Blaze in Cellar of Washington
Inn Causes Damage of
About $500.

Smoke from q fire in the cellar at
Washington Inn, 226 North Capitol street.
| last night about 8 o'clock filled many of
the rooms and the corridors Of the build
ing. number of the guests hurried to
/ the street. Two women descended the
/ fire escape. and others would have risked
going down the icy steps had not Bat
talon Chief Proctor told them that there
was no necessity for such a descent. and
they could go down by the stairs with
safety.
| +. W.. Reynolds. manager Of the hotel,
was told of the fire in the cellar by a
colored boy who was formerly employed
| in the hotel. Then the boy ran to the
quarters of No. 1 truck company and
gave the alarm. One Of the hotel en-
| ployes told the manager that the boy was
seen to enter the cellar by a side win
dow shortly before the PLACE was dis
| covered. Manager Reynolds told the po-
lice that several articles OF wearing APP
parel were found to have been stolen
from the cellar.
Battalion Chief Quickly Arrives.
Battalion Chief Proctor was one Of the
first members of the fire department to
reach the scene of the blaze, being sta
toned at No. 1 truck companys quarters.
opposite the hotel.
Jim Stewart, the fireman. is in the fur
mace room,' the chief was Told. He hur-
ried to the door leading to the room, but
it was impossible to enter, the blaze hav-
ing ignited a large pile of waste and
spread through the room. 1t was later
learned that Stewart had climbed through
a side window.
AS soon as guests on the upper floors
were told of the fire many of them hur-
ried to the rear of the building to get
glimpse of the blaze. One of the four
inch steam pipes had broken and the
escaping steam was sending the smoke
high into the air, lighting 1t and giving
1t almost the appearance OF q blaze.
Building Full Of Smoke.
Most of the windows were left open,
and in a few minutes the building was
filled with smoke. No trouble was ex-
perienced by the f1remen in getting
water supply. and in short while they
had the blaze extingulshed. An examina
ton of the premises last night disclosed a
quantity of waste paper In the basement.
Some hot ashes. the firemen state. were
room.
Ffremen thought that hot ashes had
caused the fire. Policeman Terry and
Fire Marshal Nicholson are investigat-
ing the affair today. The police are look
ing for the colored boy to have him tell
what he knows about the fire.. The dam
age done by the blaze is estimated at
about $500, fully covered by insurance.

Members Of Family Sick But Not
Certain They Have the Disease.

Mrs. August Eggers, wife of Ger

chinosis, a rather uncommon disease,
caused by eating raw or partly cooked
pork. Mrs. Eggers may recover but
her condition is dangerous.
DR.. I. D. Kaufman, Of State Center,
who is attending the case,,, thinks the
patient has a chance for recovery, and
that she may get we'll but her condi-
ton is not encouraging. It is known
that Mrs. Eggers contracted the dis
ease from eating pork that was infect
ed with trichina spiralis, the germ that
causes the disease.
Other members Of the family are also

diagnosed as trichinosis. and it may
not prove to be that disease.
