IMMENSE LOSS
AND MANYLIVES
THREATENED IN
OREGON BLAZE

Portland, Ore, March 12.-Portland's
harbor front suffered heavy fire loss
early today when two mammoth grain
docks, laden with wheat, were destroy
ed, two large vessels ruined almost
beyond repair and dozen buildings
damaged. A score of Chinese mem
bers of the crew of the Royal Mail
steam packet Glenroy had narrow es-
oapes, many of them jumping into the
river and being picked up by crews
from other craft.
Four firemen barely escaped death
under the collapse of huge bulkhead
and one fire fighter was seriously IN
iured when carried down by crumbling
timbers.
The aggregate property loss was es-
timated at 100000. The two great
wharves. Columbia No. and Mont
gomery No. /, are nothing but char
red piling and smouldering grain. The
steamer Glenroy is an empty sheh
and the steamer Cricket, with her
cargo of 1000 barrels of asphalt, was
cut adrift and burned to the waters
edge.
The New Ferry hotel, a three story
frame building, was damaged, but the
so or more sleeping inmates were
aroused and made their escape.
The fire was caused it is believed,
by a cigarette thrown by some tramp
who had sought lodging in the shelter
of a dock.

FICIALS REFUSE MONEY
AND CONDEMN DANCE

brunswick. Me-, March 12.-Although
three members of the Epwerth League
of the Pleasant Street Methodist
Episcopal church took part in the
threc-act drama, "A Foul Tip" which
was presented at Town hall Monday
evening, and in spite of the fact that
the entertainment and dance which
followed had been advertised as being
given for the benefit of the EpWorth
League, the proceeds of the enter
tainment have been refused by the
church and will probably be divided
among those who took part in the
cast.
The following statement explaining
the refusal of the church to accept
the money was made Thursday morn
ing:
I'VE, the members Of the Quarterly
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church. fully recognize the kindness
and GOOD will of those who provided
the recent entertainment and realize
that their action was due to not fully
appreciating the attitude and law of
our church on the subject of amuse-
mnnts. in Justice to our chrch do
.Resolve. That we were greatly sr-
prised and deeply grieved by the ad-
vcrtisement of dance in connection
with the entertainment given as a ben
eft for the Epworth League, that the
pastor was not consulted, and that
neither the church nor the EpWorth
League are IN any way responsible
for the dance.
Resolved, That according to the
laws and regulations of our church,
moneys cannot be received by the
church or any organization related to
it from any entertainment With winch
a dance is connected.
All arrangements for the entertain
nent and dance were made by men,
bers of the Epworth League and 1t
was a member of the Epworth League
who made the statement at the COM
mencement of the dance that rag
time dancing would not be permitted.
