The court’s finding, it is expect ed. will declare that the shaft meth od of rescue is the only feasible route to Coll|ns, will explode the possibilities of a hoax in connection with his imprisonment and will -laud the action of the militia and *fitate at Sand Cave.

Presi dent Prescott prescribed the fol lowing: Skirts not more than nine inches from the ground, el bow-length sleeves, closely-fit ting collars and rougeless faces.

FIREMAN DIES INBIGBIAZE (Continued from First Page.) ashes, one fireman is dead and fur ther lommb in accessories and trucks make a total loss of almost |3,000,- OOC as a result d a fire that swept the Kansas City motor show early today. The dead man. Captain John Crane, stxty five, the head of the only horse-drawn fire company in the city, was crushed under failing walls. The cars, shown last in Chicago, were to have been exhibited in Bos ton, March 7 to 14, and in San Francisco, February 11 to 21. Defective Wiring. The fire started in decorations in the accessories booths, supposed ly from defective wiring only a few hours after thousands of per sons had left the building. It is estimated there were 45,000 persons at the show yesterday. The American Royal was built ip 1922 and was one of the most famous livestock and horse show pavilions in America. It was sup posed to have been fireproof. The decorations were guaranteed to be fireproof, Alexander Hender son. fire chief, said this morning. While defective wiring was first considered the cause and has been generally accepted in the hours fob lowing the disaster, one exhibitor this morning declared the Kansas City show wax the first he hao ever known at which smoking was allowed. Thousands View Blaze. Thousands of persons who pressed on the fire lines were driven back by firemen and ponce. Many cars were- stored in a temporary gallery. As the flames ate into this, the cars tumbled dawn upon the seething mass of red hot wreckage below, some exploding as they fell, adding to the din. Captain Crane, the oldest active fireman on the Kansas City list, was last seen about 3:15 o’clock as he entered the -main building at the head of his crew. It was not until daylight that his charred body was dug from beneath a fallen wall, which collapsed a half hour after he ewtered the building. So great was the heat that It was impossible for the men to play hoses on the flames for more than short periods at a time. With low water pressure and a few available plugs, the fire fighters had to re treat every few minutes.

'T have collected nearly 810,000 in fines and have tried about 800 cases since I was elected mayor, a rather good business, I should say," Mayor* Smallwood deohred. “All violators of the law look alike to me, whether they be rich or poor. Some of the *fbur hundred,’ members of the so-called blue blood of our town, have made an awful howl and threatened to put me out, but I am still mayor and I intend to stay on the job- until the laws are no longer violated."

His rise in politics his had some remarkable features. -In the election last May, Smallwood, prac tically unknown, was picked by the Democrats as their candidate against Doctor H. G. Tonkin, Re publican, prominent, popular and several times mayor of the city. Pastors of the town and the reform element rallied to Smallwood, who was elected by 883 majority. On the eve of the election, small wood's opponents circulated a report that he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan, hoping co turn the Catholic and negro vote against him. “I never denied or -fttrmed tbe report," Smallwood said. His. first official act wa« to re organise the police force appointing what he termed “good, honest men” to enforce the law. The passage of his anti-loitering act was first taken as a joke, but after a score or more prominent youths were arrested and fined, bootleggers and other violators apprehended, some of them going to jail, the “joke" became a stem reality. Smallwood was bitterly assailed following the arrests made at the Cotillion Club. A prominent lawyer accused the mayor of highway rob bery. "I informed him his remark was in contempt of court and demanded that he apologize or go to jail," Smallwood said. He apologized. One of the youths arrested was the son of a prominent politician who had supported Smallwood, who was informed that the charge would have to be dropped. “I refused to do so," Smallwood ■(ild, "because hie son was no better than anybody else’s boy.” "Everybody ought to be in bed at midnight if he wants to be fit for the next day, and I do not intend to repeal the law.

Patrick, chief of air service, was examined by the House Aircraft Committee today in secret session. It is understood General Patrick was questioned concerning the bomb tests off the capes, which led JU the "warfare” between the army and navy, and charges and counter charges of trickery and unfairness on the part of navy heads and afmy filers. J- ’’'.7 Admiral W. B. Shoemaker is .to be examined later. He will deny a statement attributed to him by Colonel W, c.

