FALL RIVER FIRE i LOSS IS Sl00,000
Empire 1heater Building De.
 Stroyed by Flames

Fall River, Mass, Jan. 12 P}- Bremen won four-hour battle early today to check a fire in the Empire theater that threatened to spread through the Fall River business dis trict. The flames were confined to the interior of the structure which suffered damage estimated at $100,- 900.

 With the building flanked by sev- eral wooden structures 1t was feared for time that con1agration might result. Every available piece of fire fighting equipment was used in bringing the flames under control.
 Heavy snow left on the roofs of nearby buildings by yesterdays storm helped the f1remen in prevent ing the spread of the fire.

STORM CRIPPLES
 CITIES ON COAST
Plymouth, Massy Left Without Light or -0tberS Affected

Boston. Jan. 12.-tP}-An unher- | aided northeastern storm which struck the New England coast with
 unusual severity yesterday had sub sided today leaving in it's wake a stranded freight steamer, a sunken ! barge, a town, Plymouth, reduced to candlelight and cut off from electric other communities in varying condi- tions of discomfort.
 At Plymouth the storm was com
 pared to the famous blizzard of 1898 in which the steamer Portland went down with all aboard off Cape Cod.
 Pilgrim days were recalled as citi-
 zens were forced to substitute candles for electric light when a
 blanket of snow brought down the high tension wires that carry current from nearby cities.
 Roads were blocked, street cars stalled and waves ranging to 20 lN , skirting the sea front.
 Out of the bleak reefs that fringe Rose island in Narragansett Bay, 14 members of the crew of the little freight steamer .Pomham chung to their vessel as heavy seas broke over it.
 The ship grounded in the binding snow yesterday and despite the com bined efforts of naval lighter and three coast boats 1t could not be budged. The rescue craft put back into Newport, k. l.. after one of the guard boats had been severely dam aged but they were preparing today to resume the work as soon as weather conditions improved. The Pomham was engaged in run- ming winter freight from Newport 1 10 Providence, R. l.
 The second marine casualty of the storm was a coal barge owned by a
 Newport Lighterage Company
 which went down near Dumping
 Rock in Buzzards Bay. The barge's
 crew was saved by the towing tug, 1 The Vim.
 Up in Portland, Me, the storm kicked up a heavy swell which kept
 two British steamers at sea after they had attempted to negotiate the harbor passage. The local fishing , fleet hugged port and other craft
 followed suit
 From all along the shoreline came
 word of giant combers which scourged the coast and paralyzed shipping generally. The force of the
 gale rose to 50 miles an hour in places while the snowfall was re-
 ported heaviest in this city where
 more than nine inches were record
 ed, Many minor traffic delays were
 reported.
 Clear cold weather was expected
 to be felt today.

SCOURGE OF FLU
 RAVAGING EUROPE
Epidemic Is Not Expected to
 Reach America

Washington, Jan. IF P-The tide of the present European influenza epidemic is not expected to sweep ocean and precipitate a repetition of the 1918 scourge that took a toll of thousands Of lives.
 While on guard for any dangerous outbreak here, the United States public health service feels confident the European epidemic will not find root in this country through immi- There is a prevalence of influenza in America today, they admitted, but it is not comparable to the 1918 epidemic and is running a mild course similar to the outbreaks of the past two years.
 Having inquired of the League of Nations concerning the European situation, the American health au- thorities express the belief that the influenza on that continent is most ly of a mild but particularly con- tagious nature and the fatalities generally have resulted from com plications from the disease. The League of Nations. however. has painted somewhat of serious pie t,ire in three nations, Switzerland, France and England. Switzerland has received the brunt of the epi- deric and has been obliged to close its schools and establish a curfew in places of public entertainm ent. Spain also had severe outbreak but details are lacking. In other countries the disease Is mild with but few deaths.
 While the European outbreak is widespread, the American health authorities pointed out, there is little basis for comparison with the 191S- 19 epidemic when from December 8 and February IS, forty-six cities of the country alone had death toll of 136,047.
 The public health officials have broadcast warnings. however, throughout the United States. urging every influenza patient to remain in bed even with a mild case in order to prevent complications.
 Little can be done at present to prevent any European immigrant suffering from a mild case enter ing this country without being quar- antined for the disease. There is no ruling for quarantine except when a fever or severe illness is apparent.
