2 TREASURY OF U.S. DAMAGED BY ODD FIRE WASHINGTON, May 3.—The United States Treasury—world's greatest money storehouse —was attacked by Are of mys terious origin early today. A portion of the roof was destroyed. Damage was estimated at SIOO,OOO This is the fourth strange fire In Washington recently. Flames forty feet high shot from the roof of the treasury. An explosion occurred in a room where chemicals used in making treasury blue prints are stored. It was denied that chemicals used in testing bootleg liquor blew up. The flickering glare aroused President Harding, who watched the blaze from a White House window as sparks showered Into the grounds of the executive mansion —just across the street from the treasury —and a cordon of marines held back the crowd. The best Information obtainable early today was that no securities wcro des troyed. The first destroyed much of the new superstructure that is being built on the roof of the building to give the depart ment more room. For nearly an hour, flames were shoot ing from the roof of the building. A complete Investigation into the cause of the fire was ordered today by treasury officials. Secret service operatives will aid In the inquiry into the blaze which was the second In the treasury within recent months. NEGRO VOTE NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE NEW (Continued From Fage One.) Ninth of the Third, had not been heard from at Beveridge county headquarters. Edwin Steers, Beveridge chairman of the Ninth ward, said he was sure every precinct excepting Woodruff Place would be carried and he had no accurate In formation from the latter. CARNEFIX SURPRISE A surprise was contained in the early strength of Louis W. Camefix. candidate for the Republican nomination for audi tor. Carnefix was slated for a time by the Shank faction but cut off In favor of Arthur C. Renlck at the last minute. Harry Dunn, the Jewett-Lemcke man, was second, tying James L. Kingsbury, while Renick was a close fourth. Edward J. Robison, the Shank candi date for county treasurer, was led by Henry M. Cochrane, who drew support fro mboth factions. John L. Duvall, who was backed by Jewett and Lemcke, was third. Another Shank candidate leading was John J. Griffith, for surveyor. Clarence B. Feasey, Jewett-Lemcke choice, was third. BROTHER CARE HARD PRESSED. Carlin H. Shank, by both Shank and anti-Shank factions, was ahead of Wiiltam D. Haverstick and Arthur F. Eickhoff, but being bard pressed by the former. Robert F. Miller, Shank candidate for commissioner of the Second District was led by Harry D. Tutewiler, the anti- I Shank man. The other tw ocftndidates < were far behind. Thomas C. Whallon, slated by both factions for joint representative of ; and Johnson counties was being SBjPk >te:i by .KLlf’.k K. Cline, a resl- Johnson County. Gustav G. Schmidt, slated by Shank leaders in spots, was second in the Ma rlon County race for tSate Senator, with Thomas A. Dailey, chief recipient of Shank support first and Wilbur A. Rorse, ! the Jewett-Lemcke candidate, a poor flifth. Joseph G. Hayes and John Mc- Gregor were ahead of Royse. LEADING IX JUDGE RACES. Republican races for Superior Court Judgeships stood as follows: Room I—James M. Leathers, leading William W. Thornton. Room 2—Linn D. Hay far ahead of T. j Eernest Maholm and Frank M.

Givan.: Shank choice, and John W. Bowlus, about even. Room s—Richard L. Ewbank slightly ahead of Theophilus J. Moll with Reuben X. Miller several hundred votes behind. James A.

Minturn for judge of juvenile court. JEWETT SLATE HAS ADVANTAGE. The Jewett slate held the advantage In the clerkship race. Leonard M. Quill being comfortably ahead of Ralph E. Jo-ies. John W. Castor, slated by Jewett and Len.cke. was far out In front of the five other aspirants for the recorder nomina tion.

It appeared there Is no doubt of th* nomination by Republicans of Dr. Paul F. Robinson for coroner. James C. Douglass, slated by both fac tions. had a majority over his two op ponents for the Republican nomination for county assessor. LEADERS OF DEMOCRATS. Leaders in Democratic races, beside those mentioned above, were: Richard M. Coleman for prosecuting at torney, Salem D. Clark for Room 1. Smiley X. Chambers for Room 2, Gideon W. Blain for Room 3.

MoCloskey for commissioner Second dis trict. County Auditor Leo K. Fesler predicted the total vote in the county would be be tween 40,000 and 45,000. MORE DEMOCRATIC IXTEREST One of tbe features of the vottr.g in the south side was tbe fact that Democratic Interest in many precincts equalled Re publican. This was cheering news to Democratic leaders In view of tue ter rible reverses suffered in 1921. Mayor Bbank polled 253 to Boyd M. Ralston's 82 votes In the First precinct of the Eleventh ward In 1921. Yesterday there were seventy-seven votes cast for sena torial candidates and seventy Democratic ballots. Shank received 260 to Ralston's 79 in the Third precinct of the Fifteenth ward In 1921. yet yesterday there were forty one Democratic votes for senator and only forty-two Republican. While Democratic votes did not come near equaling Republican in the Fourth precinct of tbe Twelfth ward Shank was given a wallop. In 1921 Shank carried this precinct 322 to 117. This time Bev eridge, whom Shank boosted, to 115 for Xew. Tt> I r Y WW New’s Success in Doubt JflflHragmb; • J . 1 SENATOR HARRY S. NEW. Still smiling and confident today. Senator Harry S.

