho Senate's delay in rntlfjing
the treaty.
"Essentially alone he negotiated the
surrender of American nationality and
still essentially ulonc, one iu u hun
dred million, he blocks its final dispo
sition," Harding said.
While Democratic senators from the
South generally have supported the
President in this stand, Harding said
tho people of the South arc for protect
ing America's rights.
Followine Jefferson, who opposed a
strong federal power, Senator Harding
declured "his moht eminent successor
and his follower of the present day
have sought insistently, ulmost ob
stinately, to rend our nationality und
emerge us as u compliant or suppliant
state in a super-government of the
world.
"But the plot failed." the senator
said, through the action of the people
in 1018 ignoring "the White House
edict." Had tho neonle obeyed that
edict." he declared, "we might today bo
democratic subjects of tho uutocratic
council of nine, with tho Old World
passing on the obligations of this re
public." Harding's American Planks
Senator Harding enumerated a num
ber of things wbich he declared tho
Republican plutform should contain.
Chief among these wero:
Perfected Americanization to be
he'd "rejoicingly American here
after." Adequate national defense, with nn
ample navy us a first Hue of defense;
world leadership ip aviatioq ; stronger
army than heretofore nnd voluntary
military training for young men.
Repeal of every extraordinary war
statute.
End of bureaucracy "crowned with
uutocracy."
Opposition to government ownership
und nationalization of industry.
Curbing of government extrava
gance and "get to thinking again iu
millions instead of incomprehensible
billions."
Government subsidy for the mer
chant marine.
Commenting upon military trulning.
Senator Harding declared himsplf
against its being made compulsory. He
suid it should be supported by the gov
ernment iu camp, in the national guard
und In tho schools and colleges und
inudo so popular und so helpful that it
would be sought as a privilege rather
thun uccepted us u duty.
Pre -War Levels Abolished
Business, the farmer und the work
ing mun all must be consulted, he said,
but dominated by none. The question
of the wage-eurncr he declared to be
tlio most pressing, however, "becuuse
there is the uttempted development of
class conciousness. which is ulwuvs a
peril to popular government."
Declaring elevated scales of life and
higher rewards for workmen to bo the
surest Index to udvaucing civilization,
Senator Harding suid there must be no
returu to tho- old pro-war levels. "It

Opposes Representation op
Peace Missions Except When.
U. S. Is Vitally Affected '
' By the Associated Press
Baltimore, Feb. 23. Herbert O
Hoover, former food administrator, de
clared today in an address at Job no
Hopkins University his opposition to
making the ratification of the treaty
with Germany un issue in the prcsl
deiitial campaign.
He insisted the Injection of argu
ments for and against reservations
would "obscuro our pressing domestic
Issues by conflict over a question fa
which the country already lias made up
Its mind," nnd udded, "It Is njy impres
sion that there is no party credit in this
position."
Hope for immpdlato ratification of tha
treaty rested, Mr. Hoover said, in tho
acceptance by the "lesser reservntion
Ists" of the proposals of tho "mild
reservatlonlsts." The two combined
could secure ratification.
"It also appears to us." -he con
tinued, "that even from the point pf
vipvv of the iebser rcservutlonlsts' tbey
will have secured ull of tho major func
tions und values of the league. If it
be put Into being und if it proves its
living value in the world, no one can
doubt that any necessary changes will
bo grunted to It by common consent as
the years go on.
"For my part, if the league cannot
prove its value under the latest pro
posals of the 'mild reservatlonlsts' it
will never prove them under the pro
posals of tho 'lesser reservatlonlsts.' "
Fears "Steady Degeneration"
Thp present danger Europe is facing,
Mr. Hoover declared, is not so much a
revolutionary cataclysm as the "steady
degeneration of the standard of living
nnd the slow decay of the forces of sta
bility." Restored productivity, the speaker in
sisted, is essential If the Allies are to
receive the maximum reparation.
"Until then wo shnll not have real
peace. It will be delayed as long at
wo hang tho treaty in the air, for we
are a part of iL
"I do. not believe the adherence of tha
American people to the league requires
any demonstration," he continued. "It
has been under discussion "for. 'eight,
months. It has been given able debate
and consideration in its every com
plexion. I believe that the majority of
our people are convinced of (lie necessity
of reservations with tlie league. Both
parties to the conflict appear to concede
this.
"The conflicting groups over the
character of the reservations have grad
ually abandoned their cxtrcmo ground
nnd have come closer and closer to a
common mind. It would appcur to an
outsider that both bides wero in agree
ment on nil the great major ideas of the
league and the major ideas of reserva
tions, but that they are in disagreement
mostly over secondary questions iu the
reservations.
"Inflnite Misery Accumulating"
"In the meantime the world is held
in suspense. Infinite misery goes on
accumulating. Forces are bet in mo
tion Unit may yield new conflicts. Al
ready the distrust and undermining of
confidence and credit In tho world has
crippled our export market."
Regarding the part the United State
will take lu the rehabilitation of Eu
rope, Mr. Hoover counseled modera
tion. "We have two extreme views nrftong
our peoplo upon the policies we should
ndopt in ull these matters. One con
tends that the ideal is isolation leave
Europe to herself; the other contends
for at least morul domination as a
mission of international justice. Many
of us vvaut neither extreme."
Assuming that the treaty would be
ratified "some day" in "some form,"
he expressed a hope that it might serve
to bring ubout a reduction of nrma
ment und the "development of engines
of conciliation, of arbitrution and codes
and courts of international justice."
"We hope for its influence in the de
struction of the economic barriers set
up before nnd since the war, which stifle
tlie recuperatiou of und the free entry
of our own commerce over the world.
Soiiip of us hope the league will not
interposp In International differences
except in the Inst stage necessary to
mitigate the growth of conflict.
Warns Against Mandates
"Some of us have no liking for man
dates of au European state, for we
would thus plunge ourselves territori
ally iuto Europe Itself, with n long train
of dangers. Most of us have no am
bitions to morul or other domination. "
Except where the interests of the
T'nlted Stntes are vltallv concerned,
Mr. Hoover declared himself ns opposed
to American membership on the various
missions provided for lu the treaty for
tho settlement of questions raised by the
war. The lending of money to alleviate
distress was also opposed.
"Our best assistance In healing En
rope's economic wounds lies iu tho pro
motion of tin grpnt processes of private
comiiKT'o." he said, "not iu loans from
our government."
Mr. Hoover's references to the peace
triuty and its ratification wus preceded
bv the presentation of statistics calcu
lated to indicate what he culled the
"heartbreaking underpayment" of
school teachers.
There arc, he said, 100,000 teaching
"Ohitlous in the public schools uow va
cant or tilled by teachers below staud
anl. The number of teachers receiving
less thun $4.10 u year ho pluced nt 120,
000. Sulury increases hud been grunted
iu !mp cuscs, bub these ranged from
tO to 25 per cent, while the cost of.
living hud increased from 80 to 85 per
rout.
"Thco is not a university in the
United Stutes," ho exclaimed, "that
is not losing, mouth by month, some of
its best ubility by thu competition of
isiinmercc."
