Here was an old building. presumed "a

wise. The streets were narrow on three
sides and a gale was tanning the fire
from the open stretch In 'front.'. Besides
this 1t was nearly zero weather and
more than usually severe because of the
wind. Notwithstanding these difficult
ties the fire was confined to the one
building.
The greatest calamity Is the loss OF
Walsh. God rest his soul.

men who fought the fire from daylight
to now"
Chief kcnlol was standing before the
i~ce-coated skeleton OF the Equitable
Building as he delivered his word O
praise for the fire~-tighters. He was cov

But In falling he struck his head

shock revived him sufficiently to en-

way half way up the steps, wrapped his
arms around Il line OF hose and hung
there until ireinen dragged him out.
Then he told of the condition OF the
men In the cellar and they were rescued

SHO WV TO BE UNSAFE,

+. J. T. Stewart. Superintendent Of the
Bureau of Surveys OF the New York
Board Of Fire Underwriters. said that
the Equitable Building nre would open
the eyes OF the fire insurance COM
panies.
1T has always been presumed that
what Is known as the old style fire.
proof building. which has brick arches
and exposed iron beams. was n good
risk when the structure was used as an
office structure nj vas the Equitable
Building" said Mr.. Stewart. 1T has
been clearly demonstrated to-day that
the old style hreproof structure Is not
as safe as has been presumed.
II have heard the report that the
first alarm was not turned in for
some time after the discovery of the
blaze. That Is Just what the Fire
Underwriters Association and the Fire
Department has been preaching against
for some time.
1.-THE Underwriters have always urged
the turning in of a regular alarm
upon the first discovery of a blaze, but
w%atchmen in buildings will insist upon
fighting the flames themselves and then
turning In an alarm when they find
that the fire Is beyond their control
That tends to give the flames a head
way that is hard to overcome by the
fire apparatus when 1t arrives. ThaI
was the result to-day.
