When Army Piers at Ho-

Last Night
HERCULEAN EFFORT
SAVED EVERYBODY
Damage to the Piers and
Steamship Leviathan Is
Over $5,000,0 900

Hoboken, n. j., Aug. 25.-Fire which
destroyed army piers five and six last
night, threatening with destruction
the bodies of 500 American war dead
and the giant liner Leviathan, was the
subject of Il searching investigation to-
day by agents of the department of
justice. The fire was discovered on pier
five shortly after o'clock and spread
so rapidly that within an hour the two
piers were virtually destroyed. The
damage was estimated yariously at
from s., ,o00,0 600 to Sl0,000,00O
Soldiers, aided by volunteers, re-
moved leaden caskets containing bod
les OF 500 soldiers from the large
rooms at the junction of piers five ana
six, which were subsequently de-
stroyed. Moving of caskets provided a
herculean task, as each weighs about
$50 pounds One thousand other bod
les were resting on pier four and for a
time it was feared these would have to
be moved. but the flames were checked
before they reached the pier.
The Leviathan, which was tied up at
pier four, was slightly damaged by
the flames, but a tireboat kept streams
OF water playing on her and prevented
serious loss
Eight fireboats from New York were
credited with saving the Hoboken wa
terfront from disastrous spread of
the FIRE While the blaze was at its
height. the Hoboken water supply was
exhausted. and the freboats pumped
the only streams that were thrown on
the burning piers.
Damage to the Leviathan was esti.
mated al $4,000 to-day by William 7.

fire had gained great headway and the
glare lighted up the whole region south
west of the city, giving the impression
of a large fire. One stream of water
was used The building was ~ by %

The cause of the fire has not been
determined, as yet. Aside from storage
of hay, lumber and tools, the barn was
not occupied. there being no livestock |
in the structure. Most of the hay was |
recently stored in the barn. and the |
flames may have started from spon. /

is that tramps may have set fire TO the

that the firebug, whose presence here.

GREAT PUBLIC
FUNERAL IN LONDON
CONTEMPLATED
All England Is Profoundly Stirred By
Destruction of the
Dirigible.

London, Aug. rs (By the Associated
Press The American and British vic
tins of the disaster to the ZR2 al
Hull win be accorded a great publ,
funeral, probably in London, it is con
sidered certain. The air ministry to
day had the project under advisement
and an announcement regarding it was
expected at any time.
Meanwhile all England, profoundly
stirred by the destruction of the giant
dirigible-the greatest of all air dis
asters-is giving expression to its deep
feeling of mourning for the victims
and sympathy for those bereayed. In
London the atmosphere to-day was
somewhat akin TO that which followed
the receipt of news of the serious dis
aster of war days. AT the air ministry,
which yesterday was a beehive of ac-
tivity with elaborate preparations for
the trans Atlantic flight, there was to-
day a sensible depression on all sides,
but seldom was a reference made to
the great calamity.
It was at Howden, Huh, Leeds and
neighboring towns, however, where
lived the wives and relatives of many
of the men whose lives were snuffed
o. by the disaster, that the loss was
most keenly felt. In these places, too,
were the English brides of. nine Of the
American enlisted men who came to
England for the trans-ocean flight
These young women had been eagerly
awaiting the time of the ZR-2's start
for America and had expected soon to
follow on board government trans
port to their new homes.
The American dead in the disaster
include two members of the American
Legion, Lieut. Little was one of these
and Lloyd f. Growelf, mechanic, was
the other.
