FIRE AT COLUMBIA
DESTROYS FAMOUS
UNIVERSITY HALL
Blaze Wrecks Building De-
signed by Stanford White.
/ 5000 Students Rush to
/ Rescue Trophies.

NEW YORK, oct. 10.-Fire wrecked
~. famous University Hall of Columbia
,-nlverslty today. Estimates Of the loss
vary. Fire Chief Kenlon, who led the
hremen that fought the blaze, declared
mat it was fully $1OOOOOO but officials
~ the university declared this estimate
vas too large and said the loss prob
sbly would not be more than 5000, 900 and
might be much less.
The building was a two-story struc-
ture. housing the gymnasium, the
Columbia Spectator, the college paper; the
eating commons, the swimming pool and
,he college power plant. The fire for a
time imperled the entire group of uni
yersity buildings, but was confined by
treat efforts to the one building.
Five alarms summoned all available ap-
paratus to the scene and the flremen
we're aided as far as possible by 1000 stu
dents, many of them scantily clad, who
rushed from their dormitories and saved
many Of the trophies and much of the
college property in the burning building
II was in this structure that President
Nicholas Murray Butler was installed in
1905. He was among the spectators who
saw 1t destroyed.
STARTED IN KITCHEN.
The fire is believed to have started In
The kitchen of the eating commons. 1t
was discovered by students returning
from smoker. Fire apparatus was soon
on the scene in response to their alarm.
but It was kept waiting for 20 minutes
for the gates of the campus to be
opened
when the firemen got through the gates
they found that only two hydrants were
available on the campus. AS a result,
most of the hose had to be attached to
hydrants several blocks away from the
FIRE.
OVERCOME SAVING TROPHY.
Several students had narrow escapes
from death. Frank Mccarthy, stroke on
the college crew, was overcome while
trying to drag rowing trophy from the
gymnasium. A number of students who
carried out a grand piano dropped with
exhaustion as soon as they had COM
pleted their task. Sparks were blown
through the open windows of Hadley
Hall. adjoining the gymnasium, and set
fire to bedding there. but the flames were
extingushed without serious damage.
University Hall was designed by Stan
ford White, the architect killed by Harry
K. Thaw. The original plans called for
a siX-story building, but only two had
been finished. The first floor of the
building, second largest on the campus,
was Of steel and concrete. The second
story was of wood

LAST OF "ANCIENT
MARINERS" ARRIVES
HERE FROM HAWAII
The 10 h n Eva Lands
After Long Voyage and
Brings B ck Glorious
Memories of Old.

Latt, or almost last, Of the type Of ships
that .once made the Stars and Stripes
supreme on the Seven esas, the Amerl-
can square-rigged ship John Ena, ar
rived at this port last night from tIilo,
Hawaii Islands. The voyage from the
Pearl islands of the Pacific to this city
took 131 days. During IL the dreaded hook
of South America, Cape Horn, was
rounded probably for the last time by a
vessel TO or from this port. The OPEN
ing of the Panama Canal sends into his
tory the romance surrounding the sail
ing round the Horn"
The John Ena left Hilo on May 81 COM
manded by Captain Olsen. Neither he nor
the crew of "a men knew OF the war
sweeping over Europe until told of the
fact by Captain F. De otte, of the revenue
cutter OnondaKa, off Winter Quarter
Light, on Wednesday morning. 1t was
amazing news to them. Every nation
alltY with the exception OF the Belgian
and Serb, involved in the struggle are
them, there are a few Philippine Island
ers, South Sea Islanders and Americans.
GLORIOUS MEMORIES.
Memories OF the glorious days, gone
forever, when the harbor resembled a
forest of masts, from tho majority OF
which flew the American flag, were re-
called by the ports ancient mariners"
at the sight of the stately royal gal
liant yards of the staunch sailer. Those
we're the days" said one veteran, when
there was no hue and cry for an Amer
lean merchant marine. We had one to
be proud of, and though its tonnage was
less than other nations the Yankee tars
and Yankee ships by their fearlessness
and courage captured most of the worlds
commerce"
The John Ena is virtually, II not ac-
tually, the last of the magnificent race
of windjammers typical OF the thrilling
clipper ship era. In the past few years
the square-rigged ships under the Ameri-
can flag have been converted into barges
or have gone to their doom on the scrap
pile or gloriously at sea. It is most likely
that the days OF the John Ena as crea-
ture of the roaring forties" are ended.
Uncle Sans gigantic waterway across
the Isthmus Of Panama has made it i'm
possible for vessel of her type to COM
pete against steamships. 1t is expected
that the Ena will have an auxiliary
engine installed to obviate the necessity
of being toweo through the canal and up
through the windless western approach.
The towage fees cut into the proits until
they are nil.
HAD BAD VOYAGE.
The John Ena. according to Captain
Olsen. had some of the worst weather
o: her career on her voyage At times
there was not enough wind and at other
times there was too much wind The
run from Hawaii to the Equator re-
quired ten days and to Cape Horn 10
days. This, Captain Olsen said. was the
slowest run he has ever made to these
points. Two years ago Captain Olsen
brought his ship around to this port in
"a days. which still stands as an unsur-
passed record. The weather at the Horn
was beautiful. 1t was cool, but clear
The run up the Atlantic coast was un-
eNentful. During the entira pf
