Farragut, Iowa-Details of a
frightful accident which befell Mrs.

Slashing Fire
Spreads; Seven
Cottages Burn

Dallas, June 3.--Fire last Sat
urday destroyed seven workmen's
cottages and the company barn at
the camp of the Willamette Lum-
ber company, IL miles out OF
Black Rock.
But for the efforts of the en-
ployes the entire camp would have
been destroyed Driven by a gale
of wind of such force as Is seldom
encountered in this section, the
flames flashed into camp and the
heat was so great that the fire
fighters had great difficulty in
keeping at the work.
The locomotive was used in the
fire fighting, and but for this help
much Of the work would have gone
for naught, and the bunk houses
and all supplies would have gone
up In smoke.
The damage will mount up into
the thousands. The blaze origi-
mated from burning slashings, &C
cording to employees who have
been in town this week. They say
that, without warning. the fire
seemed to leap upon them from
the woods in apparently uncon-
querable fury and, in a moments
time, the cottages were burning
But one horse was kept at the
camp, and 1t was cared for so that
there was no loss of livestock.

TEN BELIEVED KILLED
In SUBMARINE DISASTER
Entire Crew Was Inside Hull
When Accident Occurred;
Number Escape
(By United Press)

San Pedro, Calf, Sept. 27.-Ten
men are thought to have lost their
lives in the Re- disaster, according to
a check or survey made today by au-
thorities of the submarine base here.
The number of missing may even
reach as high as IL, it was said. The
United States tug, Sonoma, was rush
ed to the scene today and is standing
over the coming tower of the SUBJ
marine. The tower is within six feet
from the surface of the water. Div
ers said that there is one chance in
a million that the missing men might
have been able to close their alright
compartment in the wrecked under
seas craft and might still be alive.
The entire crew was inside the hull
when the accident occurred, arrang-
ing torpcdoes for practice this morn
ing. All but ten, or possibly twelve,
escaped. The Re- is Holland type
submarine and was built in 1913.
Floating cranes will be necessary to
lift the wrecked vessel, now resting

PEACE CONFERENCE MAY
Be STAGED NEXT WEEK
Lloyd Georges Invitation to
Be Forwarded to Eamonn
DeValera Tomorrow

London, Sept. 27.-Barring pos
sible disse nsion by certain cabinet
ministers, a peace conference be-
tween the Sim Fein and the. British
cabinet committee will be held IN
London next week, according to re-
ports here. ..
-, The note from Lloyd George invit-
ing DeValera to send delegation
was to be forwarded tomorrow and
made public Thursday. The views OF
nearly all Of the British ministers had
been received today, according to a
report from Gairloch.
There was no reason, it was SAD,
to anticipate that any serious objec-
ton to the stand the premier has TAX
en- would arise. In that case the re-
ply would indicate clearly to DeVal-
era that it was the last word of the
British government on the subject OF
the proposed conference. It definite
ly refuses to recognizes Irish indie
pendence while leaving DeValera and
his colleagues free to do so if they
wish.
