FiREPROOF DRYING ROOMS.
RecOmme endatiOns That Larudries r.,
Equipped With Them


Robert W. Dutton, chief engineer of the
fire department, has forwarded to the Dis
trict Commissioners the report Of William
0. Drew, the fire marshal, on the fire In
Tolman's steam laundry May 15 in which
he recommends that the drying rooms Of
all laundries be constructed Of steel or
in some similar fire-proof manner. In ap-
proving the recommendation of the fire
marshal and forwarding 1t to the Com
missoners Mr. Dutton states that while 1t
does not appear from the report that the
fire in this instance originated in the dry
ing room yet the fact that this room was
of frame construction would seem to indi-
cate a condition which should be called to
the attention of the inspector of buildings
and he so recommends.
The fire marshal made the investigation
of the fire in compliance with instructions
found alongside the drying room. which
was of frame construction. an alleyway or
closet, in which the fire started. Several
large machines are located on the floor
1t is his opinion that the waste or rags
with which the machinery was cleaned
were thrown into this closet and brought
about spontaneous combustion. This Is
also the opinion of Mr.. Nichols. the book
keeper Of the laundry. Mr.. Drew makes
the recommendation that the drying rooms
of laundries be constructed Of steel or in
some other fire-proof manner.

The Pearl HarbOr Naval Station.

What is known as the Pearl Harbor naval
board. with Admiral Barker presiding, has
reassembled here to determine on plans for
the establishment of a naval station in this
harbor Of the Hawaiian Islands. The plans
have been pretty fully matured and Con-
gress has made an appropriation of $3.50. 900.
But a recent report to the Navy Depart
ment states that some Of the land desired
has been planted with sugar cane, and the
reconvening Of the board is for the purpose
Of considering new sites. There is no doubt
from the high figures at which the land is
held that the government will have to re-
sort to condemnation proceedings to secure
the station desired.

Thirty Tons Of Nitroglycsrin Used in fits
Destruction.
San Francisco, Aug. I6.-Arch rock,
one of the greatest distractions to safe
navigation in San Francisco bay, has
been destroyed, over 80 tons of nitro
glycerin being employed to remove the
the rock which lay about midway be-
tween Alcatraz island and Lime Point
The rock was several acres in extent and
all but its summit was under water.
The explosion was set off by electricity
and so great was the conclusion that
rock and debris were scattered over a
great area and column of water and
stone 1000 feet in height arose from the
bay. The force of the explosion was
terrific and could be felt all over the
city. Large quantities of fish were de-
stroyed.
