TO do everything that was right in regard
to the matter, they sill considered that
the building was suitably equipped with
exits in case of fire. He said that there
were four exits from the rooms on the

There are iron ladders running up the
back OF the block and on the top floor
he said that a runway onto the top of

ing with him and the committee to

Everybody, however, Is more or less
acquainted with Gen. Leonard Wood
the colonel of the Rough Riders, who
was given rather generous press no.
tees after the charge of San Juan
hill. 1t is, therefore, more because the
people know General Wood than be
cause they are intimately acquainted
with Representative Fitzgerald that
interest is felt in an attack the latter
made upon the general yesterday in
the House. General Wood had recon.
