SEEN BY EASTER CROWD
Philadelphia Firemen, on Spe
cial Train, Turn Back When
Told Aid Is Not Needed
Atlantic City, April 1
Half a block on Atlantic avenue,
in the heart of , the business section
here, was destroyed by fire which
raged for more than five hours.
When the blaze was finally subdued
at 7 o'clock, seven buildings hud been
destroved ami .evornl othor were,
heavilv damatrcd. The loss is about!
?500,000. I
Fanned by high winds, the flames ,
swept from one building to another,
and officials here, believing it would j
spread to the hotel district, appealed
to nearby cities nnd to Philadelphia
for aid. Rattnlion Chief Lcithcad
nnd four engine companies set out
from Philadelphia on a special train.
At Hammonton orders were received
that their services would not be re
quired nnd they returned to their
stations.
The fire started about 2:30 this
morning, in the store of the Oliver
H. Guttridge Compnny, 1326 Atlan
tic avenue, and, fanned by a higheral Pershing's confidence in offering It I

from South Carolinn avenue to Ten

toward the hotel district under the
impetus of a twenty-five-mile,
breeze.
