sucHrEL IN RUINS.
Continued from first page.

No one WAS caught in the act, but 1t
is said an investigation will follow.
Campus Ruined.
Water streaming over the campus,
and crowds tramping to and fro,
converted portions of the beautiful
grounds into veritable mud holes.
No Accidents.
Not q single accident occurred.
The nearest approach to injury by
fire was when Edison M. Robinson
crushed in the doors of the Delta
Gamma fraternity hall and rescued
the charter. The room was filed
with smoke and flame, and Mr.. Rob-
inson was slightly burned about the
face. His rescue Of the charter
made him the hero of the occasion
among the girls Of that fraternity,
who say that were it not for Mr..
Robinson's risky act the charter
would undoubtedly have been lost.
Marrow Escape.
Captain John b. Denious Of Fire
department No. /, and Flremen VIM.
Woehler, John Dietz, Horatio WASH
er and Frank A. Nighswander had q
narrow escape at the southwestern
part of the building. They were up
near the top when fire broke out
beneath them, and 1t was with con-
siderable difficulty that they es-
capped.
Equipment Inadequate.
While the firemen did all that
could be done, and worked with q
vigor and persistency, the equipment
was inadequate. Had an aerial
truck been provided, the firemen say
the building would not have been
burned.
Might Have Been Controlled.
Janitor Loomis, of the College,
was on the ground shortly after the
discovery of the fire. To a Demo-
oRAT reporter he said: "The fire
was burning just east of the chapel
when the department. arrived. 1 en-
deavored to have the men take line
of hose up to the chapel and COM
mence playing on the FIRE from with
in, but this they refused to do. Had
they acted upon my suggestion 1 be-
lieve the flames might have been
controlled"
Loss Keenly Felt.
The loss of the splendid College
building is keenly felt, not only by
those directly interested, but by
every citizen Of Akron. 1t is a
