NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 2S.--
Nearly 700 buildings in the residential
section of East Nashville are in ruins,
representing a loss of nearly $2,OOO.-
600. Approximately 5000 people are
homeless, and many of the city's most
magnificent public and private insti-
buttons, churches and schools are
burned to the ground. One person III
dead, several are said to be fatally
injured and many were more or less
seriously hurt wednesday In the IRE
that swept from the corner Of First
and Oldham streets fifteen blocks tn
southeasterly direction to Lenore
street The flames, which we're carried
onward before gale that blew be-
tween forty and fifty miles an hour.
swept everything before it for a width
Of two blocks.
The Are started at the corner OF
First and Oldham streets. Investiga-
ton of C. w. Schuyler, commissioner
of the department Of fire prevention,
showed last night that the fire started
when negro boy snatched burning
yarn ball from out Of crate ana
threw 1t out the door. Dried grass In
the yard ignited. The cabin blazed up.
and within few minutes the flames
had spread into a pile Of shavings In
the rear of the planning mill OF Sea-
graves G. Co. The sparks and embers
from the mill were carried for blocks
by the high wind. The flames broke
out several squares away The fire
department was helpless in its efforts
to stop the flames and within thirty
minutes after the little boy made such
a desperate effort to save his toy.
Chief Rozetta had his companies make
a flank movement, as it were.
No further attempt was made to
stop the onward rush of the flames.
Realizing the impotency of such an CT
fort in the face of a tornado, the vet
eran chief directed his forces In hold
ing the fire within as narrow path
way as possible And for five hours
when the wind died down to twenty
five or thirty miles, the department
held the fire directly In its course. At
AFRO the last house, tiny frame
house. just across Lenore street, was
burned. The most disastrous fire
Nashville his ever experienced was
out, and the attention of the city was
directed to the 5000 or more home
less people. The city Immediately be-
gan its campaign to feed and clothe
them, and to find temporary quarters
in which they may live.
The disaster undoubtedly was the
most awe-inspiring spectacle ever wit
messed in Nashville. Thousands Of
people stood by and watched as the
tornado of fame drove merciiessly on
and on until its apparently irresistible
force was spent. On every side II was
iikened unto the rush Of mighty
army az II sweaps everything hesora
It. And like the defeated army that
gives way before the mighty forces Of
an overpowering foe, the residents Of
East Nashville fought every inch Of
the way. The fear in the hearts or
every man, woman and child was de-
picted in their faces as they watched
the flames coming toward them,

WILL FIGHT FORD
Dupont Powder Company to
Wage War on Peace Angel.
Walter Durant the General-in-
Chief Opposing Him.

Detroit. Mich. Jan. 12.-Henry
Ford and Walter Durant are the prin-
cipals i'll a gigantic struggle in which
millions of dollars will be expended in
competition, according to men close to
both magnates.
The two men hold exactly opposite
views on international affairs. Ford
opposes war and all plans for war,
while the Dupont Powder company in
terests are said to be behind Durant
in wide reaching plan to monopoliZe
the trade in munition supplies.
1t is asserted that Durant is about
to place upon the market a car that
will compete with the Ford. 1t is to
be produced by the General Motors
organization and rumor now says
James CouZenS, who recentlv left the
Ford organization, will be employed
as the chief director of this new or
Sanization, although Couzens's friends
deny this.
The wizards of Wall street are using
Walter c. Durant to break down the
plans and preparations of Henry Ford
against war preparedness, Ford s
friends now claim.
Ford is now maintaining a paid lob
by of newspaper men at Washington
to fight President Wilson's prepared
ness program and it is alleged that
these agents are meeting opposition at
every point from Durant's paid agents.
Friends of both men said the lines of
the first skirmish are just being
formed, but when the battle is on in
earnest, its limits will reach to the
national capital and will become in
ternational in scope

WILL Be The FINEST
Grace Cathedral VIII Have No Equal
in the West.

