DAMAGE IS SET AT $100,000
"Net m Heroine; Says
GiHWhoWmrnedefFire
Miss Jean Dean, who probably
saved the lives of many persons In
giving the timely warning, today re
fused te be elasMfled hs a heroine.
"I'm net a heroine." she wvid.
"I won't talk about It. Sec the
pastor."
Starting in the midst et n midweek
prayer service, fire last night swept
through the Hely Trinity Presbyterian
Church, Marvlne and Keckland streets,
Legan, causing $100,000 damage.
A panic and possible less of life was
averted by the presence of mind of Miss
Jenn Dean, 5301 North Thirteenth
street. Arriving lete for the service,
she ww the church ublnie. Quietly ap
proaching the Rev. Wlllinm Hemes
lower, pastor, who was reading the
Scriptures, she whispered te him that
the edifice was en fire.
Ir. Lewer left the room for a mo
ment and returning, anneunced:
0ut quietly and without disorder."
Tbc eighty men nnd women gained
th(. htPect wltheut excitet. B Dr.
Lewer then hastened te tie basemen
whcre Mty yeUBg WCfe held,n
rehearsal for a dramatic recital.
Soen a Maw of Flames
Br the time all of the young peo
ple hed left the church the entire rear,
where the fire started from n defective
flue, was a mess of Hemes.
The rear wall had recently been part
ly demolished te make way for a new
parish house, and had been temporarily
closed with beards and tnr pseer.
In less than thirty minutes after the
last person had left flames had sprced
through the entire building. Firemen
rcsiiend'jg te three alarms were caught
many times in perilous positions en the
walls and reef when the structure
threatened te collapse.
In less than an hour after the fire
was discovered the balcony had caved
In, a mass of wreckage, whlrh ni-.iri
ever the auditorium where the prayer
meeting had been in nrmrress
i When the fire was finally brought
under control only the skeleton walls
remained. In their flight from the
burning edifice the worshipers carried
out the Bible stand, the Bible and a
score of chairs. These were thu only
things saved. '
Turn te Saving Hemes
The flames had gained such headway
when the firemen appeared thnt they
directed their main eflerts te safeguard
ing nearby homes.
One of these Is the home of Fred
erick Smith, at 4833 North Marrlne
street, separated from tlie church build
Ing by n ten-feet nrcawny. It was
slightly damaged by smoke and water.
Twenty automobiles were removed
from an adjoining garage.
"I de net think that I deserve any
sneclnl credit," said Miss Dean today.
"I did just what any one else would
have done."
Miss Dean is twenty-two years old, n
mathematician and a member of Hely
Trinity Church.
"I .arrived at the church about 8:20
e clock." she said, "and ns I walked
down Mervine street I saw smoke, bnt
never thought that the church was
afire. Then I heard some boys across
the street say: 'It leeks like a fire.' I
called te the boys te send In nn nlarm
and then went quietly te the pastor and
told him that the building was burning.
Helped Seme With Wraps
"He told the congregation te get en
their wraps in an orderly manner and
leave the church quietly. I assisted
some of them with their coats and then
we tried te save some of the movable
things.
"I ran for the Bible, but a man get
there first; se I gathered np prayer
oeokh. ur. jwer attempted te rescue
the flags, but the fire wns spreading
tee rapidly. The heat was becoming in
tense. "In less than three or four minntes
after we left the building the entire
structure was in flames. It seemed that
the fire spread ever the building all of
a suuaen. xne engines were a lime
late in arriving nnd when they did
come I guess the firemen thought the
church was beyond savlne nnd turned
their attention te a house in the rear
tnnt had taken fire."

expected, te be the final forensic battle
OTer'thVrotfriPewcr Pacific .Treaty
began ln;the'.Bente today," witn Aa Aa
mlnistratien leaders holding, their lines
intact against the onslaughts of the Ir Ir
rccencllablee, and predicting ratifica
tion would be voted tomorrow, wlth'jie

thk WirMvn nelntirtns Committee and
accepted by President Hardin., .
' Enough votes were pledged, the lead
ers said, te reject" nil ether' proposed

Insure the necessary two-thirds for
final ratification. '
The ratification vote is te be taken
at the outset of tomorrow' session,
under the unanimous-consent agree
ment, which limited debate today te
one hour for each Senater nnd stipu
lated thnt discussion shall end entirely
with today's adjournment. .
Anether series of prepared addresses
were delivered nt the outset of the ses
sion, which began nn hour earlier than
usual, te gire nn opportunity te all
these who desired te speak.
Voting Expected Before Night
It was the expectation of the lead
ers that votes en several of the pending
reservations would be taken before
The debnte was opened by Senater
Celt, Republican, Rhede Island, who
favored ratification with the commit
tee "no alliance" reservation, framed
by Senater Brandegee, Republican,
Connecticut, after a conference with
President Herding.
Senater Celt said that in his opin
ion the treaty without the reservation
would impose a "moral obligation" te
use force.
The Brandegce reservation pro
vides that the treaty does net commit
the United States te armed leree, nor
te any alliance or otfigatlen te join
in defense of ether belligerents.
Urges the Safe Way
Replying te criticisms thnt the treaty
would lnvolve the United Stntes in Far
Eastern questions, the Rhede Island
Senater argued that the quarrels of
ether nations in the Pacific "inevitably
would involve the pence nnd security of
the United Stntes," whether there is a
treaty or net.
The safer way, he said, would be te
tnlte m nnslften where it would be pos
sible te old In amicable adjustment of
such questions.
"There is clenrly no contractual ob i i
gatlen te go te war." said Senater
(jolt, "but 'I cannot resist the con
clusion that there is nn implied moral
obligation te use armed force if it should
be found that such force is necessary
te' meet tbc exigencies of the particular
situation'.
"I believe the Brendegee reservation
should be adopted, thus making it per
fectly certain that the treaty Involves
no commitment by the United States te
the use of armed force."
