J.,, April 6.—A fire, apparently of incendiary o 0, swépt through an entire block on the ocean frout early yesterday de- stroying buildings valued at mor than $200,000. Firemen of six citics battled the flames for three hours before the fire was subdued. Two fires started simultaneously on the opposite sides of the Douglity block at Eighth street and the board walk. They were discovered watchman of the Bader Construc- tion company engaged in constructe ing the Boardwalk, and although he sounded an alarm at once, the flames spread with suspiclous rapidity. Three persons were rescued from the buildings. They were N. Naru- saiki, owner of a curio shop; Miss Phoebe Doughty, a daughter of the owner of the buildings and Henry Johnson, a carctaker. Mr. Nara- salki was overcome by the smoke and was attended by a puimotor crew, The buildings in the block were oc. cupled by the Holbrook Pharmacy Douglas Log Cabin Candy Shop, th Toy 8hop, Ma: s jewelry store, Cal- lfer's refreshment parlor, Ben Young’s hot dog stand, Japanese ping pong store, Fd Corman's fish- ing tackle shop, Grandma's Kitchen, and a restaurant operated by O. Henry, ‘When the chief of the Ocean City fire department saw the flames, he at | once called on the departments from Atlantic City, Ventnor, Somers int and Sea Isle which responded immediately. The fire started at 8 a. m, and was sub- dued shortly after 6 o'clock. About a week ago Mayor Joseph | G. Champion recelved an anonymous letter from a person who wrote that he would set fire to the city because the present mercantile tax is too high. He also said that the lives of the mayor and Commissioners Trout | and Edwards were in danger. “Reich” Now Translated As Republic, Not Empire Berlin, April 6. M—"Deutsches Reieh” now means German Repub- ile, according to semi-official news- Once it meant German Empirc and was the official name of the state ruled by the Hohenzollerns. “Deutsches Reich” it remains, al- though the country is now & fed- eral republic. The dictionary gives the alter- native meaning of “empire” as ap- plieable to ‘*“any powerful nation.” The Diplomatisch-Politische Kor- resppndenz, a semi-officially inspir- | cd publication, says that “Reich” is really untranslatable, and that it means in German a federation of states which retain in some form or other a sovereignty of their own. Paris Lawyers Boast Guaranteed Divorces Paris, April 6. (®—Despite the tightening up of court procedure where Americans demand divorce in Paris courts, one firm of lawyers here has advertised a special price for transatiantic separations. Five hundred dollars 1is the flat charge, with ‘“all requirements met.” Reputable American lawyers in Paria have hastened to disavow the tirm, but its advertisement has ap- peared in a number of newspapers. Authorities at the law courts sniff- ed @&t the protentions of the law firm and pointed to recent decisions to show that American divorces cannot be guaranteed, even by the ministry of justice. lair & Brodrib Radios Federal Radiola Bosch Atwater Kent $88 and up Budget System can be ar- ranged if you so desire it. “New Britain's Leading Music Store” BLARR & BRODRIB Oppo=ite Strand Theater Next to Savings Bank TEL. 5282 Stores in New Britain, New Haven, Waterbury TP | | torney, of 37 Wall street, New York, Margate, | City, | COUSIN OF TAFT DIES; 36 YEARS A RECLUSE Mrs. Virginia E.
