S5OO,OOO BLAZE DESTROYS
FAMED ATLANTIC CITY PIER
STEEPLECHASE DEMOLISHED
IN SPECTACULAR FIRE
27,OOO-Light Sign Over Structure
Continued TO Function Until
Hurled from Its Base

The Steeplechase Pier, a resort
landmark since 1892, was demol-
ished by spectacular fire Sunday
night. William 9. Fennan, man
ager of the pier, estimated the loss
at $500,000. A huge advertising
sign, containing 27,0O0 lights, de-
scribed as one of the most ex-
pensive and elaborate electric
signs in the world, and six stores
in the front Of the pier We're de-
stroyed. The flames were discov-
cred at $50 p. %. ard were not
brought under control until nearly
! a. M, when the pier was mass
Of smouldering embers. Only the
fact that the wind was blowing off
shore prevented the flames from
engulfng the Haddon Hall and
Strand hotels and numerous stores
on the opposite side of the board
walk. The operator Of the sign,
whose name could not be ascer-
tained, was missing. He had not
been seen leaving the building by
those who discovered the fire and
it was feared that he might have
been trapped within. The flames
were discovered by Arch Witham
and James Malie, who telephoned
an alarm. Within ten minutes, the
entire frame structure located at
Pennsylvania avenue and the
beach, was a mass of flames and
smoke. Three alarms brought out
the city's entire fire fighting force.
Large crowds attracted by the
100-foot flames were held in check
by police drawn around the board
walk in front of the pier. Amuse-
ment patrons on the steel pier, a
block northward, were ordered off
when flying sparks and intense
heat menaced that vicinity. AS the
crowd was marched off windows
began cracking under the heat and
a small blaze, quickly extinguish-
ed, started on the outside ramp.
The six stores destroyed were the
Board Walk Flower Shop, Radio
Rife Gallery, the Leather Gift
Shop, Kohr Brothers Ice Cream
Store, and two unoccupied shops.
Fennan, called away from an un-
employment benefit show which he
had helped stage in a nearby audi
torium, said the wrecked pier had
been insured by the Tilyou Com
pany, its owners.

MOTHERS PENSION MEETING
Several Applications From Three
Counties Are Considered


AT the monthly meeting of the
State Mothers Pension Commits
sion, held in the Supreme Court
room in the State House, several
applications from the 8 counties
were considered. Four new appli-
cations from Kent county were
considered, one of which was
granted and three held over for
further consideration. Three new
applications were heard from Sus-
sex county, one of which was
granted and two disallowed No
new cases were present from New
Castle county, although there are
over 20 cases pending but because
of lack of funds it was deemed un-
necessary to consider them. Eleven
pensioned families were reconsid-
I'd, Of which two were increased;
three reduced and one continued
because Of unsatisfactory guard
ianship. In Sussex county one
pensioned case was discontinued
because of remarriage. Reports
were made on three families. The
Commission was gratified to learn
of the convalescence of Miss Haz-
zard, one Of the Commissions
members who has been i'll in the

TUNNEL TO LOST RICHES OF
FORMER KING MEXICO CITY
GOLD HIDDEN 400 YEARS AGO
VALUED AT S3O,OOO,OOO
Ernesto LoecE, a German, Has a
Dream and 1t Worked Out
That His Dream Was True

