75 Atlanta Blocks Burned.

Atlanta, Ca, went actively to work
to care for the destitute people from
three thousand homes destroyed In
fire that ragged throughout seventy
five blocks.
1t was stopped only after the dyna.
miting Of beautiful homes on Poncs
de Leon avenue. The property loss
was estimated at 100000 by Mayor
Gambler, who declared that his esti.
mate was conservative. Other esti-
mates ran as high as $5,000,000.
Estimates were that from 10000 to
$4,000 persons are homeless.
The fire started In a warehouse on
Decatur and Fort streets, and drove
first due north and then northeast, at
some points block wide and at times
half mile in width. 1t crossed Ponce
de Leon avenue at one point and swept
down the Boulevard, Ponce de Leon
avenue, the burned area extended from
North Jackson street, some seven
blocks east of Peachtree street, the
principal business section, almost to
the base ball park.
It was the greatest fire in Atlanta's
history since civil war days, when Gen.
eral Sherman decreed it be burned. In
property loss and hardships 1t was
even greater. The city that General
Sherman destroyed had only 10000 In.
habitants.
Destitute persons from the burned
area, which included negroes homes
and costly residences Of while people,
were cared for by tn local Red Cross
and the Associated Charities.
Only one person is known to have
died as result of the fire. Mrs. Bes-
sic Hodges died of shock after har
home was destroyed.

BANDITS ROB AUTOIsTS
Shoot Driver of Car, Mistaking Him
for Rich Golfer.

One man shot, probably fatally,
when two unmounted bandits held
up an automobile containing five per.
sons and robbed the occupants of $3.50,
on the Port Vue road, about two miles
from McKeesport, Pa.
Paul Kopick, of Port Vue, who was
driving, was slow in bringing the car
to stop and putting his hands above
his head at a command from the ban
bits. He was shot in the left groin
and tumbled from the auto. From his
PROSTATE form the bandits took S132.
The other occupants of the car were
lined up alongside and their pockets
rifed. From Felix Morris, of Nc
Keesport, the bandits took 500; from
J. B. Sack, c. NcKeesport, s12, AMI
from Tony Gresky, of McKeesport, 3d.;
Frank Chopsky carried no money.
After. warning the occupants of the
