Todd place northeast, for more than
100 years a famous Washington land

the second fire that has swept the his

not estimated, as the building was in
the course of demolition to make way
for q modern apartment building.

months. and has been q playhouse for
children by day and a rendezvous for
tramps by night. Police believe last

brought several pieces of apparatus to
the scene and the blaze soon was under
control. Fireman r. E. Fennelly, at
tached to No. IL Engine Company, Sus-
tanned a slight injury to his hand while
hosting a hose when he scratched 1t
against q nail. He was treated at Cas-
ualty Hospital.

for many years housed the Gale family.
Before the World War it was used as a
seminary for young women, Washington
College. In the World War 1t was taken
over by the telephone company as

AMBULANCE CALL
FAILURE PR0BED
Aid Sought for B. A. BurIeSon,
Stricken With Hemorrhages
Last Night.

The failure Of an Emergency Hospital
ambulance to respond to a call at 1924
California street early last night. where
Benjamin A. Burleson. "a years old, was
Ill, was under investigation today.
Lacking definite information prior to
questioning the internes who were on
duty at the time. and the telephone
operator who took the eau, B. B. Sand
idge. superintendent OF Emergency,
voiced the opinion that mix-up over
the call slip on which the ambulance
should have gone out was responsible.
Mr.. Sandidge was in communication
this morning with Woodbury. Blair,
president of the hospital board, and 1t
was said a thorough inquiry would be
made. and that a statement would be
issued in explanation.
Stricken With HemOrrhages.
Burleson was stricken with hem
orrhages shortly after o'clock. Edwin
L. Knarr of 1926 California street, at
tempted to get doctor, but none could
be found who were not engaged. He
eventually called the eighth precinct,
from where a call went to Emergency.
At the same time, Pvt. D. A. Davis
of No. was sent to the Burleson
home.
Davis report says that the ambulance
was called at $40 and had not ar
rived at $50.
Both he and Knarr are said to have
called the hospital in the interim and
to have been informed that the am
bulance was en- route.
In the meanwhile. DR.. Francis A.
st. Clair of 1853 Clifton street was
summoned and treated Burleson.
The record at Emergency shows the
call received at 5:33, that it was re-
sponded to, and the patient treated at
home at 6:04.
Delayed Getting Doctor.
1t is known at the hospital that
there was some delay in getting a doc
tor, and it is thought that when the
cali slip was given to one inferno by
the switchboard operator who took it,
he gave 1T to another inferno, who
was busy ON a case and did not make
the trip. After a call has been attend
ed to. these slips 60 back to the oper-
ators to complete their records, and 1t
is assumed that In some way or other
this slip got back, and the girl thought
the case had been cared for and made
her entry accordingly.
The misunderstanding may have been
aided, it is said, by the chance that
two operators had handled the case,
due to shifts changing for the supper
hour.
Burleson, q salesman, has recovered
this morning, though he said he still
is weak.
