(COntlnue0 rom rage 1.) Townsend lodge, odd Fellows. and attended the Second Congregational church.
 MT Jackie had been one of the city's best known figures for many years. He had the friendship of men and women in all walks of life and there were few persons more widely acquainted locally.
 His store on Bank street, next to the Merchants Trust company, was one of the city's most prom inent business houses. With the erection of new building on that site,- the shoe store was moved to Center street, where the same genial parsonage presided over the business.
 Friends all over the city were grieved today to hear of his death. Few knew how serious was the nature of his illness, though he had been unconscious several days ago and had been in a critical condi- tion since that time.
 Born in Thomaston, he came to this city as a boy when his father opened a shoe store here. He vertically grew up with the busi- ness, and by the time he reached manhood was already one of the city's most experienced shoe deal CTS.
 All who knew him even slightly had nothing but the highest of praise for him as a merchant and a man.
 David Hadley, manager of the Arch Preserver store, expressed deep regret at his passing. "He was a man of such fine character and ability" he said, "that he will be missed by the whole city. Every quality that made a great gentle man was his. Speaking for my self and for all who knew him we'll, I can say that his death will leave a gap that will be hard to flll."
 Another veteran shoe merchant, Roger A. Walsh, added his trib- ute to MT Jackie: "He was one of the finest men I have known, hon. est, efficient and friendly. Noth- ing can ever replace his wonder full friendship"

FALL RIVER HAS BECOME WEARY
 OF SHOP FIRES
One of Yesterday Started in Vacant Mill Like Dis-
 aster Years Ago

Fall River, Mass, Jan 3O.-(UP) State and city authorities moved today to prevent recurrence of yesterdays $2O0,000 >fireS which wrecked the abandoned merchants mill, destroyed or damaged several other structures, caused dne death and many minor casualties.
 Like the great Fall River fire which started a scant quarter mile away six years ago next Friday, and virtually wiped out the busi- ness district with losses mounting into the millions, yesterdays blaze originated in an unoccupied mill.
 Reports that other vacant mills in this textile center were as lack ing in fire protection as the mer- chants mill caused State Fire Marshall Stephen G. Garrity to ar- range g. conference for today with State Police Commissioner Daniel Needham. /
 This likewise will be the sub ject of a city council meeting to- day.
 Meantime Mayor Joseph L. Hur- ley has ordered police to assign watchmen to all unoccupied mill properties.
 The victim of the fire, which ragged uncontrolled for hours and brought aid from nearly a dozen communities in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, was William J. Cote, 34, of Fall River, a CWA worker and father of two children. He was crushed to death by a falling wall.
 Of those given hospital treatment the most severely hurt was Fire man Raymond Cockcroft, 34, who fell 20 feet when a wall collapsed. Union hospital physicians said to- day he would recover.
 Relief agencies cared for a dozen families left homeless when the fire spread to tenement houses.
