Swept along In the face of a twenty- Ova mile gale, fire today destroyed several sections of the city and did damage estimated at half a million dollars. For a time It was thought that a great portion of the city would be swept, and aid was summoned from Buffalo and Syracuse. Generously and promptly the out of town fire men, with apparatus responded, but ere they reached the scene the heroic work of the local department and of volunteers had gotten the flames under check and their assistance was not re quired. One hundred families tonight are homeless and militiamen are In the affected zones guarding what lit tle the people saved of their house hold effects. Mayor Edgerton has issued "a call for relief funds for these families. Some of them are quartered In pre cinct houses and a large number are spending the night In a public school.

The increase went into effect at 6 o'clock today. The Palmer building, a- four-story brick structure devoted to manufac ture Interests, at Main and Qlbbs streets, was the starting point of the conflagration which spread over a wide area, and then jumped nearly a mile and started a second series of fires of such proportions that aid was summoned from Buffalo and Syra cuse. By the time the out of town firemen arrived, however, the local firemen were masters In both fire areas. Although accurate estimates cart not be made at this time, the loss is estimated at at least $600,000. This includes t0, 000 on the Palmer build ing; $100,000 on the Hunting com pany, manufacturers of plumbers sup plies; $90,000 on the beautiful Jewish temple, Bcrith Kodesh, which is in ruins, 'and the rest in small amounts, is apportioned among manufacturers, houscowners and tenants.

Rapid Spread. The spread of the flames, once they had gotten a good start In the Pal mer buPdlng, was rapid. Here and there, sparks carried 'by the swift winds, kindled new Are. Residents became panic-stricken. Apparently all reason was lost and there was but one thought the city was doomed. Some of the women threw from the windows of houses not yet burning, beds, bureaus, tables and all sorts of articles of funlture and personal prop erty. In this way considerable prop erty was needlessly demolished. The fire broke out so frequently In the northeastern part of the city that companies could not be dispatched to all of them, but volunteer brigades helped in keeping down the Are loss.

Little atten tion was paid to the new fire at first, but soon alarms sounded from half doxen boxes In the same vicinity. Jet of fire were beginning to appear on buildings scattered over a wide area. The Reformed,church fire, aid ed by the wind, helped to spread the destruction. The entire district rapjd ly became a scene of confusion and calls for additional aid were sent in.

Men, women and children tore their hair and knelt In the street to pray. Their shout were terrifying. One woman, MarjKIr schnamsUy, went violently insane. Draymen reaped a harvest. A large number of rigs of various description Invaded the district and offered for $5, $10 or more to remove goods to places of Safety. Any amount asked was given by the half crazed Polish Jews and they stored as many of their goods as nossible on the wagons, never knowing even their destination. Clean Sweep.

HOW TO RAISE THE IZI IS NOW LEADING PROBLEM How To Get Revenue To Meet $120,000,000 Deficit Puzzles the Solons PAYNE MEASURE WILL FALL SHORT Receipts From Original Mea sure Would Be Far From Meeting Deficit. (Ily Clydo Tsvouner.) WASHINGTON, April 13. Th problem of raising revenue to offset the $120,000,000 annual dcnclt result ing from republican extravagance Is dally looming larger on the horlson. Although an attempt wus made In the Pnyno bill to solve the deficiency In the national finances by increasing the tax on necessities, and even by placing a double, duty on death through an Inheritance tax, It tailed utterly.
