NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-Twenty fire.
men were carried, burned and uncon-
scious from boiling soap, FIVE of them
being badly parboiled, from a fire in w.
II. Daggitts Sons soap factory In
West 10th street today. Tanks con-
taining 10000 gallons Of soap fats ex-
ploded after a fire in the three-story
building had been brought under con-
troll. For FIVE hours thereafter firemen
fought this new danger, crawling on
their stomachs on sidewalks outside the
building, unable to stand In a poisonous
flood Of smoke which exhaled from the
fiery soap greases, and continually ex-
posed to little rivers Of the scorching
fluid which flowed from the building.
Water seemed for the first three hours
to have no effect whatever on the burn
ing soap fats, other than to cause them
to flow more freely, with greater peril
to the firemen.
After the watts had taken fire, Acting
Chief Binns was forced to divide his
men into two parties, one to enter the
black smoke cloud with the hose, and
the other to stand waiting out in the
air to rush in and rescue fainting COM
rades whose cries for help came from
the fiery furnace every few minutes.
The black smoke was even more deadly
than the fat grease, and sometimes the
men lying fiat on their faces were
forced to inhale it by the constant back
draughts.
A physician was among the rescue
brigade and by first aid treatment sue
ceeded in removing some of the fire.
men. Several firemen were taken out
unconscious and when restored to their
senses refused to obey orders to go to
the hospital, but ran back to their posts
of duty. For an hour Fred Barry
fought the fire from the cellar with the
scalding grease trickling over him. AS
he fell his strength gave out and he
screamed for help. Chief Howe, in an
other parts of the building, heard him
Barry was found unconscious on the
ground and was removed to the hos
pital.
Fireman O'Neill sustained the most
serious injuries. With the explosion
of the first vat containing 10000 gal
Ions of soap liquor, several members Of
Company IS were so near that the ex-
plosion knocked them down. They
ran out of the building, not knowing
that O'Neill was left behind. He was
quickly missed and searchers found
him lying on stairway in a small
case of soap grease.
Before the fire was under CONTROL
six of the firemen had been carried to
the hospital and many other of the
wounded were barely able to walk.
The loss was estimated atlabout $50, 900.

AUTOMOBILE DASHES
DOWN EMBAN <MENT
San Francisco Quartet All Thrown
Out, but Only One Sustains
Serious Injuries

BY Associated Press.
PACIFIC GROVE, Aug. 11.-A seri-
Gus automobile accident occurred OH
the II mile drive near Carmel Hill this
Afternoon. An auto party consisting of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Bruener. and Mr..
and Mrs. William Cluff of San Fran
cisco were all thrown from their auto
car. Mr.. Cluff's left leg was broken
just above the ankle and he is much
bruised about the body. The balance
of the party escaped with few bruises.
Mrs. Bruener, formerly California
Cluff, was acting as chauffeur and they
were making good time until the sharp
grade of Carmel Hill was reached. On
the descent she applied more energy to
the machine than was needed and the
car at once became unmanageable,
turning quickly to the side of the road
and dashing down the steep embank-
ment of about 80 feet. All were thrown
out and, with the exception of Mr..
Cluff, escaped serious injury.

HARTMAN STARTS ON
TRIP TO The ORIENT
TALKS ON sUNpRY PROPOSED
IMPROVEMENTS
Says Business In the West Is Good and
Growing Steadily Better and Thai
Southern Pacific ls Spending I'M
mense Sums In the Northwest
Rv AaaooIated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. He. II.
Hartman, president Of the Southern
Pacific company. arrived here today on
his trip to the Orient. He was accom-
panied by Julius Kruttschnitt, General
Manager Calvin and other officials Of
the company. The party travelled from
Portland by easy stages.
Mr.. Hartman will sail for Japan on
the Siberia next Tuesday and expects
to devote his trip entirely to rest and
recreation. In an interview he said:
III the people Of California will only
come to their senses the Southern Pa
cifc company may eventually build
bridge across the Carquinez straits
and greatly facilitate traffic business.
At present we are held back in this
proposed undertaking by-what shall 1
call it-well, say notions"
In reference to tunneling the Sierras,
which IL is estimated will cost 45,00O,-
900, Mr.. Hartman said: "of course, It.
is stupendous undertaking, and it is
hard to say when the work will be
taken up. Such piece Of work en-
tails the expenditure of lot of money.
We are now spending immense sums on
improvements in the west, and there is
limit to expenditure. You may, how
ever, state that the tunnels in the Sier-
ras will be bored but when am not
yet ready to say although I hope that
the beginning of the engineering is not
many months ahead"
President Hartman says business In
the west is remarkably good and stead
lily improving, and adds that the busi-
ness of the Southern Pacific is progress
ing with the general condition. Be
fore undertaking the construction of
the tunnel through the Sierras the Har-
riman syndicate will have started
number of extensions Of its lines in
the northwest, where it Is estimated
that about $40. 100000 will be expended.
