FED THE FLAMES.
Building on Eleventh
Street Burned.
Hasty Departure of ThinIy Clad Ten
ants From Blazing Dwellings.
Estimated Loss $4,000.

The Chinese lauDdryman has never been
regarded as a desirable acquisition to any
Deignborhood. His use of coal oil and
other infammable material is VIGOROUSLY
reckless, and wherever he establishes his
washhouse the firemen prepare for work.
Dwe!lers in Hayes Valley saw one Of
Johns hives of industry go up In smoke and
flame Saturday afternoon and the people
who live at Folsom and Eleventh streets
saw another destroyed early yesterday
morning. They also saw some of their
own property licked up by the devouring
element.
The fire broke out 1T 2:48 o'clock In the
washhouse at pa Eleventh street. 1t is or
was a one-story building, and az that early
hour the pagans were hard at work polish
ing linen for the patriotic citizen who en-
ploys them while men and women Of his
own race seek for work.
The loud yells of the Mongolians when
they found the wash house on fire aroused
the sleepers in the adjoining houses. They
hurried thinly clad to the street and
turned in an alarm from box 70. The
flames from the Laundry sped along the
row of houses on Eleventh street to Fol-
som and turned the corner. Several build
ings were blazing when the firemen ar
rived and many of the occupants had been
compelled to take TO the street without
paying much attention to their toilets.
The loud cries of horse. who was being
burned to death in a little stable at the
corEer. were heard above the tumult, and
several futile efforts were made TO rescue
the tortured animal, but as often as he
was led to the door of the blazing struc-
ture he withdrew into the building aud
finally perished.
The aggregate loss to owners and ten
ants amounts to about $4,000 Mrs. M.
Schnutenhaus, owner Of the laundry
building. was the heaviest loser. Her loss
on that structure is estimated al $500.
The Chinese lost little of value, except the
garments of their patrons
The building adjoining, at 246 Eleventh
street, was owned aud occupied by Mrs.
A. Hulbach. Her loss is also estimated at
$780, Mrs. Schnutenhaus owns the build
ing on the north west corner of Eleventh
and Folsom streets, which was damaged
to the amount of $500. The building was
occupied by Mrs. Nj. BeckmaD, A. Fava,
E. Martin, G. Jansen and Mrs. Austin.
L. Dolan, owner of the building 1904 and
l5O41b Folsom street, estimates his loss at
$500 LOT that structure and at $3.50 for a
stable in the rear, which was rented to NJ
Rosenberg. 1t was in this stable, which
was totally destroyed. that the horse uas

Chief Crowley Wants to Change the

Chief of Police Crowley is anxious to
make radical change in the harbor police
service.
What he proposes is to abolish one of
the harbor stations and consolidate it with
the other station, which should be near
the ferries depot. In a communication to
the Board of Supervisors yesterday Chief
Crowley asked that police station site be
provided at a central point, near Market
and East streets. The destruction by fire
of the South Harbor station at Folsom and
East streets Thursday last gives an oppOr-
tunity. so be states, to change the location
