fire AT FORT WORTH
THOUSANDS Are HOMELESS In
The TEXAS TOWN.
Fire Originated in the Fashionable Resi-
dence District-Firemen Forced to
Retreat by Intense Heat-Other
Cities Send Lssistance-Thousands
Are Homeless.

Fort Worth, Texas, April 4.-Starting
in barn, presumably from a carelessly
thrown cigarette, fire has destroyed
property in the southern portion of Fort
Worth conservatively estimated at So.
100000, caused the death of one person,
j. j. Newton of Krum, Texas, and rem
dered several thousand persons home
less.
The fire originated at Jennings ave-
nue. and Petersmith street in the center
of a fashionable residence district, and,
famed by stiff wind, was beyond con-
troll within IS minutes. Spreading to
the south it burned its way through 80
blocks and continued until it had swept
through the yards of the Texas & Pacific
railroad, destroying the buildings and
a large amount of rolling stock, after
which the fire practically burned itself
out.
The Broadway Baptist and Presby-
terrain and the Swedish churches were
among the buildings destroyed, as was
the Presbyterian sanitarium. The pa
tients of the latter institution were all
removed in safety.

Railroad Loss Heaviest.

The Texas & Pacific railroad suf
fered the largest individual loss. Four
teen locomotives were reduced to
twisted masses of steel and iron and
several hundred boxcars, besides the
roundhouse and other buildings of the
road were destroyed.
The wind was blowing with such fury
that it caused the flames to leap wildly
from building to building and street to
street, causing the area of burning
buildings to grow larger every minute.
AS the fire advanced the heat became so
intense that the fremen were forced to
retreat. The advance of the fire was
80 fast that, in a large number of cases,
hundreds of feet of hose lines were
burned before the fremen were able
TO remove them from the path Of the
flames. Thousands Of homeless people
have been forced to seek shelter wher-
ever they are able TO find it, while they
have seen their homes burn without be-
ing able to save their belongings.
Call for Aid.
When the Fort Worth FIRE department
saw that il would be unable to cope
with the flames a call for aid was sent
TO Dallas. Within 20 minutes after the
call was received Fire Chief Magee Of
that city had fire engine and a hose
wagon with 5000 feet Of extra hose and
company Of ~ men on board a special
train on the Texas q Pacific railroad
and was speeding toward the burning
city. The train left Dallas at 2 o clock
and arrived al Fort Worth about one
hour later The apparatus was IN
loaded from the train Ia the yards east
Of the depot shortly after the structure
had been burned.
Besides asking aid Of Dallas appeals
for help were also sent 10 Waco and

HUNTER ISLAND MAY BE
PROPERTY OF UNCLE SAM

Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 24.-Some alarm
vas created in the Canadian parlia-
ment yesterday by a member calling
attention to the fact that if copy of
the recent boundary treaty with the
United States furnished to the Canad-
ian parliament is correct, Hunter isl
and, in the Pigeon river district,
containing about 1000 square miles,
has been lost to Canada and is now
the property of the United States. In
the Ashburton treaty the island was
conveyed to Canada through state
ment that the boundary line shall not
intersect the island. The copy OF
the recent Washington treaty leaves
out the word not.
DIR. w. F. King, Canada's represen-
tative on the boundary commission,
last night declared that the Ashbur-
ton line had been followed. However,
the original of the treaty will have to
be consulted before this point is fin
ally settled.
