NO BILL RETURNED IN
THE B. E. JACOBS CASE

After a thorough investigation into
the death some months ago of b. f.
Jacobs who died at his home at the
cypress nsills as the result of an
automobile accident, the Glynn coun-
ty grand jury has returned no bill
against those under investigation.
Following the death of Mr.. Jacobs
it will be remembered, insurance COM
panies refused to pay Mrs. Jacobs
accident policies amounting to some
thing like $17.5OO, on the ground
that Mr.. Jacobs death was not due
to the automobile accident, but that
his death resulted from other causes.
Later the body of the dead man,
which was inferred near Waynesville,
was disinterred for the purpose of
an examination by the physicians.

Salem, Mass, June 25.-The whole
western half of the city is threaten
ed by fire which started this ater-
noon, twenty-five factories being in
ruins at o'clock, with loss esti-
mated at $5,000,000, the fire having
burned over am area of forty acres in
the manufacturing district.
The fire broke out in various estab-
lishments on Baston, Goodhue and
Bridge streets at 2 p. IN.
The police are now on guard to pre-
vent looting and the firemen are
blowing up buildings in an effort to
stop the fire from spreading fur
ther.
Twenty girls are reported dead in
one of the factories, but, the heat
is SO intense that no one can get
within three hundred feet of the
burning zone.
Twenty-Five residences in south Sa-
lem were destroyed, panic reigning
among men, women and children.
More than one hundred persons
driven temporarily insane by fear
and horror were rushed to the yari
Gus hospitals.
The fire spread so rapidly that
many residents along Boston street
were compelled to throw their chill
dren out of the windows to men who
manned blankets in the streets be
low. + '
Tonight it is impossible to give
any clear estimate as to the extent
of the catastrophe, or loss in money
or lives as the fire is still burning
fiercely over a large area.

the motion for a non-suit was made
The attorneys argued that the plain
tiff had failed to make out any case
against the defendant company
and on that ground argued for non.
suit. After hearing arguments from
both sides Judge Conyers sustained
the plea and dismissed the jury.
Mrs. Girvin, as is well known, was
suing the company for $4,000 for
the death of her young son, who was
killed in an accident at the plant OF
the company, when he fell in a vat
