healthy, and DR.. Fischel thinks she VIII

The flames then were principally in
the east wing of the structure which
is faced on the open court side with
corrugated iron. The fire commenced
eating through to the roof and it was
only by hazardous work on the part of
the firemen that the flames were fought
back from the main part of the hotel.
The smoke was SO dense that persons
working on the top floor were driven
below. BY working directly over the
fire the firemen were able to pour
three streams onto the hottest part of
the blaze and after an hours nard
work Chief Metz announced that the
fire was under control. Manager Cat

HOTEL DACRES DAMAGED
FIRE LOSS NEARLY $1,000
Blaze Started in Open Court in Rear Of Building Fremen
Met With Many Obstacles in Fighting Blaze Much
Damage 70 Furniture and Furnishings

fierce fire supposed to have started
near an electric fan in an open court
located over the kitchen, damaged the
Hotel Dacres this afternoon in an
amount estimated between $4,000 and
$1,000. The damage to the building
will probably foot up $4,000 and furni-
ture and furnishings were damaged
fully $4,000
The blaze was first discovered by
pedestrians passing along Fourth
street. They rushed into the hotel AMI
told the day clerk, Leo Kosminsky,
that the building was on fire. An
alarm was turned in by Mr.. Kosminsky
who Immediately afterward went
through the different floors notifying
guests. Unfortunately the steamer
from station No. 1 was called to
Fourth and Maple streets by a fire a
few minutes before and it was several
minutes before the apparatus could
be hauled to the hotel. Several of the
firemen from the central station were
off for lunch leaving the force short
handed. Officer Mike Davis drove the
chemical to the fire and the steamer
set at the corner of Fourth and Alder
street. By this time the fire was blaz-
ing fiercely in rooms 81 and SO located
Immediately next an open court.
Fire Burned FierceIy.
The open court formed a natural
chimney and the flames were drawn
into sample room across the space
before the firemen could get water
turned on. An effort was made to ex-
tinguish the blaze with the chemical
but without effect. When it was seen
that the building was likely to be gut
ted willing workers crowded the differ
ent floors and commenced removing
furniture and furnishings. The smoke
was so dense that several times men
were almost overcome.
Furniture Dsynaged.
In the rush much furniture and fur
nishings were damaged by over-zeal-
Gus workers. 1t was impossible to re-
move the expensive carpets and in the
east end of the building these were
badly damaged by water which COM
menced to flood the building. Huge

starvation periods that has continued
for decades, and will continue until
the present system of land tenure in
Ireland is made to conform to a more
equable economic basis. The rich
landlords demand from the farmers
a yearly rental of from $3.50 to 81 an
acre for rough, rocky ground that is
hardly worth more than so cents an
acre. They require 20 to 80 years
rent for the purchase Of the land,
which is not worth more than a few
years purchase. The landlords have
the upper hand and they are using 1t
as a giant might exert his strength
against a pigmy. The pasturage of
horses on good lands, the keep of
cattle in good condition, are of far
more importance to them than, I
shall not say the welfare, but even
the right to live, of Christian men
and women.
AS long as the feeding of brute
animals is given the preference over
the feeding of human beings, there
will be famine in Ireland. The un-
propitious soil on which the farmers
are forced to raise their crops is be-
coming less productive each year. and
the poverty of the tenants is grow
ing constantly greater. With the
finest agricultural land in the world
on all sides of them, the Irishmen
are compelled to SOW their seeds on
rocky ground, so that place may be
made for soulless beasts.
