WATER FLOODED
 HADLEY STORE
Deluge Continued on Sev. eral Floors for Fifteen
 Hours Yesterday
FlREMEN CALLED

Heavy water damage to the stock of the Hadley Furniture company resulted yesterday and led to call for service on the part of the fire department in checking up on the cause and pre- venting a heavier loss to the gen. eral merchandise. Responding to a call from Thomas Gearin, man. uger of the store, fire officials made an investigation and found that an open faucet on one Of the upper floors was responsible for the deluge, The water had seeped through tho flooring and . metal ceiling and had flooded the first floor, It was courslng down to the main floor in a steady stream when Bert Honnis, an employe, entered the store about 10 o'clock yestcr- day morning.
 Firemen very thoughtfully cov- cred furniture with tarpaulin and took other precautionary steps to protect merchandise from being added to tho toll of tho flood. Act. Ing Deputy Chief Thomas Cavan- augh, Fire Marshal D. ], Lahey and Captain William Russell con. ducted tho investigation. It was at first suspected that n water pipo had burst. It was evident that tho water had been running for about i5 hours, since close of the store Saturday night.
 Sections of metal ceiling were ripped out to prevent corrosion and to permit employees to start on a mopping up movement prepara- tory to drying out tho store.
 A eheck.up was made to-day by officials of tho firm to determine the extent of tho damage caused

It is the final inevitable clash between mother and son--the latter utterly unconscious of tho real identity or the woman he secs as his primo adversary-thnt makes the over. powering denoucement of the picture.
 Tho scene of tho earthquake and the subsequent fire which com pietod tho destruction of tho city by the Golden Gate have been pronounced by experts to be mar. vels of realism and catastrophe power. old Chinatown lives again In al It's sinister scenery, with It's miles of catacomb-llke passages and dwellings. The reckless, tum- ultous night life of San Francisco, unique among cities of the vest ern hemisphere, is enacted 70 vlv- Idly that many on old.timer who hns witnessed the previews of the picture has hreathed a sigh for the glamor of those days