Extended Work Impossible. This fact has been brought home with renewed force to the House aircraft investigating committee by the discovery that It will, be prac tically impossible for ‘the committee to extend its work beyond the pres ent Congress which expires on March 4. x The House, it has been pointed out, has no authority fio allow the committee to delay making its re port until the next Congress con venes in December, a course of action which the committee would like to adopt. The only way the life of the committee might be extended would be by the passage of a joint reso lution creating the committee into a commission. As the resolution would have to pass both House and Senate, it is hardly likely that an attempt* will be made to secure its passage. With this fact in mind, the com mittee finds itself confronted with one of the largest problems now facing the nation and no time in which to give it proper considera tion. Since early in the session hear ings have -been held covering all phases of the aviation problem, considered bosh from a standpoint of national defense as well as from a commercial viewpoint, until the I testimony now would fill several (large size volumes. How to -di -1 gest this and bring in a report that will do justice to the question is causing committee members no little worry. Proponents of the v united air ser vice, however, are entirely satisfied With the results obtained thus far, regarding the wide publicity that has been given the question of air defense as a victory »n itself. 1 Action by the present Congress, they point out, is out of the ques tion while the impetus given the I movement by the present investi gation Mnd its developments will insure the question a hearing when the next Congress convenes. j Fellowship Club Meet 1 Congressman Theodore Burton, of Ohio, will address the Fellowship Club of the Bureau of Engraving i and Printing tonight in Gavel Clut, headquarters.

Day and night sessions of the Senate will be started Monday to _ continue for the fourteen work days remaining before adjourn ment- _ In the House, Administration leaders planned to hurry through a special program of bills and '‘then to clear the legislative slate for -prompt adjournment as soon as the President has been inaugu rated for a full term. Democrats Will Co-operate. All signs of a special session disappeared today when Demo cratic leaders offered to co-operate With the Prseident’s spokesmen in the clean-up drive. They declared the country desired Congress to take a vacation. “There is no demand from the country for an extra session.” -jald Senator Robinson of Arkansas. Democratic floor leader. “It is true many legislative subjects have not been disposed of. but this will always be true. I see no occasion for a special session, and 1 do not i anticipate that ene will be called.” The demand for Congress to hold sessions throughout the spring has simmered down to a handful of Progressives and independent Re publicans. Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho has led the demand. Senator Borah's View. “I feel very earnestly that there ought to be a special session to consider agriculture .relief and Other legislation,” said Borah. “Con gress cannot possibly legislate on these subjects before March 4.” The- Senates program between now and adjournment will not in clude any bills of -major impor tance. -r. oppo sition to the bill reported in the Senate, and doubt exists whether it can pass that body. Differences of opinion concerning purchase of the Hoboken Shore Line Railway by the Port Authori ty of New York existing between Governor Smith and Mayor liylan, of New York, endanger passage of this legislation. Its fate will be decided in the Senate as the House is expected to pass the pending bill.

I telephone Warnings S.. t. In deciding whether Washington telephone rates are reason- able, an important consideration is the relation of the Company’s net earn- 3 r.l I T bv w Ings to the fair value ot the telephone properly as may De uetermineu oy K the Public Utilities Commission. I® k In the belief that the fair value of our property exceeds its ig o book cost, we submit the following table as presenting a conservative pic ture of this Company’s financial history for the past eight years: Percentage of Net Earning! to the Book Cort of the Property 1917 5.90 1921 5.50 h 1918 2£o (deficit) 1922 6.84 9 1919 2.52 (deficit) 1923. 698 1920 3.04 1924 6.90 K Average for the eight-year period—4.ls% The deficits in 1918 and 1919 and the low earnings in 1917, 1920, and 1921 were principally due to the unusual problems we had to meet during and following the war. Only in the last three years have earnings ap proached a reasonable rate and they are not excessive today. Fntare Earning! During and since the w&r, plant extensions and replacements have been made at costs far above the pre-war levels. For this reason, while the number of telephones has doubled in the past eight years the amount of telephone plant measured by its cost has trebled, SIL With no present likelihood of lower construction costs, the dollars of property will increase at a greater ratio than the number of tele phones for some years to come. Stating the situation in terms of the average dollars of property per telephone in service, the figure in 1917 was $l2O, in 1924 was $l6B and jg five years hence with the expected growth of the system, will be $193. 3.' This will mean an unavoidable increase in the expense per tele- 5| z phone for such items as depreciation and taxes. It will not be possible to Itj offset this increase to any substantial extent by reducing our ordinary ex- penses of operation, and our forecasts therefore indicate that net earnings under the present schedule of rates will tend to decrease from present levels.
