A blue print laboratory and a amall contrac tor's shack on the roof were destroyed. Treasu y olficials estimated that the damage was slight, but no figure on the loss from fire and owater was avail able tonight. Thousands of afternoon shoppeds were attracted by dense clouds of smoke pierced by high flames thrown up when the blaze reached n supply of tar and tar paper. Treasury enbployees, who left , the building in orderly imanner after the alarm was sounded, Joined the spec tators while the firemen went about their work. The millions of -Lllars of the na tion's treasure stored in the building was guarded by a cordon of United States marines ind secret service men. No one was injured and no valuable blue prints were destroyed. according to J. A. Wetmore, super vising architect of the treasury, and William Y. Brady, superintendent of construction. Six clerks in theqrint room, nyhen the fire started, saved all the important plans before they left.
