Since o'clock last night the fire
department, aided by engines from
Washington, Philadelphia, Whining
ton and surrounding towns has been
unable to check the flames. Indeed
so fierce was the heat and so dense
the smoke that it was difficult for the
firemen to get within fighting dis
lance.
At o'clock the situation was so
desperate that Chief Horton decided
to dynamite the buildings at threat
ening points so as to prevent as far
as possible the spread of the flames
Consequently a number of buildings
on South Charles street between Cor
mon and Lombard were blown up.
Later it was found necessary to
destroy the splendid structure of j.

The financial district, including the
banking and brokerage firms in South

financiers were kept busy rescuing
valuable documents from their Of

trict in which Oak Point is situated,
thinking perhaps little George might
have been taken in by some family,
but in vain.
One day in September Bandelow's
sister-in-law met a woman who told
her that about six weeks previously,
while she was in a restaurant in Ca
narsie, N. Y, she had noticed a we'll
dressed, elderly woman, who had with
her little boy. The elderly woman,
in the course of conversation, said
that she had found the little boy wan
dering in the streets on the day of
the Slocum disaster She had asked
him his name, but he was unable to
tell it, and she had taken him to her
home, believing his parents had been
lost in the horror.
Mrs. Ryan, the woman who
brought the information to Bande-
lows sister-in-law, had not heard
of Bandelow when she met the elder
ly woman. Learning of the case later,
she FASTENED to tell what she knew.
She said the little boy answered per-
fectly the description of little George

derby woman had told her she was
well able to take care of the boy, as
she owned property in Liberty and
Wynona streets, East New York.
Bandelow has hunted through every
part of the district named for such a
property owner, but can find no trace
of her. But he has found that on one
or two occasions since the fire a
woman with a little golden-haired
boy has been seen in the neighbor-
hood. And still Bandelow's search
goes on.
This is the conclusion Of the faith
ers pitiful appeal, in the circular
which he has sent broadcast:
Il know that my boy has not been
buried with the unidentified dead,
for l have seen all bodies buried as
unidentified whether drowned or
burned.
THE following is a description of
the missing boy: Three years and

WITNESS
IS DYING

An effort is being made to complete
arrangements which will liberate J.
c. Mcmillan, who is confined in the
hospital ward in the county Jail, suf-
fering from an epileptic attack which
promises to be prolonged.
Mcmillan is being held as witness
in the Hammond-Bell gambling cases,
no charge or information being filed
against him. His bond was raised
from $3.50 to $1,000, the same as for
Hammond and Bell, who committed
the crime.
Mcmillan, unless released, will not
live long. His condition is serious
and needs immediate attention. Con-
lecture, bolstered through schemes
of times gone by, would indicate that
the gambling case will never be heard
and will go by default.
