FIREMEN COMMENDED.
Display of Judgment at Recent Fires
Commented Upon.

Much commentator has been expressed
for the able manner in which the District
fire department handled the confagration
at 1341-43 street northwest on the morn
ing of November 8, and another piece of
testimony to the same end was contained In
a letter received by Commissioner Macfar
land today from Paul F. Grove, of the
Commercial Fire Insurance Company of the
District of Co umbia. Mr.. Grove spoke of
the judgment displayed by the iremen in
the discharge of their duties, in that the
water damage had been kept within the
smallest possible limit. and he expressed
his approval of the plan which contem-
plates giving the firemen more time off duty
to spend with their families.
Another letter to the same general effect
came in the Commissioners mail today
from Percy Foster. manager of the San
ders & Stayman's music store on F street.

FIRE ON THE HANKOW.
Finding Of the Hongkong Court Of
Inquiry.

HONGKONG, November 6.-The finding
of the marine court of inquiry into the fire
on board the British steamship Hankow,
which was burned alongside her wharf on
October IA last, absolves the master, Capt.
Branch and the ships officers from any
blame in the matter. They it is said, did
all in their power to save life and property,
but were unsuccessful, owing to the rapid
ity with which the fire spread and the
fierceness of the flames.
The court was of the opinion, however.
that all light texture cargo should be stow
ed beneath matches or screened off in such
a manner that it would be impossible for
passengers to have any access to it.
