MOST DISASTROUS fire IN
HISTORY OF CITY WITH LOSS
WHICH may REACH $265, 600

The most disastrous fire
in the history Of Webster
City early Sunday morning
completely wiped out the
Northwestern Felt Shoe
Company's plant, including
both it's original building
and the armory opera house
building, which was pur-
chased last year and oc-
cupied as a part of the plant,
Quilted the old Cadillac gar
age and burned to the
ground the Guy F. Bissell
blacksmith shop.
The total loss will approx
innate $265, 900. The North
western Felt Shoe Company
sustained the largest loss,
estimated by w. G. Burleson,
treasurer and general man
ager, to be upwards Of $780,
600. The company carried
approximately $126,500 in
surance, leaving a net loss
Of some S124,00O. Whether
it will be possible for the
company to resume business
is not yet determined, but
the outlook is not encourag-
ing. The origin Of the fire
is unknown.
Low Pressure ut Start.
The fire was discovered shortly be-
fore :, o'clock in the morning fiy
Robert Pringle, night eypressman.
The blaze, which caught in the
shoe company's factory building. had
made big Roadway when discovered. |
II spread rapidly and it was not long
until the armory building adjoining
was ablaZe.
Later. the former Chas. J. Singer
Cadillac building, which was rented
by the shoe company, but was empty,
caught fire. The Guy Bisscll black
smith shop. frame building adjom-
ing the armory on the east, also caught
fire and soon burned to the ground.
The three buildings, the shoe factory
and the armory, built of brick. burn
cd rapidly and made fire which it
was almost impossible to fight 1t
made additional headway. due to lack
of water pressure during the first
twenty minutes after the arrival of
the fire company and truck. when the
pressure was so light that water could
not be thrown to the second story
The amount of hose owned by the city
was also inadequate to fight fire Of
this size. Twice as much could have
been used TO advantage. One string
was found to have several large leaks

Buildings Il Furnace.
In what seemed almost an incrcdi-
bly, short time, all three brick buildings
were veritable furnace. their inter
iOrs being Il mass of cracking flames.
Soon some of the walls began to fall.
So great Il start did the blaze get and
so hot was the fire. that not a thing
was saved from any of the buildings.
The felt shoe company did not even
save anything from the office. All
the books, records. accounts etc. were

| Washington, d. c.. April 26-The

ground that the application did not
conform to the provisions of the law.

No Increase in Living Cost.
Timothy Shea, vice president of the
Brotherhood of locomotive Firemen.
told the board that additional pay for
railway workers would not have the
effect of increasing the cost of living
unless the excuse was seized upon by
protiteers to exploit the public.
Labor is only small item in the cost
of production, Shea said. He declared
that the labor bill on shoes which now
sell for SIT and SIS a pair is only SS
cents
Railway officials will attempt to
show that increasing the wages of their
employees will cost many millions or
dollars. he said, but this claim will ue
disaprroyed by labor spokesmen.

NEW YORK, June 1.-Among those

grounds was Michael Angelo Donlin, a
famous sOcker of bygone days.

said Donlin, but I still. love bail game

II never thought there would he BAN

but I expect to hear of Ruth doing it
any day. In fact, he might have cleared
any fence IN the park with that hit to-
day. Did you notice that It was stin
rising when It struck?
At have a good reason for pulling for
the Yanks to get somewhere this season.
You know I sort of raised Sam Wick and
Muddy Ruel for this team when I man
aged the Memphis club. I still think
that Wick is one OF the best hitters I
ever saw and I understand that he has
made a big improvement in his fielding.
Ruel IS a snappy catcher and hits nicely
at the ball. He tells me he is putting
on more weight, so ! expect 70 hear good
reports on his hitting when he fully ma
