BUILDING BURNS AT CAMP MEIGS! Fifty Autos and Six Trucksi Destroyed as Gasoline Augments Flames. Fire, followed by a series of gaso-| Jine explosions, destroyed a large frame building and some automobiles on the old Camp Meigs site, at 5th street and Florida avenue, shortly be- fore noon to resulting in damage estimated at $250,000. More than fifty touring cars in one end of the build- ing used by the Home Motor Service Company were destroyed, and six large motor trucks. The origin of the fire could not be rmined, but it was reported that workmen in the garage we using a gasoline torch, which, it is believed, ignited some gasoline, a large quan- tity of which was said to have been stored in the building. The fire gained headway rapidly and jumped to @ number of large lumber piles nearby. When the fireme r- Fived it was seen that it was practi- cally useless to attempt to save the building and their attention was turn- ed to the work of preventing the fire from spreading. While the firefighters were working explosion after explosion could be heard as the tanks on the automobiles exploded. The building in which the fire oc- curred is owned by Sidney L. Heck- dety inger. who is engaged in the work of | ing the camp buildings. A amount of salvaged material, window and door frames, s stored in one end of the building. while the other end was used as a garage.

Something of the ratural strain Mme. Curie has undergone here, with ‘thé fatigues and excitement, seemed realized by the audience, which stood in absolute silence as the scientist walked down the aisle to the stage, accompanied by Mrs. William Brown Meloney of New York, chairman of the Marie Cur# radium fund; Mrs. Vernon Kellogg. acting chairman of the Washington committee, and offi- cials of the Interior Department. 1t was only when the party reached the stage and Mme. Curie sank gladly into a chair that the audience ap- plauded. Dr. R. B. Moore, chief chemist of the bureau of mines, explained that Mme. Curie felt herself unable today to personally inspect the new labora- tory. and that the exercises, already | forty minutes behind time, would be brief. Dr. Moore indicated that the new laboratories of the bureau prob- ably would be able to effect a great reduction in the price of helium. Given Radium Ore. Dr. H. Foster Bain, director of the bureau of mines, presented Mme. Curie with a beautiful specimen of the carnitite ore from which the gram of radium presented her yester- day was reduced. Despite her tiredness, Mme. Curie took the great piece of ore into her lap and smiled ih a pleased fashion as she fingered it. She also was presented by Dr. Bain, on behalf of the bureau, with a_jar of pped In 1898. Enough of the ore was wasted then, Dr. Bain sald. to have Secured a gram of radium. These two gifts will be sent Mme. Curie at Paris. Mrs. Meloney set at rest today the rumor that the gram of radium really was not presenied to Mpe.

Universal peace would receive its greatest impetus by the binding to- gether of the women into a social organization that must be interracial as well as international, William H. Randall of Boston told the delegates today at the morning session of the convention for amity between the white and colored races, held at the First Congregational Church, 10th and G streets northwest. Out of such a move, he sald, would come the real birth of a league of na- tions that would stand, and he urged those present to go out and start such a movement. He pointed out that womanhood was taking a great inter- est in government and the problems of the day, and this alone made for uni- versal peace, for, he remarked, woman will not kiss her husband or son good- bye and send him out to fight for a strip of land in Africa. Part of Universal Effort. This meeting in Waah port understanding and -amity®ibe- tween the races is not an igolated effort, said Mountford Mills of New York: in opening the session. It is a part of a great universal effort, he said, humanity. Neither is it confined to any two races, but fundamentally to all. He gave to the convention a mes- sage from Abdul Baha of Accu, Pales- tine. It said: “Say to lhin‘cnnvenllon that never since the beginning of time has a lc‘mit;emmn of more importance been eld. oneness of humanity. It will become the cause of the removal of hostilities between races. It will be the cause of the enlightenment of America; it will, | if wisely managed an® continued, check the deadly struggle between | these races, which otherwise will in- evitably break out.” Asserting that he wanted to sound the note of God to the convention, Mr. Randall told the delegates that with- out the favor of God all that has been said and heard at the conven- | tion would be valueless. “Living Too Much in Past.” People, he continued, are living too much in the past. bound too closely by traditions. He urged them to look forward into the light of a new day. when the races will be united in a common understanding. Peace, universal peace, he pointed out. can come only as a result of such understanding. He epointed out that it had been found that peace cannot be legislated. To have universal peace there must be a foundation, and that foundation is to put the house of humanity in order. The great temptation, he said, | is for the races to invite themselves 1 a8 races and not as nations. Peace is not a military affair alone, he said. Miss Martha Root read a letter from Licut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A.. retired, expressing his regret at not being able to attend the con- vention. stances of bravery and sacrifices on the part of colored troops. Ahmad Sohrab of California also spoke at the morning session. The convention will close tonight. Wonderful progress has been made by the colored race in this country since its liberation from slavery, Rep. resentative Martin B. Madden of Il linois told the delegates at last night's meeting. He said that the colored race had made more progress than any other race, pointing out that when liberated they were practically illiter- ate, while at the present time there is less than 20 per cent illiteracy. Peonage and lynching must not be permitted, he said, and expressed the belief that the time was near when these acts would not be tolerated. It is probable that anti-lynching legisla- ion will be passed at the present ses- sion of Congress, he said. The colored people, he said, must receive equal treatment, and laws must be executed impartially. - They should have an equal opportunity with i the whites in the race for life.

