FORBIDDEN CITY CONTRACTS FOR MODERN LIGHTS American Firm Gets Order for Electric Installation in Tibet Capital. By Vnitrrt Prrss LONDON, March 15.—A scroll of rice paper, two feet long and four feet wide, dated “The 21st day of the fourth month of the water bird year," was in the hands of the General Electric Company today as a contract to instal electric lights in the ancient forbidden city of Lhasa, Tibet. It is one of the most inaccessible cities in the modern world For a thousand years, this fount of Buddhism, where no railways penetrate and which few white men have seen, has been illuminated by age-old lamps and primitive candles. Within a year all its buildings, from the smallest homes to the palace of the Dalai Lama are scheduled to twinkle with modern electric light bulbs. Vast quantities of equipment already are reported being transported from the nearest rail head to Lhasa, over the rocky and perilous routes than can be traversed surely only by oxen or by Tibertan porters. The religious orders, which virtually rule Tibet, had to be persuaded to give their permission to install the equipment. The Dalai Lama himself, it is said, was the strongest influence towards modernization. He diM, however, before he could see the lights he sanctioned. Included in the order to the American firm were six thousand yards of heavy cable and fifteen thousand yards of lighter cable. One stipulation, in the contract, described as one of the strangest documents ever received by a modern firm, was that the equipment had to be laid down at Calcutta in cases weighing not more than eighty pounds each. This was because of transportation obstacles. This necessitated reducing the main cable to twenty-yard lengths, requiring more than three hundred cases for the transport of cable alone. Experts are waiting at Lhasa to put together the “jig-saw puzzle" provided by the enormous number of boxes. WASHINGTON VISITORS TO HAVE NEW GUIDES U. S. Revises Information Bureau for Their Convenience. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 15.—The government is opening anew information bureau to help the thousands of visitors to Washington find their way among the maze of federal departments, administrations, boards and alphabetical agencies. Thousands of business men find it necessary to visit Washington in connection with the countless programs of one sort and another launched under the new deal. The bureau will supply information on just what agency deals with a particular question and tell the visitor where to find it. With President Roosevelt trying to eliminate lobbying, some view the organization of the new information bureau as an effort to supply gratis some of the information which business men have paid lobbyists in the past.

U. S. WARSHIP IS TOTAL LOSS AFTERJLAZE 111-Fated Gunboat Towed Toward Hongkong; All of Crew Safe. By United Press HONGKONG, March 15. —The , United States steamship Fulton, gunboat, almost a total loss from a mysterious fire which swept it from bow to stem, was towed tow r ard Hongkong today from the pirateinfested waters of ißias bay, where British warships and merchantmen

had rescued its crew of 180 officers, sailors and marines. Eight seamen from the ill-fated gunboat required hospital attention for burns w-hen they were brought here by the H. M. S. Wishart, British destroyer, and the steamship Ehinan, a merchant steamer. Their burns, however, were not serious and responded readily to treatment. The Fulton was on pirate patrol in the Bas bay section, forty miles north of Hangkong. when the fire broke out. It was believed that oil had ignited in the vicinity of the Diesel engines with which the craft had been refitted. The flames spread rapidly, feeding on oil which was scattered by the explosion of two cylinders. Water from emergency hoses failed to quench the fire. The flames attracted the attention of the ships in the vicinity. They raced to the Fulton's £*de. The Wishart, first to arrive, daringly drew alongside. Sailors leaped from one ship to another. Others were picked up from boats. The Wishart took the greater number of

the crew aboard. The Tsinan picked up forty-nine men. United States navy officers praised the heroism of their rescuers. The Fulton still was smouldering when the navy yard tug Poet Chaucer took it in tow. Officers of the British destroyer Whitsed boarded the damaged vessel and found that the fire had swept through its entire interior, gutting the craft amidships. Meanwhile. United States navy authorities dispatched the United States steamship Ashville from Shanghai to replace the Fulton on patrol duty. TAX ADDRESS SCHEDULE C. A.
