TINGEY HOLDS
THE STATE DOWN
bubbles Raised by Secretary
of State Delay Special SeS-
sion of Legislature.
CALL MAY BE ISSUED TODAY
GOV. CUTLER DEBATING WIsEST
COURSE TO PURSUE.

Governor John c. Cutler may call
a special session of the Utah legisla-
ture today to appropriate money for
the relief of the San Francisco suffer
ers. He was strongly advised to do so
by a meeting of elective state officers
held in his Office yesterday afternoon
The only opposition to such a course
was voiced by Secretary Of State G. S.
Tingey, and after talking with him the
governor decided to defer action until
today.
The governor himself called the
meeting and presided over it. Present
were Secretary of State @. s. Tingey,
Chief Justice G. w. Barch Justices D.
Treasurer James Christensen, State
Auditor ]. A Edwards, State Superin-
tendent A. c. Nelson and Attorney
General NJ A. Breeder.
Urge an Extra Session.
Early in the meeting it was agreed
that the state board of examiners had
no authority to create a deficit for the
purpose of a relief fund. Justices Nc
Carly and Straup, Auditor Edwards.
Treasurer Christensen and Super1n-
tendent Nelson then urged that a spe-
cial session Of the legislature be called.
All expressed the belief that no mem
Der of the legislature would charge
either mileage or per diem for the one
day session necessary to appropriate
the money. All offered to pay the ex-
penaes Of their respective counties in
the event they insisted in making the
charges to which they are entitled I'M
der the law.
1t was evident that Secretary Tingey
was opposed to the special session
idea, although his remarks were con-
fined to raising legal bubbles rather
than objections Justice Straup told the
governor fatty that he had a right to
call a session, even though a few men,
| bers could not get their notices in time
to arrive in Salt Lake for the conven-
! ing of the legislature
ConsuIts With Tlngey.
! Governor Cutler called Secretary Tin
! gey out of the room TO consult him,
/ and when the consultation was over it
was stated that the governor would not
announce his decision until today. Sew
/ eral present offered protests. and urged
/ immediate action, and the governor
again took the matter under considera-
/ ton. Later in the evening n. P Nell
son, private secretary to the governor.

ment of his secretary over the tele-
phone He said:

GREAT FIRES
Of THE WORLD
Records Show That Greatest
Destruction of Property
Has Been in America.
MANY CITIES DESTROYED
CONSTANTINOPLE HOLDS REC
ORD FOR CONVERSATIONS
MANY CITIES DESTROYED

While the great disaster in San
Francisco was. due primarily to the
earthquake, the greater part of the de-
struction is due TO the fire which fol-
lowed in it's wake The fire as well
as the earthquake will take it's place in
history as one of the greatest catastro-
phies of modern times.
Great fires have ever been the bane
and dread of all countries. From
the earliest times there are records of
fair cities laid waste and of destruc-
ton and suffering consequent thereon.
American Fires.
The United States has a record of de-
struction of property by fire not
equaled by any other country. During
the last century many towns have been
totally destroyed, and others have Suf-
fered incalculable damage. A $500, 600
fire in Charlestown, Mass. in 1896 was
followed by another in 1888 which de-
stroyed LIS buildings, practically all
the town. Savannah, Ga, in 1920 lost
463 buildings of the value of SO. 900, 0O0
In New York in 1885 q destructive fire
burned over fifty-twO acres, destroy
ing $50 buildings and SIS, 000, 900 worth
of property. Ten years later another
fire burned over 300 acres, with 81, 5OO,-
Il.
Pittsburg, Pa, in 1845, lost 100 build
ings of a million dollars value; St
Louis, Mo-, in 1S49, fifteen buildings
SO. 0O0. 900 value. and in the same town
In 1851 some $500 buildings were de-
stroyed. Philadelphia, Pa, In 1850, lost
400 buildings. In 1866 Portland, Me-
was half burned down by a fire which
covered 200 acres and burned 1743
buildings.
Worse Than Chicago Fire.
The great Chicago fire in 1871 was
one of the greatest in history, but the
property loss was not nearly as large
as the present San Francisco disaster
will prove. The property loss in Ghica-
go was $106 900 600, and the present loss
is already figured far beyond that sum.
Many lives were lost in the Chicago
fire, and 17,430, buildings were de-
stroyed, covering an area of 2124
acres.
Boston, Mass, had a great fire il

camille section burned, including 776
buildings, nearly all of brick and stone
construction, with a loss of $4,000, 900.
The great Baltimore fire of 1904 is too
recent not to be well remembered.
Then a square mile of the city's busiest
section was destroyed, the loss totaling
S125, OO0. 900.
San Francisco had a great fire I'm
1851 At that time some $500 buildings
were burned and a number of lives lost.
The property loss at that time was over

Canada has also had her baptism of
fire St John, N B., was almost en-
tirely destroyed in 1887 and again In
1877, when 200 acres We're burned and
ten miles of streets. Some $40. 600 900
of property was destroyed Montreal
had a great fire in 1850 which destroyed
go buildings, and another in 1852 when
LOO buildings were destroyed Van
couver, Toronto and Ottawa all were
partially laid waste at the beginning
of this century.
In Quebec in 1S45, 1850 buildings were
destroyed. and about the same number
in May and June following, and in 1866
some 2,5OO buildings and seventeen
churches were burned
st. Johns, n. F., was nearly entirely
destroyed in 1916, with a loss of $50. OOO.-
600, and had another big fire in 1896
Various cities i'm South America were
destroyed, or nearly so, in the last CEN
fury, the property loss in some cases
amounting to $S0O00.0 900 and upward.
Nearly all these were attended with
loss of life.
