The LAYMEN'S CONVENTION

Interest in the great missionary
convention, which is to be held the
18th and 10th, continues to grow dai-
ly. There are good results from the
efforts of the men who went out in.
to the country on Sunday as well as
from the strong appeals that the pas.
tors made in behalf of the Laymen's
work. 1t Is safe to say that the con-
vention was personally presented to
rs churches on Sunday and q goodly
number have reported that there will
be delegations from their churches.
The committee feel that they have a
splendid addition to the program to
announce. 1t Is an illustrated lecture
on "China's Teeming Millions" by the
Rev r. l. Johnson, district superin.
tendent for the NJ. IL. church. Mr..
Johnson, has made very special
study of China, and being aroused to
the needs of doing missionary work
among these peoples, has developed
thlS lecture, DelieVlnB TINS TO be the
very best way of awakening interest.
This lecture will be given on the clos
ing night.
Mr.. Baldridge's address on "The
Student Volunteer Movement" will In
turn be given in the afternoon. This
arrangement makes a full program for
each session,
1t Is specially asked that all regis.
trations be in by Thursday night or
the week so that the committee will
know how many to provide for at the
banquet. Every man in the county is
eligible to be delegate, the payment
of the registration fee is all that re.
quired. This fee includes plate at
the banquet and all of the sessions of
the convention,

Business Rooms And A Residence
Destroyed By Flames AT An
Early Hour Tuesday
Loss $4,000

Utica, o., March s-The village of
Utica was again visited by very de-
structive fire on Tuesday morning
when several stores and buildings
we're burned In the midst Of the busl-
ness section Of the town. The res.
taurant owned by Boneord & Stafford
was completely destroyed and the
flames spread across narrow alley
just north OF the restaurant catch.
Ing the Antony pool room In the build
ing owned by Mr.. Mckitrlck. Just
north Of the pool room was the c. W..
Jewell hardware store, over which was
flat occupied by Robert Howard and
family. Just north OF the hardware
store was square brick structure In
which Is Shocks cigar store which
was badly damaged. This was as far
north as the fire spread. Just south
OF the restaurant stood one of utlca's
finest dwelling houses owend by MIR.
B. F. Quick, which was occupied by
three families: o. A. Jewell, A. Mason
and Emmett Boyd and their families.
This building was completely destroy.
ed by the flames.
About one-thirty o'clock Tuesday
morning, Miss Louise Belt, a Utica
telephone operator, was awakened
from her sleep by the light rejecting
upon her bedroom window and on look
ing out, she saw that the rear end of
the Boncord & Stafford restaurant
was a mass of flames. AS soon as
possible, the alarm was raised and
fire fighters were soon on the scene,
but with nothing but the small hand
pump at their disposal, not much could
be done in the way of fighting the
flames with water The restaurant
was soon all blazing and the flames
were spreading both north and south.
To the north, the Antony pool room
building began to blaze while the spec
tators stood helpless. In few more
minutes, the Jewell hardware store
was seen to be on fire A great ef-

fort was made to save this building in
some manner but the fire was too
strong to be fought by any means ex-
cept by strong force of water. In
short time the roof Of the building
was blazing briskly and was soon at
the mercy of the fire.
Over the hardware store, as was
mentioned above, the fiat occupied by
Robert Howard was destroyed with
practically all the contents. Just
north of the jewell store stands an.
other square brick structure occupied
by the Shock cigar store which was
saved from complete destruction by
the fire fighters who broke off large
portion of the cornice on the corner
of the building which was blazing.
Much damage however was done to
the store before the blazing parts
could be dislodged. This marked the
end of the progress of the flames north
of the place where they originated.
While the north fire was being CIV
en- so much attention, the blaze began
to gradually work southwark to the
large dwelling house spoken of and
before anything could be done, 1t was
also Mt the mercy of the flames which
for some reason, spread with amazing
rapidlty. South of the dwelling house
is n restaurant owned by Nicholas
Hall. This was badly damaged, but
was partly saved after dint of hard
labor.
The origin of the fire is mystery
as there was nothing left In the res
taurant room when 1t was closed at
IL o'clock, which could cause a fire
to be started. 1t Is evident, however,
that the back OF the room was first
to become ablaze as that was where
1t was first seen.
Accurate figures are not yet obtain.
able as to the loss. but conservative
estimate places the total at at least
S25,OOO
The loss will be partially covered
by insurance.

100000 WANTED
FOR HARBOR WORK
Wilmington Chamber of Com
merCe Calls on City to Fulfil
Its Promises
DEMAND is IN RESOLUTION
Points Out Pledges Given by the
Council Before Election
on Consolidation
DEMAND is IN RESOLUTION

The Wilmington chamber of COM
merce, believing the sale of Los An
geles harbor bonds will be delayed Tor
some time, has asked the city council
to appropriate 100000 out of the city
general fund for the immediate re-
sumption and continuation of the VIII
mington harbor improvements In ful-
fillment of decentralization pledges,
such funds to be restored to the gen
eral fund upon the sale of the bonds.
Formal resolutions to this effect were
adopted by the Wilmington chamber
of commerce at regular meeting helu
last Wednesday. .,
1t is pointed out in the resolutions
submitted to the council that the
granting Of terminal rates to the mar
Dor will create demand for ware
house and factory sites and that the
thirty-seVen acres of municipal prop
erty already filled, with 1000 feet In
front and eighteen foot channel ap-
proaches thereto, is peculiarly adapted
to the requirements of warehouses ana
factories.
1t is stated, furthermore. in the res
olutions that the city of Wilmington Is
paying taxes to redeem and pay the
interest on 100000 bonds assumed FOR
the purpose of defraying expenses arls-
ing from harbor improvement, includ-
ing an unexpected balance of approx
imately 1000 now in the treasury OF
Los Angeles,
1t is claimed that as a result Of the
inactivity of the city the work already
done on the harbor cannot be utilized
and that such work Is rapidly de-
teriorating,
Embodied in the resolutions is copy
of the pledges made by the consolida-
tlon committee and approved by the
council of Los Angeles and all civic
bodies The pledges promised that
work commenced by the city of Will
mington on the -thirty~seven acres
within the city limits would be con-
tlnued without intermission and that
extensive dredging of channels would
be carried on, that municipality owned
and controlled docks, wharves and
warehouses would be constructed, and
that suitable approaches to these would
be provided