OFFCALS VN ACEFORCONTROL 0F GABLELANDING Congress Comes to Rescue in' . Battle Waged by Two ¢ Administrations. | | iRIGHTS OF AMERICAN COMPANY ARE UPHELD | Western Union and British Lines Had Hoped for Court Decision. | Hughes Is Victor. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. The dramatic fight between the West- ern Union Telegraph Company and the | United States government over the right {to lay a cable at Miami, Fla., which { would connect up with a British-owned company in controlling American com- | munication to South America, has come to an end with a victory for the govern- ment. Not by decision of a court, not by naval action, as seemed at one time necessary, put through the influence of Secretary of State Hughes, both houses of Congress have now passed a bill ab- solutely removing all doubt as to the! right of the ‘chief executive to refuse or grant permits to land cables in the United States. The measure will be signed by President Harding and will become law in a few days. % The race between the Western Union, which hoped that the Supreme ! Court’ would hand down a decision | before Congress could act, and the | government, which successfully urged Congress to rush the measure through and beat the court's decision, is at} an end. Congres has acted. Thel cases before the courts now become hypothetical or moot cases, and as such can have no validity. Basis of Company's Hope. The reason for the Western Union's | hope that a favorable decision of the | courts might be handed down before Congress could act was a supposi- tion that the United States Navy| would be unable to prevent the land-; ing of the cable at Miami if the courts upheld the Western Union, and then if the cable was once landed, it would be difficult for the govern- ment to displace the Western Union cable—it would be an accomplished fact and the courts have in effect keld that the actual landing of the cable is in itself a step that cannot be upset by executive decree. That's why the Navy has kept watch on tho Western Union cable boat in Florida waters and has re- sisted every attempt to comnect American territory with the British cable running from Brasil. Several attempts to “test the cables” have been “misunderstood by the Navy,” according to the Western Tnlon, and clashes have occurred in y of Miami. All this ten- sion ‘has been occasioned by the knowledge of the government, on the one hand, that the rights of the ex- i ecutive to issue cable permits had {never been sharply defined, and the | feeling of the Western Union that if | it once landed the cable no law could upset the arrangement without a big damage suit, for it would in effect be cenfiscation of property. Two Administrations Act. The Wilson administration fought | the Western Union at_every step in | its effort to land a cable. 'And now ithe Harding administration has | adopted exactly the stand of the pre- | | ceding administration and has gone| |a step further. It has secured the enactment of a law that will here- after give the President of the Unit- ed States the right to say whether any foreign concern can land a cable ! on American territory. | This is of vast importance as a | reciprocal right. For it is a known | fact that some European countries have not been giving American con- cerns the same privileges that Eu- | { ropean companies have enjoyed in ! this country and there has been no ! way to compel equality of treatment | {until the American government ob- | tained jurisdiction over the whole | thing. { It is not an attempt to bring about government ownership or control of | cable communication, but an effort | to prevent foreign concerhs from tak- |ing undue advantage of American | companies. For example, a French | concern_could open telegraph offices | {in the United States for the distribu- | tion of its cables, and so could a ! British_ company, but the govern- | ment of France has thus far refused to permit American cable or wireless concerns to distribute their messages | throughout France by their own sys- tem of local telegraph wires or of- | fices. { British Competition. | There is. of course, back of the dis- | pute between the Western Union and | the American government something | besides mere Jaw. It involves a ques- | tion of saving an American-owned | cable company from the destructive competition of a British company which has formed an alliance with the Western Union. The All-American Cable Company, which is owned by American citizens, operates cables to both coasts of South A:erica, but is prevented from laying cables along the Brazilian coast because the Brit- ish company has @ monopoly there. The Western Union and the British company arranged to lay a cable | along the Brazilian coast which would connect up, through Miami, with the immgense-system of zhe Western Union in the United States. This woudg~ mean that all mes- sages coll& throughout the Unit- ed States would be sent through Mi- {ami and on to South America through a British company, thus taking away awuch of the business which the All- American Cables Company has been getting from the United States be- cause it has been the only direct cable company reaching South Amer- ica. The Western Union made the con- vincing argument that American messages travel to the Azores over American cable lines, only to be connected up _with ~ British and Portuguese cables there, and con- tended that in principle this wasn't a bit different from sending a mes- sage {rom Miami to Barbados over an American cable and transferring it to a British cable line to be sent | from Barbados to Brazil an don- ward. Question of Policy. In principle there isn't any differ- ence, and from = legal point of view the Western Union has made a good case, but the question which has been confronting the government has not ‘been one of law, but of policy. Shall a British company, even though it afliates itself with an American concern, form a combination that de- Stroys an entirely American cable company and removes the advantage heretofore enjovad of having one di- reet line to SoutflAmerica over which he United Statglifgovernment, as well s American ness concerns, could send messi without fear that they (Continucd on Puse 2.

