Hershey Department Was Soon on the Scene and in Spite of the Poor-ness of the Water Supply it Did •)'¦ Good Work. The Loss Plac- - ed at Ten Thousand Monday afternoon shortly after 4 o'clock the ringing of the fire bell in Hershey brought tie people to the windows or to the. streets. The mem-bers of the Hershey Fire Department were quick to respond and were soon at work getting . out the apparatus from the Fire House on Caracas Ave-nue. A call for assistance had come from Swatara. Soon huge clouds of smoke could .be seen and it looked as though the whole of Swatara was going. The first reports were that it was the hotel and center of the town. But it was soon discovered that it was in the row of twelve frame houses along the pike. Near the center of the row was the house occupied by the Somonis. About four . o'clock Mrs. Somoni made a fire in the cook stove. The pipe became so hot that it set fire to the ceiling. The dwellings were of frame and were built close together, so that there was every chance for the fire to spread. Very quickly the people gathered, including the men from the quarries and many from Hershey. In spite of bucket brigades and the use of the water at hand nine of the houses were burned. Most, of the furniture was saved but some of it . was destroyed. The houses were occupied by Italians and these families had many boarders, so that they sheltered about a hun-dred persons. A few stated they lost considerable money which they had hidden. All-the houses were owned by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Coroda and the loss is placed at $10,000, with in-surance. . The families burned out were taken care of for the night by their fortu-nate friends and they are now set-tled in new homes. The fire was spectacular with col-umns of smoke that could be seen for many miles. One of the Harrisburg papers printed a story about a murder mystery in. connection with the fire, but it was only a wild rumor. The Hershey Fire Department did excellent work in spite or the handi-cap of little water.. Among the fire fighters were Herman Schwers, Cyrus Garman, Roy McKissick, Ray Neis, George Eppley. John Conrad, fire chief, was ably assisted by H. H. Hoffer in directing the work. William B. Leithiser did good work in getting the apparatus to the fire. M. S. Hershey was one of the first on the scene and remained until the fire was well under control. Hundreds from Hershey were there. All the members of the Fire Company responded. , The last time the Hershey Fire Company turned out was at the fire that destroyed the Curry Mills at Swatara. They did such excellent work then that the Swatara people voted them a sum of money in ap-preciation. Their work on Monday was of the same merit.' Spectacular Fire Burns Nine Dwellings in Swatara The Lusitania Horror Germany has horrified the world by torpedoing the Lusitania , the finest ship of the sens. There wore about 2,000 passengers, of whom 1150 wore lost, including 115 Americans. The ship was worth $8,000,000 and she had h valuable cargo. Among the Americans drowned wore lending men in business and the professions. This act is culled piracy and it may bring this country into war, but President Wilson and others arc asking the peo-ple to bo calm and efforts are being made to enforce the position of the United States and with that also to preserve peace. Former President Taft supports President Wilson. Former President UooHovolt says, "Without twenty-four hours' delay, tills country could and should take effective action by declaring thait , in view of Ger-many 's murderous offenses ugninsk the rights of neutrals , all commerce with Germany shall bo forthwith for-bidden , ' and nil commerce of every kind permitted and encouraged with Franco, England and tho rosfc of the civilized world," Germany is pursuing the wur with a rutliluHHiiosH thai ; is .frightf u l be-yond words.
