\ German has invented a system of T.
shaped tanks extending from port TO star

\ test has shown that without the tanks
a ship rolled up 10 eleven degrees on each

New York, May 27.-Coney Island.
the playground of New York, suffered
the worst fire disaster of it's history
early today. Dreamland. the largest
of the amusement parks. was wiped
out and about four blocks adjoining,
covered with booths, restaurants, ho-
tells, moving picture thearers and re-
sorts of various types, were destroyed.
The fire started at O'Clock in the
morning and was not under control
until three and a half hours later. The
loss will amount to between $4,000, 900
and $3,000,0O0 In all, about two
and perhaps 1000 persons-conces-
sionaries and employees-were turned
into the streets homeless and penni-
less. No lives were lost.
The fire was discovered. a tiny
blaze, in the tarred scaffolding of
Hell Gate" a scenic railway close to
the entrance to Dreamland. Twenty
minutes after a frightened watchman
had turned in three larms, all Dream
land-ten acres of gaudy. closely
packed buildings-was one blaze.
Close to Hell Gate was the infant
incubator, a charity nursery, in which
were six wee infants and their attend
ants. The children were taken out in
their little glass houses and rushed
out of danger by the police.
Just beyond was the Bostock animal
show, costly collection. including sew
mails were insane through terror. Their
roaring could be heard for many
blocks above the cracking of the
flames and the throbbing of the en-
gines.
The animal trainers lost no time.
While policemen with drawn revolvers
stood at the entrance to guard the
crowd in the streets against any beasts
that might escape, the attendants
drove their charges from the cages
down the runways into the emergency
vans, which are always ready.
Big Lion Escapes.
All went we'll until the transfer was
nearly completed. Then the biggest of
the lions in panic Broke from his
bonds, smashed his way through the
barriers and 1eaped into the streets
already packed by a throng of specta-
tors. He dived straight into the mid
die of the throng. CONSERVATION

mounted policemen lined up in front
of the crowd and opened a fusillade.
backing away, snarling and leaving a
trail of blood from many wounds, the
lion made his way across the avenue
into the dark wooden tunnels of 1.-The
Rocky Road to Dublin In a black cor :
ner beneath painted scenery Of equa-
torial Africa he made his last stand.
Three final volleys were required to
finish him and he sank to the ground
riddled like a sieve.

that the lion was no more, it rushed
in and literally tore the carcass to bits

S. 7. HAZARD NAMED.
Becomes Pension Examiner at Topeka
in Place of G. S. Davis.

The expected shake up in the pen
sion examiners department of the To-
peka pension Office, occurred Friday af-
ternoon when S. T. Hazard, of Wash
ington, D. c., was brought to Topeka
and Charles S. Davis returned to Wich-
ita to take charge of the newly created
pension examiners office.
This change in the Kansas pension
department has been expected for sew
eral weeks. The Topeka Office holds
more knotty problems for the pension
examiners than almost any western
office. When H. W. Morrow was in
and Sundays over Kansas, Missouri
and Nebraska investigating pension
claims. He was happy when the de-
partment returned him to Omaha.
Then'the department closed the Wich-
ita office. Charles S. Davis, a veteran
in the service, was brought to Topeka.
In the three months he has been here,
he has spent about nine-tenthS of his
time looking for pensioners and heirs
of pensioners and investigating the
marriage and divorce records of about
every county in the state. The exami-
ner's office is one of the really strenu-
Gus Jobs in the department. When the
work in the office piled up, the terri
tory was divided and the Wichita Office
reopened-
S. T. Hazard, who will handle the To-
peka division, is a young man who has
spent eleven years in the federal SER
vice. He came to Topeka Friday af-
ternoon from Washington and Davis
| left last night for Wichita.
