BOILING TAR SETS FIRE TO CANNON
 STREET BULL DING
Mason Battling with Flames Is Badly Burned In
 Face and Hands

Boiling tar placed over drying furnace in the upper rooms of the building 25-29 Cannon street this af- ternoon caused an alarm to be turn ed in from box S2 at the corner of Fairfield and Main street. Fred Gunther, 8 mason, living at 16O Par rott avenue, in attempting to ex- tinguish the flames was so badly burned about the hands and face that first aid treatment had to be rendered by members of chemical before he was taken to the emergency hospi- tai. The fire damage was confined to charring of the flooring.
 Believing that the fire might be in one of the large department stores in the vicinity a great throng gather ed. @The parking of automobiles in Cannon street without the owners presence was found to be a hfndrance to firemen and had it been necessary to attach hose to one of the hydrants, shown by the big automobile steamer which was making ready to push it's way to the hydrant when word was received that chemicals would ex- tingush the blaze. Chief Mooney is likely to take up this question at the next board meeting in his report.
 Cries of fire from the windows ~of the upper story of the building were heard by Thomas Wagner, a newspaper reporter, who turned in the alarm which resulted an the flames being checked before they reached the large quantity of shaving and scattered lathes with which the build ing was filled.

He admit ted ennity toward the Senator be- cause, the witness asserted, Gore had promised to use his influence in be- half of H. A. Rogers, of Oklahoma, mentioned as candidate for the post of secretary of the Interior but had failed to do so.
 Robertson was called as an eye witness to indignities which Mrs. Bond alleged were offered her by Senator Gore in Washington. last March and on which her suit is based.
