By the Associated Press. - LIMA, Peru, November 28.—The United States rifie team, by a scant margin of 3 points out of a_ possible 1,360, yesterday won the Peruvian cup match. Cuba was second; Peru, third, and Argentina, fourth. The winner was in doubt until the last five shots, owing to the closeness of the scores between the United States and Cuba. The Peru and Argentine teams offered little competition, scor- ing 36 and 63 points, respectively, under the winning score. Lieut. R. E. Vermette, United States Infantry, won the special individual Argentine trophy by one point.

Belching forth billowy clouds of dense black smoke as fire apparatus, with sirens shrieking, rushed to the scene in response to three alarms, the conflagration succeeded in eat- ing its way through the second floor of 1003 D street, occupled on the | ground floor by the Franklin Clothes | Shop and above by A. Kirstein, sec- ond-hand furniture dealer, and into the second and third stories of 1001 and 1001% D street, over the Ideal Lunch and Walter Luchs' newsstand. Kirstein's main store, around the corner at 408 Tenth street, also was damaged. Cafe Patrons Disturbed. In an addition to its spectacular as- pect, the fire developed an auxiliary | feature that furnished the spectators with a typical movie comedy thrill. While the flames and smoke were] shooting from the windows over the lunchroom, three hungry customers walked out nonchalantly with coffee | | mugs In one hand and pie in the | other. This was not all, either, for as the trio completed their meal on the street a fourth madn sauntered out| | of & nearby barber shop wih one side | of his face smoothly shaven and the | other befoliaged with a three-day | | growth of beard, | To climax this little dramatic stunt, | { the three lunchroom customers re- turned to their tables in hte face of | shouted warnings by firemen, daposit- | ed thelr empty cups and emerged, again to watch the flames. { Firemen Get Control. Despite the headway gained by the blaze, the firemen quickly brought it under control, running lines of hose into the upper stories with exten- slon lasders. Engineer Commissioner ! Bell, a spectator, commented on the | efficiency of the fire fighters as fol- lows: “This fire department of ours| { doesn't give a fire a chance to get half-way started.” The fire, declared by Fire Marshal L. V. Sieb to have started from a | carelessly thrown cigarette In the Kirstein store, was discovered on | the Tenth street side of the corner by C. Kaplan, a_clerk employed by Mr. Kirstein. Kaplan sounded the alarm and then dashed into the stores threatened and aroused the occu- pants to their danger. Acting Deputy Chlef Keliher, first on the scene, found the flames leap- Ing out from the story over the Franklin Clothes Shop. Two more |alarms were sent it, bringing a total of 12 engine companies and four truck companies to the scene. After the firemen had pushed away several automobiles that were parked on the corner, it took but a few mo- ments to get their hose into action on the D street and Tenth street sides of the building. Sol Goldberg of the Franklin Clothes Shop, who staged the barber shop episode and who later had fin- ished his shave and collected his | money, viewed with considerable concern a stock of the latest Fall | much disturbed by the water that The i ranges. this event. event was over 400, 500 and 600 meter Diaz of Cuba was second in windup _of the SEE ME* IF YOUR EYES NEED ATTENTION Glasses Fitted OPTOMETRIST 800 11th St. N.W.

M.

Kirstein and his men made every effort to get out their furniture from the downstairs store, on Tenth street, and succeeded in_ getting lit- tle out. Mr. Kirstein told the police that he had no insurance on his fur- niture and that he estimated his loss at about $4,000. Sol Goldberg sald that his water-soaked clothes were partly insured. 1 According to Mr. Kirstein, James O'Donnell of the O'Donnell's Drug| Stores owns the bullding. i $10,000 DAMAGES ASKED. | Suit to recover $10,000 damages has | been flled in the District Supreme | Court by Barberino Spampinato, as administrator of Francesco Spam- pinato, against the American Coal Co. and John J.
