LOSS FROM FIRE
IN BIG FIGURES

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 28.--Reviscd cs
Inmates Of the loss caused by the fire
which early today wrecked three Of
the group Of buildings IN the center
Of the city, formerly occupied by Johns
Hopkins university and damaged
about score Of residences and stores
in the vicinity placed the amount at
approximately $700,O00. The loss to
the university alone may reach $780,
600, but it is covered by insurance.
Investigation is under way to deter
mine the origin Of the blaze which
broke out in Mccoy hall, one of the
units Of the Hopkins group. Several
explosions were heard IN the building
a few minutes after the fire started
and as no explosives were stored there
fire officials are at loss to explain
what caused them.
Mccoy hall, which since the re-
moval Of the university 70 Homewood
had been home Of virtually all Of the
charitable organizations Of the city,
was destroyed with records, manu-
script and data Of value that can not
be fixed in dollars. The Maryland Tu-
bcrculosis association lost more than
100000 Red Cross Christmas seals
which can not be replaced for the cam
paign just about to begin.
A high wind drove huge cmbcrs for
many squares, starting several other
fires. One blaze broke out ten blocks
away. EutaW Street Methodist Episco-
pal church, two squares distant, was
set on fire and badly damaged. The
church is one Of the city's oldest cdi-
fees and has been prominently idcn-
tilted with the history Of Mcthodism.
