DOCKED SHIP BURNS AT NEW YORK PIER German Liner Muenchen Is Wrecked by Flames and Blast. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 12.—Heeled over against the pier with her stern resting in the mud and with fire still | burning in her hull, the crack North German Lloyd liner Muenchen today a heat-blistered hulk in the Hud- son River. The fire cost two lives and caused $3,000,000 damage. Feeding upon the highly inflammable | cargo of nitrate of potash, shellac and peat_moss, the flames yesterday defied | fire fighters. Officials said th: fire un- | doubtedly was caused by spontaneous | combustion. | All but 80 of the Muenchen's 267 pas- sengers had left the ship when steve- dores discovered the fire. The 80 were marshaled ashore without knowing the ship was afire. Soon atter the flames were discovered | i four heavy explosions occurred, carrying | away the superstructure of the fire tug | ‘Thomas Willet, John R. Harvey, pilot of the tug, was | drowned. Gustave Franck, third elec- trician of the liner, was trapped im the dynamo room of the ship and burned to death. Other members of the crew &t 260 escaped, but lost all their belong- gs. | ‘The Muenchen, launched in 1922, was | the first German liner to enter New York harbor after the war. She cost $4,000,000. BLOOMINGDALE GROUP DISCUSSES VOTE PLEA| Action on Fight for Representation Is Deferred, but Comment Is Favorable. National representation for the Dis- | trict was discussed by th= Bloomingdale Civic Association at its February meet- | ing last night in the Tabor Presbyterian Church, Second and S streets, and while the body decided to defer action until the next meeting, almost all comment was favorable. The ques:‘on _of the elective school board for the District also was under consideration, with no definite action | forthcoming. A committee composed of E. S. Har- ris, Guy Tinner and William R. Faunt- Tov was selected to express opposition of the group to the propos:d plan of th> District government to establish its garage at McMillan Park. Second and Bryan streets, and to take injunction | proceedings against the District if neces- sary. lay | ‘THE EVENING ST AR, WASHINGTON, D. C..

FRXOORNNNA Canaries in Hold Of Flaming Vessel Are Rescued Alive By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, February 12— Far down in No. 4 hold, flames to the right and left of them, a majority of 7.000 canaries lived through the fire that swept the North German Lloyd liner Muen- chen. When_ firemen penetrated the hold today, expecting to find all the birds dead, they were greeted by cheerful chirps. Water had seeped into the compartment, but there was no indication that the flames or smoke had reached the feathered passengers. The crates containing the birds were quickly removed to the dock and bird sced and water supplied. ************ We Can Supply Everything to Enclose Your Back Porch We have all the necessary materials, “including W indow Tames, | windows, & Celotex.
