Mayor Fitzgerald, Of Boston. wired
that he believed the ire TO be under
control.
I Famed by high wind, an insig-
nificant fire which started near the
corner OF Broad and Union streets,
south OF the city hall. about o'clock
Sunday afternoon, wiped out practi-
cally all the business section Of the
city and swept uncontrolled into the
residential sections. Half an hour
after the first alarm had been sounded
nearly dozen buildings were in
flames and the fire was eating its way
northerly up Broad and Exchange
streets on either side Of Kenduskeag
stream. In its pathway were banks,
ONCE buildings, the public library and
other structures. all Of which were
reduced to ashes.
The city was soon shut OF from
telepbonic communication by the
burning of she central Office OF the
New England Telephone and TeIe-
graph company, and calls for aid from
Portland. Lewiston and Augusta we're
sent out by the wire chief OF the COM
pany. who climbed pole and cut in
on trunk line. The telegraph COM
panies' Offices were both burned dur
Ing the early stages OF the conAagra-
tion. but they later established tempo
rary Offices outside the zone and COM
munication was resumed.
Origin Uncertain.
There are varying reports as TO the
exact spot where the fire originated.
Several alarms we're sounded almost
simultaneously. In addition to the
hre at the corner Of Broad and Ex-
change streets. the firemen found a
blaze In a bicycle repair shop in the
rear OF The telephone Office. Both
fires spread with such rapidity that
the fremen were helpless.
One Of the few buildings 10 escape
destruction was the city hall at the
Junction of Broad. State and Ham,
mond streets This was In the direct
path Of the firc, but the flames leaped
over Il and II was hardly scorched.
AT this point the flames crossed the
Kenduskeag and continued along both
sides OF the stream.
As II burned north, the path OF de-
struction grew wider. while sparks
set innurnerable fires. many OF them
a considerable distance from she main
confagration.
Dynamite Used Freely.
An Intellectual attempt was made to
stay the progress OF the flames by
dynamiting several buildings, intlud-

spiracy on the part of organized capi-
tai In this country to crush organized
labor by crime and violence"
The communication calls upon the
locals to raise money for the defense
