Five Hundred Buildings Wiped
Out in New Bern Confagration

flames rose high in the sky sending
forth cloud of dense smoke which
hung over the town throughout the
entire day. With almost incredible
speed the fire forced its way into
the white residential section.
By noon the streets were filled with
automobiles loaded with household
goods carrying them to places of safe
ty. Here and there on the sidewalks
their few rescued possessions heaped
about them, sat desolate families
homeless and penniless and looking
to the more fortunate for aid.
Cemetery Checks Flames
Checked in its dash to the business
section by the block occupied by
Cedar Grove cemtery, the fire veered
to the north and swept down on the
Union Station. All the buildings on
Pasteur street, fronting the depot
were utterly destroyed. A house two
blocks beyond burst into flames when
showered by sparks and burning
leaves.
The fire spread along the river
front consuming the Royster ferti-
lizer warehouse, the Norfolk Southern
paint sheds, and one or two other
structures in its path. At the end
of Pasteur street and along Crescent
street the fire made its last stand
unable to leap across the gap OF
empty blocks which separated il from
the next row of houses.
Burst Forth Anew
After having been apparently sub
dued, the flames burst forth anew
directly west of George street, and
for time it was feared that St
Luke's hospital and the Tabernacle
Baptist church would be destroyed
The brave work of the combined fire
departments. however, brought the
flames under control at the point
shortly before dusk.
A dozen or more persons, both
white and negroes, have been treated
at the hospital for painful burns
and other injuries. 1t is not believed
that any of these injuries viii! prove
fatal. Patients were taken from both
the Fairview and the New General
hospital and removed to Christ
Church parish house. The fire fighters
managed to swerve the direction of
the fire and prevented either of the
two hospitals from igniting. The
Stewart Sanatorium was burned to
the ground.
Burned Twenty Blocks
The fire destroyed approximately
twenty blocks. The high winds which
had famed the flames died down at
sundown and although several frame
houses still were burning, firemen said
they believed it would not spread
further.
1t was estimated that around 1000
persons, most of them negroes, had
been rendered homeless and relief
steps were under way before the
flames were controlled. Fire appara-
tus from Kinston, Goldsboro, Green
vile and Washington, N. c., were
brought here and used to aid the
local department.
Dynamite ResOrted To
Dynamite was resorted to early in
the afternoon to check the flames and
later on Norfolk Southern switch
engine pulled down six frame houses
one after the other by means OF a
long cable in an effort to stop tie
flames.

Second Day View of Catastrophe
By Ben Dixon MacNeill, in News &
Obs arvar

New Bern, Dec. Rain, that yes
terday might have stayed the raw
ages Of the mos. disastrous fire in
the history of North Carolina, came
tardily today to multiply the misery
and deepen the dispair of four thous-
and people who fled from their homes
in the wake of the conflagration.
Prodigal as have been the efforts
toward relief on the part of every
citizen Of the city, the storm that
broke shortly after noon today found
scores of families still huddled in
the open around a few things that
they were able to take with them
when they fled before the raging tor
rent of fire that swept 700 houses
before it.
Find Temporary Quarters
Tonight temporary quarters will
be found for them in warehouses,
school buildings, and churches. To-
morrow morning a thousand tents,
rushed here on special train by
Brigadier- General A. j. Bowley,
commanding officer at Fort Bragg,
will be pitched under the direction of
Capt. Henry G. Fisher, of the U. S.
S. "Pamlico."
Today the women of the town fed
four thousand people, turning
churches and school houses into
kitchens, where an unbroken stream
of men, women, and children pass
ed to eat for the first time since the
holocaust broke upon them yesterday

HEREDITY THE REASON FOR
BLACK LAMBS IN THE
FLOCK

Tho appearance Of black lambs In n
flock made up entirely Of white sheep
has been for ages, and IL still, "a cause
for wonder and the basis of supersti-
tiOnS But the study Of the laws Of
thu reasons for the sporadic appear
ancc Of these off-color specimens. IN
n letter to farmer who reported %
black lambs from flock of i75 pure
bred Shropshire Ewes, all white, and
VINO considered certain feeds the cause,
the Department Of Agriculture gives a
clear statement Of the principles In
volved.
Feeding and management Of sheep,
dayS DR.. Sewall Wright, specialist In
animal genetics, have nothing to do
with the appearance Of black lambs
The black color IL hereditary even tho
ii may be transmitted by ordinary
white sheep. The black color In such
case Is what is called recessivc
character. White sheep which trans
mi. this character at all transmit black
in 30 per cent Of their reproductive
cells iowa in the case Of ewes and sper-
maiozoa in the case Of rams) and white
in the remaining 30 per cent. Thus
such white sheep mated with blacks
(Which can only transmit black pro-
duce 30 per cent black lambs and 30
per cent white. All Of these white
lambs can transmit black.
White sheep which transmit only
white, mated with blacks, produce only
white lambs. but all Of these lambs
can transmit black. When both eve
and ram are white, but both can trans
NIT black. about 2b per cent Of the
lamb are black, 30 per cent are white,
which transmit black, while the re-
manning % per cent are true breeding
whites In this case IL Is AN even
chTncn that given ovum will trans
nit black and an even chance that IL
viii be fertilized by male cell which
transmits black, making one chance
IN Goui that both transmit black, which
j. necessary for the production Of IL
black lamb.
with % black lambs appearing in
tn flock, II Is indicated that about 100
Of I'll" rs ewes transmit black, aSsum-
ink that all of the rams used transmit
il. II not all the rams transmit this
color, then Il is probable that an even
larger number of owes transmit ii.
