CONSERVATION reigned at the United

which for time threatened TO sweep
down upon the hospital grounds ana
buildings. DIR. H. W. Austin, who mas
charge of the hospital. was the nrst
to see the approaching danger. The
wind was directly from the northwest
The flames were rapidly spreading
over the golf links and racing straight
to the hospital when Austin gave the
alarm. All of his 14S patients We're

COAL BUNKfRS ARE
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Loss of Property Owned by the
Pacific Coast Company Es-'
timated at 100000
Flames Discovered by Watch
man Originated From an
Unknown Cause

A fire of unknown origin, which
ing. destroyed the coal bunkers in the
yard of the Pacific coast company at
the foot of BeaIe street, or the COM
pany's extensive apparatus for han
ding coal only the outer hoisting posts
remain. The $4,000 tons of Australian
coal that had been stored in the
bunkers fell TO the ground when the
structure collapsed, took fire and rs
still burning. The amount Of coal
burned and damaged by salt water will
not be known until the fire has been
extingufshed, and it will probably burn
for week. The officials of the COM
pany estimate the loss at 100000,
which is amply covered by insurance
The fire was discovered by William
Billingsley, a watchman, who lost no
time in turning in an alarm In the
section of bunker where the fire started
no coal was stored. which eliminates
the theory of spontaneous combustion.
That it was not the result of defect
i've electric wiring is also certain if
Billingsley is. correct in his declara-
tion that the electricity was switched
OFF Sunday afternoon and that there
were no live wires anywhere near
where the fire started. The company
officials say they do not know how
the fire started. but deny emphatically
that they have any reason to suspect
that it was started maliciously.
The Pacific Coast company's yard oc-
cupies an entire block and is isolated
from the rest of the water front. To
this fact and the presence of the state
fire tug Governor Markham at a nearby
wharf when the fire started Is due the
preservation of state property. Three
alarms were turned In and the response
by the municipal department was
prompt.
The Markham's batteries, in com
mand of Captain Miller. were in action
within five minutes after the fire
started, and the fire was practically
under control by the time the first
engine arrived.
In a shack in the coal company s
yard the fire fighters found John Fa1-
Ion, middle aged man. unwashed and
in evident physical distress. He was
taken to the harbor hospital. where
DR.. Pinkham declared that he was suf-
fering from pneumonia and sent him
