SIX MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING
GOES UP IN FIRE AND SMOKE
OTTAWA, Feb. 4.—Bombists suc
ceeded in destroying the Canadian
Parliament building which was de
stroyed by fire following an explo
sion.
The result of the destruction also
included six dead, many injured
and the almost miraculous escape of
hundreds from the building.
The structure was a massive
Gothic type of building, and cost
about six million dollars.
The origin of the fire is trace l'
to the reading room of the parlia
ment where almost immediately
after the exp’osion, the papers
catching fire, the flames were soon
licking the magnificent carved pan
neling that lined the walls.
The explosion shook the entire
structure, and the explosives must
have been planted in quantity
along the northeast side which wes
shattered. While no one much fre
quented this section and wherein
documents were stored, the adja
cent reading room caught the tire of
the explosion and retained it.
Six members were killed outright,
many seriously Injured and the nar
rowness' of some of tho escapes are
marvellous.
Germanist plotters are blamed
for the explosion and feeling has
been intensified throughout all
Canada.

The latest Lusitania memorandum
was handed Secretary Lansing to
day by Count von Bernstorff. The
German government therein agroes
to a complete official disavowal ot
the action of the commander of the,
submarine, his official disciplining

therefore practically brings to a con

government by their being satisfac
torily accepted by the Germans.

LAW MAKERS ARE
BUSY AT WORK
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—
The week end lull in legislative ac
tivities is again noticeable here, but.
there Is no such lull in the political
activities of the mombors. Most of
the latter operations are however
now confined to discussions of pro
blems more or less speculative, as
for example whether or not the pre
parationists or antl-preparationist3
are stronger politically. If this
were definitely known there woula
be a big flop on the part of the ma
jority of undecided ones, many ho
sitating to commit themselves un
til they see which way the tide ot
favor turns. If Bryan’s tour is suc
cessful, it is good-by administration
support in the House at any rale.
Works today attacked bitterly thG
policy of defense - as outlined by
Wilson. As a preparedness plan it
is inadequate, and on account of its
inadequacy dangerous, was the glsi
of his argument.

in the black books of every one, waa

statement that no date can possibly
be set for its full and uninterrupted

Congress is likely to take up the
Appam case; yesterday it denounced
the destruction of tho pa liameut

ously.
DESTRUCTION DENOUNCED
DY COLORADO SENATOR
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—
Senator Thomas today bitterly de
nounced the destruction of tho Do
minion ot Canada’s parliament
buildings as a type of vandalism
abhorrent to every civilized being,
and without justification as an act
of war by any but a savage.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4.— It would
be impossible to Imagine anything
could stir feeling in America by
any act committed in another coun
try as has the destruction of the
Dominion parliament building. Prac
tically every paper denouncoa it and
refers to it as an activity whiqrf
America is not wholly freo from.
The indignation is so common and
evident on all sides that oven the
pro-German publications refor to the
accusation of its being tho work of
a bombist as a base and unsubstan
tiated charge without any founda
tion in any way in fact.
It is repudir ted by all tho Ger
man American interests. t
WASHINGTON, D. C., Fob. 4.—
Unde Sam is no longer taking any
chances. Today tho Capitol guards
were quadrupled and stricter regu
lations ordefed for the protection of
the House of Congress. The capitol
is now protected by special guards
and secret service men and every
person is carefully watched. who
excites suspicion.
The destruction of the Dominion
parliament has made a profound
impression.
