Three Rooms Apparently

Fire headquarters has a mystery on
its hands. Briefly, the facts in the case
are these: Saturday night, sometime
around ~ o'clock, Webster avenue people
discovered smoke pouring out of the
tenement at No. S. One of their number
ran to Joe Shadaoui's mercantile depot
on South Main street and telephoned
Fire Chief c. B. Gladding. The motor
truck and handful of regulars Were
soon forcing an entrance into No. 8.
The tenants, it seemed, had departed.
One-half of the interior was in flames.
At that time the fire appeared to have
started from an oyerheated stove in the
kiehen on the ground floor. The stove
was located in the center of the floor
and the fire had followed course toward
the east wall of the house, thence to the
second story and through the roof. Yes
terday the firemen were saying it was
the hardest fire the crew ever fought
with chemicals alone. Two tanks were
dumped into the partitions and over the
roof. At times the smoke became so
dense that there was nothing to it but
to shatter holes in the windows.
Here is the mystery. Once the fire
on the east side of the house was under
control, the fremen were attracted to
other rooms on the opposite side OF the
structure. In two chambers, fires We're
extinguished only after stubborn effort.
Not long before midnight, the last ember
was quenched and the crew started a
little investigation. Nowhere could lines
OF are communication be found to con.
meet the two detached rooms with the
apparent seat OF the fire in the kitchen.
Yesterday f. G. Rowland and NJ. j..
Rowland joint owners of the tenement.
together with the chief made second
examination of the premises and arrived
at the same conclusion, or lack of con-
clusion, regarding the origin of the fires.
A Spanish family occupied the house,
neither the chief nor the own
ers have been able to ascertain their
names. There are two brothers and a
sister, the housekeeper. Yesterday when
the Messrs. Howland and the chief went
to Webster avenue the erstwhile tenants
We're not to be found.
The loss will approximate $780, The
house was insured. There also is pol
icy of 500 on the furnishings but the
present whereabouts Of the policy is not
known TO the fire department officials,
who are still making an investigation of
the fire. The policy is said to be in the
possession OF one of the former occu-
pants of the building.

Central Vermont station here, arrived
in the city Saturday for a few days
visit before going to st. Albans, where
he has position in the C. V. car shops.
Mr.. Dewey MAS been passing several
months in Augusta, Me.
A small regiment of skaters thronged
the new municipal rink at the Ayers
street driving park Sunday afternoon
and again in the evening. The ice was
even better to-day, for yesterday the
water from a stand-pipe at the corner of
South Main and Ayers street was still
flowing and one end Of the enclosure
had not frozen sufficiently for skating
Saturday afternoon water connections
were made with the North Barre rink on
the West Second street meadows near
the Allen Lumber Co.'S mill. Laborers
from the water department shut off the
connection this forenoon and if the
weather continues cold, the rink win be
ready for skating tomorrow morning.
The two rinks are larger by far than
any in the city. Patrons will be asked
10 assist in the maintenance of each rink
whenever snow interferes with the skat
ing.

Earth Disturbance Contin-
ues but With Abated
Strength

Kagoshima, Japan, Jan. 19.-Three
hundred refugees from Sakura were
buried under falling cliff in the neigh
boring village to-day. One hundred
bodies have been recovered.
This new disaster is the result of the
volcanic eruption and the earthquakes
which for week have devastated the
island of Sakura and wrecked this city,
The disturbance continues but with
activity much subsidized
Several days before the actual erup-
tion banks of smoke were observed
arising from the gnlleys at the base OF
!, Sakura- -Jima. Then ugly roars began
to be heard, and it was thought it must
be Kirishima or some other volcano on
the rampage. But streaks of smoke,
which became huge columns enveloping
the whole nountainside, dispelled this
idea.
The villagers of Sakura rushed to the
boats. Children and bundles were tossed
in together, pell-melI. The bay was
dotted with innumerable flotillas. More
than $50 persons We're killed or injured.

MORE MORTGAGES
ON LIFE POLICIES
Pacific Coast People Are the Biggest
Borrowers in This Manner, Accord
ing to Statistics Just Completed.

