An entire city block, closely built with, apartment houses, was wiped out early today in Brooklyn, and over a thousand persons were made homeless.

Twenty per sons were overcome by the smoke, but no lives were lost. Hundreds of thous; ands of dollars worth of property were destroyed. Tlere were many thrilling, narrow escapes. One insiapce was a policeman with a child clasped in his arms who was dragged unconscious from a hallway, The fire started in an amusement house. - MUST GET OUT OF MISSOURI State Supreme Cbiirt Hands Down De cision As to the Standard Oil.

Our waterways from our great har bors to our most remote rivers should be improved so as to get the best results from them. Germany, I think, utilizes its harbors and rivers to the' greatest extent ' of any nation: and France utilizes her rivers and har bors to a great extent and has more canals than Germany and in fact more ! canals (according to size, - except Hol land) -than any country in the world. Both France and Germany are as well or the" best developed nations in the world and they . have mastered, the transportation problem, which one of our, speakers said was the " greateet l artd most important problems !on earthj and I ' think he was right.

Not victory;, perhaps, in its most austere, conquering sense, but simply that it h4s gone far .to put an end to specula tion as to the conditioh ofnhe"pipe. The test was made of six inch pipe at Front ;and Dock, streets pipe that had been in the 'ground twenty-seven years knd at what ;might ?. be called a sort of ?dead point," as the sectiqn at Front and Dock is not in frequent use and consequently does not get the circula tion other pipe gets. The joint taken put was in : fine condition, it must be 4f mitted and -was pronounced so by many onlookers, by- Alderman T. W. Wood, ; ichairman' of the Waterworks :ttommittee; and by several machinists who examined the pipe and gave ex- Ijf iyaS: better than the pipe of today, be--Ttause in the old lays they made pipe better. The "section Chairman Wood has nrt statos hA will hp ?l9rt tr shnw it to any one who desires to see it. ; :Afterf the holidays a test of some 4 inch pipe is to be made. These tests are decidediy the proper thing and should haye been made some time ago. There has "been speculation, and rightly so, aitg whether the pipe was in good cpndition pr not and; as v it was under grpund;.and' had been there for years afd years why the best way to see was';-to.-.- examine.
