Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 5.-Fire Quilted
the northwest wing of the state capitol
Monday with an approximate loss of
half a million. The chamber of the
house of representatives is charred
mass of ruined debris and cannot be
fixed up in time for the approaching
session of the legislature. The fire
gained great Roadway before it was
checked, starting about ten o'clock, and
at noon it was thought the entire build
ing was doomed, and Gov. Cummins
ordered the contents of all the Offices
removed. However, it was finally con-
fined to the wing of the capitol in
which it originated and by six o'clock
was practically extinguished.
Legislature VIII Meet.
The executive council of the state.
consisting of Gov. Cummins, Secretary
of State Martin. State Auditor Carroll
and State Treasurer Gilbertson, held a
brief session Monday evening, and an
nounced the converting of the legisla-
ture would not be postponed. 1t will
meet next Monday and arrangements
will be made so that the sessions can
be comfortably held. The plans are not
completed, but the thought is to have

burning debris, made the saving of the

Liebbe was also of the opinion that the
building was doomed.
The valuable volumes of the state IL
brary, located near the fire, were hasti-
ly removed and the state Offices were
hastily emDtied. The funds of the
state treasurer were hastily loaded on
a wagon, supposed to contain books,
and carried to a downtown bank for de-

boots and rough coat, engaged in the
work of fighting the fire. After a con-
ference with the governor, it was de-

Stuart, but when it arrived the fire had
burned itself out in the wing in which
it started, and it's spread had been pre-
vented.

Was Pride of the State.

The beautiful state capitol presents a
scene of desolation. The marble stair

The building was supposed to have

pointed in August 1901, TO inquire into the re-
ration between human and animal tuberculosis

animals by tuberculosis material, whether of
human or bovine origin, was identical, both in

The aldermen yesterday adopted the building
ordinance drawn by ex-Justfce Mayer. at the re-
quest Of The Tribune, and introduced by Alder
man John r. Davies at the instance of The
Tribune and the Republican County Committee.
Briefly, it will give the Superintendent of Build

make impossible disaster like that Of the Dar-
hngton Hotel. When the Darlington Hotel col
lapsed the inspectors of the Buildings Depart
ment said that they had filed the necessary
violations against the building. bu; that The
contractors did not pay any particular atten-
tion 10 them. The new ordinance empowers the
superintendent, without the formality of apply
ing to the court for an order. Immediately. to
stop work on a building when in his Judgment
the conditions warrant such s5oppage. The new
ordinance follows:

ing and 10 require ali persons in and 3hout said
building forthwith to vacate The same and TO cause
such work to be done in about the building as
in. his judgment may be necessary to remove any
danger therefrom. And said Superintendent OF
Buildings may. when necessary for the public
safety temporarily close the sidewalks and streets
adiacent to said building. or part thereof and the
Superintendent OF Buildings TO cooperate shall en-
force such orders or requirements.
Alderman Hamburger, chairman Of the Build
ings Committee. yesterday, in a vigorous speech
in which ne told of the defect in the present
code. moved the passage Of the ordinance. He
said that prudence and common sense demanded
the passage of the ordinance. and that it had
the Endorsement Of Superintendent Hopper and
others in a position to speak with authority.
