Iran.
A member of parliament said
yesterday he no longer was so
sure parliament would reject a

Hamper Firemen

ATLANTA, Sept. H. R -
Firemen tonight were battling
flames in the warehouse of the
Peaslee = Gaulbert corporation
which has caused an estimated
loss so far of $40, 000, 900 in stock
and which prompted the build
ing's owner to write his losses
at $500 1000.
Miss Frances Frazier, cashier
of the Peaslee corporation, said
the building occupied by her
firm and it's subsidiary, Wright
Company, Inc, was filled with
general merchandise, paint, pa
per, radios, refrigerators, furni-
ture and hardware.
Miss Frazier estimted the loss
at $40, 0OO, 900.
H. G. Hastings, owner of the
building, said the replacement
value would be over 100000
and said it was fully insured.
Firemen were hampered in
their efforts to fight the blaze,
which apparently originated on
the lower floor of the five-story
brick and concrete building, by
clouds of smoke issuing from
the basement and caused by
burning sulphur, paper, tar,
turpentine and paint.
Assistant Fire Chief F. J. Bow
en- said firemen were unable to
enter the building and the struc-
ture had been thoroughly Quilted.
Bowen said he feared the walls
had been weakened by seeping
water and might possibly col
lapse.
The Southern Railroad brake
man told firemen when he first
noticed the fire, blazing paint
was pouring through a galvan-
lied iron loading platform.

The Jewish New Year, Rosf

Wilmington Jews on Monday anc
Tuesday, as is their usual GUS
tom, it was announced yester-
day.
The announcement said that

day in celeration of the event.
And in connection with this
event, DR.. Nelson Glueck, presi-
dent of the Hebrew Union col
lege, Cincinnati, o., famed schol-
ar and author, issued the fol-
lowing message:
Named and Injured to travail
but ever seeking peace, the COM
munity of Israel assemblies for
meditation and prayer in its
places of worship to welcome the
New Year. Buoyed by an un-
shatterable belief in the God OF
life and mercy, it presses for
ward out, of the darkest night OF
its history towards the light and
promise of a new day.
1.-THE memory of millions OF
our faith who were hunted
down to be despoiled horribly
of life, torments us. For them
we weep, as we sorrow for the
losses of other innocents. The
acid despair of homeless survl-
vors eats at our hearts, too. For
them we labor.
