TO Assist Salem People


WASHINGTON, June 25.-Benita
Bicknell. general director of the Red
Cross, wired offers Of assistance to
he authorities at Salem, Mass. He
also instructed Gardner Lane at Bos-
ION to make such further offers of
assistance as he deemed necessary.
He suggested that the Boston Asso-
slated Charities, a Red Cross auxil-
airy, send experienced men to Salem
10 determine how the stricken city
could be helped best.
At the request of Representative
5ardner, of Massachusetts,, Secretary

Fort Warren at Boston, to make a
Tull report on conditions at Salem.
The war department stands ready to

scented the situation to the officials
so that Director Bicknell granted the
equest of Miss Mabel T. Boardman,
hartman of the National Relief
Board Miss Boardman is now at her
summer home at Manchester, near

Salem Famous as a City
of Colonial Day Relics

Salem, one of the county seats of
Essex county, Massachusetts, Law
renee being the other, had a nonI1la
ton in 1910 of 1887.
The city was settled in 1926 nv
Roger Conant. The settlement was a
commercial venture, partly agricul-
tural and partly a sheltering place
Tor banks fishermen. 1t became the
seat of government of the colony of
Massachusetts, Bay with John Endi-
colt and later John Winthrop as
governor. The latter removed the
authority to Charlestown and then to
Boston.
In 1929 the first Congregational
Church in America was organized
there, and one of its first pastors was
Roger Williams, who fled in 1886 to
Rhode Island to escape arrest by the
Boston officials.
The people of Salem in 1886. for EGO
obtained a deed from the Indians for
the land they held. The famous
witchcraft delusioR of 1892 centred
about Salem Township for a year,
when the bubble suddenly exploded
and number of prisoners held UNI
der the charge were released by Gov
ernor Phips.
The First Provincial Assembly of
and on February 20, 1775, the first
armed resistance to British troops
was made at North Fields, between
Salem and Danvers. Salem was char
tered as city in 1886. 1t was an i'm
portant seaport after 1870, and many
privateers set out from there in the
Revolution and the War of 1912.
Probably more than any city Of it's
size in the country Salem was full Of
relics of Colonial days. There are
many houses built before 100, among
them Nathaniel Hawthorne's birth
place, built before 1892. Another hous,
now constructed and used as a social
settlement is pointed out as the orig
iral House of the Seven Gables"
Rich old ship owners spared no ex-
pense in putting up fine and lasting
dwellings,, mostly of the gambred
type with many beautiful doorways,
doorheads and other details. The
Corwin or witch house. so-called
from a tradition that Jonathan Cor
win, one of the judges in the witch
craft trials, held preliminary eXami-
nations there, is said to have been
the property of Roger Williams. The
Pickering house was built in 1860.
Of later buildings Hamilton Hall
1900 was one of the finest, as was
also the residence of Benjamin c.
Crowninshield, secretary of the navy
IN 1914
Washington SquaI :, eight acres in
extent, is the centre of the city and
there are various other parks and
ourying grounds hundreds of years
old.
OF the churches the oldest is the
First Unitarian. which dates from
1929, having started as a Congrega-
tional Church.

10000 HOMELESS
/ IN SALEM'S FIRE
Continued from First Pagel


buildings and the museums, with
their priceless collections of antiqui-
ties, were spared. The birthplace OF
Nathaniel Hawthorne, the House of
Seven Gables" and the old custom
house were threatened for a time, and
the flames approached dangerously
close to the Peabody Museum and the
Essex Institute, but none of these
structures were damaged
Militia Patrols Streets.
The companies of militia summoned
TO assist in maintaining order pa
trolled the streets today. Martial law
was not declared, but no one was per-
mitted to approach the fire-swept
area without a pass. Only one at
tempt at looting was discovered.
On the Common and in open spaces
IN the outskirts Of the city thousands
of refugees tried to find a little rest
during the night. Many stretched
themselves out on the grass, others
had managed to save mattresses or
rocking chairs from their burning
homes. Little groups huddled to-
sether about piles of household goods
Some of the children were frightened
and crying, others hailed the nights
adventures as a lark.
From o'clock yesterday afternoon,
when a terrific explosion occurred in
the factory of the Korn Leather
Company, at Proctor and Boston
streets, the flames ragged practically
unchecked until midnight. The ex-
plosion is thought to have occurred
among highly inflammable chemicals
used in the manufacture of patent
Gather. This factory stood near the
foot of Gallows Hill, famous as the
hanging places of witches in early
Colonial days, at the western end of
the city.
Wind Famed Flames.
A high wind carried the flames
through the manufacturing district
and thence southeastward to the
heart of the city and across a thick
~ populated tenement district TO the
waterfront. A shift in the wind sent
the fire northward along Lafayette
street, where scroes of the city's
finest residences were burned The
fire spread out to another manufac-
turing centre on the shore of the
harbor and destroyed large factories
In the intervening area scores of
business houses were swept away.
The Salem Hospital was among the
buildings burned, but all the patients
were safely removed.
Great quantities of apparatus from
neighboring cities assisted in fighting
the flames and finally succeeded in
checking their passage southwark. To
the eastward they burned themselves
out at the waters edge. The final
stand was made near the Boston and
Maine railroad station. Here several
buildings Were dynamited and the
firemen at last gained the upper hand,
saving the northeastern part of the
city.
A separate fire, which the police say
was of incendiary irogin, destroyed
thirteen dwellings in North Salem and
threatened the plant of the Salem Oil
Company.

STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

The demand for registered hogs is
greater than the supply, according to
reports from Colfax, Wash, and some
breeders are sending east for hogs to
supply the demands.
G. f. Johnson and son Of Pullman,
Wash, are stocking a 40-acre ranch
with thoroughbred hogs and propose
to operate an all-hog ranch, which is
said to be the first of its kind in Whit
man county.
The crop reporting bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture estimates the
winter wheat outlook as follows: Area
sown this fall is Sc per cent more
than the revised estimated area sown
in the fall of 1912, equivalent to an in
crease of 2,sSS.0O0 acres, the indicat-
ed total area being 36,506,000 acres.
The condition on December 1 was 97.2,
against 1872 and S6.6 on December 1,
1912 and 1911, and a ten-year average
of 1872.
Based upon the notices required by
the state agricultural department, dur
ing the spring of 1913, 900,31O trees
grown within the state were sold and
637.7S2 trees shipped into the state
from outside. If these were all plant
ed it would mean that the total acre
age would be 246,653 apples, 36,703
stone fruits and 8,495 berries. A close
estimate for grapevines is 324 acres,
nuts 2,O25 acres, ornamental shrubs,
1,771 acres, making a total in the
state of ,971 acres.
