(tered over a large area FOREST FIRES ARE CAUSE OF DAWAGE Two People, Homes and Wood: | lands Destroyed by Flames New York, April 20 P—Driven by winds, which at times attained a ve- locity of 60 miles an hour, forest and grass fires today had taken two, possibly four, lives and destroyed thousands of acres of woodlands and close to a hundred homes in central New York, Long Island, Eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jerscy and northern Delaware., Many of the residents of Barne- gat, N. J., had loaded their valuables | into boats on Barnegat Bay as the| fire circle closed in on the town,! rcady to flee if the hundreds of vol- unteer workers were unableto check | the flames, The deaths occurred in fighting | the flre about Barnegat. ¥rank Eayres’ 50, of Waretown, was burned to death when his home was de- stroyed, and Vincent Clayton, 50, a member of the United States coast guard at Spring Lake, was fatally injured when he fell from a fire truck. Unconfirmed reports were that Tony Baruca, of Barnegat, and a man named Camburn at Manahaw- kin, J., also were burned to death. Jesse Bozarth, New Jersey district fire warden, and Earl Ridgeway, both of Barnegat. were seriously burned fighting the blaze, which early today was still beyond control. The fire in the south mountains near Gettysburg, Pa., was belicved of incendiary origin but the others started from various causes, such as sparks from chimneys and un- tended fires in grass plots. Two school teachers who led their cliarges to safety today were being hailed heroines by their communi- ties. Alds Five Miss Annie Wilson, a school teach- er at Nanticoke Crossing, near Endi- cott, N. Y., dismissed her charges when she saw the fire closing in on the home of Charles Ross near by und rescued five children from the | Liouse just as its walls started to Llaze, Miss Ella Brennan led her 100 pu- pils to safety when a forest fire closed in on her school at Yatesville, | near Pottaville, Pa. The fires In New Jersey were scat- with the raost menacing blaze near Barncgat. Tive hundred acres were estimatvd to have been burned over near Flanders with the summer home of John McCully destroyed and that of Mra. Charles D, Thompson of Brook- | Iyn menaced by the flames. Over 1,-{ 000 acres had been burned over at Pleasant Mills, N. J., Tuesday, and recurring fires destroyed additional timberlands yesterday. | Waretown and Manahawkin were two other towns menaced by the fire which swept down on Barnegat. It was estimated seven squarc miles of timber had heen burned over in that section, The most serious fires in Pennsyl- vania were in the Lehigh mountains near Allentown, where scores of homes were abandoned to the flames. Other fires occurred in 1t timberlands in Chester county and near Boyertown, Pa., a 10-mil: strip being burned over at the latter place. Fires On Long Island The fires in New York state, in addition to that near Endicott, wers on Long Island near Bay where the pine forest helt of ber was burned over and at two homes and several burned at the latter place the state line near Athen Hurin_g_leen Mrs. Pera By Immigration Agenti Inspector William Clark of th deral immigration partment card evidence yesterday afternoo! the case of Mrs. Klizaheth Pera, uged 70, of Connecticut avenus is alleged to have entered the United | States illegally by using a passport issued to the mother of her son-in- faw.
