CENTRAL OPERA HOUSE COMPLETELY DESTROYED BY FIRE
EARLY THIS MORNING--TOTAL LOSS WAS PROBABLY $4,000
VALIANT WORK OF FIREMEN SAVES
ALL VALUABLE NEARBY PROPERTY
MODERN THEATRE WILL BE ERECTED

For the first time in number of years Martnsburg
was early this morning visited by serious confagra
ton, which virtually wiped out the Central Opera
House, West Martin St., causing loss of from $4,000
to s50OOO and temporarily deprving the city of of
its most popular playhouses Temporarily is the word
use for Mr. Walter j. Lambert, of the building
and the heaviest loser few minutes after the blaze had
been gotten under CONTROL told Journal man that he
would erect as quickly possible handsome and mod
brick structure upon the ste one that will be an
ornament and credit to Martinsburg. Surrounding
property in dire peril for time but the fact that it
had been raining for several days and all roofs
more or less soaked with water not to forget the eff
cent work of the fire department. prevented spread of
the blaze and property loss in that section
of the city The opera house. also, was covered on the
outside with heavy tn and the interior for the greater
part had steel metal covering. While this in large
degree restrained the fire to smaller area, it rendered
the work of the iremen difficult in respects

high wind. Scarcely a breeze blew
until after daybreak and then there
was no need for apprehension.
Ladies' Are Removed.
At one time 1t seemed that the
Blondel property at the corner OF
Queen and Burke streets was doom
ed. In fact the rear porch roof did
catch ON fire, but was quickly ex
tinguished. The Misses Blondel,
who were naturally very much ex
cited over the occurrence, were TAX
en- in an automobile to the home OF
their brother, Mr.. John ii. Blondel
410 North Queen street. Later In
the morning Miss That's Blondel re
turned to the old homestead.
Insurance Small.

had recently taken out $4,000 more
insurance with Trammell & Co., Inc.
which was to have become effective
at noon today. Mr.. w. C. Boyer
who has been leasing the opera
house for some years had very lit
tie insurance, as also did his local
manager, Mr.. A. c. Irons, and 9th
ers in the same neighborhood, ow'
ing to the high rates imposed be
cause Of the opera house being re
garded as extra hazardous.
The Heaviest Losers.
Mr.. c. w. Boyer. of Hagerstown
lessee of the opera house, and Man
ager A. c. Irons suffer heavy loss
The fire cleaned them. out OF some
thing like $4,000 with $1,000 insur
ance. With the exception of few
movable objects in Manager Irons
office, not thing was saved. Pia
nos, scenery. curtains, picture ma
chimes, etc, are "a total loss. Mr.
Irons. who is an artist with the
brush, lost a large quantity of val
liable oils and paints and brushes
which would now cost double the
amount to replace them. Mr.. Boyer
also had six or seven trunks and
eight or ten crates of wardrobe, a
large amount of special scenery
etc, stored in the room above the
front of the opera house. Mr.. T. e.
Matthews, father-in-law of Mr.. Irons
who recently purchased an moved
into the McGary house on West
Burke street, had stored a quantity
of household goods in this upper
room, on which he had no insurance
and these are a total loss, This in
Guided a dining room suite and a
breakfast suite recently made and
sent here within the past few days.
No One Badly Hurt.
For a wonder no one was badly
hurt during the fire. Mr.. Web
Kline stumbled into hole and pain
fully injured his leg. Mr.. Herman
Burns had finger nail torn off and
there were several other minor cas-
ualties. The firemen worked in
perfect accord and there was not
the slightest hint of confusion. 1t
was vastly different from the olden
days when It was common thing
for some opinionated citizen TO
butt in with unnecessary advice.

GERMANS DISCUSS
new NOTE FRAMED
At SAN RENO MEET
French See Good Results
From Conference Of Allies.
(Ry International News servIce.)

tBy tntcrndtiOndf news SerVtCe.1
Berlin, April 2S.--The new allied
note, formulated by the supreme
council at San Reno, and charging
the German government with bad
faith in its execution of the treaty
of Versailles, was the chief dis
cussion in government circles today.
In upper Berlin circles the note
is taken as an indication of Frances
unwillingness to permit Germany to
increase her armed forces beyond
the set figure of 100000. Unless
France is willing that this be done,
government officials declared that
the French militarists would find it
impossible to explain the mainten-
ance of a French army OF 100000,
as compared with Germany's 100,-
900.
The matter of reparation is the
chief topic of discussion. 1t is
3,000.000.000 marks (normally $780,
000,000) for foreign occupation dur
ing 1919 and the materials have been
delivered under the terms of the
peace treaty to the value of 30.-
000,000,000 (normally $7,500,000, 000.)
Increased Confidence.
Paris, April 2S.-Unanimous ap-
plause greeted Premier Millerand to-
day when he declared in the house
of deputies that the conference at
San Reno had resulted in increas-
ed confidence in the strength and
unity of purpose of the allied ma
tons.
practical Peace"
London, April 28.-The decision
reached by the allied premiers at
San Reno will result in practical
peace with Russia by the end of
May, it was reported here today.
There will be. however, no formal
recognition of soviet Russia, it was
stated in official circles.