DUNDALK, Ireland, May 21.— Pope Benedict has written to Cardinal Logue, primate of Ire- land, appealing to both the Eng- lish and Irish to abandon violence and proposing that the Irish ques- tion be settled by a body selected by the whole Irish nation. The pontift aent Cardinal Logue 2,000,000 lire for the Irish White Cross. BELFAST, May 20.—Ulster, on the eve of the electicns, the first to be held under the system of proportional representation, is like a region at war. Armored cars are here, there and everywhere; lorry loads of police and military, with rifles ready for action, | come and go, and the military is! guarding the headquarters of all royalist _activities. But up to the present there have been no more than the usual clashes between rival fac- tions, which have occurred in Ulster elections for a generation, and nothing beyond this is anticipated by those in the best position to judge. However, the authorities are taking no chances. Forces are being kept ready so they can be rushed to the scene of possible disturbances, and, if necessary, prevent faction fights from developing into something more serious. For election day, May 24, further precautions are being taken, such as the closing of all licensed premises. There will be freedom of movement for motor cars having permits, a privilege which was curtailed during the last election. Unionists Are Confident. As for the results of the polling, the unionists are very confident, claiming they will win thirty-four out of the fifty-two seats. Thomas Moles, mem- ber of the British parliament for Belfast, who gives this forecast, does not believe the woman's vote will make any difference in the result. 1t is generally believed the women | will vote as their men have always voted, either Catholic or Protestant, and that the socialist vote among the workmen, which is likely to go.to the | Sinn Fein, will be offsct by Catholics who heretofore have voted nationalist, but who disagree with tie extreme policy of the Sinn Fein.. = The nationalists, who are fighting their battle on the platform of “no partition,” are rather pessimistic. They fear the combined.forces of the nationalists and Sinn Feiners will not win more than twefve to eighteen seats. = Joseph Devlin, the nationalist lead- er and candidaté for a seat in the northern - parliament, is addressing half a dozen. meetings daily, but.his chief lieutenant, at Belfast, Daniel McCann, s&id today: “Ulster still is Ulster, and all the talking in the world ‘will not change the fact.” _The women, especially the union- ifts, are taking an active part in the electioneering, holding _ demonstra- tions and canvassing. Some organ- izers have been brought from the south by the Sinn Fein, but their work is being done on the quiet. Protestant Plea for Ireland. DUBLIN, May 20.—A message to the American ' people, signed by 1,000 Protestants residing in Ireland and representing twenty-seven counties, was made public here today. It ex- presses. appreciation of the American campaign to rafse $10,000,000, and says the property damage in Ireland amounts to several times that sum. Fifty creameries have been destroy- ed, the message declared, 100,000 per- sons are unemployed and there is much personal distress. It conclades by asserting that the Irish people do not seek charity and says the money sent will be_used to restore the busi- ness life of the country to a firm foundation. The message is signed, 2mong oth- er prominent persons, by J. Annan Bryce, brother of Viscount Bryce, for- mer British_ambassador to the Unit- ed States; Dr. Douglas Hyde, pro- fessor of modern Irish at the Uni- versity of Ireland, and Baron O'Neill and by the representatives of 300,000 trades union members.
