FIRE CAUSES
OVER Sl6,OOOLOS

Following a preliminary investigation
OF the damage done by the FIRE which
appears TO have started In the dark
room Of the Photographic studio of J.
II. Brooks, 9O7 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, and swept through the sec
ond and third floors OF the building yes
terdAy evening. Fire Marshal Nicholson
today estimated the loss at between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The Emerson Shoe store, operated by
the w. n. Dorsett Shoe Company on
the ground fiooU of the building, was
wrecked by the water used in extin-
gushing the blaze. A portion of the
stock OF the d. n. Wolford sporting
goods and cutlery establishment at 900
Pennsylvania avenue sustained consid-
cradle damage.
Fire Marshal Nicholson estimated the
damage TO the building at 5000. The
stock and apparatus of the studio were
valued at more than 1000. How js1Ich
damage was done the shoe store Mr.
Nicholson is unable to state. The stock
of the shoe store was valued at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. All the dam
age Is covered by insurance II Is stated.
Fearing that the fire would make it's
way to the second floor Of the Walford
establishment, men were put TO work
removing the large stock of ammunl-
ton stored there almost as soon as the
blaze was discovered.

In a similar way. he said, Burton of
Ohio Is for Hughes to keep the nemina-

case there is a hope that when Hughes
finally Is eliminated at his own request
the reversion of his support will go to

According to local Republican gossip
Whitman's Endorsement of Hughes Is
prompted in part by jealousy OF Elihu

Former President Would Make

Col. Theodore Roosevelt would
promptly disfranchise any man who re-
fused to fight for his country. He would
do more than that. Such "paciists and
poltroons." as the colonel designates
them. should be sent to the front IN

the more unpleasant but necessary tasks
OF military duty, such as burying deau
horses and digging kitchen sinks.
Colonel Roosevelt expressed these

GOVERNORWHITMAN
BOOMS HUGHES FOR
c. 0. P. NOMINATION
New York Executive Says He's
UnreservedIy for Him If He
viii Accept.
By P. t. RELLIHAN.

NEW YORK. Jan. 16.-Governor
Charles s. Whitman is for Justice
Charles Evans Hughes for President.
So he said in the st. Regis. How
ever, the Endorsement of Hughes,
quite emphatic in a way, was linkel l
with an implied doubt he would run.
Justice Hughes" said Whitman, "is
undoubtedly the choice of a majority
of the Republicans of the State and
nation. He would be the strongest
candidate and would make the best
President of any whose name has been
suggested.
IF we would accept the nomination
am unreservedly for him"
The governors statement was view
ed somewhat cynically in Republican
circles. One party leader remarked 1t

word for Hughes and two for himself

i'm the Chicago convention to make
Hughes the Presidential nominee.
They shout for Hughes now because
they believe Hughes means It when he
says he is not in any sense a candi-
date and could not be persuaded to ac-
cept the nomination.
THAT makes It a safe thing to de-
clare for him, and 1t is a good way in
which to hold the nomination away
from some other fellow. Besides, the
reputation of Justice Hughes is such

people is so high, that to declare for
him is highly popular act, kind OF

each day and taking keen interest in
what was going on about her. The flu
