to-day because of fire in the north
wall annunciator board on the Ex-

built to the Exchange. Clouds of
smoke swept into the main Exchange.
F'ircmen fought nearly two hours
to keep the fire out Of the building,
but despite their efforts. the hig in
dicator board was destroyed.
The fire attracted a great crowd.
Police reserves and scores of detec-
tives and private guards were thrown
into the financial district Traffic

street sides Of the burning building.
While the firemen were still at
work. ]. Pierpont Morgan arrived at
his Offices, just across the street, and
watched the spectacle. Like other
prominent Wall Street men, he was
forced to leave his automobile block
from the scene and walk past the
fire to his office. The Morgan Build
ing was under a heavy guard OF
police.
With the exception of the annun-
ciator board the Exchange proper suf-
fered little damage except from
smoke, although water poured over
the floor. The total damage was es-
tim1t"d by fire officials at $4,000.
