% Wild BEASTS
DIE in FLAMES
Arena of Bears, Lions, Etc,
Thought Victims of In
cendiarism
RARE BIRDS ARE
TAKEN ALIVE

INDEPENDENCE. Mo. Oct al
Omitted Press)-Jungle beasts were
burned in their cages when fire
swept through the animal building.
Of the Horne Geological Arena here
early today causing damage esti-
mated at $4,000.
The fire, believed OF incendiary
origin, destroyed what is said to
have been one of the rarest oolec-
tions OF wild animals IN the United
States.
The exhibit had Just been gather
ed by Sherman Horne. for sale to
circus owners at the annual display
in Chicago.
Gagged bears and lions and other
beasts were consumed in the flames
which quickly ran through three
wooden houses. Keepers had time TO
save only two bears.
Estimates were that rs animals
were burned to death.
Investigators were puzzled by the
fact that cries from animals trap
ped by the fire were not heard. This
led to the belief that the animals
had been rendered unconscious by
the smoke.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. e.
P. Horne, mother of the owner OF
the collection who was awakened by
the glare and the smell OF smoke.
I'VE never heard a sound from
animals" Mrs. Horne said today.
Whatever it was must have swept
through the zoo killing the animals
by its force or suffocating them. I
believe they were dead by the time
the fire reached them"
Attracted by the flames, citizens
Of Independence left their beds to
witness the fire. Hundreds lined
hill overlooking the arena while
bremen bent their efforts to saving
he bird house. The animal pits al
-eady were practically demolished. |
The Hornes carried no insurance
IN the animals because insurance
were unwilling TO take
he risk on wild beasts.
In addition to the animals and 7
houses a large amount Of carnival |
Ind circus equipment property was
destroyed.

GREAT RUSH of
COAL Orders
New Baby in Home Given
by Many as Urgent Need
for Fuel
JUST HOME FROM
HOSPITAL, SOME SAY

THE cool weather OF the past few
days has brought 10 light the fact
that the population of Wilmington
has increased by leaps and bounds
while the number Of people return
ing 20 their homes from various
hospitals where they were treated
for minor operations would indicate
that Wilmington will soon be a
home of cripples." said c. NJ. Dill
Ion, secretary TO the Delaware State
Fuel Commission today.
Mr.. Dillon said that his telephone
was kept busy today by persons de-
string coal orders and while many
OF those without fuel had legitimate
reasons in not having ordered coal,
others had simply postponed order
ing coal until forced to do so by
the sudden cold weather.
Judging by the statements made
by those desiring fuel. one would
think that many OF the homes had
from one to four babies born in them
during the past few days" he added.
Others contended there were persons
In the homes who had just return
ed from hospitals.
Mr.. Dillon said that he eurmised
that before he was through with
his present task in the Fuel Com
Offices he would be as I'M

BAYARD TALKSON
HEALTH BOARD
Says Secretary Mckinney Is
Efficient, in Repuy to
Mayors Rebuke
REFERS TO TROUBLE
OF FORMER OFFICIAL

Evidently aroused by the rebuke
contained in the public statement
issued yesterday by Mayor Harvey,
concerning the City Health Board.
which Thomas r. Bayard. Demo-
cratic candidate for United States
Senator had attacked. the latter
made an explanatory reply at a
Democratic rally in Public School
No. 8, Seventh and Spruce streets,
last night.
In his statement the Mayor told
what had been accomplished and
what was contemplated by the pres
ent Board OF Health to improve
"Wilmington's standing among CT
ties with regard to health matters"
and pointed out the vast change
that has occurred in the methods
and in the ambitions OF the Board
OF Health as compared with prev
ious boards among others the Board
OF Health in office when John w.
Lawson was Mayor and Mr.. Bayard
was city solicitor four years ago.
Replying 10 this, Mr.. Bayard last
night referred TO the indictment Of
a former secretary of the board on
charges Of graft in the city's most
important function-matters OF the
health OF the community" He then |
proceeded 10 pay a compliment to
DR.. Robert S. Mckinney the present I
secretary of the Health Board.
'Dr. Mckinney is a very pleasant .
and efficient fellow" said Mr.. Bay |
ard, who then proceeded:
Il am not criticising the admins |
tration OF the Board OF Health.
What was criticising was the
fact that this thing was go
ing on under the Mayors very nose"
Mr.. Bayard then qualified his ref
erence TO the Mayor by saying:
Don't misunderstand me. I believe
Mayor Harvey is a man who would
make an accounting for every dollar
OF the city's money entrusted 10 his
care. down to the last penny"
Two rallies were held by the
Democrats of the city last night. one
in No. and another in No. IL
school. Twenty-second and Market
streets. There was plenty OF ap-
plause for the speakers but fewer
than a hundred persons attended

date for sheriff; Joseph Rrogan. can
iidate for Representative, and
