FIRE IN EBB|7T HOUSE
cAuSESLOSSo OF $1,000
Alarm Arouses Sleeping
Guests, But the Danger Is
Quickly Over.

Thirteen companies of the fire depart
alarms sounded because of a threatening
blaze in the Ebbitt House at 14th and
F streets northwest. Persons employed
in the hotel had the fire lines and eX-
tingushers in use long before the arrival
of thescity engines. and their work, it is
believed. saved the building from ruin.
The blaze was confined to a grease f1ue
leading from the kitchen to the roof. and
to about ten rooms on six of the floors
near the fiue and it was quickly sup
pressed by the firemen. The damage is
estimated at about s3.O0O-S1.5 500 to the
Nulding and a similar amount to the
hotels effects.
1t was about 7:15 o'clock when the
first alarm was sounded. Capt. Caring
ton. acting deputy chief, judging from the
outlook that the fire might get beyond
as a precautionary measure. The flames
had burned through the f1ue to the roof
when the firemen reached the building.
Warning to Guests.
Sounding Of fire gongs in the hotel
aroused sleepers and warned them that
it would be well to prepare for an emer-
gency. Miss Anna Robinson, housekeeper
and Carl Myers. steward, did effective
work in the way of suppressing excite
ment 1t did not become necessary for
all of the guests to leave their rooms, as
the blaze did not get beyond the SOUTH
east portion OF the building and not even
the smoke reached other parts Of the
structure.
It is believed that the fire was caused
by an overheated stove in the kitchen.
the fan at the top of the shaft assisting
in drawing the blaze to the upper part
of the fiue. Deputy Fire Marshal Seib,
who was early upon the scene. stated
that the f1ue was lined with. tin as far
uD as the third floor.
An occupant of a room near the hue,
on the third floor, heard the roar Of the
blaze in the shaft several minutes before
he learned Of the trouble. The flames
finally reached the room he occupied, but
he had ample time to dress and get his
effects out before the partition was burn
ed.
Precautionary Measure.
1t became necessary for the firemen to
tear away partitions on each floor in or
der to prevent the flames from spreading.
Particular attention was also paid to
the roof. Chief Wagner realizing that the
spread of fire under the roof might mean
the destruction of the entire upper part
of the building.
Had the building not been fully equip
ped with hose lines and extinguishers,
stated Fire Marshal Selb, much more
damage would have been done. The
building. he stated. has the latest fire
equipment and the employees displayed
excellent Judgment.
Only a small portion of the roof OF the
hotel was burned and workmen were able
to cover il this morning and prevent the
rain from doing additional damage The
fire interfered but little with the hotel
work, the service being continued almost
without interruption.

a great sensation. He was chief of the
staff of the 9th Austrian Army

while exercising his functions. The in
formation he was alleged to have sold to

though throng that rivaled the one
of last night was standing in patient
expectation. Half of the crowd were
women. Speaker Smith glanced over
the empty rows of members seats, anC
ventured the opinion that 1t would be
evening before vote on the impeach-

The gathering in the governors office
was swollen by the arrival of republican

against the organization.

Mann OF Illinois and Representative
Mondell of Wyoming today gave the
democrats the warmest hour they have

consideration Of his resolution which
reads as follows:
Resolved. that the Secretary Of the
Treasury be, and he is hereby. directed
to transmit to the House Of Repre-
sentatives the facts in his possession
on which he based the charge recently
made by him that the recent decline in
the price of United States per
centum bonds Is due almost wholly to
what appears to be a campaign waged
with every indication of concerted ac-
tion on the part of a number of infiuen-
tial New York city banks to cause appre-
hension and uneasiness about these
bonds in order to help them in their
efforts to defeat the currency bill"
That the Secretary OF the Treasury is
also hereby directed to inform the
House as to the facts on which he
based his statement as follows: That
nothing has occurred to impair the
value of the 2 per centum bonds, but
the amendment already adopted by the
House enhances their intrinsic value"
together with a copy of the amend
ment thus referred to by him.
