FIRE DESTROYED PARIS THEATRE Theatre Where Pearl White Was Appearing Burned In Fire Today (I'nlteil I’reiw Service). Paris, May 9—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The Casino De Paris, one of Paris’ largest theaters, where American artists including Pearl White, were appearing, was burned to the ground today. Thy flames were spreading through the lower Mont Martre theatrical district this afternoon. The Perroquet, a select dancing resort was in flames, and the Apollo Theatre, next door, was threatened. The district through which the flames swept was thickly populated an an easy prey to the flames. Many of the most famous theaters of Paris are crowded into the . lower MontMartre region. Several big department stores near the Casino were threatened. The Casino De Paris was the amusement resort best known to Americans in Paris with the exception if the Follies Bergere. Hundreds of fire fighters and apparatus from all parts of Paris were jammed in the narrow streets near the scene in an effort to save surrounding buildings. The connection made the firemens task extremely difficult. The flames were fought from adjoining roofs. DEFORESTATION OF LAND A SOURCE OF WASTE SAYS DIRECTOR OF CONSERVATION. Indianapolis, May 9. —Deforestation of Indiana lands has been great cource of waste, according to Richard Leiber. director of the state department of conservation today. The waste caused by the recent floods throughout Indiana and the middle west intensified and made more violent by the lack of trees, was enormous, he said. According to Leiber the tree entangled below the surface of the soil holds the soil intact and only allows water to trickle through slowly instead of forming large orfices and draining the land almost as soon as the rain hits the earth. He said this rapid drainage is a source of waste through defertilizing the soil long before its richness is exhausted by crops. The farmer then must buy fertilizer which is usually not nearly so effective as that which has been in the land growing plants for*-ages. The water flowing away rapidly carried the particles of light decayed material and the soluble phosphosur and potash compound off to the rivers and streams and leaves the heavy clay. Then arises another source of waste, he said. When these substances reach the streams the streams become pointed. The particles of decayed matter are harmful to the fish. During warm weather, especially they absorb or unite with the oxygen which the fish must breath. The water poluted by these substances that are washed from the soil must be purified before it is fit for drinking purposes, he said.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT Whereas it has pleased Almighty God in His wisdom, goodness and mercy, to call to his everlasting reward, our beloved brother, Dr. D. D. Clark and whereas he has completed his work in the ministerjpg to the wants of the afflicted, his family has lost a kind and devoted husband and father, and the Knights of Columbus a valued and faithful member, Therefore be it resolved: • That we extend to his family our sincere sympathy and condolence in this their sad days of bereavement. Be it further resolved that our charter be draped for a period of thirty days. Committee: JOHN FISHER, E, F. GASS, 11. J. CONROY.
