NAllAN'l'. .\l.ul.~5., .lnne 11.-—(AP).
Fire starting in a boys' club house
early today destroyed between 40
and 50 collages ill anlani. former
home of licnry Cabal Lodge. First
estimates by police placed the dam-
age at $1,000.000 but later it was
said it probably would not exceed
$350,000. Fully half of the collagen
were occupied and many of them
were year round homes. although
others \wre summer residences.
At first it “as feared the fire
would spread to a section of impos-
ing residences but the wind shifted
and blew the flames south to houses
of a more modest type. Town of-
ficers were unwilling to set an esti-
mate on the average value of the
cottages destroyed but one man lost
five _\vhlch be valued at $40.000. t
woman lost two houses and on
buildings valued at $100,000.
An area betwcell a quarter and a
half a mile long and about. 300 yards
wide was swept by the fire. The.
houses sat at the top of a hill about
a quarter of a mile from the sen.
but directly in the line of the breezes
that blew off the ocean.
The houses burned were in the
vicinity of Garden Road. 'l‘rl-Moun-
lain Road and Bay View avenue.
Arrival of a Boston fire boat was
believed largely responsible for
checking the flames as it was im-
possible to obtain enough water
through the four inch mains to stop
their spread. The fire host, pumped
salt water up to the firemen from
Lynn. Salem and Swampseott who
were fighting the fire.
One home destroyed was that of
former State Senator Cabot Johnson.
It was valued at $20,000. \
The cottages burned were on Col-
by Hill which rises above Bass
Point. Three of the buildings burn-
ed were known to be. lodging houses
and it was said that 18 of the houses
were occupied the. year around.
So far as could be learned only
one man. Elton Dussault, was hurt.

The New Haven Railroad has re-

"If we die, you will starve." And

in New York would willingly com-

New Haven Railroad would let

ground is obtainable at low price:

Attorney Malone
Won’t B e “Goat,”
However, and Gets
Into Legal Light .
NEW YORK. Juno 11.—(AP).
Figurative goats. instead of men-
keys l1avo figured largely in the
closing hours of the New York visit
of John T. Scopes. high school tea-
cher. who goes on trial next month
at Dayton. Tennessee. for violating
the state law against the teaching of
evolution.
In an address last night to New
York sympathizcrs Scopes told of his
pleasure over being the “goat" in a
fight for freedom of thought.
Meanwhile Dudley Field Malone.
New York lawyer. who had been
relegated to assist by research. an-
nounced that he would not be a
"goat:" that he would assist actively
in the case or not at all. So he was
accepted as one of active counsel.
Scopes. who leaves for home to-
day, was a guest at a dinner of the
("vic club last night. He said he
as embarrassed in addressing the
distinguished group of liberals and
radicals first because he was young
and inexperienced and secondly be-
cause while an automobile had been
sent to get Clarence Darrow. one of
his counsels. he had to walk to the
club and got lost.
“Being a goat is not so unpleas-
ant. " he said. "If you are going to
be a goat you want to take thought
as to whether you are to be a big
goat or a little one. " he explained.
"I really and truly think this is a
fight for freedom of thought. This
trial is not to judge whether I am a
criminal."
