BANGOR PLANS
EVEN NOW To
REBUILD CITY
Stricken Families Being Cared
For Without Any Aid
From Outside
Mayor Mullen's Public Safety
Committee Bringing Order
Out of Chaos
Especial from United Press. }

Bangor, Me-, May 2-When Bangor
awoke, today, 40 city blocks, laid waste
by Sundays devastating fire, presented
the same picture of desolation as yes
terday but there was evident more
than ever a general spirit of optimism.
Already plans for the rebuilding Of
the city are being made and with all
the sufferers provided for, largely
through the benef1cience of citizens
whose property escaped the fire, the
problem has been greatly simplified.
Mrs Jennie Johnson, the city mis-
sionary, reported to the mayor that
she found but rs families in need of
immediate assistance and practically
all of these are, today, being cared
for by the city without outside aid
Most of the homes destroyed were
those of the well to do and this, Of
course, reduced suffering to a mini
mum. 1t was practically established
that the conflagration was caused by
a careless smoker. The hay shed,
where the flames were first seen, was
a favorite haunt for tramps andjust
before the alarm was sounded, Sum
day afternoon, a number of these were
seen ip the shed playing cards and
smoking.
The militia and University cadets
guarding the ruins have been provid-
ed with ball cartridges and the author
tiles declare that any attempt at pill
laying will be met with summary ac-
ton. 1t is notable, however, that SO
far there has been practically no dis
order and no instances of attempted
looting have been reported.
The gigantic task of bringing order
out of indescribable chaos was be-
gun, today, by the committee of pub
lie safety appointed, last night, by
Mayor Mullen. This committee, COM
posed of the most representative citi-
zens Of Bangor, practically supercedes
In authority, for the time being, the
city government. Its first act was to
declare the city will be rebuilt by
Bangor people and with Bangor
money,
A revised census shows that 2S5
dwellings were destroyed and that,
today, 135 merchants and other. -bus-
inessmen are looking for temporary
quarters. Telephone service will be
impossible for week and 1t is not
thought probable that the trolley cars
Will be operated again for at least
month.
AS the city comes to a realization
of the material loss it goes further
and discovers the loss of objects that
cannot easily be replaced. In Broad
way there were scores of majestic
elms the pride of the city. Today,
nothing but charred stumps remain.
In the fine old houses that lined this
restricted thoroughfare were hum
dreds of heirlooms, the loss of which
is irreparable. The collection of rare
books in the public library was also
total loss.
About two and half million dollars
insurance was carried on the build.
ings destroyed and the local agents OF
the insurance companies have assur-
ed the committee Of public safety that
the losses will be paid promptly.

Hayward, Wis. May 2.-The trial

Cameron Dam, for the killing of De-
putty Sheriff Oscar Harp, who was
shot during the armed raid at Dietz'

spent last night with his wife, son
would not permit attorneys to repre-

defense.
The state plans to put on the stand

Battle of Cameron DAM" in which
Harp was killed, was the elimination
of long and bitter fight Dietz had
against the mammoth Weyerhauser
Lumber Company. Dietz claimed that
he had a right to collect a toll on ell
logs fioated through Cameron Dam.
The lumber people made him q COM
promise which he refused. The lum-
Der people threatened to tear down
the dam whereupon Dfetz stood guard
with his sons, heavily armed. During
the fight for the dam several persons

sauntered up the street, and meeting
