15,000 SUFFER LOSS OF HOMES IN SALEM FIRE Flames Under Control After Fifteen Hours of Desperate Fighting Property Loss $15,000,000. Water Supply ExhaustedMilitia Patrols City and Governor Sends Out Appeal for Aid. SALEM. Mass., June 26. Two hundred persons were unaccounted for today in Salem's great fire. The flames were under control at 5 o'clock this morning after raging for fifteen hours unchecked. Four persons are known to he dead, fifty have been injured, and from fifteen to twenty thousand are homeless. The property loss is estimated at from five to twentyfive million dollars. The city is practically without water. The thousands of homeless are being fed today in a great army camp set up on Highland avenue. One thousand cots, one thousand tents and one thousand blankets are being distributed among the fire sufferers. Rations for ten thousand are being served by the militia commissary department. Five thousand homeless are being sheltered under canvas today. One Thousand Buildings Burn. Today's rations to the homeless consisted of a loaf of bread, a can of beef and a cup of coffee. Rich and poor were served alike. The wealthy section of the city as well as the tenement districts are in ruins. One thousand buildings were burned. Governor Walsh is personally supervising the relief work. He arrived on tlu scene last night and worked all night among the fire sufferers. The governor issued an appeal for aid. The city is now under martial law of the strictest kind. All looters will he shot on sight. A cordon of militia now extends around the burned section. Water Supply Fails. Adding to the suffering of the homeless was a water famine. Drinking water was brought in buckets from springs in the outskirts of the city, or carried from Peabody, Beverly, Marble ead and Lynn. So small was the supply of water that only a fiiled tinful could be allotted -scantily to each applicant. The fire has laid waste one third of the city. The flames spread from the southeast a mile and a half, after having been started by an explosion of gas In the plant of the Korn Leather company. The flames then cut a cresents aped area in the business district over a mile wide. Block after block was dynamited in an effort to check the fire. The railroad depot was among the buildings dynamited. A score of factories were destroyed, including the mill of the Maukmeage Cotton company, which had six thousand hands on its payroll, being one of the largest, in the world. In the destruction of the industrial plants the city and its in abitants suffered a tremendous loss. Thousands of rmploves lost their jobs as well as their homes. Hospital Destroyed. The Salem hospital was destroyed. A hundred patients, of which thirty were injured in the fir were hurriedly removed to the almshouse and to the Heverly hospital. Ambulances, automobiles, hacks and grocery wagons were pressed into service. One old woman died dming the transfer. Salem's buildings of narion-wide fame escaped the flames. The "House of S veil Gables," Hawthorne's birthplace: the Kssey institute, the Peabody museum, the old tow n house and other structures famed in the historical and literary annals of the country, are still preserved. Soon alter the fire started at 2 p. m. yesterday the city was cut off from the outside world by telephone and telegraph.

PROGRAM

CLUBS FEDERATION ENDORSES SOCIAL CENTER MOVEMENT

Women Told Whitewater Summer School Work Brings Happiness to Parents and Children. Endorsement of the social center work done the the Whitewater school was given by the Richmond Federation of Women's clubs at a meeting held yesterday in the high school auditorium. The federation also pledged active support of the project. "Although we have only three hundred enrolled during the regular school session," said Principal Ramsey, "we have over two hundred enrolled for this vacation school, which proves that the children need it and are interested in it." That the work is now handicapped for lack of adequate equipment and that its possibilities are great, he also emphasized. Supervisor Reports. H. L. Haywood, social center supervisor, after describing the typical programs which have been carried on in the afternoon said: "Thus far the attendance has largely been made up of children. This has been well worth while and the good done for them has justified the undertaking. But this is not the work which we planned in our conferences with the school authorities. Our aim is to interest the women, and especially the mothers of the neighborhood, with the hope of being able to give them opportunities for improving their knowledge of household arts and other accomplishments useful to the mother and housekeeper. I am afraid that thus far many of the women in the district have misinterpreted the movement to be a kind of charity effort. Others perhaps have not come simply because they have not known about it. The members of the women's clubs can be of the greatest assistance to this social center work if they will help us visit the homes in Riverdale, and acquaint the people there with the possibilities of this work. Asks for Co-operation. Mr. Haywood also spoke of the need for financial backing and for the cooperation of those who are able to give their services in the work. He appealed to the clubs to recommend a list of persons in the city who would be able to give talks, musical programs, story-telling, cooking and sewing lessons and otherwise to .help carry on the activities of the social center. This appeal was enthusiastically responded to by club representatives. They pledged themselves to secure the money and to help in arranging the programs. A number volunteered on the spot to give their own services and suggested others who were peculiarly fitted for such work. As a result of this meeting, the social center is assured greater success and usefulness. At the social center afternoon in the Riverdale school yesterday, the Mother's League, composed of about twenty women whose children attend the school, arranged for an evening social to be given in two or three weeks. They are hopeful of interesting a large number of women in the community In the work in this manner and also of being able to secure some funds to carry it on. These women have already accomplished a great deal in sewing and are becoming more interested in the undertaking each clay.

