BANGOR, MAINE,
SWEPT BY FIRE
Fully One Third Of the City Is
Entirely Destroyed by
the Flames.
THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Two Known to Be Dead and Esti-
mated Property Loss Is So
100000 Food and
Clothing Needed.
Associated Press Special.

Bangor, Me, May Hungry,
wet, homeless and practically exhaus-
ted by the long fight with the fire
which last night destroyed one third
of this city thousands this morning
faced the problem of obtaining food
and shelter. The loss to property is
eonservatively estimated at six mil
lion dollars. Two lives are known to
be lost and half dozen are reported
injured.
The burned area includes abeH
forty square blocks in both the busi-
ness district and part of the finest
residence section of the city, The
rain which started late at night help
ed put out the fire. Dawn showed
hundreds of persons grouped about
bonfires or stretched along the edges
of the smoking ruins trying to dry
their clothing and keep warm. Every
train into the city today brought
food and other supplies for the suf-
ferers.
Starting in a hay shed on Broad
street, the fire swept along Broad
and Exchange streets through the
heart OF the city. leaving residences,
churches, schools, business blocks
and all the public buildings with tn,
exception of the city hall, q mass .
smoking ashes.
For many hours the firemen Q

quered il. Dynamite proved OF little
avail. Buildings We're blown up, but
the flames easily 1eaped the chasms
thus made and it was not until the
wind, which had been blowing almost
gale during the night, shifted and
light rain fell, that there was any
indication the firemen would win.
Cheered by the help from this unex-
pected quarter the fire fighting force
concentrated near the torner of
Hammond and Central streets, near
ly two miles from the start of the
b axe, and there the spread of the
flames was checked at midnight.
Telephone and telegraph operators
stuck to their posts and sent out IN
formation and calls for help until
they had not a moment to spare to
make their escape. The Associated
Press operator, in the Postal Tele-
graph office, sat at his key sending
and receiving messages while the
fire ragged hardly fifty feet away
from him.
Thousands of persons spent the
night in the streets some from
choice, but many because their
homes were either burned or in dan
ger.
The fire is considered by insur
ance people the worst that Maine has
known since the Portland fire in
1866, when q large part of the bust
ness section of that city was destroy
ed with loss~Sf 100000.
Bangor has a population of nearly
% 900 by the 1910 census and the
latest figures show a real estate val
uation of s16,S9S,967,

Dallas, Texas, May 1.-Two depu-

BREED THEATER.

One of the novel pictures on today's biI at the Breed $ the one entitled Capturing a Wild Man. This interest ing film tells of the folly of being a braggart, for an Englishman who is a member of a yachting party in the South Seas has boasted of his fear less makeup, tries to make himself solid with the girls by telling of his wonderful exploits with a gun. While passing an uninhabited island, all of the party resolve to go ashore to hunt goats. The Englishman and the girls become separated from the rest of the party. and just as the boastful hero is relating one of his tales of bravery a wild man puts in his appearance. The hero leaves in a hurried, distracted manner. the girls being thrust upon their own resources.
 How the wild man is finally captured and the thrilling incidents leading up to the capture cannot be described, but mus be seen to be appreciated.
 The wonderful story of Tennessee, produced under the title of A Ten nessee Love Story, is precise and in- teresting tale of the hills in this old section. The adequate genuine old home utilized as backgrounds for this presentation are some of the gems of the picture.
