the ruins will probably be smoldering

keep pouring water on them from one
or two pipe lines.
Traffic Tied Up.
The fire completely tied up traffic on
the avenue until nearly 8 o'clock. Hose
bridges were sent to the scene by the
Capital Traction Company as soon as
the first alarm was sounded, but so
many pipe lines crossed and recrossed
the Avenue that 1t required the street
car employees nearly three hours to get
all the hose overhead.
Chief Wagner was especially pleased
with the work done by the water tower
He said there had never been a fire in
Washington where 1t was more ef-
fectively used.
Police Called Out.
1t afforded the only means of fighting
the flames from the front Of the build
ing. BY using two turrets and the
main stand pipe, quantity OF water
was thrown through the windows on the
top floor.
The large crowd gathered necessitated
calling out the police reserves Of sew

The fire was discovered by Charles