The Seventh ward was a Shank gold mine In 1921 the mayor ■ ir tying the sixth precinct 357 to 104. Tbla made the Republican vote two to iue j Democratic one. This time the ratio was ! nearer six Democrats to nine Republic ans. For Senator, 130 Republicans voted, as compared with 88 Democrats. The success of Shank slate candidates in some south side precincts showed the mayor's -hold on this section Is not alto gether gone, but it is not so strong as In 1921. For instance, in the First precinct ! of the Twelfth ward, which went for ! Shank in the municipal eleot'on £O7 to j SI for Ralston, Shack slates were ahead | Arthur C Renlck, for auditor, had 21 |to Harry Dunn's 19. Edward J.

It was ] admitted at Xew headquarters that this : Lake County majority would reach j 2,000, while the Beveridge leaders at? 1 claiming it by n>t less than 5.000. ! The Twelfth and Thirteenth districts 1 rallied to Senator Xew and lu dication* were tuat ne has carried Allen j County ay 1.500, La Grange by 300. Steu ! ben by 500, St. Joseph by 750, La Porte i by 1,200 and Starke by 200. Elkhart spilled the New beans In this section of the State by crashing through j with a majority of from 1,200 to 1.500 ‘ for Beveridge. ! Great hopes for a substantial New ma jority In Randolph County, based on a telegram received yesterday afternoon at 1 Xew headquarters from James P. Good ; rich, former Governor, were dashed when j returns came in showing rhat the county had gone from 300 to tSOO for Bevaridge. A1 through the night there were half spoken, whispered, mutierings from time to time to the effect that In certain coun ties tbe handiwork of Senator James E. Watson might be seen, the same handi work showing in the effective manner In I which Senator New seemed to have been turned down in some unexpected places. ; When word was received that Rush 1 county. Senator Watson's home county, had gone about CfcO for Beveridge, the anti-Watson talk became more insistent and less attempt at concealment was made. Beveridge headquarters folks went home early last night with the exception of | Alva Wagr.cr, who stuck on throughout j the night, taking returns on the telephone j from points throughout tbe State. : ACTIVITY EARLY AT NEW QUARTERS There was ceaseless activity at the New headquarters. Bert Morgan, Federal pro hibition director, and his assistant. ,G. L. Simmons, chief of prohibition field agents, were greatly In evidanco and stuck by ill v it-V * t-tji night wore on every possible effort to get returns from outlying counties was made and the long distance elephone was kept busy constantly. it was an optimistic crowd that gath ered at New headquarters early in the evening, and when Senator New came In about 7:15 o'clock he was greeted with congratulations of a victory wnlch his supporters conceded him in advance The general opinion seemed to be that there was nothing to worry about and that tbe question was nothing more than just how high New's plurality would run. The first returns fully bore out tbe hopes of the watchers. The first precinct to report was the Fourth of the First ward. Indianapolis, and gave New a plurality of twenty. This was followed in rapid succession by six other precincts in Indianapolis, only one of which was carried by Beveridge, and New ran up a lead of 303. “We will close up here in another hour and go over to Beveridge headquarters," one of the workers said and a general laugh went around the room. But this was the high tide of New optimism, for at 8:30 came the first Jolt of the night. It was reported that nine precincts out of 21 In Hendricks County had given Bever idge a lead of 450, and from tb's time on It was a nip and tuck race. ( I TS ESTIMATES OF HIS MAJORITY, The talk of majorities of 50,000 and 100,000 died away and by 9 o’clock Sen ator New had cut the figure to 20,000 At 2 o'clock he gave out a statement In which he said he had been nominated, but not by as large a majority as had Iwen hoped. Gradually the estimates were reduced until n careful compilation of flgnyes at 7 o'clock this morning resulted In the claim of 5,800 made by Fred I. King. Mr. King, on the strength of eurly re turns, told the newspaper men that at 9 o’clock he would have something to give out officially and that he also wotild send out telegrams to New leaders throughout the State. But by 9 o'clock the entire complexion of the situation had changed. The cele bration had become a desperate battle, an 8 o'clock cinch had In one short hour turned Into a struggle for political ex istence, and the announcement was post poned indefinitely. At 10 o'clock came both good and bad news. Hendricks County had Increased its Beveridge plurality to 820, with four precincts to hear from, but Ft. Wayne returns began to come in showing that Harry Hogan was delivering handsomely in Allen County for Senator New. It was about this same time that La Porte County came to bat with substantia) Xew majorities In Michigan City pro •lncts. Realizing that they had a real fight on their hands tbe Xew mauagers began to put in calls for all parts of Indiana, and the Xew workers were urged to redouble their efforts to get in the returns as rap idly as possible from outside points.

Nominations were hotly contested except in the case of William F. Spooner of Valpa raiso, who was unopposed In the Tenth district. Reports from the thirteen congressional districts enrly today were sufficient to indicate the renomination of every one of the Republican members of tbe lower House, who asked support from the voters. The retirement of James W. I'unhnr of Now Albany, who voluntarily withdrew, seems to have opened the way for ihe nomination of Samuel Lambdin of English, In the Third district. In the First district Congressman Luh ring had no opposition In the Second dis'rlct, Congressman Blanu's usual ma jorities appear to have been cut down, but not so much as to endanger his chances. In the Fourth District Congressman Benham was without opposition, and in the Fifth District Congressman Sanders had a clear field. In the Sixth District the fact that the opposition scattered among three candi dates saved the day for Congressman Elliott. The voie against Elliott is larger than cast f"r him. In the Eighth District Congressman Vestal seems easily to have disposed of the opposition, as did Congressmen Pur nell of the Ninth. Wood of the Tenth. Kraus of the Eleventh.
