SALEM, MASS., HAS DISASTROUS FIRE Salem, Mass., June 2.-Half of the old "witch city" of Salem was do vastated today a nd tonight by fire. Over 1,000 buildifngs were destroyed. including a score of manufacturing establishments, and 10,000 of 'the 45, 000 population are homeless. Burning embers, carried by a strong northwest wind, started fires in two other sections, the fashionable. resi dential district adjacent to the La Fayette street, and a manufacturing and tenement house distric on the pelilsular, bounded by Palmer's Cove, South river and the water front. Late In the evening brands kindled a fourth fire in the plant of the Qa loie Oil 'Comnipany in Alason street. The oli tanks blew up with a terrific report and showers of sparks fell threateningly on a part of the town that before had not been in imminent danger. This fire, however, was checked after it had destroyed the oil company's plant and 13 houses. When the flames were believed to be under control at 11 o'clock tonight all the historic and literary land marks had escaped destruction. These included the Peabody Museum, Es sex institute, custom house, where Nathaniel Hawthorne did much of his literary work, and "The House of the Seven Gables," made famous by the novelist. At midnight the fie was burning on )erby street, not far froil the Peabody museum, but it was thought the building and its valuable collec tion of curios would bt saved. "The fHoust of Sev(en Gables" also wits In the dan .'r zone. Several builfdings were dlynamited and late tonight it looked as though the fire had bten checked. No fatal ity had been reported up to mid night, but in the confusion it was impossible to determine the casual ties. Some 50 injured persons wert received at hospitals. The groat destruction was due to poor water pressure. Nearly half of the busintss section of -Salem was i flames tonight. Block after block was dynamited, but the fire. checked in one direction, driven by shifting winds, found a new path of destruction. It was nearly 11 o'clock before the area of the con flagration reached its limit. Starting about 2 o'clock this afttrinoon as at result of an explosion in the factory of 'the Korn Leather company jusl east of historic Gallows hill, wherc alleged witches were hanged 20C years ago, the fire spread quicklb through the shoe and leathtr manu facturing district, then south to tih Boston and Main railroad tracks al Jefferson avenue and eastward to tit water front. lante tonight fire Irands carried in to the business section started a see ond fire at North street. A little lat or a tank of the Standard Oil com pany In the extreme northwest of ti city was ablaze and p1esently a thir fire was levelling the butilldings in thal vicinity. No definite estimate of th<t money loss is possible tonight. but 11 was variously placed at from $5,000, O000 to $7,000,000.

In na mucil as the act of Conlgress Incorporatinjg tile America n Red( Ciross provides that. it shall devise anid carry on measures for tile pie v'entionl of distress and suffering, as well as give relief after they come, tile Rled Cross, in co-operation with the Republic of China, is finanoing an investigation .by a board of eminent Amneican civil engineern in the afnlict ed territory with the i)tention ulti mately to prosecute a reclamation and conservancy selmelno which will cost approximately $20,000,000 to be paid by China. The present investigation will entail an expenditure by the 1ed Cross and China of about $75,000. Tho members of this board are: Lieut. COol. William L. Ilibert, En gineer Corps, United States Army, builder of the (Gatun locks and dan of the Panama Canal, chairman; Ar thur' Powell Davis, Chief Engincer of the United States Rteclamation Ser vice, and Daniel Webster Mead, Pro fessor' of Hydraulic Engineering in the University of Wisconsin. Charles Da1vis Jameson, the Ied Cross engi neer who iade the prelimina ry sur vey, is accompanying the board as general advisory engineer. Several as sistant engineers, including the bril liant young Chinese Sylvanus T. Suen, are with the conservalncy board. .\liss Boardian's article, under the caption, "The Proof of Friendship," says in part: "The great master, Confuciusv was once asked by one of his disciples, 'Is there one word that may serve as a rule of practise for IlI one's life?' Thie master replied, 'is not "Rtecipro city" such a word?' .Another time the sam1e miaster sald, At first it was my way to hear a mian's words and give hinm rrcuit for his conduct. Now I hear a man's Word and look at his conduct.' "Wise, indeed, was Old Confucius. in acts, not words, is to be found te proof of true friendship. The great opportuni(ty to do anl act of friendship for China, an act of hutanity for her people, has been offered by the Chinese Govertment to the Ulited' States through the nedium of the American Red Cross. This opportuni ty lies in the line of being of assist ance in the work of flood prevention in the central part of China, thus do ing away with tile untold sufferings of hundreds of thousands of famine victims; and, furthermore, of rec14im1 ing a large amount of rich agricultur al land in a district where every square foot is needed for food pro duction." Speaking of the general plan, Miss Boardmar continues: "A dam has been created by the high dikes of the Grand Canal. Sev eral large shallow lakes, some back ing directly up against the Canal dikes, have thus resulted on the west side from the back waters of the Ilual River, which flowing fir'st into the lungtse Lake, have not suflicient out let to the sea. Much of the land not actually under the water in the lakes is still of a useless, marshy charac ter. At times of heavy rainfall, these shallow lakes and the swamIp land cannot take care of the water, which, finding no adequate outlet to the sea, spreads out fot' hundreds of square miles over the surrounding country, ruining the crops and reducing the large population to utter destitution and starvation. The plan of the Ited Cross Engineer, Mr. Jainleson, is to carry tihe water of the 1uai river and theo H-ungtse Lake throughm a well built channel acr'oss tihe Grand Canal into tile old, inow un11o*cupied, bed of thme Yellow Rivet', with its huighm dikes; to sh)ut off this water from the lakes to the southmeast; and to dm'ain these lakes by another channel into the Yangtse River.' This pilanl, if feasible, aIs the land elevation and other topo grap ihical features indicate, wvill nlot onuly purevent all floods5 save those caused by absolutely abnmorimal rain ralls, but will reclaim a tmillion acires, and hmpr'ove prlobably about 111n1 millions more.
