COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 2i.--Greeted
by a band and over 1000 cheering
spectators Colonel Roosevelt arrived
in Columbus for few hours visit at
10 a. m. today. The few plain clothes
men detailed to guard the former
President proved entirely inadequate

way through the throng. Accompanied
by DR.. Washington GLADDEN. he was
taken at once to the latter's home,
where he remained until the time for
his address.
Four inches of snow under foot and
drizzling rain caused Roosevelt

managers in the state had planned.
But in spite of the weather, hundreds
fiocked to the station to get glimpse

HOUSTON,T TEX,
SWEPT BY
GREAT FIRE
More Than 200 Buildings Of
all Kinds Destroyed This
Morning
SOME ESTIMATES PLACE THE
LOSS AS HIGH AS 81, 100000
By The United Press.

by The united Press.
HOUSTON, Tex, Feb. 21-After the
most desperate struggle in the history
of the city, city firemen, aided by
thousands Of citizens and a force of
explosive experts from the Southern
Pacific Railway, at 10 o'clock today
got under control a fire that for hours
threatened the entire city. More than
two hundred buildings, including resi-
dences, factory buildings and churches
were burned. The majority of themi
however, were small atructures occu-
pied by railroad men and other work
ers and their families. Some esti-
mates put the loss as high as 81
100000.
The fire was famed by 35-mile-an-
hour wind which sent burning embers
far in advance of the main body OF
the blaze, and to this fact was due the
failure of the firemen to control the
blaze. 1t was not until after a block
of houses in the direct path of the
flames had been dynamited that the
iiremen got the situation in hand.
The area burned over adjoins the
yards of the Southern Pacific Rail-
way Cotton warehouses and loaded
cars here were destroyed. It was
this that brought the loss up, as most
of the houses that we're burned were
lightly constructed and their contents
not comparatively very valuable. Thc
path of the fire ranged from five tc
nine blocks in width.
The heaviest losers are the McFad-
den Compress and the Cleveland Com
press, both of which were filled with
cotton; the big plant Of the Ed. II
llarrell Lumber Company including
mills and yards and St Patrick's Cath
olic Church parish. The church anc
school adjoining were dstroyed.
