fHE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

The Motel was crowded as the racing
season mad opened and horsemen made
The Baldwin their headquarters.
Shortly after the flames broke out two
women were seen az a window OF the
cupoia on the northwest corner OF the
building. Several gentlemen in the street
volunteered 20 go 10 their rooms but il
, Is said were prevented by the police from
doing So Soon after that TWO other
women were seen IN one OF the upper
story windows.
DESCRIPTION OF THE HOTEL
The Baldwin hotel has been known and
dreaded for years by firemen and insCr-
ance people as the worst kind OF nre
trap. II has been stated often that there
were no fire walls IN il except those en-
closing the theatre and that no insurance
company would write a risk on the build
ing except Tor small amount ana Z heavy
premium.
The building OF the hotel began IN 1873
and was finished in 1S.7. its total cost
including ground and furniture. being s.
OD0 90. The building was in the French
Renaissance style. with COrinthian CO..
umns and Mansard roof. SIX stories r sn
and with q principal dome l69 feet ID
height
The hotel occupied the LOT al the gore
formed by the intersection OF Market and
Powell streets. Extending about % feet
on Market. 400 feet on Powell and 800 feet
on Ellis street. In the building was the
Baldwin theater The street floors Of
the immense building were occupied by the
hotel Offices bar room and a number of
stores. In the basement was an els oorate-
~ fitted cafe +. J. Baldwin stated this
morning that he carried 500 oo0 Insurance.
but he could not remember in what coLl-
panies.
FOR YEARS a FIRE TRAP
For years the Baldwin has been regard
ed by the department as the most dan
gerous fire trap in san Francisco. Built
OF wood, six stories high. with narrow
and tortuous Railways. it is a wonder that
half OF the people in the Motel this MORN
ing escaped. They were slow TO awaken.
Many We're dazed and stupefied by smoke
when the police. the firemen and hotel
employees. hurry.ng through the Railways.
kicked open doors and notified the people
OF their great danger. When they man
aged 10 reach the windows and fire es-
capes there were no ladders. Many at
tempted TO jump from the windows 10 the
streets, but were warned not to do so by
the crowds below Then the fremen got
up their ladders and commenced taking
people TO the ground, reseuing many IN
this manner.
ONE LESS MISSING.
