PASADENA. Dec. 25.-The Christ
mas celebration at the Salvation army
hall was terminated by fire which
destroyed the tree and presents and
burned portion of the platform. The
tree caught fire from a candle which
had urned down until it touched the
decorations. A panic was started
among the children present, but was
averted thro Ugh efforts of older per-
sons present, and the children escaped
from the building without any IN
juries.
Ensign Schweidler and Special Off
Ger Falcido of the Salvation army suf-
fered a number of burns while trying
10 save the tree. The fire was extin-
ished by the Dayton street chemical
engine. The total loss will not exceed
800.
Considerable apprehension as to the
safety of the children was felt by the
men and women present when the fire
started, as the exits were partly bar
ricaded by an imitation chimney placed
r Santa Claus to come down. The
older spectators feel that serious in
jurv to several children was very mar