Mexico City.-Twenty years ago,
a German dreamed of a hoard of
hidden gold. Now he has found a
tunnel which he believes will lead
him to the treasure of a long-dead
king.
The scene of this is in the hinter-
land of Mexico, and the story is one
of the most dramatic in the annals
of lost riches.
Twenty years ago Ernesto Loeck
was a rising business man in the
german town of Dusseldorf. He
was then just forty, and his dill
gence and acumen were enabling
him to put by what promised to be
handsome little competence.
About a year after his wife died
he had a vivid and remarkable
dream. The scene was the crest of
a high mountain, and along a mar
row track wound a long line of light
skinned and scantily clad Indians.
They marched in single file, and on
the shoulders of each was borne a
roughly made hide sack-a sack
containing gold
The carriers seemed to disappear
into the heart of the mountain, and
watching them was a tall man of
noble aspect. Just as the dream
faded there seemed to appear writ
ten on his brow in letters of fire the
word Calzontzin.
The dream was so vivid and made
so great an impression on Loeck
that he began to wonder whether
history had any record of a man
named Calzontzin. A long search
revealed that it had There was
Tarascan king of that name who
was ruling in a part of Mexico some
400 years ago, and who had vanished
with gold worth $30.OOO.00O.
Now, after 20 years of search,
Loeck has found on the summit of
La Bates de ORC a narrow under
ground passage He is confident
that that tunnel will lead him to
the hidden gold.

CAUTION BY SAFETY SALLY"
The Person Who Rushes in Head
long Usually Comes Out Feet First

II
The Delaware Safety Councils
Safety Sally says: THE person
who rushes in headlong usually
comes out feet first. Reckless
driving provides it," There is lit
tie doubt in the public mind re-
garding the meaning of the red
light in the traffic signal. 1t
doesn't mean to proceed cautiously
nor any other way. 1t means
stop. Safety Sally" emphasizes
that the person who rushes head
ling into the red light area usual
ly comes out feet first. There is
more doubt about the meaning of
the green light. While it means
go it doesn't mean go regardless
of anything that might happen
although sometimes you see drivers
step on it as soon as the green
light comes on, before pedestrians
have had a chance to clear the in
tersection. 1t rather means that
permission is given to proceed
with proper care under existing
circumstances. The meaning of
the amber light is often misunder-
stood. The impression persists
among other people that this
means to proceed with caution.
That is, however, an extremely
dangerous Interpretation because
it permits vehicles to continue to
enter the intersection until the red
light actually comes on and en-
courages vehicles to start before
the green light appears. It Gre
ates a fine setting for accidents
and blockades. The Interpretation
which promotes real safety and
makes the light worth something
is that it is a clearance light pro-
viding the period during which the
vehicles and pedestrians that are
already in he intersection may con-
tinue but others may no enter un-
til he green light is displayed.
Properly obeyed his Interpretation
gives little chance for accidents
involving pedestrians and vehicles. |

EXTENSION PLAN
ON SEED LOANS

GREAT FALLS, Oct.-Details
concerning President Hoover's pro-
gram postponing the collection of
rs percent of 1882 seed loans to
farmers have been received at the
office of Congressman Scott Leav-
lit. Some time ago MI. Leavitt
was asked by interested farmers if
assurance could be given them
that, upon payment of 25 percent
of the amount due, no further de-
mands would be made for payment
from the proceeds of the 1892 crop.
That assurance has now been re-
ceived by Mr.. Leavitt in a letter
from H. S. Clarke, director of the
department of agriculture, crop
production office at Washington,
even though the government holds
first mortgages against the crop to
the extent of the amount advanced
last Spring.
Mr.. Clarke has advised Mr.. Leav-
lit that the seed loan borrower
who has paid 25 percent of the
amount due "is then free to dis
pose of his crop in any manner and
for any purpose he may desire"
Advising that the presidents
announcement applies to farmers
whose principal crop is wheat or
other small grain, Mr.. Clarke con
tinues:
1.-THE borrower is allowed to pay
rs percent of this years indebted
ness and to execute an agreement
to pay the remaining rs percent
upon terms which will be deter
mined at a later date, probably
by congress.
at has been held by this office
that no one, under the provisions
of section 2 of the act of congress
creating the Reconstruction FL
nance corporation, is authorized to
release a mortgage or lien, such
as that held by the crop production
loan office, until full payment is
made. However, our regional man.
ayers are agreeing in each particu-
lar case to make no further de-
mands from the proceeds of this
years crop; a letter to that effect
is given the borrower upon request.
after the borrower has complied
with the provisions of the plan
outlined above, he is then free to
dispose of his crop in any manner
and for any purpose he may de
