Is over I am stlre it will be established
that the fire was set."
Astoria. Ore.. Dec. 9.—(By A. P.)—
Astoria today courageously surveyed
Its losses from the !|12.900.noo fire
which yesterday razed 24 Mocks of
the city's business section. The city

tastrophe a citizens’ committee hasti
ly formed, announced that obtaining
of food and other necessary supplies
and the temporary housing o£ the
homeless would be Its first object.
With the heart of the city In ruins,
still smouldering, plans for rebuild
ing Were as yet nebulous but it was
the general sentiment of all that the
rebuilding on a larger and more sub
stantial scale would start as soon as
the more Immediate relief needs were
supplied.
Food and Clothing Needed.
Hundreds of telegrams offering re
lief in the form of money and sup
piles were received here and the re
lief commutes announced that large
amounts of staple foods and quanti
ties of clothing were needed at once.

cial train carrying supplies would be
sent from there today.
Summarized, the situation was as
follows:
Twenty-five hundred persons home
less.
Ths city without banking facilities.
No food obtainable except from a
central distributing station, estab
lished by a swiftly organized com
mittee of 50 business men.
Last night beds were provided for
all without them and hot meals were
served at several stations.
Hundreds of homes have been
thrown open to those made destitute
by the blaze and all public buildings
available will provide sleeping and
eating quarters for several thousand
persons. Although not many resi
dences were In the path of the flames,
apartment houses, hotels and frame
tenement structures wero destroyed
and residents of Astoria who made
their homes in the structures barely
had time to escapo with their lives.
Hellet measures consisted of orders
to commandeer all of the city's food
supplies at once, to bo gathered to
gether in a garage building. From here
tlie supplies will he distributed to the
hungry populace upon written orders
issued by the relief committee which
has taken up permanent headquarters
In the Y. M. 0. A. offices.
Difficulties of obtaining money for
the thousands who have been deprived
of banking privileges through the de
struction of the five banking institu
tions were taken up and a committee,
headed by C, II. Higgins, president of
the Astoria National bank, was np.
pointed. Officials of the other banks
will assist.
Lines of Hungry Persons.
Word was dispatched Immediately
I y this group to the Oregon Hotel
Men's association in Portland, which
telegraphed that it had contributed
$5,000 to the relief fund to send the
currency.
Long lines of hungry persons wait
ed in front of the Y. M. C. A. where
they were being fed with sandwiches
and loaves of bread. Inside many of
the buildings, including church build
ings, near the scene of tbe terrible
blaze, women and men worked tire
lessly in an effort to provide for those
without homes.
Several grocery stores and small
meat markets in the outlying dis
tricts suffered an unprecedented rush
end police authorities, b.v way of pre
caution, issued orders against any pos
sible profiteering. As soon as sys

The town of Astoria grew front piles
built far out into the water. The piles
originally were extended Into the deep

Too Much Sex in Modern

Into Everything, Asserts
Colgate Professor.
Denver, Dee. 9.—Too much sex and
j not enough true love is the chief fault
I of modern fiction, according to Dr.
W. H. Crawshaw, professor of litera
ture and dean of Colgate college, Ham
ilton. X. Y., who spent several days In
Denver recently on his way to the
orient.
j
I Professor Crawshaw blamed present
! day "jazz literature" for many of the
I sex problems that confront society, j
"It seems to me there is loo much
of the so called eternal triangle of sex
complication in modern fiction and not^
enough of the divine trinity of love,”
Professor Crawshaw said in an inter
view here.
"We hear a lot of jazz music, and
some brilliant men are trying to put
Jazz Into history and even talk of re
writing the Bible The soviets are try
ing to put jazz into government."
Professor Crawshaw sees hope for
the world in modern education, how
ever, and declared that whenever the
world has needed it conditions have
' produced a lasting literature that has
brought about reformation, regenera
tion and rejuvenation. He believes the
world is not degenerating either in
morals or literature.
"Modern education seems to mo to
be gradually producing an aristocracy
of learning," Professor Crawshaw said.
"While we may not live to see another
Brook Farm community of Emersons
and Thoreaus and thinkers of their
type, our colleges are developing
young Emersons and Thoreaus and
sending them out with enormous up
lifting Influence in the life of the work
aday world.”
Professor Crawshaw said he aaw no

sympathy, thinks the dean, who be

man.
sign of the long looked for ' great
American novel” appearing immediate
ly, but believes the material for such
a work is available. "The man who
writes the great novel,” the professor
said, “will be a man not only of great
education, but of great human sym
pathy. His heart will he as wide as the
world and his human understanding as
deep as the blue sea. In fact, T think
probably he will be a newspaper man.”
