Lumber Yard “Damaged by $14,000. 7 Ball Park Menaced. . A four-alarm fire broke out in the Fisinger Brothers' lumber yard, just north of the Washington Base Ball Park, last night, drawing betieen 20,000 arid 30,000 spectators, causing approximately $14,000 damage, and tying .up .transportation ,on the Cieorgia avenue-car line for neasly’an Washington w entering & on the brilliantly illuminated sky and erroneous guesses ands trooped in steady streams afoot and hundreds came in automobiles-to the radius of the fire, jumming streets on the south, north and west-of the blaze four and five blocks away. Thought ‘Ball "Park “Afiré. Many thought the base ball park was going up in flames they ap- proached. Apparatus responding on the fourth alarm had great difficulty in getting to fire, plugs because of the crowd. The canse of the fire s believed by w. G of the lumber and mill plant, to have been a cigarette or cigar butt, tossed from the packed grandstand at the " base ball park vesterday afternoon while Walter Johnson was trouncing the White-<Blephants- from- Philadel: phia. ¥ The property destroved consisted mainly of & shed in which-were piled <inished, moldings. . and _ mill.warked jumber in anticipation ‘of Spring building in Washington. Mr. Eising- er estimated that $15,000 would cover the 'umber in the shed, which was destroyed. The” damage* was not complete to the lumper in the yard end was fully covered by insurance. Interesting Side Angles. In its whke the fire brought sev- eral interesting side angles. - For instanee. newspaper men clumbered over the ¥ldes-ef the fences surround- ing the pavilion runway to the base ball park and were viewing the flames with a policeman from the ninth precinct from vantage points, when suddenly a well directed stream of water ricocheted from one of the piles of timber and caught several full in the fage. They emerged all wet. Photographers setting off flash- lights from nearby timber piles were drenched by streams of water di- rected at them just after the “boom” of_the flash. The damage to the base ball park was mainly centered in the awnings and portion in the rear of the pavil- jon. There was mever serious menace to the concrete stands of the base ball park, although the situation was ticklish for a while with respect to the lumber in the Kelly Jumber yard. The absence of a high wind, pres-. ence of sufficlent apparatus and good water pressure brought the flames under control within an hour after the arrival of the first apparatus. Among officials attending the fire were Chief of Police E. B, Hesse, who was rushed to the scene in the head- quarters automoblle piloted by Police Chauffeur Hugh Robey; the inspectors of the Police Department and Dr. Daniel L. Bordlen of the visiting staff of Emergency 'Hospital, . who was ready for any first-aid treatments, Luckily, nons. of the later .became necessary. The labors bf. the firemen were not confined aloné to the Elsinger lumber yard last night. During this fire and until 3 o'clock this morning they were kept on the' jump answering three false alasms, a call from a drug store at No. 2 G street, an explosion in a gasoline tank car on a railroad siding at Sixth and V streets north- east, a fire in a taxicab and finally one in a dump at Wisconsin avenue and R street. Man Severely Shocked. Daniel Taylor, a colored employe of the Gulf Refining Co., was severe- ly shocked when one of the company's fank cars exploded. He was given first aid at Freedmen's Hospital and later transterred to Galliiger Mu- nicipal Hospital for additional treat- ment.

I thank my friends for their confidence in me. I am content.” Borah Voices Opinion. Senator Borah of Idaho, chairman of the forelgn relations committee, who led the fight in the Senate against American- adherence tc the World i Court, said today: “Illinois, has .indexed the sentiment this uocntry against the league court. It is easy to define ,here in | Washington, to discuss here, the force and effect of reservations. But before the people this is a league court, controlled by the leag In" other words, they exe cise common sense. It is another in- stance of leaders underestimating the intelligence of the voter. The people of this country are becoming impa Tar ‘we can get into European politics without letting the people know it. “The Republican party would do well to consider getting back to the policies and principles upon,which it was first nourished, and under which it acquired its leadership and secured the confidence of the American people. “The campaign against the court will go forward as promised immedi- ately after the vote in the Senate. We have no intention of ceasing our ef- forts until the matter is settled in the forum from which there is no ap- peal—untll..qt. Is settled and settled wIpImE Reed Blames Court Vote. Commenting _on _the result, Sen; ‘ator Reed 6f Mlissd bittef eneiny of the World Court, said: “The result in Illinois can be attrib- uted to Senator McKinley’s vote for he World Court. Personally Senator McKinley 1s popular in the Senate and in his own State. His campaign was abundaptly financed and his forces well organized. He appealed on the basis of his regularity as a Repub- lican and vigorously protested loyalty to President Coolidge. ar ntgnaturally would be very ffective in a strong Republican State like Illinois. Clearly the voters are determined to adhere to the policies of Washington. They will not toler- ate any interference with American rights by foreign powers. And they have no_ desire to_interfere with the uc sponded to & call, but found the ex plosion did no other damage. Mrs. L.

