By the Associated Pross KA S CITY, Mo., February 14. A new American Royal Building will arise soon from the ruins of that which was destroyed by fire here early today. Flames burned hundreds of expensive motor cars, tractors,| trucks, airplane and accessory ex-, hibits of the annual automobile sho held in the building, and took the life | of a veteran fireman. Directors of the American Royal decided for immediate construction at a meeting today. Estimates late today reduced the loss from $3,000,000, the early esti- mate, to $£1,074,660, all of which was reported covered by insurance. Latg| computations indicated that losses in motor cars, busses, tractors, trucks and airplanes would aggregate ap- proximately $774,660. The cause of the fire,remained con- jectural tonight. It was known to have started in flimsy portions and to have spread with rapidity. Specta- tors had left the building only an hour before. Cross-circuited wires, an accidental cigarette or a macth were suggested as possible causes. Capt. John Crane, veteran fireman, died in the burning building with a hose locked in his arms. He was trapped by the suddenly spreading | flames.

He belleves a great deal of freedom should be allowed during the junior and senfor years, with few set courses and much supervised reading. This closely resembles the Cambridge style.
