BIG CHICAGO FIRE
HOTEL FLORENCE BURNS TO THE
 GROUND.
The BIsse, wss Framed by a Ferty Mile Gale and Score of 0th-
 CT Structures Were Endangered.

Chicago, Jan. 2T.--Fanned by forty mfla gale a fire which broke out in the Hotel Florence, i6S Adams Street,
 early today, scattered burning embern
 about the southern portion of the Loop
 District. endanKering score of strue- lures and causing a loss estimated at $300.000. Twenty guests of the hotel, which was four-story structure. were aroused from their beds by police and nremen. All of the inmates are be- lieved to have escaped.
 Adjoining the burning structure on the east Is the partially completed six teen story building of the Corn Ex- scraper was given a severe test but with the exception of some temporary woodwork resisted the flames success fully. Two members of the hre de- partment were struck by board which fell from burning scaffold from the
 bank building. One of them. Edward Wakefield. truck man. was knocked unconscious. The other, Herbert Scan
 lon, pipe. man. escaped with siight bruises.
 The wind drove the danes directly
 against the bank structure which form
 ed a complete barrier to the spread of
 the ire but at the same time acting aa sparks ana anabsra hundreds of fact inc
 to, the air, during the height of the confiagration, q naming cascade of
 sparks poured upon the Rookery build l ing at La Sale and Adams Street and
 upon the Board of Trade, Grand Pa cihc Hotel. illinois Trust and savings Bank, Western Union, Home Insurance and other big structures. Some of these buildings were erected so long ago that their hre.proof qualities are a matter of doubt and attachments of firemen were sent out to keep watch upon them. Some of the gueetB in the Grand Pacific Hotel were awakened by the noise of the fire engines and the glare of tho flames, but whatever fear they may have entertained. were al- layed by employees of the house.
 The fire started in the rear of the second story of the hotel Florence. Be- fore it was discovered 1t had gained considerable headway and shortly af- ter the flremen arrived the second and third floors and portion of thekFear wall fell. A six-story building adjoin- ing the hotel on the west caught fire and was partly gutted. It was occu- pied by a~printing and two tailoring concerns, most of which suffered heavy damage. In three of the printing of- fices night shifts of employees were at work and these men were driven to the street SO hurriedly that many were forced to face the blizzard clad in the sleeveless garments of the stereotyp- ing room. Many of the guests of the hotel were also scantiIy clad when they reached the street. The refugees were cared for by the police.
 Despite the threatening nature of the fire hard work by the fremen confined it to the two structures. The fight called for the complete fire department forces ofthe down town and wholesale district and the men swarmed upon the roofs and fire escapes of an adjoining structure pouring tons of water upon the flames from their vantage points. Two hours after the first alarm had sounded the flames were under control.

 Baltimore, Jan. 27.--Fire which started in huge oil tank of the Stand ard oil Company st Canton, Baltimore County, today communicated to two others and seriously menaced the great plant.
 Up to 2 p. m. the fremen were able to confine the flames to the three tanks in question, but a high wind led to fears that the remaining three tanks of tho group of six at that point would ignite. Much of the oil in the tanks was drawn of, somewhat minimizing the loss, which up to this time fs es- timated to be 3f50.000, Michael Ken nedy, a yard superintendent of the oil company, was seriously injured.
 Later report stated that but one tank, holding 10000 barrels of oil, was on fire. The oil was being drawn on from 1t as rapidly as possible, and the firemen hoped to confine the flames to this one tank.

 Washington. Jan. 27.-(Special --As the Senate is making so much better progress with the penal code bill. 1t is understood the House Republican leaders favor sidetrackinE the measure in the lower branch and waiting for the Senate bill.
 If this is done, the chances are several important changes will be made which were urged by Southern members. not ably the amendment to fine and iTn- prison Government officials for giving out false crop statistics are in dam ger of being left out unless Demo- cratic Senators insist upon having them placed in the Senate bill before 1t passes that body. This will probably be done.