It is be- | lieved the fire resulted from spon- | taneous combustion. Damage to the building and stock was estimated at 200. The three false alarms were turned in between 9:48 and 10:40 o'clock last night and hampered the work of the firemen at the Eisinger yard. Maj. Hesse and Fire Department officials are extremely anxious-to apprehend the persons responsible. Substantial rewards will .be paid for information leading to thelr arrest. -The first of the aiarms was sounded from Eighth and N streets.

The Armerican Association Against the Eeague World 'Court was instru- mental In organizing the fight against enator McKinley in IlMnois and in jolning the issue on the court. It ar- ranged forthé speeches of Senators thousands of pieces of anti-court liter- ature into the State., “We will not stop with Illinois,” said Mr. Schreiner. “We are going to c ry the cafipaign into towa and every State in which we can make the court an issue. We shall arrange to send speakers of national prominence to the 4id of Senator Brookhart on the anti- court issue and we shall flood Towa with_literature praising the stand of thé Senator against the court.

Bren- nan, Democratic boss of Chicago and Democratic national committeeman of the State, was a foregone conclusion, ratified by the vote taken vesterday. Mr. Brennan will run for the Senate on a wet platform. He hopes for bi- partisan_support. However, Illinois is overwhelmingly Republican, and the Republicans there have shown in the ability to get together in elec- fter they have finished their fight Smith and Senator M Kinley were indorsed by the Anti- Saloon League. Col. Smith, therefore, would have the support of the drys against Mr. Brennan. The election of Mr. Brennan over his Republican op- ponent would be little short of & miracle in view of the dominant posi- tion of the Republican party in the State.

Brennan, Dem- ocratic chieftain -and.an avowed wet, who distanced his two rivals by an overwhelming vote. s J Senator McKinley's vote for Ameri- can adherence to the World Court was made the chief issue of Col. Smith's campaign, and the latter's aidey attributed his victory to his stand against the measure. .It was the first opportunity voters have.had to register their feelings toward the proposal since anti-World Court forces started their campaign to de- feat Senators who voted for . ad- herence. “Court Foes Speak. Senators Reed, Borah and Shipstead, all foes of the court; opened their cam- palgns in Illinois. Secretary of Com- merce Hoover of the administration forces also spoke here, but made no reference to the question. Several days ago former Secretary of State Hughes made public a statement asking sup- port for Senator McKinley. Senator MeKinley returned to Illi- nois from Washington to defend his vote on the ground of party regularity and in support of President Coolidge. The State-wide primary yesterday, which was marked by the death of six persons in riots in Herrin, Il and by considerable shooting and dis- order in Chicago, saw victory for a boxing bill in this city and in several downstate municipalities. Chicago also approved bond {ssues totaling nearly §20,000,000, one of which provides for a zoological park. Without boxing for u quarter of a century, the victory may mean the holding of the Demp- Wills heavywelght title match here next September. Incomplete réturns ifidicated the defeat of Mrs. Bertha Baur, North Side soclety woman, who opposed Rep- resentative Fred A. Britten for the Republican nomination for Congress in a fight in which each vied to tell which was the wette: Senator McKinley already was on his way back to Washington when the trend of the vote*forecast his de- feat and no statement was issued from his headquarters. Allen F. Motre, a leader of thé Smith forces, declared the eutcome “a. great vic- tory for sound Republicanism.” Bren- nan predicted ‘“a sweeping victory for the entire ticket in the Novem- ber election,” and his supporters i terpreted his easy win as a “decisive ‘indorsement of his. platform for modi~ fication of the dry la _With more than half of the pre- cincts of the State counted, early today Col.

In the latest tabulation, Brennan had polled 108,917 votes against 15 James T. McDermott, Chicago, nearest competitor.
