FIRE ATTACKED U. S. TREASURY Flames of Unknown Origin Damaged Government Building Today (United I'rexii Service), Washington, May —(Special to Daily Democrat) —The United States treasury — world's greatest money store house —was attacked by fire of mysterious origin early today. A portion of the roof was destroyed. Damage was estimated at SIOO,OOO. This is the fifth strange file to break out in Washington recently. . Flames forty feet high shot from the roof of the treasury. An explosion occured in a room where chemicals used in making treasury blueprints are stored. It was denied that chemicals used In testing bootleg liquor blew up. The flickering flame aroused President Harding, who watched the blaze from a White House window as sparks showered |nto the grounds! of the executive mansion—just across tile street from the treasury—and a cordon of marines held back the crowd. LARGEImOUNT OF TAXES PAID County Treasurer Expects Usual Amount of Delinquent Taxes this Year Approximately $90,000 in taxes was paid into the treasury of Adams county on last Monday, the last day for the taxpayers to pay their spring installment of taxes before they be came delinquent, according to an estimate made today by County Treasurer Hite who is busy checking up the receipts. It was stated at the treasurers office today that the delinquent list this spring would likely equal the usual amount of delinquent taxes. The taxes in several of the townships were practically all paid. In French township onty four tax re ciepts were left in the treasurer's office. There were five unpaid in Preble township, and sven in Union and Kirkland townships. It will be several days before the exact amount of delinquent taxes is known. WRECK G. R. & I. Another small wreck occured on the G. R. & I. railroad, near Collett, Monday afternoon, when a coal hopper, loaded with seventy-five tons of ■seal, hopped off the track, and delaying traffic for over four hours. The freight was north-bound. Swaying or rocking of the coal car, caused it to jump the track, after it had ' roke loose from the remainder of the train and rambled along on the ties. None of the coal was spilled. The car was the third from the caboose. The south-bound local freight due here at about 4 o’clock was delayed for four hours until tlie damaged track was repaired. This freight went short ly before 9 o'clock. —Portland Sun. it has been suggested that the surface car lines in New York be abandoned and motor busses substituted in their place. d " ’• ’*l, J When Your LiOle Child cries at night, tosses restlessly and mutters in its sleep, is constipated, fretful and feverish, or has symptoms of worms, you feel worried and have your night’s rest disturbed by the little one’s crying, or perhaps because of your own anxiety.
