FIRE HITS CITY; LOSS MOUNTS INTO MILLIONS (Continued from pare 1) town office buildings. No estimate of the loss' was available but it was certain' to run high Into the millions. Downtown Swept FALL RIVER, Mass., Feb. 2 (AP) Fire tonight swept through the center of Fall River's business district, causing losses placed In early estimates at several mil- ,Ion dollars. At 9 o'clock at least 12 large buildings had been de-J Hroyed and the flames were driv ing on, fanned by a brisk north west breeze. The fire started shortly after 7 o'clock in the southeast corner of tbo Pocassett Mills, a dismantled textile plant which was being raz ed. The mills are the property of Louis i K. Liggett of Boston. All four units of the plant were wiped out. Flames Spread Rapidly In rapid order the fire spread to and demolished the Mohican hotel, with several stores In the same building, the Rlalto theater, the Boys' club, the oldbuilding of the Fall River Herald-News, the building of the French daily news paper L'lndependant, the Vermont block, the Kresge building and the Oranlte block. The new building of the Herald-News, recently com- pletedi was badly damaged and R. A. McWhlrr department store was In flames. Loss of life was feared, but early reports of casualties could not be verified. One rumor was that five firemen had been burled in the collapse of a wall at the' SUNDAY and MONDAY ! W Pocassett Mills. Six firemen were under treatment at various hos pitals for Injuries. When the fire started there was a large audience in the Rialto theater, but the hundreds of spec tators filed out in an orderly man ner. Sparks Spreud Fires Sparks carried by the wind set many fires In other parts of the city. The Troy Mills, situated a mile from the scene of the fire, caught in this way and one sec tion of the plant was in flames. A number of dwellings to the east ward of the main fire were also burning. The four nnits of the Pocaasett Mill were the first buildings to go. The fire rapidly spread to the New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad bus terminals, the Granite block, the Herald-News building, Goge Independence News buildings and the R. A. McWhlrr department stores. Other build ings in the path of the fiaraes ap peared doomed. At the same time 10 other firea were reported in other parts of the city. At 10 o'clock the new Herald News building was reported a to tal wreck. The Woolworth build ing was in riames a well as a LuiJding occupied by the Fall Riv er office of the Providence Jour nal. The old opera house, a wood en building occupied by a cooper ative bank also was on fire. Old Block Chocks I lames On opposite sides of Main street two buildings stood as fire breaks in the path of the flames. On the west side of the 'street the flameH were checked at the Merchant. block, built iu 1S43. This build mg had withstood previous con flagratious in the Fall River busi ness district. On the east side the building of the Fail River Globe newspaper marked the limit of the ravaged area. Employes of the newspaper were engaged in play ing hoae on the roof and walls of their building. The Wilbur hotel, immediately adjoining the Globe building wa: I burning. The city hall nearby was threatened. ; IUide-iie Damage Light Many fires broke out in resi dences on Pleasant street, but most of theso weiv brought under control by residents assisted by firemen. The Union Mills of Plea-I aant street also became ignited, and were threatened with destruc tion. From the editorial rooms of the Fall River Globe, members of the newspaper staff watched the pro gress of the flames down Main street and kept the Associated fress informed by telephone. Ev ery few minutes these observers would report that another build ing had caught, or that some blank wall left standing in the wake of the flames had finally crashed down intothe embers. The fire from its early moments sped beyond the powers of the fire fighting forces and spread before the wind with almost llghtniug rapidity. At 10 o'clock there seem ed to be signs that it was burning itself out. The efforts of the fire men were directed to drenching the walls and roofs of buildings ln me pain or the flames to prevent a further spread. DEALERS ELECT PORTLAND. Ore.. Feb.
