XEW TORK, May r Coney Island, the
playground of New Tork. suffered the
worst fire disaster in It history early
today. r'reamland. the hLrget of the i
imiwmut parka, was w:pd out and about j
four bltcks adjoining, oovered alth booths,
restaurants, botf la, moving picture tbea- i
tera and resort of various type, were de
stroyed. I
The ftre broke out at I o'clock In the
morning and wa not under control until
three and a half hours later. Tbe loss will
amount ta between ir.OOU.000 and n.000.000.
In all about K buildings were bumert
dosrn and pThar 2.000 persons-oonoes-sion.'ure
and employes were turned into
the streets, homeless and penniless. No
live were lost.
The burned area represents Dearly a
third of the entire amusement city, sJl of
which would undoubtedly bsve gone in the
teeth cf a strong wind, but for the fact
that Coney Island, with a high pressure
water system especially designed for fir
protection, is better guarded against a dis
aster of this kind than any other similar
resort la the world.
The fire was discovered, a tiny blase,
la the tarred scaffolding of "Hen Gate, a
soente railway dose ' to the entrance of
DreamlaBd.
Blase -Twaus by Gale. "
Twenty minutes alter a frightened watch
man bad turned in three aiarcna, one after
aaothec. mm fast as bis thumbs oorold press
tbe key. an Dreamland tea acers of gaady,
closely packed buildings, was one blase.
The tlasnea, urged by a strong wind, were
visible for nearly fifteen miles
Close to -Hell Gate" where the ftre
started, was the Pel i ail Is arrtiptl show,
and nearer yet the infant Incubator, a
charity nursery, la which were six wee In
fants and their attendant. The chDdrea
were taken out ta their little glaas bouses
and rusbed out of danger by tbe police.
Then came the work of taking out the
animals, a costly collection including sev
eral dangerous man-eaters. Tbe animal
were In a panic. Their roaring could be
heard for many blocks above the crackling
cf tbe flames and the throbbing of he
engine. Tbe trainer lost no time. While
policemen with drawn revolvers atood at
the entrance to guard tbe crowd ks the
streets against any beasts that might es
carie, .be attendants drove their charges
from the cages dowa the runways into the
emergency vans which are always ready.
The fire spread so rapidly that slaty of
ths 106 animals were left to die In the
flames. One large lion which escaped was
killed by a squad of police.
One Man is Mlaalagr.
There were several narrow escapes among
employes and performers who were in tbeir
beds wbea the Cre started, but all were ac
counted for this morning, esoept a property
maa cocBected with Ferrari's animal shew.
The burned area extends from Third to
Tenth streets, and from Surf avenue to the
sea, and equals eight city blocks. Th
management of Ireamland place their loss
at C,r.eun. and that on the ether build
ings and amusement enterprises will be
about tXMKi.ttx mure. The animals burned
to death were valued at lliC,t)0. The
Balmer baths were destroyed. Twenty
four individual shows were burned, besides
a number of resuvurants and smaller ta
terprist. Ths only animals saved from Ferrari"
shows were two lions, a leopard, two
Hamas, two monkeys and six pontes. The
others, Inelmr'r.g six lions, twenty-four
monkeys, ejight)eoparda a baby elephant,
poalee, bear cub and llamas, were as ter
rified by the names that tbey refused
to be driven Into wheeled cages, kept oa
hand for ahlfting them.
In addition to Black PriDoe. the Ilea that
died pierced by a hundred bullets, a leopard
and a baboon earaiwd from their eages
and ran among the crowd. Pohretnen shot
them both.

tion of tbe use of Intoxicants by diplo
matic representatives of the United States

sembly of the Presbyterian church. A
resolution was tiassed by acclamation call- 1
tng on the secretary of state to discourage i

William J. Bryan at a temperance meeting
here last night. In which he Is reported to
have said that on his visit to South Amer
ican countries he bad found that appar
ently the chief bus! new of the diplomatic
corps was "absorbing liquor."
We of the Tnited States don't have to
keep our representatives drunk In order to
persuade them to do their woVk." Mr.
Bryan is alleged to bare said.
This aroused the members of the as
sembly and the following resolution was
adopted:
Whereas, Wa. as a nation, have abolished
tbe use of intoxlearing beverages from
both houses of eongress and our army and
navy, and.
Whereas, Ths example of this nation has
a powerful Influence over other nations;
therefore, bo it
Resolved. That tbe aemeral' assembly
hereby petitions tbe authorities to disoona
tenanoo the ase of intoxioatlng liouars at
all diplomatic functions at home and abroad
and that a eopy of these resolutions be

TRIP IS HIGHLY FRUITFUL

Dusty, perhaps a bit travel worn, but
enttiuolastlc. Omaha boosterr of the Com
mercial club's trade excursion returned
last nlrht. There wa one firm blurt of
glorious noise from the bir siren whistle
and all Omaha knew that thev were back.
Offlcia's of the Commercial club snd
members of the excursion party were
unanimous la declaring the ex;edition out
Into the territory of Nebraska a succesx.
Many town too young to be manned
were discovered by the booster. Thousand
of bells were distributed and the runphlne
of Omaha prosperity beamed In. many a
community. Everywhere the visitor from
the Ftate metropoll w-re greeted with
true Nebrake hospitality and appreciation.
saitb Hlhly atlofled.
Speaking of the trade excursion after be
returned from a full six days' trip 'ast
evening. Arthur C. Smith, president of the
M. E. Smith company, said: "The trade
excursion was perfectly. I might say
scientifically, handled. First the crowd
were gotten out to meet the party and they
were truly given a wonderful reception.
Then the train was pulled Into practieaUy
evarj town oa time; tbe bond was ready
for the march and gave us good music to
march by: the school authorities appreci
ated tbe opportuatty for the children: tbe
boosters even had th giving of souvenirs
down ts a science and tbe meeting of the
business men was ' done systematically.
From evnry standpoint it was a well organ
ised and a well handled trip. Both the
comrntttee of the " Commoroial club and
those In charge of the plans and the Union
Pacific railroad deserve much credit for
the way la "which the trade excursion has
been conducted,
"As to the territory covered, we return
borne with a better opinion of Nebraska
than ever. We have passed through coun
ties which only a few years ago were
ridiculed for their lack of production. We
have seen these transformed sections of
the state and tbe healthy towns and cities
which they are supporting. Ther were no
evidences of bard times nor poverty in any
toa-a or city. Everyone seems to be Bring
the best possible and enjoying all tbe com
forts of life."
Profitable Pabllrlty Gained.

are largely responsible for ths great crowds
of people and school children who have
greeted the Omahans, aatd Will A. Camp
bell, who had charge of the publicity work
for tbe trip for the advertising commit
tee. "We sent out a few news items to th
papers along ths line, but they not only
published what we sent, they wrote many

American Press association furnished many
cuts and columns of 'plate matter' which
the papers generously used. Take paper