New York. Jan. lg.-In an endeayor
to ascertain the causes of the rapid in
crease in mortgages on life insurance
policies in recent years, the association
of life insurance presidents has segre-
gated by state lines S456000000 loans
outstanding to policy holders at the end
of 1911 This investigation, which has
just been finished, shows that the poll
icy holders of certain recognized groups
of states are much larger borrowers on
of other sections.
Those credited with being the small
lest borrowers are the people of the Cen
tral Northern states, the loans in that
section amounting to l3.49 per cent of
the reserves maintained to pay the pol
cies of that section upon their maturity.
1t is stated that the largest borrowers
are the people of the Pacific coast sec
tion, the policy loans there being 2009
per cent. of the reserves. The average
for the United States for the same year,
1911, was 1898 per cent. The reserves
from which this sum of $456000000 was
borrowed amounted to S2,S53, 100000. In
New England the average was l4.l9 per
cent. These figures and percentages are
based on the United States business of
American companies holding 03 per cent.
of the total assets OF the life insurance
companies of this country in 1911.
Much more than half O billion dollars
of life insurance protection will be lost
to widows, orphans and other bene-
ficiaries as result of the policy loans
now outstanding, according to the Asso
cations report giving the results of the
investigation. 1t is declared that ex-
perience shows that a large proportion
of the insurance protection withdrawn
by policy loans is never replaced, the
money being invested elsewhere or
wasted
In making the report public, General
Counsel Robert Lynn Cox of the assoeia-
tion said that no conclusions are stated
in it. "The figures, which speak for
themselves as to the extent and distri-
button of the policy loan practice, are
presented to the American public" he
said, sin the hope OF stimulating study
of the underlying reasons for the recent
large expansion in such loans and the
presentation of remedies therefor"
1t was pointed out at the recent sew
enth annual convention of the associa-
tion that these mortgages on life insur-
ance policies had increased from 3 10
per cent of the reserves in 1883 to 1903
per cent. in 1912 and probably would
reach Is per cent at the end of 1913.
The total reserves in 1912 amounted to
about three and one-half billion dollars.

BRATTLEBORO
FIREMEN INJURED
SUNDAY NIGHT
While Fighting Fire That Destroyed the
Grange Block, Causing a Loss of
45,ooo--Cause of Fire
Is Not Known.

Brattleboro, jan l9.-In the destrue-
tion of the grange block on Elliot street,
owned by Linn d. Taylor, and its con
tents last evening, Brattleboro suffered
a fire loss of $4,000, with insurance of
about S35,O00 The block, three story
brick structure, valued at $4,000, was
gutted by fire that originated in the
cellar. The fact that the exterior walls
did not fall saved the wooden buildings
on both sides and the big barns at the
rear. The firemen fought in a tempera-
ture of 10 degrees above zero, and plenty
OF water and their hard work alone pre-
vented greater loss.
At $3.50, when it was realized that the
building was doomed, Chairman Solon
A. Richmond of the village commission
crs telephoned Greenfield, Mass, and
made arrangements for a special train
and assistance from that town in the
event they We're needed.
The great danger lay in the fact that
a marrow alleyway separated the burn
ing building from large wooden stable,
and still narrower dlleyway was be.
tween the building and a two-story
wooden building owned by the Methodist
church and occupied as store and tene-
ment. The possible need of assistance
was because of the danger from falling
walls and the need of more hose. Every
foot OF the departments hose was in
use. both steamers were called into sery
ice, and the private hose of L, c. Crosby
& Co was brought in an automobile for
the use of the department. The water
supply was ample.
The occupants of the block on the
ground floor are G. 0. Abbott, groceries
and meat, loss total amounting to about
$4,000, partially insured; w. j. Pent-
land. IT., plumbing, loss about S3,000,
partially insured; Patrick Fleming,
plumbing. loss about $4,000, partially in

erty valued at $1,000; Ernest Good
electrician, loss total on stock
Of 81 500; Vermont Wheel club, loss to-
tai on valuation of $1,000. The third
1oor was occupied by Daniel Hall. Ar
mold Pellets loss is estimated at $500.
Three firemen were injured early in
the fight. Lester Barber was struck on
the leg with nozzle that got away
from the fremen and his right leg was
