SOAP FACTORY BURNED.


Fire which completely destroyed the
soap and TALON factory of Jewell & Nor
ton. ard resulted in a loss estimated at
nearly $4,000, broke out shortly before
oclocl. this morning. The factory located
on Buzzard's Point, near the corner of
First and W Streets southwest. and large
quantity OF grease ard other materials
used for soapmaking burned for more than
two hours. An alarm sounded frOm box 426
by Policeman Bassford brought two COM
paIies OF the FIRE department to the s,ene,
but not before great headway had been
gained by the flames
The factory with several adjoining
buildings used for auxiliary purposes, is
located at the extreme Of the point known
as the Island. In Southwest Washing
ton. All the buildings were frame and
burned with great rapdity. 1t was i2:i0
O'Clock when an alarm was sounded by the
police Within five minutes after that
time the flames, which seem to have orig
mated in the boiler room of the main
building. had spread to other structures.
When the first engine reached the scene
delay was Occasioned by the lack of ade-
quate water facilities. 1t was found nee
| essary to use the water of the river near
by and in placing the engine in position
near the steep bank the vehicle was near
ly precipitated into the river. Within
! few minutes an additional engine was on
the scene and truck a also responded to
the alarm.
/ The fire was at its height when at
| tackled by the department. 4 brilliant
glare was plainly visible throughout the
city. 1t was with difficulty that head
way was made against the flames. The
grease in the structures added fuel TO
the flames, and sent up a dense smoke,
which impeded the work of the firemen.
How the fire originated is not known.
Employees had been at work in the main
building until about midnight. William
Norton the watChman, stated that the
fire broke out in the boiler room of the
building. He was unaware of the@ blaze
until it had gained considerable headway.
He then ran out of the building and in
formed the police. who turned in an
alarm.
Jewell & Norton under the name Of the
Norton Manufacturing Company, have oc-
cupied the present site for many years.
Some years ago additions were made to the
plant and soap. tallow, and other products
were made in large quantities The loss
is only partially covered by insurance. Mr..
Norton was present during the coniiagra-
tion.

Mrs. Dewey Did Not Urgc the Admiral

Il was learned from absolutely reliable au-
thority that Mrs Dewey had nothing whatever
10 do with the determination Of the admiral TO

titiaan said that Mrs. Dew"s had even cvSrted
her influence agarst the Admiral entering politics
at all ard that the story connecting cy Secretary
of tie Navy Whitney with Admira Dewcy's can-
Gidacy was absolutely wrong, n wss said that
the Admiral acted upon his o~n Judgment, Of
