BLAZE DESTROYS
MENACE To CITY
BUSINESS BLOCK
Old Elevator Building Goes Up
While Firemen Fight to Check
Spread Of Blaze; Department
Turns in Good Job.

A fire, of unknown origin which
resulted in the total destruction of
The elevator building owned by the
e. +. Rosebaum company of Fort
Worth, which building stood just
cast Of the Dawson -Schuler Produce
company and a few yards north Of
the Williamsoil-Hals ll-Frasier com
pany in the block between Second
Third streets and Choctaw and Penn
sylyania avenues, broke out last
might at 1905.
The fire had gained much head
way when the alarm was turned in
and it is the opinion of spectators
that the city fire department did
credible work in confining the blaze
to the building in which it original
ed in view of the fact that the build
ing destroyed was wooden struc-
and was in close proximity to num-
Der of other buildings which were
showered with sparks and fire
brands.
Nearly every available piece OF
the city's fire fighting apparatus was
used in fighting the blaze. A to
tai Of 2400 feet Of hose was used in
playing four streams Of water on the
fire. The fire engine worked per
fectly
The building wAich burned had
not been in use for several years, il
is said, and inasmuch as its owners
live in Fort Worth, its value and
the amount Of insurance has not
yet been ascertained.
In commenting on the fire and the
equipment of the city fire depart
ment this morning, Chief George Cat
tis made the following statement:
Il feel taat, under the conditions
the situation was taken care Of very
last night, but we were
to put all Of our equip
ment in service and had nothing in
reserve with which to take care OF
an emergency If there should have
been second alarm it would have
taken at least thirty minutes to re
spond as it would have been neccs
sary Ito send one of the wagons back
TO load up with another supply o.
hose for reason that every foot OF
hose that could be carried on the
wagons at one time were in use.
Although | would not advise the
expenditure of a large amount Of
the city's money for idle equipment, !
think that more equipment is very
necessary and that all money dis +
bursed for its purchase would be
well spent

Dl 0ulLtu i.TESS.
Oklahoma City, Feb. 25. If the re.
ports which leaked out from the
democratic caucus yesterday after
noon prove to be correct, the early
adjournment program Will mean that
there will be no probe Of admins.
tration matters pertaining to par.
dons and paroles
The suffrage question was to come
up for consideration in the legisla
tive body this morning and it was
indicated that there had been a
strong anti-suffrage element at work
among the representatives
Although there was applause in
the house during the reading of tel
egrams from opponents Of ratifica
tion yesterday afternoon. no action
was taken in direct opposition to the
progress Of the suffrage joint reso-
luton.
Opponents Of ratification declared
that as Tile count stood taen, they
would defeat the program Of the suf-
fragists for passage Of the ratifica-
Aion resolution and declaring an emer.
gency to make 1t effective at once,
the emergency clause requiring ap-
proval of two-thirds Of the members
elected in each branch. Without the
emergency clause, which would en-
able passage by a majority Of Nom
bers present, the resolution possibly
could pass, they said.
A. fighting chance in the house
and a more favorable chance in the
senate was claimed last night by the
anti-suffragists for their prospective
attack upon the ratification reso-
luton. II is expected taey will at
tempt TO substitute for ratification
by the legislature a resolution sub.
mitting the question to vote Of the
people in the primary election on
August 3. Anti-suffrage leaders con
ccded the possibility last night Of
their ranks being weakened suifi-
GENTLY by pressure from suffragists
to insure the passage Of the resolu-
tion as it stands now in the house
of representatives,.
Telegrams were read in both house
and senate concerning the ratifica-
ton Of the suffrage amendment.
Among those favoring ratification
we're Senator Owen Representatives
Carter. McEeown, Hastings, Howard
and McClintic and Mrs. d. A. Nc
Dougal Of Sapulpa. Opposing ratiti
cation were kilograms from Mrs Ru
fus NJ. Gibbs, president Of the Mary
