One or two of the Chinamen were found in a fearfully mutilated condition and their remains were placed in rudely constructed cof- fins and turned over to the Coroner.

The larger of the men caught him around the neck while the other struck him with some blunt im- plement. The sailor called for help, but just as he did so a Harrison street car came in sight and the footpads,, fearing capture, fled in the darkness. The in- tured man was taken to the Receiving Hospital and his wounds, which consisted of several severe cuts and abrasions about the head, were dressed by Doctors Hill and Zabala.

TO GUARD LIFE AND PROPERTY
Real Estate Owners. Association Dis cusses Facilities for Protection
 From Fire

Improved facilities for the protection of life and property from fire was the sub- feet of discussion before the Real Estate Owners Association last evening. The meeting was one of the results of the Baldwin fire and E. J. Baldwin was pres ent to answer the questions of the mem bers.
 MT. Baldwin stated that by reason of his recent experience he was convinced that this city is far from being adequately pro- tected against great conflagrations. He thought there should be from four to six additional water towers and expressed the belief that if these flooding machines had been available at the Baldwin fire the greater portion of the building would have been saved.
 In the course of these criticisms of the Fire Department he asserted that during the fire only one stream was played upon the Market-street side of the hotel and that little benefit was derived therefrom
 The attention of MT. Baldwin was call ed to the fact that there was a marked scarcity of water after the department had settled down to hard work and that additional water towers would have been of no particular value. He acknowledged the truth of the proposition and that inc mains of the Spring Valley Water Com pany, even in the most important portions of the city, were inadequate to supply water to properly fight a big fire
 The meeting indorsed his conclusion and there was a general discussion of the best means to obtain the desired results As preliminary step a committee, con sisting or (. ;. Young, Dr. C. S. Mann and J. H. speck. was appointed to com municate with the proper authorities in large Eastern and foreign cities for inc purpose of learning the most aDproved methods employed for the protection of life and property.
 An important meeting of the association will be held next Tuesday night at which the conduct of the Fire Department and Board of Education will be investigated,
