BLAZE VICTIMS PROMISE SUITS

In this building was located the postoffice, the People's bank, the Greek Candy Kitchen and a pool room. Dr. Burkhart said the burned building was valued at $30,000 and that he carried $15,000 insurance on the building.

Doubts Town's Reco- ery.

"I am certainly not going to rebuild and take the chances of being burned out again," said Dr. Burkhardt when asked whether he would rebuild. "Most of the men who suffered losses In the fire feel the same way. I don't believe that Jasonville ever will recover from this fire. The people x^ive en satisfied with promises for water uervlce long enough and the time is here when a good water supply means a good city."

Much bitterness is expressed against the water works company in the comment heard on the streets. Somo of the property owners, who lost in the fire, have asserted that they would bring suits against the water works company. Assertions also were made by some of the people that the city has had insufficient water supply far the last two months. One attorney waq said to be preparing suits aggregating $100,000. "If it hadn't been for two cisterns located near the fire the whole town would have burned," declared one business man. "There is sufficient water near Jasonville to supply the city and the water works company has got to take action this time. About a year ago the Union Lumber company's plant was destroyed, with a loss of $50,000, and the entire plant could have been saved with any kind of a water supply."

The added losses reported today show that the total will run more than a half-million dollars. Ransom & Lacy, clothiers, reported a loss of $8,000. The Home Telephone company estimates its loss at $1,200, and the Greek candy kitchen loss is given at $3,000. Added to these losses are the loss of the furniture in the homes which were burned. The Beaver Grocery company also reported a loss of $400 in money in the fire.

Clear Away Debris.

The work of clearing the burned district was begun early this morning l-y a force of men under the direction of Elmer Sheets, chief of the fire department. Dynamite was used in tearing away the walls of the Knights of Pythias and Odd Fellows buildings. Chief of Pblice Sam Bates established guards around the district to prevent injury to the curious sightseers.

New names were added to the list of injured in the fire when it was reported that Thomas Reeves wa3 severely bruised in the fall of walls of the Stark building. Richard Irwin also was injured in the ruins of his building during the fire but his injuries were slight.

During the work of clearing away the debris Mayor Dempsey was overcome by the heat and was forced to retire to his home. Fire Chief Sheets was affected by the heat and fumes from the smouldering ruins late Saturday, and he was taken to his home.

Although the offices of the city treasurer and the city clerk were wiped out by the flames which destroyed the Odd Fellows' building, both officials reported to the mayor that all records had been saved. J. P. Thompson, city clerk, and William McClellan, city treasurer, were in their offices when the fire started, and seeing that the flames were fast sweeping the business section, rushed out with the records and papers.

Narrow Escapes Recorded. W. F. Crosby, a jeweler, who occupied rooms in the Pythian building, had a narrow escape from the fire. Mr. Crosby, noting that the fire had a clean sweep of the business blocks, packed most of his stock in his safe and wheeled the safe into the middle of the street. Just as he ran from his building with an armfull of the stock the store room caught afire and soon was roaring. Mr. Crosby estimates his loss at $2,700.

Among those who definitely announced their decisions to build Saturday were Wallace Thornton, owner of three store rooms, and Joe Rettish, th3 owner of a saloon.

Most of the stores which were burned' out have established temporary headquarters in the business section The little stock that was saved has

Postmaster Marion Thomas was taking a week's vacation at Elnora, Ind., when he learned of the fire which destroyed his office. He immediately left for Jasonville and established temporary headquarters for the office.

An estimate that at least 75 per cent of the business houses burned carried insurance was made tonight by Mayor Dempsey.

Members of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, who remained at the international encampment in Terre Haute to hear the announcement of the prize drill winners, returned to Jasonville shortly after 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon and immediately began plans for rebuilding the destroyed lodge building. It is thought that for the present temporary headquarters will be established in the Moose lodge rooms. W. F. Crosby, secretary of the lodge, stated during the afternoon that the lodge probably would rebuild at once. All records of the lodge were lost in the fire and a telegram asking for new records and paraphernalia was sent to Col. Harry Wade, grand keeper of records and seal, who was attending the encampment of the Pythians in Terre Haute.

The funeral services for John Hughes, 53 years old, who was fatally injured in the fall of the walla of the Stark building will be held the first of next week. Mr. Hughes is survived by a widow and four children.

