FIRE TOTALLY DESTROYS
SINGLETON RESIDENCE
ESTIMATE LOSS AT MORE THAN
$4,000
Police Succeed In Saving Several
Fine Paintings and Valuable Rugs.
Home Landmark and One Of the
Show Places Of Los Angeles

Fire at the beautiful home Of John
Singleton, 24O0 South Flower street,
caused more than $4,000 damage at an
early hour yesterday morning. The
flames started on the roof, probably
caused by crossed electric wires, and
rapidly spread to the upper story.
Mrs. Singleton and the maids and
cook were sleeping soundly when the
sitting smoke awakened Miss Graham.
Hastily arousing the rest of the house
hold she telephoned fire headquarters.
About the same time Patrolman winn
of the University substation observed
the flames mounting from the roof and
notified Patrol Sergeant Murray. A still
alarm was turned in, the fire depart
ment responding quickly.
Save Few Articles
A squad of policemen worked hard
to rescue the valuable contents of the
mansion, and succeeded in saving a
number of fine paintings, rugs and
other articles, estimated to be worth
$4,000
Mrs. Singleton and her sister spent
the remainder of the night with the
family of Sheldon Borden, 1928 South
Flower street. The two women were in
San Francisco at the time of the dis
aster. They had barely recovered from
the shock of the big fire when COM
PEELED to undergo another calamity
that almost unnerved them.
The home was one of the show places
of Los Angeles, approached by a palm
drive. Its destruction removes one of
the landmarks Of the fashionable resi-
Dental district.
TIL owner, John Singleton, was alb
sent at the time. He was supposed to
be inspecting his mining property in
Nevada. A telegram was sent appris-
ing him of the loss of his home.

subscriptions to the building fund
of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation have exceeded the $3.50, ,OOc
mark, the total reported up to G
o'clock last evening being 1921, ,023. This
leaves $11S,971 to be raised in the next
two weeks to make up the minimum
amount of $350.000 required.
The deep interest taken by the gen.
eral public in the building movement
is shown not only by the generous re-
sponses made to the appeal for funds
through the letter canvass, but by
the communications which accompany
many of these pledges. In sending in
his subscription for $25, John R. Rich
ards Of the Richards Hotel Brokers
company, wrote:
Your circular letter with subscrIp-
tion blank received today 1 cheer
fully subscribe $25 to the Young Mems
Christian association, and regret that
my finances will not permit me to
lend more aid to this noble cause.
The movement is worthy of unlimited
support, and 1 trust that your COM
mittee will meet with the success that
you expect and should attain. 1 shall
gladly lend you all the moral sup
port that 1 can and get others inter-
ested. I thank you kindly for direct
ing my attention to your movement"
Gives Memorial Subscription
Mrs. Eunice A. Warner sent in a sub
scription for $1,000, and across the face
of the blank was the following in
scription:
This subscription is given in mem
ory Of my deceased son, Clarence A.
Warner, who was in sympathy with
the work Of the Young Mems Christ
ian association"
A large number of letters similar to
these have been received in the last
few weeks at the office of the exec
utive building campaign committee in
the o. T. Johnson building. They
serve to strengthen the conviction OF
the directors of the association that
the general public appreciates the
work the association is doing for the
young men of the city, and that it not
only is willing but anxious to do its
part toward the erection of a new
building. Up to last night nearly
$4,000 had been received through the
mails as a result of the letter canvass.
Many Of these subscriptions are for
small amounts, and do not go very
far toward making up a fund of $780,
900, but the evidence of deep sympathy
with the cause which they give is
highly encouraging to the leaders in
this great movement.

MINE DISASTER.
WORKMAN DROPS BOX CT DYNAMITE
TERRIFIC EXPLOSION CAUSED BY
ACCIDENT IeNlrEs GAS IN
THE coLLlERY.
4.

Shenandoah, Pa, May 16.-Seven
miners were torn to pieces and twelve
badly burned by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the Shenandoah City c~olliery
of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company during the day.
A box of dynamite which a workman
was carrying fell from his shoulder
and caused the explosion, which ig-
nited the mine gas. There were about
fifty men at work in the east gang
way of the shaft when the explosion
occurred, but SO far as known all es-
capped except those working on the
first lift. In this part Of the shaft none
escaped either death or injury.
All the men killed were mutilated
beyond recognition.
The force of the conclusion was ter
rife. Doors were torn off and brat
tees were wrecked, every section of
the mine feeling the effect Of the
shock.
The work of rescue was begun at
once under the supervision of Mine
Inspectors Lamb and Wilson, Division
Superintendent Pollard and all the dis
trict superintendent.
The absence of the deadly black
damp made the work of rescue less
hazardous than in accidents Of this
character.
The force of the explosion was felt a
great distance from the shaft and
friends and relatives of the entombed
miners rushed t the mouth Of the
shaft. So great was the crush that It
was necessary to call on the coal and
iron police to keep the crowds back.
All of the killed and injured were
foreigners. But little damage was
done to the mine.
