The fire was reported to have started in & floating restaurant in the West River, or Sikiang. It spread rapidly to other craft, 100 of which jammed the stream, and finally reached buildings on shore. Hundreds of persons leaped into the stream from blazing boats. Some of them managed to reach shore, but scores were reported to have drowned.

In a reply to a letter from the Cru- saders Saturday, in which they inquired when he was going to take steps to padlock a building in the 300 block of ‘Tenth street, owned by the Federal Government, where violations of the lquor laws had been reported, Mr. Rover declared that in all cases of vio- lations of the prohibition law reported to his office he takes “such action as in my judgment I deem proper.” “There is no necessity of applying to the court for a padlock,” the prosecutor says, “because the reported violations were by subtenants in the property, and when this office had notified the branch of the Federal Government in charge of the bulldings being purchased with- in the triangle, the subtenants were evicted, thereby causing a complete abatement of the nuisance.” The letter is directed to the saders for the attention of John F. executive commander, “T acknowledge receipt of your letter Tnstant, in which you act occurring on certain premises the 300 block of Tenth street north- ‘west, this city, sald premises being the property of the United States. “In reply thereto I beg to advise you that in all cases where violations of the national prohibition act are reported to me I take such action as in my judg- ment I deem m\:fi “However, in fairness to all concerned, Persia Deports Archbishop. ‘TEHERAN, Persia, October 20 ().— Arm Persia and been de- 71,595 | been amon; TWO ARE KILLED AS 3 BOATS BURN 0il Barge Explosion Shatters | Windows for Three Blocks on Troy Streets.
