himself again last night against charges
of sensationalism with sermon he en-
titled, THE Greatest Sensation Of ALL"
and in which he suggested that so far as
sensationallsm is concerned he might
fairly be compared to John the Baptist.

2 Die, 800 ESCAPEIN
CAPITAL HOTEL FIRE
The National, Noted Washing
ton Landmark, Built in
1927, Almost Destroyed.
Special Despatch to THE NEw YoRK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C.. Oct. g.

| hpcciui DcSpdtcH 10 THE NEW YORK HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. C.. Oct. g..
The National Hotel. one of the land
marks Of Washington. caught fire about
2 80 this morning. The interior of the
building was almost destroyed, with the
loss of two lives and the escape Of more
than 300 persons.
| The dead are Miss Catherine Dean, 25
years of age, one Of the telephone OPP
orators. who came short time ago from
| Akron, Ohio, and George Mason. 40
years old, of UppervilIe. an employee Of
the United States Shipping Board. They
were burned to death in their rooms.
In addition four persons were seriously
injured from jumping from windows. A
score more we're slightly injured.
| The fact that virtually all persons in
the hotel escaped was regarded as mar
vellous by the police, owing to the fact
that the hotel. five stories high, was OF
flimsy construction with wooden floors.
The night telephone operator. Dallas
White. a negro. called every room. which
enabled the occupants to get away, al
though some of them were forced out in
night attire. White could not recall
whether the two who were burned 10
death answered the summons.
Many, cut off from the elevators and
stairs by the flames and smoke. had to
jump into fire nets. Others slid down
ropes to the street The fire ragged for
three hours and was spectacular.
The National Hotel was built in 1927
and for many years was favorite
meeting place for leaders in Congress
and officials OF the Administration. It's
proximity TO the Capitol--at Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Sixth street--made 1t
Popular.
Abraham Lincoln stayed there for a
time before he entered the White House.
In recent years the hotel had been
pointed out as the one-time home Of
Henry Clay, who died there. The hotels
popularity gave way to the more modern
hotels of Washington, the hosiery took
its place as landmark. and II was said
that some of the room furnishings were
those originally installed in 1927.
One interesting feature OF the place
was that almost all the Indians who
visited Washington 20 gee the Great
White Father" stayed there.
The fire had some amusing as wei as
grim incidents. one was when woman
In a night dress was carried TO the
street. somewhat dazed
MY God" she shrieked when safe on
the sidewalk. i've left my baby in there
to die
Two policemen rushed UP to her to get
the room number 80 that they might
effect q rescue.
Just then there appeared on fire
escape a man weighing 800 pounds in
knee length underwear. but with no
other adornment than n stiff hat
Don't worry. Hon." the baby cried ;
