 At 4:35 o'clock, the flames burss through the huge marble walls, thick as a city's bulwarks, and swept into the office of Senator Robert s. Wag- ner, majority leader of the Senate. At this point, only two rooms were between the fire and the Senate chamber and Senators were notified to make a rush and take from their desks all the documents they wished to preserve.
 State Architect Ware was early on the scene along with many other state and city officials. He said that 1t would be impossible to give any idea of the damage until after the flames the loss at o'clock at from $5,00o,- GOO to $8,0O0,O00.
 Captain Story and his men were fighting the flames in the Senate judi c1ary committee room, when the fire eating through supposedly freproot doors, trapped them for a time in corner, but they managed to escape.
 Fifteen fremen who were battli1g at the state library were temporarily overcome by smoke, shortly after five o'clock and they were forced to aban don their operations at this point.

 Every piece of fire apparatus in the city, with all the available men was then on the scene.
 Finding they were baffled at the State Library, the f1remen turned their attention to saving other offices on the third floor. They carried a line of hose through the Senate cham Der and 1t was doing good work until the smoke drove them out.
