MONTANA STANDARD, BUTTE, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 1935. LIVINGSTON FIRE DEPARTMENT QUELLS DAMAGING BLAZE AFTER FIVE-HOUR BATTLE Jwo Women and Man Are Forced to Flee; Four Buildings Burned -LIVINGSTON, March A fire that started In the of an old warehouse here at 3 o'clock this morning in the lower east side of town was caught up In a 65-miIe-an-hour wind and was carried rapidly to nearby buildings, burning four to the ground and driving two women and one man into the street In their night clothes. After four or five hours the fire department succeeded in quelling the flames that threatened the entire east side of which did an estimated damage of $10,000. The fire, driven by the high wind, rapidly through the dry frame houses and ashes and "sparks were carried by the wind over I he East Side, endangering residences were sprinkled with water. The three persons who were driven into the street said they were roused by the flames.

Their hair and eyebrows were singed and they lost all their clothing. (Continued Prom Page 1.1 inflation possibilities in America. A little further in the future the traders place such possibilities as further sale's of gold for silver to nations, the possibility that ihe two billion dollar stabilization fund might buy silver, and the talk of a gold-silvur 'standard for the two Americas. Not since last 1928 has sliver been so high as today, and it is within striking distance of the prjce paid by the treasury for all newly mined domestic metal. Value Gradually Dips.

Silver's troubles soe back to 1873 adopted the gold standard and led other -nations into gradually placing a lessened value on the white metal. Up to about an ounce, but by 1900 the average slipped to 78 cents, and from there it went to a 56-cent average until the start of the World war. From 1914 to 1921 the average price was 84 cents, and on Nov. 25, 1919, an all-time high of cents an ounce was readied. But the drop was abrupt to Dec.

29,1932, when an ounce of silver brought 2454 cents. Purchase Program. The recent decision of the United States government to make monetary stocks eventually consist of 25 per cent silver and 75 per cent gold inaugurated a purchase program that has absorbed practically the world floating supply. Silver was squeezed from China. She placed an embargo on It.

Then bootlegging started. Silver interests in congress are demanding the treasury fulfill its orders to buy silver, and Wall street, quarters are wondering where it will come from, China, India, London, the ancient mines of the Aztecs. Buying silver with gold stands out as a leading possibility, traders declare, since a reduction in gold stocks will reduce the amount of silver needed to reach the 25-75 ratio. EXTINGUISH FIRE. Firemen extinguished a small roof blaze yesterday at 334 Curtis street.

It was a shingle fire on a vacant three-room house, owned by Mrs. Freda Kruttinan.

RODSFIIEIT DPF BODY OF JAMES WOODS, WAR VETERAN, FOUND IN HIS CAR; HEART ATTACK HELD FATAL 'Continued From Page 1.) liet Administrator Hopkins held a. long conference at which administration of the fund was discussed. The advisory councils would be composed of the heads of emergency agencies or officials closely. connected with public works or relief at present.

Among those mentioned were: Hopkins, who would have charge of direct will continue for quite a most of the other spending that does not fit Into set grooves of long standing; Secretary Ickes, who would continue making loans and grants and the contract system now employed by public works; Bear Admiral Christian .7. Peoples, who would handle public building projects of the federal government; Robert Fechner, director of the Civilian Conservation corps, who would continue In an enlargement of his present capacity. Hopkins held a two-hour luncheon ta with the president today at which the plan was reviewed. The administration declined to comment other than to say the administration declined to comment other than to say the.administrative setup had not been completed. Meet President.

Senate and house chieftains conferred with the president during the day, also to map the strategy to be followed by the relief bill the remainder of its Journey through congress. The president was known to have signified his opposition to some of the 31 senate changes. Currency stabilization, constantly demanded by business Interests, again was made a thing of the Indefinite future today by a treasury statement that the issues Involved were insufficiently clarified. This assertion followed, a suggestion by Robert W. Bingham, ambassador to Great Britain, that "at the proper time" the Washington and London governments should "arrive at an understanding" on tleing the value of the dollar and pound together.

It came at a time which found the administration vigorously striving to defeat inflationary legislation calling for payment of the bonus In new currency and for a sizable increase In silver certificates in circulation. Devaluation Flea. Meanwhile, house banking committee, studying an administration bill to Increase centralized control of the banking and currency systems, heard a plea for further devaluation of the dollar from Edward A. O'Neil," president of the farm bureau federation. suggestion, the White House would say nothing and the prompt conclusion was that Mr.

Boosevelt was standing by his last statement on the subject to the effect that prices are still too low to be frozen at their present levels by stabilization. Hla viewpoint Is that rising prices reduce the nation's debt burden, much of which was obligated at a time of high prices and that this process has still some distance to go, although he has never said just how far. What for months was a general assumption that the 1926 price level was the goal was considerably shaken by the recent testimony of Governor Bcclcs of the federal reserve board before the house committee opposing the making of any particular price level a definite goal. Seven Point Program. The tentative seven-point program for the remainder of the present session of congress, regarded at the capltol as significant for its omissions, mapped out by President Roosevelt and Senator Robinson, follows: 1.

NBA extension. 2. Social security, including both old-age pensions and unemployment Insurance. 3. Regulation of utility holding lompanies.

4. Increased capitalization for the home owners' loan corporation. 5. Consolidated transport ation regulation. Including railroads, ships, a.viation.

busses and trucks. Bank Legislation. 6. Banking legislation increasing powers of the board over credit and currency. 7.

Tightening of food and drug; laws. Senator Robinson, on leaving the White House, emphasized this was not to be considered a "must" list. "It is not felt," he said. "that, any particular measure is In the class of requiring action, but it. is believed that a number of subjects are en-: titled to consideration and it is expected tlmt as many of them as practicable may be disposed of during the present session." Among: subjects not mentioned were'such controversial measures as the bpnus, the Wagner labor-disputes 30-hour week, munitions' control, amendments to the agrlcul- iural adjustment, act; and ship subsidy legislation.

Woods' body, curled up on the rear seat of his parked automobile, was found yesterday morning, three miles south of Boulder on the Whitehall highway.

It was understood Hitler expounded his views on the proposed eastern Locarno pact, and expressed his aversion to anytlu'ng that might engage Germany in a military way, wen to the extent of Involving her with powers that do not touch her borders. Sir John was obviously pleased at Hitler's assurance of intentions toward Russia.

Earlier he had insisted, It was understood, on a-blg army and navy for Germany in or-, der to defend Europe from communism. The British foreign minister unexpectedly asked the question: "Are you expecting to take Memel?" Merriel is the mandate territory in Lithuania which was'placed under the league of nations' control after the World war. In answer to John, Hitler frankly stated Germany's readiness to enter into a treaty with Lithuania. He stipulated only that the rights of German minorities as laid down in the Memel statute be lived up to. Danubian Pact.

Another question In which Great Britain Is not primarily interested was discussed, that the proposed Danubian pact.
