PATHOLOGICAL BUILDING
AT JOHNS HOPKINS BURNS
Flames Isolated From Other Build
ings; Animals and Lab
oratories Are Lost.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 1.-THE Patho-
logical building OF the Johns Hopkins
Hospital group, famous throughout
the world as the workshop of DR.. VIII
liam II. Welch, was wrecked by fire
last night. The building is on the
southwest corner of Monument and
Wolfe streets.
None of the valuable specimens.
over which DR.. Welch and other emf
nent scientists labor"d so long, was
lost, because these were removed a
couple of years ago. None of the rec
ords OF the research work was dam
aged. for they, too, long ago were
placed In another building. Many of
the specimens of abnormal growths
and diseased skins which were on the
first for of the building, were saved
by medical students, who broke into
the windows and carried them to
safety.
Four fremen received minor injur-
les and cuts from broken glass.
The only lives lost were those OF
animals, for on the nth floor which
was added not long ago, we're kept
the guinea pigs, rabbits and rats used
in making experiments.
On the fourth floor, however, valu-
able instruments were ruined. The
loss of this nature could not be deter
mined.
Not a patient in the hospital was in
imminent danger. but twenty colored
women were removed from ward o,
which is scarcely more than sixty feet
to the south of the burned structure.
The credit for this remarkable calm
IL due the hospital nurses and physi-
clans. many OF whom served In the
world war and suddenly found them
selves acting automatically in the per-
formance Of their duty.
