''Flatiron" Building
Destroyed At Min0t
Daily News and Many Other Concerns
Suffer Great L0sses-Total Put
At 100000

Minot, Dec. pa fire which start
ed from a gasoline explosion when
John Beckman attempted to light the
coffee boiler in the Calumet restaur-
ant at 4:3O a. m. yesterday, complete
" gutted the Flatiron building, To-
Gated on Central avenue at the south
end of the viaduct, causing . prop
ertay damage Of 100000. with q
probable insurance of $4,000 and put
ting the plant of the Daily News out
of commission and inficting loss
impossible to determine at this time
on the paper. A number of families
who were living in the flats which
were located on the upper story of the
building were left homeless and all OF
them were forced to flee in forty de-
grees below zero weather in their
night clothes.
When Mr.. Beckman turned on the
gasoline to start the generator in
the coffee boiler, it is evident he al
lowed more than the required guam
tity OF gasoline to escape and the
holder into which the gasoline is burn
ed to develop the gas, overflowed and
ran over the shell upon which the
boiler was located and onto the floor
underneath. When he touched q
match to the gasoline the entire
quantity of spilled fluid instantly
caught fire, wrapping the room in
flames.
The building was owned by w. M.
Smart and was worth $4,000. on
which he had $4,000 insurance. 1t
was 1O5 feet long on Central avenue
and 35 feet deep at the east end,
tapering to almost a point at the
west end. 1t was erected abo.lt three
years ago. 1t was of brick. The up
per floor besides having a number OF
apartments, was occupied by Jour
gen Olson Co., investment bankers,

The street floor was occ lpied by
Fred Howard. who operated barber

ing; D. C. Mitchell, who had con-
fectionery; the business office of the

Organizes Relief
Work In Montana
DIR. David Lays Foundation For WOrl;
of Collecting Funds For Syrian
Sufferers

DR.. T. H. David has just returned
from a trip to several of the prin
cipal cities of Montana, including
Havre, Great Falls, Butte, Joplin and
Chinook, where in connection with
others, he laid the foundation for a
campaign for funds for the relief of
the suffering Syrians and Armenians.
AS secretary Of the North Dakota
Syrian Relief Committee, Doctor Da-
vid from his headquarters in vii.
liston has during the past severa!
months carried on successful lehe1
campaign in North Dakota.
Montana has larger Syrian pop
ulation than North Dakota and, with
its high degree of prosperity, brought
about by bumper wheat crop, is
in a position to contribute generously
to this urgent call for help. Doctor
David carried with him to Montana
credentials to prove his authority to
engage in the work and his reputa
tion for integrity, signed by several
prominent Williston officials and by
Governor Hanna. The doctor met
with an encouraging spirit of coop
Grafton at the hands of the press and
of individuals. The Great Falls .rri-
bune publishes the story Of meeting
in that city at which an organization
for relief work was effected with Mr..
David as chairman. The work as con-
templated in preliminary plans, will
include tag days, illustrated lectures
on Syria, and public subscriptiions.
Prominent people in each city will be
interested in the work.
After the campaign in Montana,
Doctor David, who is deeply concern
ed over the plight of the people in his
native country, expects to assist with
campaigns in several other Mountain
and Coast states. He is devoting his
time to the work without compensa-
tiOn.

The War Causes It.
New Peace Argument

Something must be done and that
before very long. The food specula-
tors must be ferretted out and pro-
secuted, the European war must be
stopped, production must be incrcas-
ed, or else a crimp put in prosperity
in order that consumption may be
reduced-most anything to bring the
high cost of living down within the
reach of the average young man.
The matter is really becoming Sc
rious. The fact was disclosed here
this week by Judge Butler that there
is a direct relation between the II. C;
L. and the dreaded tendency toward
race suicide. Here are the cold stub
born figures:
Marriage licenses issued in 1915
1872. .n.,
Marriage licenses issued in 1916
IA.
In spite of prosperous times and
increasing population, in spite OF the
fact that a marriage license IS one
of the few things that has not gore
up in price but can still be obtained
for a bushel and half of whe It or
two bushels of potatoes, and further,
in spite of the fact that 1916 was
leap year, there has been an actual
falling off in the volume Of matrl-
mon;al business of eleven per cent.
This is something of vital interest
to ministers, justices of the peace.
probate judges, furniture dealers,
grocers and landlords: something
Will certainly have to be done. Per,
haps the legislature can be INDUCED
to start an investigation; possibly
the matter can be put under the su-
pervision of the supreme court.
Not only was there falling of IN
the total number of marriage licenses
in 1916 as compared with the num-
Der in 1915, but there were no tenn
porary spurts to equal the speed rec
ord of November 1915 when 26 II
censes were issued. October 1916
made creditable attempt to equal
that record when "a men took vows
to love, cherish, and build the kitchen
fire for partners who promised to
love, honor and (sometimes) obey
and to keep the buttons sewed on.
An upward tendency in matrlmon-
ial stock is indicated by last weeks
record of ten licenses.
