From the ruins of Fall River's as designed in 1920 and sketched Harry Monks (right) is heading fortune to good account, | _Fall River, Mass,, April 27. (P— This textile city has turned disaster to advantage, When fire roared through ten acres of buildings in the heart of the financial and business district on February 2, the city was pre- pared in an unusual way for the disaster. Plans made eight years ago, un- der the direction of the city plan- ning board, for improvement of | streets, parks and public buildings | were taken from the files. The loss of some $6,000,000 was a severe blow to the city, already hard hit by depression to the tex- | tile industry that affected its great mills, Nevertheless, an ordinance the erection of new buildings until plans for the reconstruction of the burned area were approved. A i(‘abl(‘gram to Egypt summoned Ar- {thur A, Shurtleff, town planner, ! home. Working since that time with | Mayor W. Harry Monks, a commit- | tee of _citizens, a merchants’ com- mittee and the planning board have Handsome City Center Will Rise From Ruins of Fall River Fire| "o ve s vie e 1 wasa $6,000,000 fire of February is to rise in the center of the Massachusctts city a model district with 60- foot streets, new city hall and federal building, and a parked square, in the diagram above. Mayor W. the group which has turned mis- \now decided to widen half a mile | of strects that proved too narrow | for business or safety in the event of fire. Arrangements for a new federal building . have been made. A new city hall will be built nearby. The land between the two new struc- tures, now occupled by the old fed- cral building, will be set aside for a park. This square, with the two publi buildings facing across it, will | serve in a utilitarian way as well as [to beautify the center, It will ad- | mit light and air. It will provide | aditional space for the parking of | motor vehicles and additional room | for pedestpians. And it is designed an- | other conflagration threatens the | aistrict. . Forty and 50-foot strects will be expanded to widths of 60 feet in the | neighborhood. Thus the fire, through the de- termination of the people and the government, has made possible im- provements that might not other- wise have been made in years. And the city has made good the announcement prepared for high- way billboards on the day after the one. But we also have a big city with real people in it. We are going to make it Dbigger and better | than ever.” LIFE NEMBERS OF " HISSIONARY UNION New Britain and Berlin Women | Honored at Convention e — hanges in the constitution to |make the orgnization a holding cor- | | poration were recommended at the | |annual convention of the Woman's | Home Missionary union of Connecti- | |cut in session at New Haven. The | | convention voted for the adoption of | |new constitution and bylaws as rec- | ommended by the continuation com- | mittee and reelected the present of- | | ficers to continue until : new or-| | sanization which is under way shall | be perfected. | Changes in the bylaws were voted | following the recommendation to| make the organization a holding cor- | poration hereafter. All vice-presi- dents were elected life members. | Mrs. James B. Thomson and Miss Sara Rogers of New Britain and Mrs. Samuel A. Fiske of Berlin were included. A large number of New Britain, Berlin, Plainville and Bristol women were present. A number of nation- ally prominent speakers were on 1 the program. | A meeting will be held In Hart- | ford in October to complete the for- | mation of the new organization to | be known as “The Council of Con- | gregational Women of Connecticut.” More than 600 women attended the sessions. WARSHALL SENDS - NOTE T0 FRIEND \Sandino Prisoner Says He Is Treated Fairly Managua, Nicaragua, April 27 (®) | —General Augustino Sandino, rebel cader, has disappeared into the i jungle country of northern Nicar- agua after making threats to raid | Puerto Cabezas on the east coast. | There are 4,000 Nicaraguan labor- jers at Puerto Cabezas and the east | coast in general was understood to | be sympathetic with the Sandino | cause. There have also -heen tales ‘ot discharged laborers joining the insurgent movement. Despite this, most of the 600 Americans at Puerta Cabezas. em- ployed by the Standard Fruit and | Steamship company and the Brang- man Bluff lumber company regard the rebel threat as a bluff. Presence of a large garrison of American ma- rines and an American gunboat | there reassured them. | With the disappearance of Sandino | ness,” Major the fate of George B. Marshall of New York, who was seized by Gen- eral Giron, a 8andino officer, became more of a mystery today. Giron who left La Luz y Los Angeles mine on April 138 after seizing the Amer- ican and looting La Luz and neigh- boring mines said he would join other rebel bands in the Pis Pis min- ing district 20 miles away. An un- dated note from Marshall sald he ‘was being accorded fair treatment. Marine brigade headquarters an- nounced today that an air squadron flying over the Pis Pis region on Wednesday found no evidence of rebels in the district. At Ulucwas, an Indian village, they found the population hidden but at other points conditions were normal. “The area from the Coco river to San Pedro is an uninhabited wilder. Ross E. Rowell, in charge of the squadron, reported. “It s covered by an impenetrable for- st. For one hundred miles only one hut was seen, which was the only sign of habitation. “San Pedro is a small village of about 15 houses. A small group of men and women came out and gazed up at the planes.” 28 ARE ARRESTED Bogota, Colombia, April 27 (®)— Twenty-three foreigners were under arrest in Colombia today charged with being involved in a communist movements. TFifteen were seized at Barranquilla and eight at Gali.
