CHIEF JOHN - KENYON AS HE --..- LOOKED AT FIRE. they ran against wall of fire. Walsh's companions broke through this and gained a window. Walsh was not seen thereafter, and Chief Kenlon gave him up for dead.
 William Giblin, president of the Mer- cantile Safe Deposit company, was res cued after the last rites of the church had been administered by.a fire chap lain. He had got imprisoned. and fire men had to saw through bars of steel in order to free him.
 A number of large office and bank buildings in the vicinity were threat ened, but the fremen succeeded in confining the damage to the Equitable structure.
 Banking business in Wall street was paralyzed because of the ire. Three of the city's largest banks were in the fire zone and had to temporarily close their doors. They were the Liberty National, Chase National and the American Exchange.
 It was estimated that $f5,OOO,O00 worth of securities. representing col lateral, were locked up, not counting those destroyed. While these securi- ties were safe from fire, they might as well have been in ashes, so far as their usefulness for business within few hours was concerned.
 The Stock Exchange opened for business at the usual hour. but a spe- cial meeting of the governors was called to see how far the trouble af- fected the trading. The governors de- ctGed to have deliveries for the day suspended, except by mutual consent.
 All the records of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroad systems. in the offices on the fourth floor. were destroyed. Cancelled coupons were flying about in. the street, and one on which $20 had been paid was picked up near the Brooklyn bridge
 The Equitable building covered an acre of ground. It was built in 1869 and remodeled in 1887. For years it was one of the show places of New York. Some five years ago plans for a sixty-two story building to take its place were drawn, but this project was finally abandoned.
 The Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety maintained a law library. prob ably one of the largest in the country. This was destroyed, along with the elaborate quarters of the Lawyers club, which occupied half a floor. The surrounding buildings on Nassau, Pine. Cedar and Liberty streets were not damaged by the flames. but various tenants sustained considerable dam age from water. Nearly every building was overrun with firemen. who fought the blaze from the office windows. Several lines of hose were operated from every building close to the burn ing structure, and the leaky hose food ed the offices, so that business in them was interrupted at least for the day.
 The loss of life in the Equitable fire was not anything like that in the Fri angle Shirt Waist company fire in Washington place last March, where Al persons, mostly young women, per ished. But the property loss and the menace to additional lives and proper ty were nothing like so serious in the case of the shirt waist factory disas- ter, hogrible as it was in itself =

TEN TO START IN EARNEST
NEXT FRIDAY.

Members of the special Couneit
committee named to probe the pupiic
school system got together Yesterday
afternoon and agreed to start the
probe in earnest next Friday after
noon. beginning at 1880 o'clock
sharp, They directed Clerk mellow
ell to notify Superintendent Chandler
and members Of the School Board

teachers to be present at the next
meeting. Meanwhile Chairman Pot-
lock will confer with City Attorney

opinion from that official specifying
tho legal bounds of the probers ana
giving them ouch other advice as they
may need.
While only the white teachers Of
the elementary grades expected to be
present when the probe starts. II Is
the declared Intention or the COM
mittee to give everybody chance.
This means that other teachers In the
system will doubtless be questioned
In the course OF the investigation.
It was from the elementary teach
nrs that the Information that brought
about the probe was first obtained.
For this reason the committee de-
sires to quiz them first.
Chairman Pollock stated during the
session yesterday afternoon that he
expected the school probe will result
in untold good to the citizens OF
Richmond, so far as their educational
system Is concerned. believing as he
does that the fundamentals are now
being sadly neglected while frilis and
fancy side lines are given more at
tcntion than ever before. And II
may he stated that the other MEM
bers Of the committee arc practically
Of the same mind.
Six members of the committee were
present. al follows: Messrs. Pollock.
Hirschberg, Gunst, Umiauf, Kahn and
Fuller.
Mr.. Mitchell. the other member.
was unavoidably detained at his place
Of business. He arrived just as the
committee was adJourntnE.
All the members declare that they
are determined to insert the probe
to the bottom. and in doing 80 they
expect particularly strong assistance
from the elementary teachers.

to the pickpocket who sat beside her.
The pickpocket was glaring saw
agely at the girl he had Just robbed.
and then he darted lightning glance
at Carl and withdrew into his sui

The girl sim gesticniated at Carl
and he glanced down just in time to
Intercept tho sly hand of thief who
was abstracting his watch by an
deliberately simple method of a slit

watch with a moan of pain and thrust

The whole thing had been done so
quickly that II had been witnessed
only by one or two ~assengers In
Carts car besides the Brown Girl and
the other pickpocket In the local.
The girl smiled with relief and a
little embarrassed flush came over
her face from brow to chin as Carl
lifted hts hat In acknowledgment OF
the service she had rendered him.
Now he knew why the pfckpocket
beside her had been glaring go an

abstraction OF Carte watch frnas his
pocket and perhaps had recognized a
friend or a fellow criminal In the
thief, and resented her warning. Carl
wished that he could do a like ser
