MGHI CLERK RESCUED
 GOvEvN0R'S DAUGHTER
Henry Wiley Carried Out Little Marian SIoan-Governor and Mrs. Sloan
 Went Over an Awning.

The first thing that Henry Wiley. night clerk at the Hotel Adams. did when he discovered the hotel was on fire, was to awaken the proprietor. J. C. Adams; his next thought was for the little daughter of Governor Sloan He ran to their apartments at the south east corner of the hotel on the first floor. lifted the slumbering child from her bed and carried her to safety through the smoke. Incidentally this act of heroism caused the governor a
 few anxious moments for Wiley had
 no time to inform him that he had carried the little girl away. It was only a few minutes. however. before he found that Marian was safe.
 Governor sloan was sleeping inside. while Mrs. sloan and Marian were on the portico. The governor arose dur ! ing the night to look at the comet and , slept soundly afterwards The cries
 or alarm in the hall ways and the bell
 boys pounding on the doors awole him.
 There was a dense cloud of smoke | in the hall" said Governor Sloan yes | terday as he stood surveying the ruins
 Of the hotel, but I hardly supposed that the fire would reach our rooms. I really had plenty of time to dress. or ! would have had, had I not been worried by the absense of the little
 girl. When I could not find her I was extremely worried though I knew she had been carried out, but I was not
 sure that her rescuer would select the
 best exit If I had known it was the night clerk my mind would have been set at rest at once. lost some Valu- able moments before I was assured of her safety, and then Mrs. Sloan and made hurried retreat from the build ing"
 Governor Sloan was very cool through it all. Mrs. Sloan hastily caught up a dress and the governor
 assisted her over the balcony railing | and out on the awning above the side ! walk The awning was strong and firm and there was little danger If it's breaking They slid down the awning to the edge and from there dropped into an express wagon that
 had been driven up for the purpose of aiding guests who chose that means of
 escape. They were then escorted to
 the Den rooming house by friends
 The Sloans lost nearly all the cloth
 ing they possessed except what little
 they wore at the time of their escape fro mthe burning building. Their i clothing was laid away in closets and

ALL PROBABLY SAVED

In spite of early reports, It Is pe- lieved that there was no loss oi lte' though all the known guests were not accounted for last night That is eX- plained that when they fled before the conflagration there was no reason why they should return after it vas over. There were a few minor injuries sus- tained in the hurry of the flight. There were many narrow escapes; in fact. 1t may be said that all were narrow the margins in most cases were sec onds.
 The origin of the fire is matter of conjecture as it always will be but 1t is generally believed a chemical com bustion in the basement near the southwest corner caused it.
 The presence of the fire was discov- cred at 5:45 in the morning and all most simultaneously smoke was belch- ing from every window to the top of the building followed q little later by tongues of flame which grew rapidly in breadth and length until they wrap ped the great structure.

over and over again. That something was burning would have been known if the bell had been silent for q great black column seen for miles was rear ing itself higher and higher from the center of the town.
 Another great black cloud was rising from the stack of the water works whose engines were working furiously to supply the means of putting down that rival smoke.
 Long before seven o'clock the col umn 4of smoke v,ls followed upward by a Column of fire visible even in the bright sunlight fer miles. Those who were nearer got an idea of an intensi- ty of the fire. Out of the flames and smoke there now and then burst little white clouds or exhausted and useless steam. The fierce heat was catching the water from five streams of hose. carrying it upward and dissipating it.. One terrifying effect Of the fire was its roaring which could be heard above all other sounds a mile away.

In the greatest disaster in all the fiery record of Arizona the Hotel Adams. the largest and most expensive building in Phoenix. was utterly de stroyed yesterday morning.
 All that was left last night to marx where it stood was 8 tall chimney. an elevator shaft the half ov. hich had been sheared away Iongitudinally, and a tall spire Of masonry whose fall was momentarily threatened. Men were proposing to complete the ruin and remove the menace with dynamite.
 The loss of the hotel and its con tents. to say nothing of the individual losses of the guests and the damages to adjacent buildings are conservative lv estimated at 25O,OOO.
 The insurance will not exceed Sloc'- 000. exclusive of that on buildings not greatly damaged. In many cases there is pitiful discrepancy between the loss and the insurance.
