 DESTROYED BY FIRE
An Automobile Truck and a Garage Arc Also Burned in Bad Fire
 on Stanley Street.

A destructive fire which destroyed
 TOO gallons of gasoline and for time threatened serious conf1agration, gave the firemen a hard battle about
 D D. m. yesterday at John F. Ma guire's property, 551 Stanley street. It was only after hard work by the fire men, coupled with good luck, that the damage was confined to the loss 1 of the gasoline, the destruction of f1ve-ton automobile and partial dam age to a garage, On discovery of l the blaze an alarm was sounded from Box PIP at the corner of John and Pleasant streets On arriving at the
 scene, Assistant Chief William J. Noble
 ordered a second alarm sounded from <, Box 22 at Fairview and Kelsey streets. i The hremen encountered the hard 1 est work in eAtinguishing the blaze
 Which started in an old wagon re- lScently purchased by MT. Mcguire from
 the Standard Oil company. MT. Ma 1 gulre had Intended to use the wagon
 as tank until the gasoline supply 1 had been exhausted, and then to put it 1 underground. The fire started when
 one of Maguire's employees left a
 lighted lantern near the wagon, and l started to draw gasoline from the
 tank. The fumes of the gasoline ge- came ignited. Fortunately a wooden ! plug which had been substituted by 1 MT. Mcguire a few days ago for the { metal plug, blew out thus averting an 1 explosion which would have proved fatal.
 | The sky was soon illuminated by
 the shooting flames that leaped 40 1 feet in the air. This fact caused sev- ] eral wild rumors in circulation around 1 the center of the city, and for a time ] considerable anxiety was shown. II l required over hour of hard work by the firemen before the blaze was finally conquered. Several houses ir the vicinity were scorched from the 1 flames.

 MT Klock has, since tho beginning of tho war, worked indefatigably and very unselishly as one of the leading Germans and as secretary for tho 'Deutschen Hiefesussehusses fur Bos- ton ond Umbebung' (German auxiliary committee for Boston and surround ings.) In the main, we must thank his activities for the fact that the war auxiliary work has not stopped in Bos- ton, that it has had operatively note- worthy results-75, ,000-and that it has been possible to unite, although with the greatest difficulties the Ger man elements in Boston, so torn ape.t as they may be in all social classes, in the auxiliary work Proof for this is given by the Popular festival in Sep tenn Der in which 65 German societies and the Germans ship officers took part with good success (sS,00O.) When there were difficulties among the Germans and the Commandment cans of Boston, MT. Won Klock showed himself as an extremely perspicacious man, and as one who has been very helpful to the interests of the cause. 'Mr. Muhleder, too, is known as one of tho most jealous and capable CO., operators in the auxiliary work in Bos- ton, and as a scrupulously exact treas urer. However. neither he nor MT. Von Klock have been given either by word of mouth or in writing, the ex- elusive privilege of receiving money for the German Red Cross.'
