The San Francisco call., 1898-12-12

systematic work of a gang of laborers en- tails. In order to effect this saving MT. Baldwin IS prepared to go to almost any length, regardless of the danger to those employed in the work ana to the hun areas or passers-by, whose lives will be Tn Imminent and constant danger from Hylng debris in case he is allowed to
 The idea came to MT. Baldwin like an Inspiration, and he now talks of the use of dynamite as though it were no more ,isd uanserous os than so much sawdust. The use or high explosive first suggested it. self to his mind when his efforts to reduce the miserable pittance he had been pay ing the laborers in clearing away the runs frst became the subject of adverse comment. He at once decided 1t would pc cheaper to blow the walls down than 10 tear them down. Speaking of the pro posed use of dynamite yesterday after noon MT. Baldwin said:
 can bring those walls down very quIcKIy With dynamite, and while I have not made up my mind fully to use 1t I aLn aiIe cohisidering the subject If the explo- banked there is not the slightest danger lIl Ill Us use to any one.

 The force of police detailed to keen ven- tturesome people away from the danger line had their hands full yesterday. Blo crowds cIS hung hung around the Market-street walk in front of the Emporium was fined with @ wonderfully patient and cIrious throng, who stood for hours gazing at the runs r9 l as though they momentarily expect ed something to happen to reward them Tor the time put in without pay. If Bald win puts in few charges of dynamite to tumble the already shattered walls to the happen, and that something is likely to prove disastrous to any crowd such as the one referred to. Experts declare that the use of dynamite is always dangerous where, there Is such a great amount of loose. debris lying about and that no mat ter how great the precautions, flying splinters. are always to be feared.
 The chloride of lime strewn over the de- bris by the Health Officers has not done away with the stench, and although Bald win still vehemently declares there are no more dead bodies in the ruins, his dec- laration Is not likely to convince any one especially as he made the same assertion before the body of Judge Carter was talk en out of the place a few days ago
