Appearing before the House Military Affairs Committee yesterday. S. P. Ansell, former acting Judge Advocate General of the Army, ac- cused Secretary of War Daker of, setting up an iniquitious system of i reclassification under the army re- i organization act that has resulted in the disqualification and discharge of hundreds of good officers. The witness supported practically all the charges made by Representative Caldwell, of New York, that personal prejudices In the War Department had been responsible the mistreatment of the regular, army men whirh precipitated the Inquiry.

One of the worst evils! of the system that is employed. Ansell said, is the virtual denial of fti11 and free success to the records of defendant officers. "Accused officers." he asserted, "are compelled to go on trial with- out introducing their full records and the War Department refuses to i permit counsel for them tr? see the full records. They explain that It is their policy not to permit the records to be examined until the court of inquiry convenes and then we are given only the black marks! against these men. We get nothing favorable on which to draft a brief or defense." Ansell told the committee that he al knew of several cases where officers haev spent their entire lives in the service had been discharged through this practice.

in fire checks urged for alter reed The House Bules Committee yesterday, following hearinss on the Mcleod resolution asking for a Congressional investigation of the fatal lire at Walter Beed Hospital, decided to ask the District Commissioners and the hospital authorities to co-operate in a movement to protect the building from danger of future flres. Col. J- Glennan, commandant at Walter Beed. told the committee that he has asked the construction uuartermaster for recommendations as to how the danger of Are in the barracks can be decreased, and that he will act upon the recommendations as soon as received. It Is not expected that the Bules 'Committee will ask for a Congressional Investigation of the recent Are.

as provided In the McLeod bill, but that the hearings before the committee will be construed as an investigation. The committee feels, it was said, that the District Commissioners and the hospital authorities will arrange. as a result of the hearings, for the installation of additional Are plugs and fire alarm boxes. GIVE UNITED DRIVE MILLIONS TO EUROPE RELILEF, ASK K. C.

Directors Vote to Transfer $500,000 Share. Urge Allied Groups to Follow Suit. NEW YORK, Jan. undistributed balance of the United War Fund, about $5,003,000, should be turned over to the European Relief Council headed by Herbert Hctover, the board of directors of the Knights of Columbus declared in a statement issued following their meeting here today. The Knights were one of seven welfare organizations benefited by the fund.

The directors voted today to transfer the organization's title and claim upon their portion of the $500,000 the European Relief Council, recommending that other organizations having claims upon the fund take similar action. "The fund was collected by seven welfare organizations and should be disposed by all of them acting in, concert," Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty declared. "The objects for which the fund was raised have ceased to exist and the European Relief Council's work seems to be the sanest and most charitable object for the use of the undistributed balance. There should be no legal difficulty if the Secretaries of War and of the Navy and the President direct this action.

A FIRE DESTROYS CENSUS DATA OF 120 YEARS Irreplacabte Records Are Ruined by Smoke And Water. FUMES OVERCOME TWO FIREFIGHTERS Blaze Confined to Basement of Commerce 9 Building.

Water-soaked and illegible, millions of priceless records of the Census Bureau are under water this morning in what was yesterday a "fireproof" cellar vault, following a I fire in the basement of the Department of Commerce Building, Pennsylvania avenue and Nineteenth streat northwest, shortly before 7 o'clock-last night. Two Newman, Truck 3, living at 212a Morgan street northwest, and William G. Parater, Engine 23, whose home is at 317 street overcoirte in braving the dense smoke and by leaking gas in the cellar. Both responded quickly to treatment at Emergency HospitaL The blaze was confined to the basement, but clouds of thick smoke found ready drafts through the elevator shafts atid stairways of the building, and left its in every office, fit is believed to have originated in the carpenter shop in the basement of the building. Tlyee alarms and a general local call were in.

Adjoining the carpenter shop In the cellar is a "vault." 100 by 45 feet, containing the nation's irreplacable census of the first thirteen icensuses. dating from IJ90 to 1910.