The completion of Grace cathedral
this year will add another show place
to Topeka's list of unusual attractions
to the visitor within the citys gates
1t will be the finest cathedral be-
tween Chicago and the Rocky noun
tains, according to Dean Kaye. There
Will be nothing in this part of the
west that will approach it. Every
thing that has been put into the edi-
flee is of the very finest material. The
interior. as well as the exterior is of
solid stone, and there will be no plas-
ter anywhere. The entire building
will be cut stone. The roof is of the
best English red thing, underneath
which is covering of two and a half
inch thick boards. with heavy coating
OF tar and asbestos. The windows will
be magnificent, and the organ, which
will cost $40, 900, will be the finest this
side of the famous Mormon temple
organ in Salt Lake City. The chimes
Will be the very best, and with addi-
ton of the spires, every citizen of To-
peka, regardless Of church creed, will
be proud OF the cathedral 1t will
stand open day and night and all citi-
zens wishing to visit it and show it to
friends will be cordially welcomed, as
slgntseers or as worshippers.
For these reasons it is felt that the
completion OF Grace cathedral is not
matter confined to UNCONVENTIONAL
lines. but it is as broad as the city and
arfects the interests of everybody az

regards the matter. He is not a mem
Der of the Episcopal church, but is a
progressive, broad gagged citizen who
is a staunch supporter of every for
ward movement. He is chairman of
the citizens soliciting committee. Dis
cussing the campaign today, he said
Grace cathedral must be completed
and it is our duty to give assistance,
whatever may be necessary, so that it
can be done this year. We have wait
ed too long already. The Episcopa-
lians and Dean Kaye have done much
for Topeka and we owe it to them to
see them through with this, their
greatest undertaking. l am sure we
have enough appreciation for Bethany
college, Christ's hospital and all the
other parish institutions here to en-
list our generous sympathies. Our
committees have not gone forth blow
ing horns We have approached the
people of Topeka and put the cathe-
dral up to them a matter of civic
pride and duty and l am sure we are
not going to fail. Let everybody give
to the fund as he feels able, under all
the circumstances, and there will not
be any difficulty in raising the money"
The total subscriptions to the fund
now amount to $4,000.

WAITED FOR WHISTLE

No one ever suspected it, but the

young and old, who know how to start
a balky team. Two men, with a team,
were trying to deliver some roofing
compound at the city building, and
when the wagon struck a rut in the
yard east of the building the horses
stopped. 1t wasn't much of a load nor
much of a rut. But the horses appar-
emily made up their minds early in the
game that they couldn't pull the load
out and that there was no use trying
While the men were trying various
expedients a crowd of city hall folks
gathered in the windows and it devel-
oped that everyone had had world
of experience in dealing with balky
horses. They had started them under
all sorts of circumstances. They Of
fered the benefit of their experience
to the drivers, free, absolutely free.
But for some reason the advice didn't
apply to this particular tam and even
tually the two men unloaded the
wagon and delivered the compound by
hand. After thinking the matter over
carefully and, incidentally just as the
whistles announced the noon hour, the
team moved off.

AN EMPTY TREASURY

The Democratic party is claiming
credit for prosperity, although every
body knows that the prosperity caused
by war orders ard big crops is not due
to the Democratic party.
How about the prosperity of Uncle
Sam? If the government itself is
prosperous under the management of
the Democratic party, there is nothing
to say.
Uncle Sam is not prosperous. He
is in a hole. His treasury has a de-
felt, and his managers have piled up
lot Of expenditures at the recent ses-
sion of Congress which forced the i'm
position Of new taxes and the issu-
ance of bonds. Uncle Sam must go
into debt at this time when the Demo-
Gratis are boasting Of prosperity.
The excess of disbursements over
receipts has reached $25,OOO,OOO since
the first of July. That is only the
beginning. Many disbursements have
been carried over" on the books, and
will show up next year. If the Demo-
Gratis are successfully in November
they need not care. If they lose they
will turn the deficit over to the Re
puhlicans.
The total appropriations this year
will run over $4,000, 100000. This
is now a two-b;llion- dollar-a-y year gov
ernment, so far as expenses go under
a Democratic administration. But it
! is not billion dollar country

primary means, such as the customs
duties. internal revenue. public lands
receipts, etc. So the Democratic par
