CAPITOL FIRE RISK
TO Be ELIMINATED
Documents in Which Recent
Blaze Originated viii &c
Stored Elsewhere.

The fire hazard caused by the stor-
age of old documents in the attic of the
Capitol. where last nights fire spread
from an artists studio, soon will be
eliminated without any call upon Con-

construction. because 1t is proposed to

did a wonderful job" said Mr.. Lynn
today. He emphasized that If the fire
had been allowed to spread among the
many thousands of tinderlike docu-
ments, which have grown brittle with
age through storage on open shelves,
that a very serious fire must have re-
suited, which would have caused great
damage to the historical Capitol Build
ing. Under very difficult circum-
stances, having to carry the hose up
two fights of narrow winding stairs
and around several corners, the fire.

combining the fire to the model room
and in getting it so promptly under
control" said Mr.. Lynn. He said the
work Of the firemen cannot be too
strongly praised.

flremen tonight than on any other job
they ever tackled" said Chief Engineer

"Old Library Space
At Capitol Scene of
3 Previous Blazes
Volumes Destroyed in
1872 and Later in
1925 and 1851.

The Capitol fire last night was in the
"old library space" which has previously
been the scene of three serious fires.
During the War Of 1912, when the
Library Of Congress. established in 1900,
consisted of modest collection of some
1000 volumes, it was destroyed. It had
been housed in a wooden passageway
where the rotunda now is. When the
Capitol was burned by order of Admiral
Cockburn these books were used as
kindling for the north wing.
Upon learning of that disaster Thomas
Jefferson, then living in retirement at
Monticello, offered to the Goernment
his own private library of $500 volumes,
at cost price, $23,700. This offer was
accepted by Congress
Twice again the Library Of Congress,
while housed in the central wing of the
Capitol, suffered from fire. on Deem
Der %, 1925. and much more seriously
on December "a, 1851, when more than
half the books, including two thirds of
the Jefferson collection, were destroyed
That fire was discovered by the great
statesman Edward Everett, who was
browsing in the library.

But let's be good sports and admit
1t, boys, we need rain. This Is not
just an admission, will make 1t a
motion, that it be called a prayer,
take 1t from taxpayer and a man
that still has vacant lots to sell. It
hasn't rained here since Noah took
two of every kind of moving picture
actor and actress into the ark with
him. Moths have lived on raincoats
for years. They revived the great
stage play Of Rain" and had a foot
note telling the audience what it
was that was dripping outside. This

but one company were relieved and sent
back to their stations.
During the entire time the blaze was
shooting from the roof large American
flag f1oated majestically in the breeze
from the roof nearby, enveloped in
smoke and lighted by the great electric
flood lights that played on the dome
While the firemen inside the building
had great difficulty getting to the fire
through the darkened passages, those
on the roof worked in light almost as
bright as day. When the fire was out
the nag was still flying over the black
ened spot in the roof.
Before the fire was out two MARYLAND
fire companies arrived on the scene
ready to give aid, if needed. They were
from Greater Capitol Heights and
Boulevard Heights.
Almost as soon as the first fire ap-
paratus arrived police reserves from
the fifth precinct were on the ground
They assisted the firemen to get the
nose onto the roof and up the steps
into the rotunda.
Apparatus Fills Plaza.
The fire apparatus occupied nearly
the entire plaza east of the Capitol and
much of the parkway between the Capt.
tol and the Library of Congress.
Mr.. Lynn paid a high tribute to
the nremen Tor the efficient manner
In which they attacked the fire ano
extlnguished it before it spread to other
parts of the building. While the docu-
ments which were destroyed or dam
aged were Of little value and duplicates
OF them are stored elsewhere, the fire.
II unchecked, might easily have reached
other documents of more value stored
nearby.
For time, with the flames mount
ing upward at the base of the dome.
1t looked as If that great structure, so
often pictured as a symbol of the
United States Government, was threat
ened with destruction or serious dam
age. But. since the dome Is constructed
OF iron, there was no real danger or
this, although it might have been
moke-blackened and otherwise dam
aged on the outside, if the fire had
not been put out promptly.
The fire was out As minutes after
the f1rst alarm and within Is minutes
after the water from several hose lines
began to play upon it. On the west
Moberly's room adjoined a runway I'M
der the caves. Much water settled in a
vat In the floor of this runway, and
when the fire was out Chief Watson
set his men to work bailing it out and
sweeping water down the winding stairs
and from the main floor corridors out
into the street
