Havoc Wrought By
Forest Flames
Nt w York, May 4.? Flames, swept
onward by u stiff spring breeze,
bought havoc today ir* widely separated
sections of the Kant.
A small fire that started in a wooden
bridge at Nashua, N. H., gateway
c|ty t0 the Granite state, destroyed
most of the southeastern section of
I t t (it>, including at least 125 houses,
j several business establishments, a
| ohurch and school.
! On Long Island and Staten Isj
'and, m New Jersey, Massachusetts
u" Hhode Island,' destructive brush
and forest fires baffled the fighting
skill of thousands of regular firemen
and volunteers.
On Staten Island, in New York
harbor, brush fires cut a wide swathe.
I bey burned 200 cottages ut Oakwood
Heights, making hundreds of
persons homeless and threatened*
Kofsville, Princess Hay and Pleasant
Plains. Fire apparatus, ferried over
ftom Manhattan and Brooklyn for
the first time in 20 years, reached
its destination just in time to save
5,000 bungalows at South Beach from
the flames.
I he Long Island fires, covering an
i area estimated at 100 square miles,
were the worst in a quarter century.
The biggest one, believed to have
started from a burning lunvber yard
at Amityville, swept a section ten
miles wide and sent a huge column of
smoke a mile into the air, whence it
drifted out over the Atlantic.
Strung out from Amityville, 75
miles along the south shore of the island
to Southampton, were innumerable
smaller fires, which threatened
villages and were reported to have
burned several barns and houses.
Residents of Bayshore and Babylon,
enveloped by the dense smoke, failed
to catch a glimpse of the sun all
dat\. Sixty-eight fire companies
fought in vain to stem the fiery tide
and aviators from the Long Island
flying fields flow over the area surveying
the damage.
Southern New Jersey was completely
enveloped in smoke from at
least a half dozen fires. In Atlantic
county the worst fire for many years
laid waste 1,500 acres of scrub oak
and pine underbrush, destroyed several
small houses. and sent hundreds
of families fleeing in fear from their
homes.
Near Pomona, Absekteon and Oceanville,
N. J., hundreds of men
fought to keep the flames away from
the settlements, but several houses
were burned. Another fire destroyed
19 structures at Forked River, Ocean
county, and sent hundreds fleeing
from their homes, leaving their valuables
behind. Fire wardens and
state troopers flew over the burning
areas directing the work of battling
the flames.
In some places in New Jersey the
roads were clogged with refugees
and sightseers so badly that traffic
was almost at a standstill.
A fire between Woronoco nnd Russell,
Mass., burned over about 1,000
acres and threatened the Springfield
water works. Twenty fires in the
vicinity of Worcester, Mass., gave
fire fighters a terrific battle and in
southern Rhode Island flames were
raging along a ten-mile front.
From several other parts of the
East came reports of many fires. In
Pennsylvania several thousand acres
were burned over and two mountain
towns were menaced for a time. Poor
roads and the remoteness of some of
the districts made detection and combating
of the^ flames doubly hard.
In the Nittany valley barrens, two
miles from the campus of Penn State
college, 2,000 acres were burned.
Many students joined firemen in
fighting the flames.
[ Forestry officials said the situation
in the western part of the state
was the worst in many seasons. They
said they believed many of the fires
had been sot by men out of w6rk in
order that they might secure money
by turning fire fighters.
The north and central sections of
Connecticut did not escape the fiery
epidemic. Several dwelling and darm
buildings in the path of the onrushmg
flames were destroyed, tfnd the
damage counted to thousands of dollars.
.
As reportR from central and southern
New Jersey continued to pour
in, it became apparent the foreet ftres
were among the moet serious in that
state's history.
Despite the efforts of tlye weary
. fire fighters the flames claimed many
buildings, most of them small homes.
At Forked River 19 homes and the
Preebyterian church were destroyed,
with a property loss estimated at
$200,000. Among the homes lost
was that of the township collector.
All the township's books and $10,000
in cash were lost.
A fire, which started at Smithburg,
burned to Lake hurst, 12 miles
away, after destroying part, of Basa
villi*, a town of about 500.
At Tuckerton, in Southern Ocean
county, 10,000 acres were burned
over, un<l the home of the superintendent
of schools at Florence was
destroyed. A number of buildings at
Laureltou were burned. An inn at
Allaire went up in smoke, and the
home of Arthur Brisbane, editor,
nearby was damaged slightly.
The fire lookout station atop the
naval air station hangar at Lakehurst
was so enveloped in smoke j
that it was useless.
.
Reports from several other towns
told of buildings destroyed and m<|ch
land denuded by fire. When the
flames, driven by a 45-mile wind,
leaped across the New York-Atlantic
City boulevard at Laurelton, scores
of deer were forced out and tonight
were roaming the highway.
Fire swept, through hundreds of
acres of valuable timber lands in
Delaware tonight. The worst blaze
was near Mlllsboro. Others were re
ported near I)ov$r ami at Hazlett- j
ville. Many farmhouses were threatened.
Damage to growing timber was estimated
by fire wardens at $500,000.
Home at Kershaw Entered
Recently some one entered the home
of Rev. J. M. Neal and stole all his
home made lard. Again on last Sunday
night, when it might have been
thought that all the members of the
flSfcm 1 y were at church some marauder
entered the premises with evil intentions,
no doubt, but it so happened
that one of Mr. Neal's young children
was sitting behind the vines on
the front porch, and Mrs. Neal was
in a room on that side of the house,
and the trespasser was frightened
away. Across the road from the
house two companions, or accomplices,
were awaiting his investigations,
and all made a quick get-away.?Kershaw

Approximately forty million dollars
of real property is facing public
sale in Mecklenburg county, N. C.,
because of unpaid taxes for the past
fiscal year.
