At o'clock this morning the fire
had become so fierce that the decks
were hot. At o'clock this afternoon
the Potomac slowed down to half
speed. At 1850 O'Clock Captain Nc
Leod ordered the engines stopped and
the blazing craft rolled sluggishly
about while the whole crew became
fire fighters. Seamen went over the
sides in 'bos'n's chairs with sledge-
hammers smashed in the cast iron
port lids and directed their hose in
the heart of the fire but without eff
feet. Even live steam turned into the
hatchways failed to retard the flames.
AT $50 o'clock in tho morning
after the rs. o. S." had been sent out
and a rescue vessel was heaving-to to
await the result OF the battle, Captain
Mcleod decided that rather than
beach his ship he would try a stunt he
learned during the war, while lodging
enemy submarines.
\ He steamed ahead at top speed, un-
til the whole ship throbbed with vi

obscured by the dense smoke sweep

Immediately the flames subsided

hours after tho alarm was sounded
the fire was under control and the

Chief Engineer Garland was over

gated. He saw the building ablaze and
turned in the alarm.
The high wind carried burning en-
bers for blocks and it was feared ad-
ditional fires would be started from
this cause. Sparks showered down on
the Union depot and upon the plat
forms and the dense smoke from the
blaze blinded passengers alighting
from the trains while the trains them
selves had to move with caution be-
cause 1t was almost impossible to see
the signals.
The building is near the freight
yards of the Denver and Rio Grande
Western railroad and many box cars
were endangered. Quick work on the
part OF switching crews pulled the
cars out of the danger zone. The fire
mems lives were endangered by flying
sheets of the corrugated iron roof
which '1oosened by tho flames were
blown thru the air by the wind. A
portion Of the wall fell and F'iremen
Anderson and Boedecker narrowly
escaped death.
The building was erected in 1895 and
for years was used as an armory for a
Unit of the National Guard In this city.
The ground floor was occupied by
the Holmes Hardware company. Later
1t was leased TO the Fits Manufactur-
ing company which renewed ten-year
lease directly after the flood which
caused heavy loss to the company
and much damage to the building.
The value of the stock carried in the
plant at the time Of the fire was in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Governor Adams said yesterday that
new building would be erected upon
the ruins Immediately. and would be