LUMINOUS LIGHTS PLEASE OFFICIALS DURING OHIO TRIP New System Meets Approval of Mayor Robbins and Works Board After Inspection in Other Cities. Mayor Robbins, Alfred Davis and John McMinn of the board of public works, and Supt. Kleinknecht of the municipal plant, returned last night from a four days trip through Ohio inspecting lighting systems. They visited Columbus, Delaware, Cleveland, Akron and Toledo and all appeared today to be more than ever convinced that the luminous arc lamp is the most satisfactory one for Richmond. "The best lighted cities we visited were Columbus and Akron, in my opinion," said Mayor Robbins today. "Columbus is a typical cluster light city. Nearly all its principal streets have such lights and they give splendid illumination and are exceptionally ornamental. However, this cluster lighting system is a very expensive one and we found very few of these kind of lights in the other cities we visited. In the residential districts of Columbus the luminous arc lamps, swung to the center of the street, appeared to be in general use. Akron Well Lighted. "At Akron, w hich is one of the best lighted cities I ever visted there are several types of lamps but the luminous arc was the one in general use. In the residential districts a luminous lamp is swung to the center of the street at each corner, and if necessary, a lain) is placed in the middle of the square. "In the business districts of Akron the boulevard posts are used, several to each square. These boulevard posts are equipped with luminous arcs, and it is so arranged that the current may be shut off any lamp at any time. Property owners on such streets where the boulevard lighting system is used are assessed 60 cents a front foot when the lamp posts are installed and the same amount each year as their share of the expense for the additional illumination they receive. "Akron officials are sorry now, however, I was informed, that the boulevard posts were installed. There are so many of them to a square that with the trolley posts they give the street the appearance of being fenced in. We told them that we had been considering a plan of attatching lamps to brackets suspended from iron trolley poles on Main street and they said that they thought such a plan would be a very satisfactory one." Sad for Bavis. The Richmond officials were not greatly impressed with the street lighting systems of either Cleveland or Toledo. Delaware, which is a town of le. oim) inhabitants, was found to be very well illuminated. Representatives of an electrical company took the Richmond men to Delaware in automobiles, leaving Columbus Monday night. Mr. Bavis had a very sad experience on the trip. He called at the home of a brother he had not seen for fourteen years to give him a surprise visit, but found his brother's young son dying. The boy's death came within an hour after Mr. Bavis' arrival. The hist time Mr. Bavis saw his brother was on the occasion of the death of another member of the family. Although greatly impressed with the luminous arc lamps Mayor Robbins says no decision has been reached on the kind of a lamp which will be installed here. All of them are to be given thorough tests before any decision is made. "You can say that cost is not to figure in the establishment of a newlighting system in Richmond," said Mayor Robbins "We are going to have the best, illuminated town in the country and the best lam;) on the market will be the one purchased." LIGHTNING DESTROYS CENTERVILLE BARNS Storm Causes Loss to Charles Kel'um and Hamilton Brown. Reports of damage done by lightning and wind in Wayne county yesterday, slowly trickled into Richmond today. Charles Kellum, residing one mile north of Centerville lost two barns and their contents, valued at $1,200 when lightning struck the bank barn in which he had stored hay, grain and implements. The large structure was set on fire by the bolt and rapidly spread to a smaller structure near by, j which also was destroyed. Kellum anu nis tamily were not at home. Nothing was saved from the buildings. The dwelling of Hamilton Brown, three miles sout hof Richmond, was struck, but no damage was done, excepting the smashing of glasses in the windows. The family of Charles Deitemeyer, one mile west of Chester, sitting around a table in the dining room, rushed into drenching rain when lightning struck the street frame wind mill and tore up the floor of the milk house. Members of the family believed the house had been struck. GREENVILLE MAYOR KILLED BY AUTO GREENVILLE, O., June 26 Mayor Willsworth W.

