HAGERSTOWN
HAS TWO COSTLY FIRES.
Postofice Building, Antietam
Garage, and Baldwin Hotel
Burned To The Ground.


Tuesday night fire broke out in
the Antietam Garage building, Ha.
gerstown, and for a time threatened
to destroy much valuable property
near the center of the city.
The following report is taken from
the Frederick Post on "Wednesday
morning:
BULLETIN 2 80 A. M.
"The fire has spread to the An.
tietam Engine Company building,
the R. d. Keller's plant, Dagmal
Hotel and the Postoffice. The flames
are licking the walls of the Baltimore
and Ohio depot. Exploding gasoline
in the garage is adding to the fury of
the blaze. The loss probably will
reach 100000.
"Hagerstown, 200 A. M.-Fire
which started in the rear OF the An
tietam Garage, on Summit avenue,
at 20 O'Clock this morning, quickly
ate its way through the story
structure destroying machines and
property valued at more than $780,
600. The fla mes threaten to spread
to adjoining buildings and endanger
the heart of the business section.
THE following firms were located
in the building destroyed:
"Antietam Garage, first and second
floors.
Cumberland Valley Paper Box
Company, third floor.
Roller Skating Hippodrome, fourth
floor.
Next door to the garage building
is the Antietam Fire Engine House.
Nearby is the Postoflice. A short
distance away, on the opposite side
of the street, is the Baltimore and
Ohio Raileoad depot. Every fireman
in the city is now working heroically
to prevent the flames from reaching
these structures.
Fifty automobiles are believed to
have been stored in the garage and it
is feared all have been lost. Owing
to the terrific heat and dense smoke
the firemen are having considerable
trouble"
From other sources we learn that
about the time the above fire was un-
der control, flames shot forth from
the Baldwin Hotel on w. Washing
ton street, more than a block from
the fire. The origin of this fl re is
not exactly known.
The tiremen turned their attention
to the Hotel but though fighting he
roically, the whole interior was burn
ed. The building was of brick and
was one of the large hotels of the city
The Dagmar Hotel which was near
the garage fire was not burned, but
the Postofiice Building was destroy
ed.

FIGHT ON WARbURG
AND JONES GROWS
Wilson'S Defense of Harvester
Trust Director Fails to Sat-
isfy Opponents.

One Of the most interesting situations
With respect TO nominations which the
Senate has seen in many months ID
developing in regard to the federal re-
serve board
Opposition is growing TO the confirm
stion of Thomas D. Jones. of Chicago,
and also TO that Of Paul NJ. warburg,
If New York. Talk that Jones may
De defeated is current
The opposition to him grows out OF
he disclosure that he is connected with
the International Harvester Company.
President Wilson'S letter saying Jones
had one share of the stock and went
on the board to reform things has
caused trouble. George W. Perkins
statement that Jones did not reform
anything, but acquiesced in the action
Of the other directors, has made the
situation extremely embarrassing for
the Administration Democrats and for
the President
Fails To Get Quorum.
Senator Owen has been working to
get q favorable report on the nomina-
ton from the Banking and Currency
Corrhittee, but he cannot get quorum
because he is also trying to secure 9
report on the stock exchange bill and
Senator'S who object to that are re-
maining away from the committee
meetings.
Jones doubtless will appear before the
committee, or else make a detailed pub
lie statement in a short time. II looks
as IL his confirmation could not be
secured otherwise.
Some members of the Senate declare
that on the face of II, he could not
have got on the harvester board with
one share of stock unless he was en-
tirely satisfactory to the management.
While the troubles Of Jones are be-
ing sccentuated, there is talk of a full
investigation into Warburg, and the
part he has had in some Of the big
financial operations of Kuhn, Loeb &
Co.
May Involve McAdoo.
Secretary McAdoo, himself. is likely
TO be more or less drawn into the mat
ter, because some Senators are CRITICS
ing him on the ground he has been too
friendly to Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
Fesident Wilson is displeased at the
Senate insistence on knowing more
about Jones. He has said Jones was
in q peculiar sense his personal selec-
ton, and he would like to see his name
go through without further question
