building. so far as its fireproofing is con-
cerned, is in any way behind that of any
So-called modern fireproof buildings, con-
structed either by the government or by
private individuals.
The cause of this fire has not been cor
rectly stated In any of the newspaper re-
ports. On the top floor. in the northwest
corner of the building. was located a pho
tographic gallery. which was used by the
government for making photographs for IL
luStrated publica tions. For several months
past this gallery has been used night and
day. two shifts of men being required to
work in order to keep up with the great
mass of work that has been on hand. At
least two large arc lamps have been used
constantly for the purpose of making pho
tographS. These lamps are similar In style
to those used on the public streets and are
not covered in any way to prevent the
emission of sparks. The accepted theory of
the fire is that either of the carbons
became loose while at white heat and fell
to the floor, sparks were emitted from
the carbons. thus causing confagration.
The room in which the lights were located
was filled with all such kind of material as
are found in photograph establishments
and immediate combustion took place. On
a tour of inspection not more than five days
before the fire. l notified the parties In
charge of the Photographic matter that if
things were not changed there would surely
be a fire.
1t seems hardly possible in any building
where such a fire had been started that
little damage could have been done. Had
the building been anything other than
fireprOof building, the entire structure
ground. and the reason the government es-
capped with so little loss to it's valuable
papers Is the fact of the strength and Sc
curity of the building. c. c. WILLARD.

three games from Princeton and went into

The interest yesterday centered in the
struggle between Harvard and Yale. The
decision of the referee made the game left

Barshell (Columbia)~ and Palmer (Yale) a

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Five Favorites Beaten and the "Book-
les" Got the Money.

After many days of weary waiting the
bookmakers at the New Orleans track yes
terday finally secured break" with the
racegoers. Ever since the meeting began
there on Thanksgiving day they have had
a hard road to hoe with the turfmen and
scarcely day passed without a big finan-
cial loss. There was a decided change in
their fortunes yesterday, when five heavily
backed favorites were beaten The only
favorite to score was Big Ben. and as the
odds against him were practically prohib-
itive his success was of very little advan-
tage except to the heavy plungers.
Big Ben added to his long list of victories
by winning the handicap at six furlongs
cleverly from Parlsienne. The latter was
ridden by Fuller, who tried to defeat the
favorite by cutting him off soon after the
barrier was released The Interference
caused Robbins to pull up the favorite
sharply in order to keep HIM ON his feet.
but the big gelding caught his stride quick
ly, and in a quarter of mile rushed up to
Parisienne and raced with her to the end.
In the last few strides the Haggn cast-ofr
quit badly, and this enabled Big Ben to 60
on and win easily by the margin Of saddle
girths. ~
The handicap at five furlongs among the
two-year-olds resulted in stirring finish
