The plant OF the Gilsonite Roofing and

totally destroyed by fire at o'clock this
morning. entailing less of about $4,000.

but two floors and was well stocked with
asphalt and other infammable material at
the time the fire started. Hundreds of citi-

There were no buildings adjacent to the
Giisonite plant, and the danger of the fire
spreading was lessened.

AZ the result Of suggestion from Pierre
Chouteau. an organization Of ex-odicers OF
tho First Regiment. N. q. M probably
will be brought about. Al many Of st.
lIouis's most prominent citizens have
served as officers in this body. such an or
ganization would have an interesting ros-
ter.
The idea originated In a conversation be-
tween Mr.. Chouteau and ]. G. Butler. for
merly Of the Butler Tobacco Company. who
10 now a director OF the Mercantile Trust
Company. Mr.. Chouteau was Captain un-
der Mr.. Butler when the latter commanded
the st. Louis Police Reserves in the strike
days Of 1877. and 1t is the general opinion
that the First Regiment grew out Of the
Police Reserves. Tho old days were dis
cnsssd between Mr.. Chouteau and Nr But
lsr. and finally the latter suggested that
the past could not be better commsmorated
than by enecting an organization of all the
men who have differed the local citizen

Colonsl Butler thought the t6sa q good
one and communicated II TO Colonel G. A.
Sinclair, who now commands the First
Regiment. The latter was much interested
in the project and undertook to supply
This is now being prepared by Ad5utant
Boswell OF the regiment. When Mr.. Butler
returns to this city in the fall he Will call
Q meeting Of all concerned. At this meet
ing the plan OF organization will be un-
folded and II is doubted not that 1t will re-
ceive hearty approval.
Origin Of Regiment Seems in Doubt.
The history Of the First Regiment, which
so many eminent 81. Louisans have helped
to make. has had many twists and turns.
The very origin OF the regiment seems in
doubt. 1t is claimed by some that the regi-
ment first came into existence in 1852. But
the organization formed at this time con-
sisted Of only 200 men and was known as
the st. Louis National Guards Association
This body ceased to exist at the time Of tbs
Civil War. The latter struggle divided its
rank and file. and no sort of militia again
existed in st. Louis until 1911 Between
that date and 1877 several separate COM
panies were formed. but these in no sense
could be called a regiment.
The exigencies of the strike called for.

were welded into the Police Reserves. Of
