$65,000 DAMAGE

CAUSED BY FIRE AT LOCAL PLANT Early Morning Fire Destroys Large Part of Acme Manufacturing Co. Plant. ORIGIN YET UNKNOWN Believe Fireworks Probable Cause--Nearby Factories Menaced by Flames. A mysterious fire, the cause of which may have been sparks from a Fourth of July skyrocket, early yesterday morning destroyed a major part of the plant of the Acme Manufacturing company, makers of cedar chests at Sycamore st., directly off LaSalle av. According to Edgar E. Burner, president and general manager of the company, the damage will amount to $65,000. The factory is said to have been insured for $75,- 000. The blaze was discovered about 1:35 o'clock, the first alarm being sent in by Police Officer Hosler from box 43 at LaSalle and Emerick sts. According to Hosler he had just completed making his beat when he noticed smoke, emanating, he fhought, from the LaSalle Paper company, a nearby plant. He immediately turned in the alarm which was answered by trucks and chemicals from the Central station and also chemicals from Hose House No. Seven and No. Three. Hosler still thlnklng that the paper plant was the scene of the blaze. At the same time, the night watchman employed by the Acme company, who had completed his first round but a short time previous, smelled smoke and discovered the second floor of the building ablaze. He ran to turn in the alarm, but the police officer had already done so. Other Buildings Menaced. By the time that firemen from No. Three station, who arrived first, reached the scene, the flames had licked their way over the entire second floor and the building was burning rapidly. The flames which had started in the southwest corner the plant, were fanned somewhat by a slight northeasterly wind and for a time the danger of the fire spreading to other buildings was imminent. After firemen from the Central and No. Seven stations, together with Chief Sibrel, arrived and saw the danger of the blaze spreading, two other alarms were sent in. Stations Five and Six responding. The firemen at first were unsuccessful in making any headway, the dry lumber burning like kindling wood while the flames continued to mount higher, illuminating the sky so that it was visible over a radius of several miles. A steady stream of water was played upon, the seething mass inside the building, firemen scaling the ladders, placed against walls that seemed likely to topple at any minute, and pouring the stream into the cauldron below. A large smokestack gave way after the fire had been raging hour, the noise resembling that of an explosion. The concentrated attack of water and chemicals did not seem to have much effect for nearly an hour and a half, the race which runs directly alongside of the plant preventing the flames from continuing their northeasterly course. That some of the nearby establishments, among which were the Starr mills, the La (Continued on page two) 100 ESCAPE INJURIES IN FAST TRAIN WRECK ALBANY, N. Y., July 4.--(By A.

In the absence of a community celebration of Independence Day yesterday in South Bend, the celebration at Springbrook park sponsered by the George A. Campbell post, No. 763, Veterans of Foreign Wars, was the center of attraction for 'Fourth of July "stay-at-homes" The many rival holiday attractions in neighboring cities did not prevent a large number of persons from enjoying the fireworks, the boxing and wrestling matches, and the other

special events which, together with

the usual attractions it Springbrook park, were the features of the celebration. In recognition of the part of the local veterans' organization in sponsoring the Fourth of July celebration the state commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Capt. F. E. Livengood of Indianapolis, was present

and made a short address emphasizting the meaning of the day, prior

to the beginning of the boxing and

wrestling matches in the afternoon. He pointed out that a century and a half ago what is now the United States was a group, of 13 colonies debating whether they wanted to

unite in forming a republic. He recounted how the nation onlv a few years ago ranked tenth among the world powers, how just before the World War it ranked fifth and how at the present time it "ranks first in every respect." "100 Percent American." He then declared that if this country exjects to maintain its high rank and not begin to decline as other nations have done when they reached the height of their glory as a nation, a 100 percent Americanism must be developed among all citizens, both native and foreign born. According to Capt. Livengood, the organization of which he is commander favors a law compelling all aliens at the time of landing to declare their intention of becoming citizens and requiring them to qualify within one year from that time. He explained that the Veterans of Foreign Wars are sponsoring schools (Continued on page two) PASSENGERS AND MOTORMAN HURT Five Receive Cuts and Bruise in Street Car Crash--Es-cape Miraculous.
