of eight city firemen and ohe civilian
and the Injury of a score of other
firemen.
The civilian who was killed was
Identified by his wife as William
liehr, who had left his home " to see
what was doing” and had been
caught by the falling wall.
l’rom tenants and neighbors the of
ficials were trying to elicit informa
tion which would dove-tall Into a co
herent whole, stories which have been
related of a tiny blaze suddenly turn
ing into a conflagration accompanied
by explosions, of quantities of benzine
carried Into the building only a few
days ago, of insurance Increased for
no plausible reason a month past, of
anger because two floors had been
leased to a negro church.
Arrest Partners.
I,en Unell and Samuel Moore, part
ners In (h« Feather Sporting Goods
company, located on the second floor
of the four story building, were taken
into custody and held without bond
for questioning while police sought
ethers whose actions they wish to In
r cst igate.
The building 60 years ago was the
social center of a district known as
"The Valley.” It was there that the
big “shindigs" of 50 years ago were
hdd. A watchman who turned In
the first alarm said there was a small
blaze coming from the roof. The first
firemen to nrrlve found the first floor
blazing fiercely. Almost at ones it
spread to the second floor.
Forty five minutes later came the
explosion which is being made the
renter of the investigation, followed
the collapse of a wall which carried
with it Into the basement the fire
men who were fighting the flames
from the upper floors and burying
under the debris other firemen, who
were standing in the street below.
Fire truck 12. In the heart of the
fight, lost In dead, Injured or missing
every man, but one of Its personnel.
Although the property loss was
only $250,000, the tragedy stunned the
flro department, which had not been
hit so severely since December, 1910,
when 21 firemen lost their lives. In
ability to control the flames was
blamed on the fact that many of the
employes were divided, part of their
men having been sent to flght a
stubborn fire in the union stockyards,
which did more than $500,000 damage.

York. England, April 19 —Taka the
reparation expert*’ report »* * whole
and put It Into operation all at once,
with everybody bark of It, waa the
course advocated by Prim# Minister
Macdonald In addressing a crowded
labor meeting In th* Theater ltoyal
hera today, lie urged that the allies
accept Germany's word and advocated
Its admission to the league of natlona
as another mtep for bringing peace to
the continent.
In urging unity among the allies In
applying the plan outlined by tlie re
port, Mr. Macdonald said It was clear
from that document that If they went
nn for another two yeara and carried
out the policy that had been practiced
for two or three years past, there
would be no hope of relief, no hope
of reparation and none for security or
peace. To take the chance that now
-,va* offered and put the plan Into
operation as a whole and then “go on
and finish th# Job and bring peace
and aecurity to the continent." was
what he cared about and what he waa
going to work for.
Peace of Europe.
By letting Germany Join the league
of nation* they could complete the
organization upon which he would
like to found the future peace of
Europe.
The premier aald the chairman of
the meeting had frequently used the
word "socialist.”
"He Is a very rash man," comment
ed the premier, "Does he not know
that one of the few remaining hob
gobhllns of our youth la the word
'socialist?' We have departed, near
ly all of us now. from those delightful
faiths which made u* afraid to go out
at night, and Mr. Churchill alone I*
striving to adapt Hans Andersen's
story to th# intelligence and require
ments of gray-headed or held headed
adults."
To AtoM Election.
The premier said he believed It was
his duty to carry on th# government
and keep off a general election which
nobody wanted. He saw no reason
why there should be a general elec
tion for two or three year*. It would
taka at least that time, he added, to
put Europe on a peaceful footing and
get Industrial relation* established In
anything like a normal way.
He regarded th# rise of an extreme
nationalism in Germany aa a very
great menace—dangerous to Europe
and deplorable for Germany aa well
The policy of the allies, he said, was
largely responsible for this rise of
th# German nationalist movement. He
urged that tha allies' attitude should
be to accept Germany's word, snd h#
pointed out that the greatest danger
Germany offered to Europe now waa
not| the danger of arm*, but the
danger of Industrial deterioration.
"Human Government.”
Mr. MacdonaM described hi* gov
ernment as "a human government, a
government that has made mistakes
and 1* going to make mlatake*.
"But," he went on, "It Is a govern
ment that consldera first and foremost
how It ran help undistinguished,
orderly, hoping, striving men, women
and children with human souls snd
with an appreciation of human duly
and human rights.”

America’s Reply Soothes
Washington, April !«.—Formal de
nial that h* Intended to "threaten"
the United State* when he told Sec
retary of State Hughe* that ' grave
consequence" would follow the pas
sage of the Japanese exclusion act
ha* been made by Masnnao Hanihara,
Japanese ambassador to the United
State*.
Thl* wa* disclosed tonight when the
State department made public an ex
change of letter* hetween the ambas
sador and Secretary Hughe* In which
Japan's representative said his uaa
of the phrase had been misconstrued
in the senate and Mr. Hughes assured
him. In rsplv, that the State depart
ment understood his meaning even if
the senate did not.
Hanihara'* letter of explanation, or
apology, wa* written on Thursday,
•he day after the senate had unani
mously voted the Japanese exclusion
provision Into the Immigration bill.
Hanihara Criticized.
This action by tha senate followed
nome hours of debate In which tha
Japanese ambassador was roundly
criticized by republican* and demo
crat* alike for what wai termed hi*
''insulting letter.” Senator lodge
said Hanihara a letter at beat wa* "a
veiled threat.” and Senator Moses, re
publican. New Hampshire, corrected
him to say there waa nothing veiled
about It—that it waa ”• very direct
threat” that the ambassador made in
hie use of the word* "grave rente
quencew.**
Secretary Hoghe*' reply was dated
yesterday, after the senate had re
affirmed Its determination to bar
Japan's nationals by a record vote of
171 to d.
Tn his letter Ambassador Hanihara
said he was "unable to understand '
howr the senate could have construed
hi* use of "grave consequence*” as a
threat. He assured Mr. Hughes that
neither he nor hi* government had
any idea of threatening the Unl'ed
State* and declared he had only
sought to impress upon the American
government that excluidon, of Japan
ese nationals "would eqjpt*. or at
least tend to create, an ttbhappy at
mosphere of III feeling and misgiving
over the relation* between th* two
countries.”
No Thought of "Threat."
A* a matter of fact. Hanihara said,
he believed thi* condition of affair*—
the turmoil and III feeling—to he
grave consequences."
' But In using these word*," hi*
letter said. "1 had no thought of be
ing In any way disagreeable or dis
courteous and still les* of conveying
a 'veiled threat.' '*
