GREAT DAMAGE DONE
BY FIRE At VATICAN
Pope Plus Directs Firemen
in Distinguishing the
Blaze

Rome, Nov. 2.---Fire broke cut IN
that portion of the Vatican containing
the hall OF inscriptions, where the
pope gives his audiences and which Is
adjacent to the famous Pinacoteca, OF
gallery of pictures. Strenuous efforts
were made to control the flames, and
the flromcn of Rome were called &C.
lend their help. No lives were lost Nc
idea of the damage can yet be o5
tanned. The pope came to the scene
In person and remained until the ar
engagements TO fight the FIRE were CON
Rieted
The fire caused a greater sensatior
In Rome than has any other even
since the death of Pope Leo. The safet
of the pope was the first thought IL
every ones mind, but this was 500
assured. when the ponun arrived
the scene he ordered every one to
sist in evtinguishing the flames.
Tho first intimation Of Are was he
when smoke was seen issuing from q
apartment Of NJ. Marie. which is !,
Gated above that of Father Ehrle. tn,
librarian. who lives over the librar
itself. It is supposed that he retire
an5 forgot 70 take proper precaution
with his Kitchen IRE. which probabl,
blazed up and ignited some nearby
hangings
The entire museum OF inscriptions,
the rooms OF Father Ehrle, part Of the
library and tho printing houses were
entirely flooded with water It is i'm
possible 10 reach even an approximate
idea Of the extent OF the damage. Many
articles were saved. Including some ar.
cient and very valuable ormN which
we're recently moved to the library
from the Borgia apartment In order
70 make room for the new residence
Of the papal secretary Of state. Many
things that escaped the flames were
Injured by water, especially the pre-.
cious private library OF Pope Lee,
which Father EhIle had been rear.

wish OF the late pontin.
