Tells of Destruction
By Flames Wednesday
Town st. Come, p. Q.

A very vivid account of the de-
structive fire which on Wednesday
consumed nearly every building in
J the little town Of St. Come, P. @,
was given Friday by Bryant Jones,
! district supervisor of the Maine For
! estry department and Herbert Fol-
| som, executive secretary OF the
| chamber of commerce of Newbury-
port, Mass, a former resident ana
secretary of the chamber of COM
merce Of this city. who were in the
| Canadian town at the time OF the
cOnflagration.
Their account is the first that has
been given to the newspapers by eye
witnesses of the fire and is yery in
| teresting.
ut started at the bottling works on
! the shore of the Chaudiere river,
shortly after p. NJ" said Mr.. Fol-
som. "There was a 40-mile wind
blowing straight into the town at the
| time and the flames spread with
startling rapidity along the main
street, which was very narrow and
lined on both sides with old wooden
buildings.
There was no fire fighting ap-
paratus of any kind in the town and
the inhabitants, dazed by the sud-
denness of the catastrophe, were un-
able to save very much of the con-
tents of the stores and dwellings.
About 20 hayracks were utilized in
hauling away what could be hastily
gathered together and Mr.. Jones and
myself aided in the work of loading
these.
Many of the older people were re-
luctant to leave their burning homes
and had to be carried out by force
and compelled to enter automobiles,
many of them getting their first
motor ride on this occasion.
"As is usual in such cases, the In
habitants of the town displayed very
poor judgment in selecting mater
ials to be saved, many of them bring
ing out calendars and mail order
catalogues while leaving the more
valuable contents of their homes 10
the flames.
1.-THE faith Of these people In their
religion was strikingly illustrated"
said Mr.. Folsom, for as the fire APP
preached, many of them could be
seen mailing crosses and figures Of
Ste. Anne on the doors of the houses
in an effort to thus retard the
spreading flames. When 1t became
evident that the houses were DOOM
ed, the owners first efforts were to
save these holy relics.
1.-THE wind swept the fire the entire
length of the main street, over so
houses and stores being consumed in
two hours time. The only buildings
in the town that were unscathed
were the church, the house occupied
by the priest and three or four small
| dwellings surrounding them.'

State Probation Officers
 Meeting at New London

Iowa City, June 25 LPs-EXtension of federal authority through fed eral aid and subsidies in education, highway improvement, forest fire prevention and social welfare has revived the doctrine Of state rights. not as a theory Of nullifcation but as a protest against the encroach- ment ot the federal government up on states as areas of local sef-goY- ernment. assert Benjamin F. Sham baugh, chairman Of the fourth an nual Commonwealth conference.
 The conference, which meets at the University of Iowa, June 2S to 80. will discuss problems arising from presented inquiries as follows:
 Are states in danger Of surren- dering the management Of their own
 affairs through Federal favor and coercion"' "'
 "Is an ever increasing centraliza- ton of power in the federal goVern- ment inevitable?"
 Can the extension ot federal aid
 be justified as @ practical compro-
 mise between the principal Of local self government and the principle Of centralized government"
 Are states now actually engaged in notification of federal laws"

 After remaining dormant since 1922, when it failed to poll the re- Quirtd number of votes, it has aWak- ened and tossed its hat into the ring Before il can function as recogniz- ed p+rty, however, it must obtain nominating petitions for its candI- dates signed by at least 12000 per sons and at least 50 in each of the G counties.

Both major parties, the national admin strauon, the state legislature, Unit ed States Senator James W. Wads- worth and Governor Alfred F. Smith were severely denounced in speeches and platform blanks for failing to enforce prohibition and attempting to nullify the Constitu- tion.
 The meeting endorsed the sena- torial candidacy of Franklin w.. Cristman, former state senator from Herkimer county, who was recently named an independent opponent of Senator Wadsworth by dry organi- zations of the state. However, 1t did not place MT. Cristman on It's ticket. for state officers it named:
 Governor, Charles E. Manierre, New York attorney and member of 6 family that has fought for prohi- bition for two generations.

 Attorney general, David A. How ell. a Brooklyn lawyer.
 Comptroller. Neil D. Cramer, of Tlmira, insurance man and night school teacher.
 A propo-al to change the name of the party was voted down 43 to II. A temporary state executive com- rnittee of nine was selected with John Mckee of Brooklyn, as chair man. D. Leigh Colvin retains the title of national chairman.
