Correspondent Washington Jan 4 17 Trunks are being packed by some 75 persons who will sail on the George Washington next Thursday as the delegates and official staff to the London naval conference Twentyone young women have been ransacking Washington shops for new lucky stenog and clerks selected to han dle the voluminous memoranda which such an important confer ence always spawns In addition several wives will j travel in the party headed by Mrs j Henry L Stimson wife of the sec i of state She is taking a j truckload of trunks and packing cases The have leased a country home and a golf course just outside London Warren House at they can be free of the noise and con fusion of the conference scene Not only will they entertain delegates there but the retreat will give Sec Stimson a

Secretary of Navy Adams Senator Reed Sena tor Robinson Rear Admiral Willi am V Pratt and Rear Admiral Hilary P Jones Despite the large feminine con tingent which is sailing on the George Washington the London conference is to be no pink tea af fair Washington is universally of the opinion the conference will be a hard battle Prime Minister MacDonald who is having troubles with his domes tic policies is staking his prestige and political future on the confer 1 ence success would help him ma in the general election which he may face later in the year President Hoover likewise has much at stake Success would be invaluable in offsetting the embar the tariff fight are ex to cause in the al elections next fall Against the forces 01 these two leaders of the chief sea powers is pitted the almost singlehanded strength of French Foreign Minis ter veteran bearing the marks of a generation of hard po fighting As premier he fought off an agreement to restrict submarines at the Washington arms conference His strategy prevented the con ference from limiting auxiliary craft This time he is the lieu tenant of Premier Tardieu who is even more aggressive in his de mands for France than Briand Together they will face the Anglo American pressure for general lim of cruisers submarines Their fencing against this drive will be one of the spectacular fea tures of the conference many here believe Whether President Hoover must swing his big stick to control do propaganda during the conference is believed to depend largely upon of William B Shearers attack on the Hoover program scheduled for New York Sunday evening The presidents big stick is the uncompleted Senate investigation of navy propaganda and specific ally Shearers part in the Geneva conference Chairman Shortridge Representative California of the investigating subcommittee pre would resume the hear ings upon a White House request So long as denunciation of the of the American naval delegation is confined to Shearer or other private citizens no would be likely well informed per sons believe But if an effort were made to oppose the Navy depart ment or individual active officers in support of Shearers campaign the stick may be expected to swing Famous Airmen and Their brides DOCUMENTS AND To Investigate Haze Left to right Capt Herman one of ithe fliers of the plane Bremen who flew from Europe to

Elevator Operator the Causes Considerable Be Reconstructed at Once Washington Jan 4 TJ cost and cause of a spectacular fire which for a short time last night threatened the rotunda of the cap itol were the subject of an inves being conducted today by David Lynn architect of the Capi tol The blaze which provided excite ment for more than 10000 onlook ers is believed to have caused only about damage This includ ed for destroyed documents and oil paintings of several justi ces of the court of claims cates of the documents are avail able elsewhere The fire started either in the ar studio or the document stor age room just off the base of the big rotunda It was confined to those two rooms The blaze which came just nine days after flames raked the White House executive offices started shortly after 7 p m and was ex less than an hour later Firemen brought from all parts of the city by five alarms found Charles Moberly a capitol artist unconscious in the when they gained entrance He was taken to a nearby room pied by Democratic House floor leader Garner of Texas and reviv ed His injuries were confined largely to shock physicians said I and he should require only a rest The studio is located at the top of the House wing of the building near the dome It was filled with I artists materials and a number of valuable oil portraits of former state officials wove saved i and will be ready for hanging af j ter i In the adjoining document room I however between 500 and 1000 j bound volumes of bills were clam i aged and probably ruined Thousands of unbound docu i ments on nearby shelves escaped j the flames only by a little and I many of these may be damaged by water Early estimates placed the dam age to documents at nearly ana that to wooden partition walls of the two rooms at some 3000 Only these wooden walls and I furnishings were inflammable it was said The walls of the build ing itself ae of sandstone from three to five feet thick Had the succeeded in gaining the rotunda it was point ed out great damage might have been done to the mural decorations on the walls and dome Prompt work by firemen however kept the flames from making any great i threat to that section of the build j ing The blaze was discovered by Kenneth Keeler of Salt Lake City an elevator operator who turned in the alarm Keeler and a capitol j guard fought the fire with extin j until the firemen arrived I As news of the fire spread about the city excitement became in i tense Automobiles from all parts i of thu city were turned toward i Capitol Hill On the plaza before the building several thousand per sons many of whom witnessed the White House blaze gathered to watch the smoke curl from sky lights Flames appeared at times to lick the base of the dome leading watchers to believe the fire was even more serious than it later proved to be Complete extent of the damage can not be estimated until the ex tent of water damage is determin ed Because of the thick walls it will require some time to learn what effect seeping water will have on the ceilings of rooms below Some damage was reported to the ceiling of Associate Justice j Sanfords office on the floor below and firemen ripped away some marble wainscoting nearby to dier mine the cause of heal within the walls The investigation showed that water heated by the flames had seeped into the walls transforming nearby sections into a veritable radiator It was considered possible that j further investigation might show the need of more reconstruction work than at first estimated The fire was the worst the capitol building had known in many years The interior of both wings of the central section was destroyed by fire in August 3814 set by I ing British troops I Rebuilding was started in 1018 and in 1827
