DALLAS, April 22 — Fire which for an hour threatened to destroy an entire residential district in East Dallas was believed under control by police and fire officials at 3 o'clock today.
Approximately a score of homes were destroyed or burning over a four block area, but firemen believed they had the situation in hand. Three persons sustained minor injuries.
DALLAS, April 22—An entire residential district in East Dallas was threatened with destruction by fire which broke out in an apartment-house this afternoon.
Thirty houses were reported afire 20 minutes after the blaze was discovered, and a 30 mile gale carried sparks over a radius of several blocks.
At 2:30 p.m. the fire was raging uncontrolled, threatening one of the most populous districts of the city.
Two firemen were injured when a sheet of flame swept out from a burning building.
Every piece of fire fighting equipment was fighting the blaze and hundreds of volunteers were aidin the firemen in their desperate attempt to cheek the fires’ spread.
Scores of policemen rushed to the burning district and herded women and children to safety.

SENTENCE 59 ALLEGED GRAFTERS
CINCINNATI, April 22.—Fairly battling their way through crowds which jammed the courtroom, 59 policemen and dry agents appeared before U.S. Judge Smith Hickenlooper today to be sentenced as grafters.
Hickenlooper took up their cases individually.
His promise of lenency for the 59 men who confessed to accepting bribes and bootlegging didn't mean anything for Louis Sunderman, a flying squad detective and the first man sentenced.
Sunderman was given 18 months in prison and a fine of $2000 as stiff punishment as was received by any one of the three other grafters who were convicted.
The flying squad detective conferred that he received more than $17,000 in bribes to permit liquor to flow freely in his district of Cincinnati.
Lieut Aubrey Houston, second officer sentenced, received the same treatment as Sunderman. Houston said he had received $9,000 in bribes for giving protection to bootleggers.
The business of passing sentence was expected to consume most of the day.
After Sunderman and Houson came four patrolmen who were sentenced to 15 months. They escaped fines. One man was sentenced to 16 months and fined $2,000; another to 16 months and fined $1000.
Five policemen received 14 months sentences and three were given a year and a day.
The district attorney said a special train would take the sentenced men to Atlanta, leaving Cincinnati Monday morning.

"I have been engaged to a man for two years, and have been waiting for him to marry me," Mrs. Unternahrer is alleged to have told Mrs. Kolinsky. "A short time ago he threw me down. I started a breach of promise suit against him and I live in daily fear that he will kill me. I am looking for some."
Kick, Cuff Each Other In Struggling and Shouting Mass
PARIS, April 22—A rough and tumble battle royal broke out in the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon during the election of a speaker.
Deputies cuffed and kicked one another in a struggling, shouting mass around the President's chair, until the session was suspended and the chamber cleared. The fight was precipitated by Deputy Balanant, of the right, who mounted the platform behind the chair occupied by temporary President Bouilloux La Font, in order to watch the balloting. Deputies of the left objected to Balanant's action and charged down on him.
Ushers jumped in to prevent trouble but were too late. Op-posing deputies struggled and struck over the bent back of Bouilloux La Font, who was able to extricate himself with difficulty from the mieve and suspend the session.
Today's contest followed yesterday's stormy session when Premier Painleve's ship of state rode out a storm of fierce opposition in the chamber and won its vote of confidence 304 to 218.
For a time it looked as tho the presence among the ministers of Joseph Caillaux might prove o Jonch to the government but altho the usually suave finance minister reddened under bitter personal attacks until the veins stood out on his bald head he kept calm.

Policeman Clyde Nunn as shot in the shoulder in an attempt to prevent the holdup of Harlow. Nunn's condition is not considered serious. Harlow was accosted by the two bandits late yesterday and ordered to drive them to Stockton when Nunn and Policeman Chiek Taylor drove by. Sensing something wrong by the expression on Harlow's face, Taylor stopped the car and Nunn got out to investigate.
One of the bandits, identified by Harlow as Tanko, opened fire on Nunn with a 30-30 caliber rifle, wounding him in the shoulder. When Taylor returned the fire Harlow dropped to the bottom of the auto with Pauline clasped in his arms.
"Don't be afraid, little darling," the murderer soothed the child, according to its father. "I'm in love with little girls like you and the bad old policeman won't hurt you."
After Harlow's car ran out of gasoline the bandits robbed him of something over $5 and then headed toward the general direction of Stockton. An all night search failed to trap them.
