FOUR DIE IN FIRE
AT QUEBEC CONVENT
Three Firemen and Aged
Nun Die in Jolliette Fire;
Many Are Saved
JOLIETTE, Que.~— (&) -— Three
firemen lost their lives today as
they fought flames that destroyed
the convent of the Sisters of the
Congregation of Notre Dame here,
An aged nun, Sister Ste. Elaine
Desseurs, 75, died of heart failure
shortly after the fire broke out in
the kitchen of the convent.
All other occupants, £J children,
50 aged pensioners and 50 unus,
escaped. Firemen led them to
safety.
The dead:
Sister Ste. Elaine, 76.
Fireman Louis Chartier, 32.
Fireman Guibert Fleury, 50.
Oscar Furlong, 23, volunteer fire«
man.
Fireman Jean Leguyer, 42, was
seriously injured. He was taken to
a hospital in a critical condition.
The convent and normal school
was built in 1875, Joliette and
Montreal firemen played water on
the flames.
Breaking out in the kitchen of
the institution, the fire spread
rapidly through the building.
Nuns started to lead the children
and pensioners to safety. A host
of volunteers joined firemen in the
rescue work and all occupants were
carried from the building. Almost
every man in this town of 11,000
turned out to help fight the fire.
The shock proved too much for
Sister Ste. Elaine, who was about
to celebrate the Golden jubilee of
her entry into the sisterhood. She
collapsed and died while the fire
was at its height.
Chartier, Fleury and Furlong
were cut off by the flames during
the losing battle and perished.
Lecuyer was dragged unconscious

Bonus Bill Is Sent to White House;
Roosevelt Prepares Veto Message
WASHINGTON —(®)— The Pat
an inflationary bonus bill was sent
to the White House today for a
certain veto.
The last congressional formality
was completed when Vice Presi
dent Garner signed the $2,200,000,-
000 measure.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt
set aside this afternoon to start
writing the veto message which
probably will be sent to congress
on Monday.
IContrary to many reports, the|
White House said this was thei
first work by the president on the
veto message and until it was fin
ished there could be no estimate of |
its length.
It will go to the houst first,
where leaders concede it will be
quickly overriden.
The real test will come in the
senate, probably about the middle
of the week. Administration lead
ers maintained they had the votes|
to sustain the chief executive. ]
While Patman chieftains made|
no flat claims, they expressed op-l
timism.
QUICK O.K. SEEN
WASHINGTON—#)—A quick O.
K. from the White House op the
$1,091,802,200 worth of work relief
projects recommended to President
Roosevelt by chiefs of the relief
drive was considered virtually cer
tain in high quarters today.
Since the president himself at
tended the session of the advisory
allotment hoard which culminated
late yesterday when the board
recommended the projects, the ac
tion of the president in withhold
ing an immediate approval caused
some surprise in the capital.
Establishment of Federal
Currency Board Advocated
WASHlNGTON—(#)—Bstablish+
ment of a strong federal board—
like the Supreme Court—to govern
credit and currency, was advocated
today by Secretary Morgenthau in
a statement to the senate banking
subcommittee.
Appearing at the request of Sen
ator Glass (D.-Va.) chainman of
the subcommittee, the secretary
declared he “favored the principles
of” the part of the Omnibus Bank
ing bill giving the Federal Reserve
Board exclusive authority to con
duct open market operations, by
which credit is controlled.
But he went even farther by
adding that he wanted a board di
vorleed gmttrely from political con
trol. .

The reason ‘was not announced.
It was recalled, “however, that in
the congressional fight over the
$4,880,000,000 work-relief bill—when
critice were hammering away at
Secretary Ickes —the word went
down the line from the White
House that the president would
have the. final say ' in allotting
money. ’
Though the projects are consid
ered viriualy certain to obtain fi
nal approval, some decisions re
main to be made before the work
relief drive—aimed to provide jobs
fir 3,509,000—can swing into ac
. Harry Hopkins, who is head of
als progress division, must an
nounce wage and hours schedules.
His figures on unemployment to
tals for various areas, on which
officials have said the distribution
of funds will be based, have not
been announced.
First of the announcements made
by Frank C. Walker, applications
chief, yesterday was $500,000,000
for road and rail crossing projects,
Walker said that $100,000,000 of
this was from an old unappropri
ated federal highway fund; with
$200,000,000° for highways, roads
and streets and an identical sum
for grade crossing eliminations
coming from the new fund.
Every state received at least $2,-
000,000 from this half billion with
New York and Texas getting mear
$30,000,000 each.
Few details were made public
on the $249,860,000 allotted to 67

as well had to strain their ears
to hear him.
“Independent of the president,
too?” Senator Bulkley (D.-O.) ask

“Only that he have the appoin
tive power,” Morgenthau replied.
“Like the Supreme Court”? Glass
interjected. ;
“Right,”” said the secretary.
Previously, he had testified that
