THE GLADES SCORCHED
Blaze Discovered In Its IncipienCy
and ExtinguiShed With
Little Damage.
THE CHEMICAL ENGINE FAILED TO WORK
And "a Bucket Brigade Fought the Flames.
1t Is Claimed That the Engine Was Not
Charged, Which Accounts For Its Nom
Performance.

a recurrence of the big blaze which
visited Oakland four or five years ago
when property to the value of thirty
thousand dollars was consumed, was
narrowly averted Friday when the
historic GIades Hotel built by the
late John Daily, and now owned by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company was discovered to be on
fire. The flames originated from a
defective lue which emitted sparks
and set the weather boarding on fire
back of the chimney The fire was
gaining Roadway steadily when Pro
prietOr Boldly noticed smoke and
gave the alarm. The chemical en-
CINE was soon on the scene but after
running the hose up through a win
dow in the second story of the build
ing it was found that the engine
would not perform, it either not be
ing charged or the chemicals having
lost all virtue by long standing and
non-use Upon making this discovery
bucket brigade was hastily formed
and water passed into the room where
the fire was confined. After chopping
away considerable of the plastering
and tearing up Il portion of the floor
so that the fire could be gotten at it
was soon extinguished entailing a
loss of about 5000 TO the building and
contents.
At the time the wind was blowing
at a lively rate and the mercury hover
ing around the zero mark which
handicapped to a great extent the
efforts of those engaged in fighting
the fire.
Had the fire occurred during the
night there is no telling where it
would have stopped especially with
the fireman contending against the
combination of circumstances which
confronted thern-the high wind, ex-
cessiye cold and the nou-performauee
of he chemical puUipp

publican voters were willing that Gu
ba should be given proper and rea-
sonible concessions, and there seems
to be no good cause now for failing
to ratify the treaty. OF course, for
purely local considerations, some
Senators and Representatives were
somewhat stubborn on the matter,
but the beet sugar people appear to
realize that the trend of public senti-
ment is against them ard will likely
give up the fight
1t is possible that the labor people
are making a mistake in opposing
the transfer of the bureau of labor to
the proposed new Department OF
Commerce and demanding in its stead
that Department of Labor be Great
ed. Congress has always been slow
to create new cabinet departments,
as shown by the fact that since the
establishment of the Fedora cove; n
ment in 1889 but three have been vd-
ded-the Navy department in 11)8.
Interior department in 1916 and the
Department of Agriculture in 1S"1.
The bureau of labor under the man
agement of Carroll ID. Wright, who
has held the position since its crca-
ton and under all administrators
regardless of politics, is doing good
work, and there is no reason to .se-
lieve that the establishment Of De-
partment OF Labor at this time would
be Of any real benefit 10 the laboring
interests Of the country.
Congress appears TO be "a obdurate
iii the matter of retiring Captain
Richmond P HObsOn, the hero of the
Merrimac in the Santiago campaign,
as was the retiring board Of the Navy
department. Alleging that his sight
is impaired, Capt. Hobson seeks to be
retired, but it is said that the real
cause of his desire to leave the service
is that he wants to get into Demo
cratic politics in Alabama and come
to Congress as the successor of Repre-
sentative Bankhead, of the Sixth dis
trict, who is serving his eighth term
and has been reelected to the next
House. The naval board before
which Capt. Hobson was ordered for
examination turned down his request
and the matter was taken to Congress
n bill having been introduced in the
House to retire him. To-day the
Committee on Naval Affairs refused
TO favorably report the bill, the vote
in the bcommittee standing ) to t.
Four Republicans voted in favor OF
retiring him and three Democrats and
two Republicans against it. The
Democrats generally are not in sym
pathy with Capt. Hobson's political
aspirations.

Butter Made In Baltimore From MIX Pro-
duced in Garrett County.

The Baltimore Sun of Friday con
tanned the following, relative to a
we'll known lady who resides in the
vicinity of Deer Park:
Mrs. q. w. Haulenbeek, whose Balti-
more home is at 34S Girard ave. has IA
farm ot.50 acres in Garrett county. AL
though she has been an invalid for a
number of years, using crutches for a
long time, Mrs. Haulenbeek has had
full management of the farm and has
raised fine herd of Jersey cattle.
During the summer the babies at the
Deer Park Hotel and cottages thrive
on the milk from her Jerseys. In h er
visit to Baltimore for the HOLIDAYS.
Mrs. Haulenbeek conceived the idea
of having a three-gallon can of milk
shipped from the farm to her Balti
more residence in order to make but
ter for consumption while in the city.
This is done two or three times each
week, the expressman bringing the
can to the house, and from the cream
thus obtained the supply of butter is
made.

A THRILLING (?) EXPERIENCE.
The Cumberland Papers Made IA Good Story
Out of an Ordinary Circumstance.

The Cumberland Papers Made "A Good Story
Out of AN Ordinary Circumstance.
Jerry Browning, of Oakland, and
r oyer Simmons, of Baltimore, drove
down ito Friendsville one day last
week and were returning to Oakland
Thursday night when they were over
taken by "a snow storm. Some por-
ton of their sleigh got out of fix and
to secure a Ratchet with which TO re-
pair it, leaving Mr.. Simmons in the
sleigh. After making the necessary
repairs it was found that the horse
could not get through the snow and
both gentlemen returned to the farm
house and from thence came on to
Oakland without mishap. But this
is the manner some enterprising re-
porter in Cumberland wrote the story
for his paper:
Roger Simmons, West Lafayette
avenue, Baltimore, SOD of DR.. 7. w.
Simmons, of Hagerstowu, Md, and
J. Browning, nephew of George D.
Browning, of Garrett county, had
most thrilling experience in the biz
zard in the mountains between Grants
vile and Oakland Thursday mid
night The snow WAS then two feet
deep, the flakes were still falling and
the wind was bowling wildly, piling
the snow into high drifts at every
crook and turn.
Mr.. Simmons is an inspector of
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New y ork and Mr.. Browning is a
solicitor for the company. They had
been to a lumber camp on business in
cutter. drawn by two horses and on
their return to Oakland were over
taken by darkness. 1t was almost
impossible for the horses TO walk in
the deep snow and 10 add to their
discontinue they found they had
wandered off the right road
AT last the horses in their strug-
gle to get through the snow, deep and
binding, broke the cross bar of the
cutter and the two men found them
selves helpless as point which gave
no sign of habitation. The tempera-
ture was several degrees below zero
and Mr.. Browning was rapidly being
overcome by the intense cold.
Mr.. Simmons laid his charge in
the snow and dismayed started to find
a house. He first struck u fence
which led him to hope for early relief
and his hopes were heightened when
he came across an apple tree He
knew a house must be nearby and
calling for several minutes he saw a
light appear, by which he was able to
reach a cabin, IA mile from where MIR
Browning lay. Here he found a man
and together they went to Mr.. Brown
ing's rescue finding him half covered
with snow and more dead than alive
"They succeeded in dragging him
to the cabin and after several hours
work succeeded in restoring conscious
ness. The horses, too which had suf-
fered greatly, we're gotten to the cab
i'll with difficulty. The covering of
snow doubtless saved Mr.. Browning
from freezing. Mr.. Simmons went TO
his fathers home at Hagerstown yes