Mary Pickford Scores In "Eagle's Mate*

One of the early film bookings at the Grand is Mary Pickford, who is the heroine in Anna Alice Chapin's story, "The Eagle's Mate."

Miss Pickford plays the role of Ammemone Breckenridge, a gentle natured young girl from a nearby valley, who has been surounded by every luxury all her life. Suddenly she is kidnaped by the leader of. the fierce mountain clan, taken to their camp and held there a prisoner. At first she rebels furiously and demands her release but finally her love is won by the courage and daring of her captor, and she be^ Comes as proud of being one of the "Eagles," as her husband's clan is known, as he is himself.

There is a gasp, a tear or a thrill in every scene of "The Eagle's Mate," as well as Miss Pickford's compelling personality, and marvelous photographic effects. James Kirkwood, the photoplay director and leading man, who has jcined the staff of the Famous Players, has directed "The Eagle's Mate," as well as played the leading masculine role.

New Passing Show Promised Best Even

The fourth of the Winter garden spectacles is pronounced the best of the lot.

The spectacle reaches its climax when "The Sloping Path" is shown, on which hundreds of girls perform graceful dances on a zig-zag runway, reaching from the stage to the flies. The music is full of catchy airs, some of higher grade, and some that will catch the popular fancy, and as a dancing show, "The Passing Show of 1914" outdoes any of its predecessors.

The largest cast of principals which has ever been seen in a winter garden show is to be found in this one.

**Lord Fauntleroy" Soon to be Wed

An echo of the theatergoing: taste of the late '80s comes In a newspaper item which says that Vivian Burnett is to marry, writes Percy Hammond in the Chicago Tribune. The son of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett he was at th6 time described by her aa the inspiration of "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and the model of the title character. His a#e is now stated to be 88 years. The play made by Mrs. Burnett was as popular then as "Within the Law" is today. Some of its actors survived their popularity In It—Wallace Eddlnger, who was the little prig of the No. 3 cast, and J. H. Gilmour, who by good acting in other plays succeeded In making the public forget that h,e. had been popular In,the. P&rt .0* th© old nobleman." fClsie Leiile, inost ceU ebrated of the Fauntler'oys, left the stage for school soon after the craze for the play subsided and returned to acting In- her maturity with po little apparent talent for the work aa to make It seem impossible that she could have been the most successful of the child prodigies. The No. 2 Fauntleroy, "Tommy" Russell, also Quit the stage for school, and delayed his return until five years ago, "when he had a part'in Augustus Thomas' "The Harvest Moon." Not only did he then find that he was forgotten but that he himself had forgotten anything- about acting which he might have learned as Annie Russell's younger brother.

year-old boy in Milwaukee he. wrote the drama. After writing it he found it was a case of "Now you got it, what are you going to do with It?" He couldn't find a way to dispose of the play, so he did the next best thing. He made a song of it. Then and there came into being the song-story of popular ditty.

It was from the original play—not the song—that Mr. Harris wrote the "After the Ball" scenario. He put his price on it and waited for some film company to meet it. The Photo Drama company found that the scenario was just the film vehicle for Kelcy and Shannon and they paid the price and acquired it. It is in six reels.

John Bunny, movie idol, Is to return to the stage at the head of a dramatic company to be directed by Lew Wiswell and George Sidney.

Bunny's last legitimate appearance of special note was as Bottom in "MidSummer Night's Dream," with which Wagenhals & Kemper Inaugurated their tenancy of the Astor theatre.

Almost overnight Bunny sprang Into film fame. The movies producers soon learned that his face on the screen presented a particularly comic aspect, and his salary advanced in leaps and bounds. Then the Vitagraph company placed him under contract at an almost unbelieveable salary, and his face soon became the best known in the world.

"Neptune's Daughter," the film play in which Annette Kellerman is being exploited, is to be taken off at Charles B. Dillingham's Globe theatre in New York, to make room for a regular troupe. Over 200 performances of the photoplay were given at the Globe.

David Warfield's itinerary in his revival of "The Auctioneer," in which David Belasco will send his popular star on a long tour of the south and west, beginning early in October, calls for a fortnight's stay in Chicago on his way back from the coast. This will be the only return engagement that will be played by Mr. Warfleld next season, and it was deemed advisable by Mr. Belasco because of the unprece^ent condition that existed during tne actor's four week's engagement there last winter when, at the end of the second week, not a single seat was left in the ticket racks for any of the remaining performances. Mr. Warfield comes to the Gra,nd In December.
