Exciting Escapes.


Several narrow escapes occurred at the
Grand Central Hotel. One cripple, not
able to walk for years, got out of his
room and slid down post to safety.

1eaped from the third story OF the
building.
From the Grand Central Hotel the ire
leaped across ChappeH street. attacked
s. A. Sanmon's residence. the Plateau
Hotsi, the Methodist church. and was
then carried by the wind up Wisfsita
avenue. eating up the Williams hard
ware store, the Tennessee stables. and
Valley stables. Every house on Market
street between Central avenue and Pros
pect avenue from Whiting street on the
south 10 Border street was destroyed.
From Central avenue east every house IS
gone.
The county Jail and court houses Were
burned. with all the records. Nothing
remains of tie Orange cottage and Ras
house. on Valley street.
Beginning with the Columbia Hotel.
the fire swept Oak street almost clean to
Grard avenue, the wind carrying the
flames across Grand avenue to Sheriff
Williams house.
The prisoners in the county jail were
handcuffed together and removed to the
city 3ail by the sheriff and deputies be-
fore the court house was fgnfted. Not
one block in the path of the fire was
spared. This is bounded bv Central ave-
nue. on the east, Market street on the
north, and Olive street on the south.
The fire department was handicapped
from the beginning By an insuffieiency
of hose and lack of water supply. The
water was exhausted before the first
two hours, while hundreds of feet OF
hose were burned in the street.
Mayor Be1ding has issued an urgent
request 10 all citizens to throw open
their homes to the destitute and striek-
en- people. His request, printed in the
form of handhiIls, was distributed
| broadcast this afternoon. The grand
stand at Oaklawn Park has been turned
over TO the homeless until better shell
ter can be provided for them There
was no racing today.
The fire started about 4 o'clock It
was 50 O'Clock before it had burned out
The spectacle was one ever to be re-
| rnembered 1t spread from building TO
building with rapidity, and at times
the flames shot forth from the buildings
in the several blocks, making one vast
blaze a mile or more long.

Is the District Corporation Counsel or
any other District official guilty of con-
tempt of court when he attempts to
prosecute q member of the District
Court of Appeals for violation of the
snow law while test case under this
law is pending in that court?
This lis the question which is agitating
the minds of certain District officials and
the District police as the result of the
determined stand taken by Martin +.
Morris, one of the justices of the Court
of Appeals, in q letter said to have been
written by him to Corporation Counsel
A B. DuvalI.
Judge Morris Declines.
Justice Morris was faced with a charge
of having failed to remove the snow
from the sidewalk adjoining property
owned by him on Florida avenue east OF
LeDroit Park near St. Patrick's Gene
terry, The charge was preferred over a
telephone by Officer Yetton. Of the Tenth
precinct, and Justice Morris. in en-
phatic language, announced over the
wire that he would neither deposit 81
collateral for appearance in Police Court
nor would he appear there on the day
following This took place on Thursday
The following day the officer reported
The case was postponed until Saturday
Yesterday morning Justice Morris did
| not appear in Police Court when his
case was called. The Quandary of the
police officers was explained to the court
officials and no one seemed anxious TO
| go to Justice Morris house or to the
court room in which Justice Morris was
holding court and compel him to MAXI
| an appearance in Police Court.
Yesterday afternoon Major Sylvester
| reported the difficulty to the District
Commissioners Soon afterward Cor
| poration Counsel Duvan reported to
| Commissioner Macfariand. Neither gen

euce was about, but it is understood

conversation.
Liable for Contempt.
| The possibility of having placed them

been suggested to the officials by a letter

Ouaehita avenue to Oaklawn. The fire
originated from an unknown cause in
the Grand Central Hotel. Central avenue
and Chappell street. Smoke was pouring
from every room of the building when
the fire department arrived, but no sign
of fame was III evidence.
The suffocating smoke prevented fire
men from entering the building. Sudden
ly flames shot skyward. were caught by
a northern wind, carried across Chap

Pain in the
Head

Is a danger signal, warning
you that the brain nerves are
exhausted-irritated, and are
undergoing an unnatural strain.
Frequent and prolonged at
tacks of pain weaken the gen.
erative power of the nerve
cells of the brain, and lead to
loss of memory, melancholy,
spasms, epilepsy, and frequent
ly insanity.
When the brain nerves are
weakened they are unable to
supply sufficient nerve force
to the nerves that control the
lungs, heart, stomach and
other organs, and these organs
are thus robbed of energy, and
unable to meet the demands
upon them,and they get sick.
Stop the head pains with DR..

influence upon your general
health will be greater than you
can realize.

Your blood is always full of poison

they, in turn, will eliminate.