WILSON'S CHOICE

FOR BIG POSITION A. C. Miller, of California, who has been nominated by President Wilson for assistant secretary of the interior for a term of ten years. MAYORS OF THREE CITIES SWAP YARNS AT CITHUILDING Bunch, Watkins and KobMns Discuss Winters Case, Politics and Million Dollar Coliseum for Indiana. Richmond had a mayors' convention on her hands tonday as well as a convention of happy-go-lucky fraternity boys. Delegates to the convention of mayors were the chief executives of Muncie and New Castle. General R. II. Bunch of Muncie. and Admiral J. L. Watkins of New Castle. Mayor Robbins was initiated into the organization and "a pleasant time was had by all." As escort to the visiting mayors were H. S. Maddy of Muncie. a polico commissioner of that city, and II. O. Bell of Indianapolis, whose only title is private citizen. All of them came in an automobile, and all were strenuously boosting the Indiana coliseum project, which contemplates the formation of an Indiana club and the construction of a pretentious building in Indianapolis, where state meetings of all kinds can bo held, and where Indiana industrial exhibits can at all times be displayed. The building would also be the headquarters for the Indiana club. A state-wide campaign is now in progress. Many applications for membership in the Indiana club have been received by the boosters wherever they have gone. Differ In Politics. General Bunch is a Democrat, while Admiral Watkins at the present writing is a Republican. He recently jumped his contract with the Progressives. Watkins likes the job of being mayor, but says he would much prefer being United States marshal of Indiana, which job Bunch promptly offered him if he would make another flop into the Democratic party. Watkins spurned the offer. He believes the G. O. P. can be depended upon to deliver the goods. Bunch is thoroiiKhly enjoying ihs trip through the wheat belt. For several weeks he has been engaged in a hand-to-hand conflict with the blind tigers of dry Muncie, and he shows the strain to which he has been subjected. He now weighs but little over two hundred pounds, but his brief vacation is expected to restore him to normal health. "This blind tiger fighting is hard work. I'll tell you." complained the Muncie mayor. "In the last several days there have been six tiger cases in city court, and there hasn't been a conviction yet. Nearly all of them have dry lawyers. Some job, I'll tell you. Relates Winters Thriller. Bunch then related a thrilling story and the latest chapter in the Catherine Winters case, in w hich the Muncie and New Castle executives play the leading roles. A mysterious grave was located near Muncie, and Watkins called on Bunch to take him to the place in his automobile. After several spadefuls of earth had been removed a bone was exposed to view. "Bunch, you are a doctor: tell me where this bone fits in," excitedly exclaime dWatkins. according to Bunch, and the latter quotes himself as replying. "On a hog, leb. That is the part about which the kell-known ham accumulates. In other words, Leb. that is a hambone." Bunch concluded by making a bloodcurdling threat against the life of Watkins if the New Castle mayor ever wakes him up again in the dead of night to go grave digging. "I may make a few mistakes on graves, but 1 don't make traction cars run through New Castle at a rate of three miles an hour, like you do in Muncie," was Watkins' retort. TAKE TIRES THEN CAR. CHICAGO, June 26. After robbers had stolen eight automobile tires at various times from Jay H. Emerson, general agent of a Xew York insurance company, they returned and took the cax lUell.

PHI DELTA KAPPA TO OBTAIN PARK FOR ITS MEETINGS Members to Be Taxed 23 Cents Annually for Five Years to Acquire Lake Shore Plot. Dayton Gets 1915 Convention, While "Red and Black," Official Organ, Is to Be Continued. A national Phi Delta Kappa fraternity park in five years is the object toward which every chapter will strive as the result of an idea of Zack Sanderson. member of the Alpha chapter of Marion, whose committee made its report this afternoon to the national convention. The committee consists of Zack Sanderson, chairman; Earl Howe, of Richmond; Malcolm Skinner, an attorney of Portland; Wayne .Mouohan, of Ft. Wayne; and Dr. CTevenger, mayor of Garrett. The report of the committee recommended taxing each chapter a per capita tax of twenty-five cents annually to be paid by the chapters. In five years this will bring in enough money. Seek Shore Property. A big farm with natural park scenery on a lake shore, will be purchased and a headqaurters building and dance hall erected from the fund. The remainder of the ground will be plotted to permit chapters to erect their own summer cottages. The project is the biggest single financial undertaking which the organization has ever essayed, but it will be followed closely by another plan of Mr. Suderson to erect in either Marion. Richmond or Indianapolis, a l'hl Delta Kappa fraternity ball to be headquarters for the organization. Th building proposition probably will bo taken up by chapters of Indiana only, and made Indiana headquarters. Dayton Gets Convention. There was an everwhelming sentiment for Dayton for the next convention and the Gem City will be hosts for the fraternity the last Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of June 1915. A long night telegram inviting the convention to the city was received at tne business meeting this morning from the Greater Dayton association, an organization of lO.OuO Dayton cit izens. The national council immediately wired acceptance and thank-!.' the G. D. A. for Its support. The "Red and Black." the official organ, will b issued hereafter four times a year, it was decided.

PRICES OFJLL COAL Dealers Meet by Coincidence and Decide on Increase of 25 Cents. Richmond's coal trust is on the job. and coal will have a uniform rais of 25 cents a ton for soft coal and l cents a ton for hard coal starting July 1. Xo mine increase has ben made, and the higher prices are pu:-ely local, according to other markets. The coal dealers met rece itly, quite by coincidence, however, a.-, there is no formal organization. aid decided on the date of the increane. It was decided that the raise in trices shall be automatic, taking place at the first of each month. The ten cent raise on hard coal will start on July 1. AH soft coal will be raised 2! cents July 1. and unless the coal tru-it takes further action it will continue to raise in price. The installation of natural pas has not had the effect of forcing down prices on coal, but rather, apparently, has bound the coal dei.lers together more c losely. Natural gas for cooking lost the local coal dealers many sales last year and probably wili ' e e:t extensively used this winter. The quotations for hard and soft coal are: Anthracite nut. $8.29: An- ! thracite Xa. 4. and egg. $7.95; Focaj hontas lump or egg, $5. 25; Pocahontas mine rune, h.lo; i-ocanonas slack. $4; Jackson lump or egg, $5.50; Winifred, $4.50; Jewel, 4.75; Tennessee. $5; Hocking Valley. $4.25; Indiana. $3.75: coke. $7: Winifred washed pea, $1; nut ana slack, is.
