Fire broke out upstairs in the
building occupied by w. Newell
Smith Auto Co. Tuesday evening at
o'clock, and in few minutes the
entire building was wrapped in flames
The adjoining buildings had very
narrow escape, while the garage,
with the total machinery, tools and
automobile accessories We're destroy
ed. The insurance carried was only
$4,000; the value of the building and
equipment was about $4,000. Nine
automobiles We're also burned, three
of them owned by w. Newell Smith,
and six owned by citizens who had
housed their cars in the building Off
the night.
The cars burned were: three be-
longing to w. Newell Smith; Oh.
belonging to each Of the following:
w. c. Thomson, Bullock's Creek; J.
Roy FAINT, Lockhart; Hames Grocery
Co., Union; Lawrence Smith, Union;
Simon Smith, Union; Mrs. Nj. L.
Coleman, Georgia. There was one
the fire, and the property of the
company.
Much sympathy is felt for Mr..
hohiiIl, Iiie lledu VI lIle concern, Tor
he had, by hard work and strict
economy, built up fine machine
shop, and mis- loss is very heavy.
The fire originated with an explo-
sion, which occurred at 7 o'clock
Tuesday evening, and was first seen
upstairs and in the rear of the build
ing. Many people heard the explo-
sion and one eyewitness said he was
passing along, noticed volumes of
black smoke and then the explosion
which sent part of the roof off and
huge flame skyward.
The watch repair shop of Simon
Smith, located between the Express
Office and the burned building was
also burned, but most of the goods
were removed. The Express office
caught on fire on top, but the flames
were eXtinguished as often as the
roof caught on fire.
The Southern Bell Telephone had
their cable burned, and the electric
light wires were destroyed. Both
were promptly repaired, and early
the following morning had been put
into commission.
While the fire was raging snow an.
sleet were falling heavily. This fact
and the very efficient work done by
the Union Fire Department, prevent
ed confiagration that threatened to
destroy large section of the city.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. Sept. 30. - Wireless
telephone communication across the
continent was accomplished for the
first time today, when experiments ex-
tending over several months culmi-
mated In successful transmissions OF
the human voice by radio from the
great naval plant at Arlington, Va, to
the station at Mare Island, Cal, $500
miles away.
The experiments were conducted
under direction of Captain Bullard,
chief of the navy's radio service. In
cooperation with the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and
the Western Electric Company.
Great Changes Forecast.
Secretary Daniels, in announcing the
result tonight. predicted that further
development of wireless telephony
would make great changes in long
distance communication, both for mill
tary and naval service and in COM
mercial usage.

easily with the Mare Island station,
the conversation travelling over an or

The use of such long distance wire

valuable use can be made of this won
