As Chief Kennedy and Bernard | Lynch, Fire Prevention Bureau | Chief, began their investigation, they declined to make an estimate | of the damage. Unofficial sources said it would be about $20,000. { Lieut. Dan O'Neill said he believed the fire was of incendiary origin. | At 1:20 a. m., Charles Miller, a | mechanic in the Central Transfer Co. garage at 1402 Kentucky Ave. stepped to the garage's door for a breath of air. Across the street, he saw the Tom Shroyer horse barn enveloped in flames that leaped high into the sky. Mr, Miller set out to warn resi- | dents in the vicinity, He ran to a tavern called “The | Trading Post,” 1359-1361 Kentucky | Ave. which is joined to one wing | of the U-Shaped horse barn in the | rear of the lot. The other wing | joins a residence, with a vacant iot between. At the tavern, Mr. Miller warned Tom King, an employee, who ran more than a block to the home of Mrs. Frances McQuiston, tavern op- | erator.

Roomers Flee Flames

As a waitress fled from the tavern, Mr. Miller ran to the home of Mr. and Mrs, Albert Bell, 1367 Kentucky Ave. He awakened them. They aroused five roomers in the house, and all fled before the approaching flames. Mr. Miller then called firemen. | Eleven companies responded and fought, the blaze through the dawn and until 8 a. m. When firemen arrived, they found | the horse barn—a one-story wooden structure—nearly consumed. They concentrated on saving the other nearby buildings. All but one of them were built of wood, and | separated by a scant 10 feet of | space, The flames, whipped by a light wind, leaped and roared through the neighborhood. Before firemen could bring them | under control, they had damaged a | grocery and a brick home, destroyed | one tavern and damaged another, | destroyed the Bell house, and wiped | out two other homes and a pool hall. The barn, meanwhile, was con- | sumed and five horses and two mo- | tor trucks there were destroyed. The grocery operated at 1345 Kentucky Ave. by Harry Badger was damaged in the rear.

Home Is Wrecked

The home of Ora Burkhart, which | is attached to the other wing of | the barn, was ruined by the flames and only the scarred brick walls remained. Mrs. McQuiston's tavern was de- | stroved, as was the residence of Mr. Shrover, who lives above the tavern. Another tavern, operated at 1397 Kentucky Ave. by Pete Chekoff, was damaged slightly. The Bell rooming house was destroyed. along with two other homes belonging to Mrs. Ella Lyles, | 1347 Kentucky Ave. rear, and Mrs. | Ella Henning, 1420 Nordyke Ave. ! rear.

There's nothin’ in the world that spurs a man’s ambition like the responsibility of children. Sometimes a wife, alone, can't make a man settle down but when he sees those little children that are dependent upon him, he'll drop his wild ways and work his fingers to the bone.

Green and Lewis Agree In Opposing Regulation

By MAX STERN Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 19.—While battling each other for leadership of the American labor movement, President William Green of the A. F. of L. and Chairman John L. Lewis of the C. I. O. agree on one thing—that labor can work out its destiny best with a minimum of legal interference in its relations with employers. It's not that Mr. Green dislikes Mr. Lewis any less. He simply hates Government regulation of unions more, / “Do you think.” the reporter asked him, “that the Wagner act should be amended?” Mr. Green: “Not in fundamentals. I am not satisfied with its administration in some ways. We have proposed an amendment taking away the board's discreticnary powsele “units for

that if a craft or other group asks that it be made the unit the board must act accordingly.”

“Do you favor the Vandenberg

amendments to ‘balance’ the Wag- |

O. 1 refer to the Communist influences, to sit-down strikes, illegal seizures of property, violations of contracts, the shutting off of power and other such acls of irresponsibility. Michigan Labor Act is another reaction to these tactics.” “Do not such acts require regulatory laws?” Mr. Green: “No. What is needed is more responsibility by employers and employees, more mutual { nd tole: y point tg

the related fight over a successor to the majority leader's post may hinge on the senatorial conferences which have been going on aboard the train. Governor Lehman wrote Senator Wagner that he deemed the court bill contrary to the interests of the people. Governor Lehman said he wrote the President ‘several months ago” he believed enactment of the bill “would not be in the best interests of the country.” Since then “my convictions have become strengthened.” The letter added: “From the broad standpoint and | public interest, whatever immediate | gain might be achieved through the {proposed change in the Court, | would, in my opinion, be far more | than offset by a loss of confidence in | the independence of the courts and

Two Maneuvers Possible

Governor Lehman previously had so completely indorsed the Roosevelt Administration that Republican leaders have termed his regime the “Little New Deal.” In addition to the Court fight, the Democrats will meet in caucus Wednesday to choose between Senator Harrison (D. Miss.) and Sen-

to the post of majority leader. Two strategical maneuvers were suggested in connection with preparations for a Senate vote on the Court Bill: 1. That the Administration, im- ! mediately after opposition motion | to recommit the bill would move to lay that motion on the table. The recommittal motion is debatable. The second motion is not. Thus an immediate vote would be forced. 2. That some friends of the President, who have nevertheless opposed the Court Bill, might propose that the measure be sent back to the committee with instructions that a compromise settlement be drawn up. FISH RESUMES FIRE ON F. D. R. FAMILY (Cartoon, Page 10) By United Press WASHINGTON, July 19.—The Congressional Tax Avoidance Committee planned today to lay the foundation this week for tax loop-hole-closing legislation designed to prevent $100,000,000 in annual revenue leaks. The committee found Rep. Fish (R. N. Y) continuing his sharpshooting at members of the President's family. He demanded in a letter to Secretary of Treasury Morgenthau, that the Treasury repudiate a ruling by Assistant Attorney General Robert H. Jackson through which Mrs. Roosevelt avoided taxes
