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'

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.

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.
