There was nothing in the general news
this morning to indicate that the weak

result Of purely speculative conditions
a big demand developed around the low
level OF the morning and prices rallied
% or 30 points before the end of the
frst hour. although liquidation contin-
ued and the market remained extremely
nervous and unsettled.
The rally was encouraged by reports
of an advance OF to 3 points in the

bullish figures of the National Ginners'
Association. which pointed to total
ginning for the season of less than TO-
nO.0O0 bales. and reassuring statements
by prominent interests on the bull side.

Of HOSPITAL
ARE CARRIED TO SAFETY
Richmond College of Medicine,
Adjoining, Is Wrecked by
Fire This Morning.

RICHMOND, Va, January 6-Forty
patients. terror stricken, were hurriedfy
removed from Virginia Hospital through,
sleet and rain at 4 O'Clock this morning
while fire ragged next door, in the Uni
versity College Of Medicine.
The college building, three-story brick
structure. was completely wrecked. en-
failing an estimated loss OF $4,000.
A nineteen-year-ol nurse. Miss Bessie
c. Arnold of Hanover county. was the
heroine OF the hour. Discovering the
flames In the dental department, located
on the third floor OF the college building
adjoining, Miss Arnold gave the alarm,
aroused all the physicians in the hospital
and then began removing patients to
place of safety in nearby residences.
Through valiant work on the part of
the fire department. which had to con-
tend with ice-coated fireplugs and slip
perry streets, the hospital was saved.
Famed by heavy north wind. the fire
spread rapidly and the college building
was doomed in short time.
The morning air was nlied with flying
sparks. Adjoining structures were pro-
tected by an icy covering. The fire was
confined to the college.
For a time it was feared that the fire
would spread to the hospital before all
the patients could be gotten out in safety.
This task was accomplished without mis-
hap. All the sick in short time were
i'm other hospitals.
The adverse conditions under which the
fire fighters labored and the wild confu-
sion about the hospital made the scene
most spectacular.
A meeting OF the faculty of the Col
lege of Medicine will be held later in the
day to decide upon temporary quarters
while the college building is being rebuilt

AGE PENSION BILL
H: D. Brown Directed to Draft
Ideas for Government.
RETIREMENT OF CLERKS
Results of His Study of Problem
Has Approval of President and
Secretary MacVeagh.

Secretary Macveagh of the Treasury
has given instructions to Herbert d.
Brown. an employe of the Treasury, to
draw up a bill, based on a study COM
pleted by him. providing for retirement
of aged clerks OF the government. Mr..
Brown is now at work upon the meas
ure
Secretary MacVeagh will ask a sena-
tor and representative to introduce
and push this bill in Congress and will
give it the heartiest possible support.
He has long favored retirement law,
his earliest investigations in the Treas
ury showing him that the aged and
faithful employees should be placed in
position to be cared for when they have
reached an age that diminishes their
usefulness to the service of the gov
eminent
President Gives Approval.
President Taft is supposed to he in
hearty accord with the plans Of Secre-
tary McVeagh. the subject having re-
ceived consideration at cabinet meetings.
The President is known to have favored
some law providing for retirement for a
number of years.
Secretary MacVeaghs views on the
question were set forth at length in his
annual report to Congress
The basic principle of Mr. Brown S
system for retirement annuities is ~ per
cent of the salary received multiplied by
the number of years the clerk has per-
formed active service. According to his
plan. ordinary clerks will be retired at
seventy years of age. and letter carriers
at sixty-five years of age.
Pension After Retirement.
Thus a clerk who entered the service
at fifty years of age, and who retires at
seventy. having had twenty years of &C
tive service. at a salary Of $1,000 per
annum, the salary on which Mr.. Brown
bases his calculations. will receive an an
nuity Of $500. A clerk who entered the
service at twenty years of age and re-
tires at seventy. having served fifty
years, will receive an annuity of $500
This means that the government will
set aside $1S each year for an annuity
for each $1,000 clerk.
The earlier retirement for the mail car
riers is recommended by Mr.. Brown on
account Of the fact that their duties
lay them open to exposure. Railway
mail clerks. who are put In the same
category, are given credit for the great
strain under which they work.
