SI 00.000 FIRE AT LINCOLN. NEBR. Fire SnppoMed to Have lleen Work of Two I'nMicniMin-DcMno)-m1 Three Hie OMMMi Lincoln. Neb, Sept. 8. Fire wbieh started about 12:1a a m. to day almost totally destroyed the plant of the Schuck 1 Yost lunib. it lompany, the Hebb Motor rompany :td the Hewitt elevator and flour bouse located at Twenty-seventh and Y streets. The lire seemed to have started In the lumber yard. In a few minutes it had leaped across the Mis souri Pacific tracks on X stree and attacked the Hebb plant and the He- Witt elevator. In less than three quarters of an hour the lumber yard on the west side of Twenty-seventh, the Motor company plant on X and Twenty-sixth and the HeWiti build ing were almost total losses. The large flour house of the HeWitt com pany, standing east of the elevator structure, and said to contain a large amount of flour, feed and hay, while badly soaked, was not so badly dam aged. The loss, estimated by some a the ground while the fire was rag ing, will exceed $100 t'OO by a con siderable figure. This estimate, how ever, was not made by the owners of the pla..t. No figures were available on Insur ance. A light southeast wind wat; blow ing at the time and th's helped to carry the fire northward. llenkfeiicH In Danger. Some damage was n98f to the large Trester resideuc at Twenty seventh and W streets. Other nearby j evidences were aligfetty scorched Kor a time it looked like lh fire might cut thru a line of residences to the north, but the absence of a high wind made It possible for the firemen to prevent it spreading beyond the three plants named. Along North Twenty-sixth streej the. fire burned off a large number of electric wires and this added ta the danger spectators being present in large numbers. For several blocks along Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh and other nearby streets autos were packed thickly. It was estimat ed that a crowd of two thousand people- saw the bla?e which nvde a great light In the sky visible from every part of the city. Two box cars standing on the sid ing near the HeWitt elevator were burned. Ml I'sed .Much Water. By the time the firemen arrived in force the possibility of saving the property then on fire seemed remote. Five streams were played on the fire and it was checked from spreading further, tho for a time it seemed the water had little effect. The inflam mable nature of the motor plant and the lumber yard made the blaze ex ceedingly difficult to control. Danger of a further spread, however, had ben averted by 1 a. m. An earlier :.:arm Would have caus ed much property salvage. The blaze BBighl have been checked in the lum ber yard had the firemen got word in time. It is Understood that the Hebb Mo tors company, makers of auto bodies, tops and truck frames, had a large amount of unfinished work and ma terial in the plant. Autos Nearby When Fire Megan. At the L. H. Trester home, it was said that the motv.-man of an 11:30 street car which at r.bout that hour (ran passing the lumber y tr ls Mat ed he saw no flames but thr.' an auto mobile was standing before the place. As the car was returning he m id that the auto was leaving and at the same tlmi (lames shot forth from the yards. Reports of those who saw the lire early said that it blazed up quickly, seeming to spread from a tin;- blaze In a minute to a great b'aze that cov ered more thr.n hi It" a block. Thief of Police Malone was .n the way home when the fire first showed up and he w nt direct to the scene. When he arrived the Hre was burn ing in the center of the lumber yard, where it first st 'rted.

So John Philip Sousa, at the re quest of the National council of de fense, h-s written a vredding march for Americans. Eb feral months ago BOUSS was re quested by the National council of de fense to write a new wedding march. SOUSA waited for an inspiration It came finally. That was three weeks ago. and the mrch, ence started, was soon completed. Then it was played in Detroit by Sousa's own band be fore an audience. That was to be the test of Ki DOWer to hold toe public. At the Dnlsh the outbursts of ap plsnse satisfied the composer that be had succeeded in his undertaking. Then he dedicated the piece, which is to be known as 'Sousa's Wedding March " to the American public.
