Main St. FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF ‘HERALD" FIRE Newspaper Plant Destroyed by Flames on November , 1924 One year ago this morning, prac- tically the entire plant of the Herald Publishyng company was a mass of smouldering embers, as a result of ane of the most disastrous and serious fires that the city had ever witnessed. The business offices, editorial and reportorial departments, composing room, stprage departments and many of the fifts that could not be replaced had been destroyed in a blaze that broke out about 4 a. m. Despite the fact that the plant was temporarily crippled, there was no break in the issuance of a dally edi- tion, the paper being published a year ago today at the plant of the Hart- ford “Courant” In Hartford, The “Herald" organization worked day and night. Motor truck fleets were brought into service to haul machin- ery, equipment and stock to New Britain and on Sunday aftefnoon the “juice” was turned on in an im- provised plant that was, on the follow- ing day, to lssue the first post-fire edition. Work was sped up on the reconstruction of the Herald bulld- ing. In the course of 10 weeks, the new plant was thrown open, Newly furnished and equipped in every de- partment, with every modern require- ment of an up-to-date newspaper plant, it was declared by the many newspaper publishers who visited here to be one of the best in New Eng- land. Shortly atter four o'clock on the morning of November 2, Patrick How- ley, a former policeman, was going off night duty. Passing the “Herald" plant he caught a glimpse of fire burning .on the sscond floor toward the rear o{ the bullding, He sent in an alarm to which all the companies in the eity responded. In a matter of ‘but few minutes® the entire sec- ond floor was like a raging furnace and the fire was eating its way into the business office. Several lines of hose were laid and the fire fighters un- der the direction of Chief W. J. Noble battled furiously, dividing their attentions between efforts to put out the fire and to prevent its spread to adjolning bulldings. The huge aerial ladder was pressed into service and a stream of water directed from its tower. For miles around, the.sky was il- luminated by the blaze that had found its way through the roof. Hundreds were awakened and ran to the scene of the fire. Practically every police- man was rushed to Church street, where lines of safety were soon es- tablished so that the firemen might work unhamperd. After nearly an hour's battle, the firemen had subdued the flames suf- ficlently to allow of a comparatively safe entry Into the building and they undertook to attack the blaze from {nside. Capt. George Hoffman of No. 1 station fell through a. weakened floor and was injured. He was given treatment and taken to his home. When the flooring: crashed through, an alarm was spread [that 'several firemen were buried-under the debris, and a call was sent for the ambu- lance. Upon its arrival it was found that there was no need for hospital treatment for the fire fighters. When the factory employes were wending their way ‘toward the places of their employment shortly before seven o'clock, three hours after the outbreak of the blaze, water was still being poured on the building. Short- I driven away and in less than half an hour workmen were carting away the debris to make room fer reconstruc- tion. 3 Expert mechanics of the Goss city in a few hours. They found that, with the exception of a par-baking of rollers on the press, the mechan- jsm had suffered nothing more serlous than a severe water soaking. On the following day they had' it in opera- tion. Salesmen of the Intertype com- pany arrived in the city, took orders for typesetting equipment and had it on the floor and operating in four days. Paper stocks were hurried to the city and other equipment was de- spatched with no loss of time through the agency of water, rail and motor. In the meantime business and edi- torial offices were established in a va, cant store opposite the ‘“Herald” plant. These offices were maintained until, work on the new building hav- ing been completed, it was ready for business in the early part of Janu- ary. City Items Victrolas and Planus, Hunry Merana, —advt.

THE PRISONER OF ZENDA Directed by Rex Ingram Better Than “The Four ‘Horsemen” REX INGRAM’S Massive Production BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1022, WOULD ABROGATE TREATY, Chinese Governi Passes Bill Op- posing Japan's 1 Demanyds,” Peking, Nov, 2.—~(By Assoclated Press.)—Abrogation of ‘the treaty ¢mbodying Japan's famous “twenty- one demands,” is required of the Chi- nese government in a bill passed by the lower house of parliament today. The bill directs that the treaty be re- jected on the ground that it never was approved by China's parliansnt and therefore is invalld, The moasure, will be introduced in the senate when that body sucgeeds in electing a speaker, a task-at which it has been engaged since the opening of parliament, The bill provides that the government send. the original treaty with the 21 demands to be dls- cussed by the present parljament. FIRST MOVE NUST COME FROM C. OFC. Mix-Up in C. . Electon Mast Be Remedied by Directors Although Police Commissioner Wil- llam’ F. Lange, who has been nomi- nated tor director of the Chamber of Commerce at the annual meeting, No- vember 8, will not be eligible to be a candidate for-that, office unless he | takes out a membership in the or- ganization, no action has been taken since the Herald's discovery early this week that Mr. Lange is not a mem- ber of the Chamber, A meeting of the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, Which was postponed from Monday until yester- day, was called off for the week yes- terday, because of lack of sufficient business. Whether or not the tter will be brought before the dirdetors at the regular weekly meeting next Monday is problematical. It is understood that Mr. Lange has not sought this office, but his name was proposed by the nominating committee because the members of that committee felt he would be a good man to serve the intereats of the community through the Chamber of Commerce. Y When asked whether any director has been elected heretofore, who was not & member of the Chamber, a di- rector replied that he did not think it had ever happened. Chalrman E. W. Christ of the nominating committes stated that there was nothing for the committee to do, that the first move must come from the Chamber. The by-laws provide for certain fees for directors representong spe- cific groups, which ‘include a $12 membership fee for individuals se- lected from the group at large. Since three directors are elected from the group at large, the disqualifying of Mr. Lange leaves but four candidates from which these there must be se- lected. If Mr. Lange should take out ba $1:2 ‘membership before the annual banquet and election, November 8, his candidacy would be: legal, it is sald.
