BALTIMORE POST SUFFERED GREAT
 LOSS FROM FIRE
Building Was Gutted But the Paper Came Out as Baltimore Sun Offered Its Plant to NeighbOr

Baltimore, Jan 2-- UP)-- Fire that destroyed the four-story build ing of the Baltimore Post last night, resulting in the death of one man and slight injuries to four others. failed to prevent publication of that newspaper today.
 Through the courtesy of the Bal timOre Sun, which offered the use of its plant when it became known that the Posts structure and ma chinery were completely ruined, the Post, Scripps- Howard paper, i'm mediatelv was enabled to transfer It's operations and prepare for the days publication.
 meanwhile. began consideration of plans to ensure uninterrupted puD- lication of the newspaper.
 Joseph +. Douglass, a linotype operator, was killed when he leaped from a third story window just as firemen were raising ladder to the walls. Yearly a score of other em- ployes escaped by way of the rear fire escape. A fireman, George Yeager, and three Post employees, were slightly cut and bruised.
 The night force had just taken it's place in the composing room, fol- lowing completion of the final edi- ton of the day. when smoke was seen coming through the floor. at 6:45 D. m. Whether the smoke came from a photographers room on the second floor, or from the elevator shalt to the basement, could not be determined.
 As the employees fled, the fire spread by way of the shaft. and flames shot high in the air. Within 0 few minutes the entire upper part of the building was ablaZe. The heavy composing-room machinery crashed through to the basement shortly after the fire gained full headway, ruing valuable machinery below.
 Five alarms were sent in, and the firemen arrived in time to present the blaze from spreading to adjoin- ing buildings, although at times they were ignited by sparks.
 Occurring in the downtown busi- ness section. at Hanover and Lom- bard streets, the blaze attracted hundreds of spectators, and was ex- tremely spectacular. The exact amount of the damage can not he estimated until after q survey had been completed today.
 Andrew D. Brashear is editor of the paper. and Urban J. kraemer is | business manager.

SIX LANDLORDS FINED FOR DELINQUENCY
YOUNG ORTHWETN
 OF BUSCH FAMILY
 COMES BACK HOME
Kidnapped l3-Year-OId Lad Returns - Family Will Give Out No Details of How He Was Saved

St Louis. Mo, Jan 2.-(UP)- Adolphus Busch Orthwein. 13, who is destined to inherit more than $50,O00, 900 was safe to-day at the estate of his grandfather after spending almost "A hours with kid naper.
 Mystery surrounded his return to his parents, who were determined to keep q promise which they broadcast many times on New Years day, that "any amount" would be paid for the boys release land no questions asked"
 Adolphus was not harmed by his abductor.
 A belief that the kidnapping was merely an incident to the robbery of the Orthwein chauffeur was ex- pressed by members of the family. Attorneys declared no ransom had been paid.
 Although tired, Adolph himself was willing to talk after his return late yesterday, but was prevented by his parents and their attorneys from saying anything which might in- criminate anyone or reveal the de- tails of the release agreement.
 The boy was kidnapped on New Years eve by a man who held up Roy Yowell. the Orthwein chauf- feur, as Yowell was driving out of the Orthwein estate. Yowell be- lieved the man was q negro, but Adolphus did not know.
 '"Then he drove me back and forth" the boy told newspapermen last night in giving censored ac- count of his adventure.
 Finally" he said. "I got lost. We went with the light on the car out for maybe 10 miles and then the man made me get into another auto mobile. He had his collar around his face and I couldn't tell whether he was q negro or white man. couldn't identify him now. He took me to a house and made me put on a black hood. It had a little hole In it and l could breathe, but 1 couldn't see. He made me lie blanket over me so I couldn't see. 1 saw the man in the house. but he had hood over his head then" Harry Troll, attorney for Mir and Mrs Pery J. Orthwein, Adolphus' parents, gave an incomplete account of the release.
 About all l can say is that the transaction to get back the boy came about through connection made 30 years ago." said Troll.
 The Othweins received telephone call yesterday at D. m. informing them that Adolphus was safe, Troll said. Troll and Orthwein left soon afterward, held a conference at the sheriff's office and at 2 o'clock Orth- vein left to get his son, whom he found trudging along a road near the estate of his millionaire grand father, August Busch, the former brewer. This estate once was owned by President U. s. Grant. Well, here I am, and I'm glad to be back" Adolphus told his mother upon his return. He looked tired and his long trousers. the first pail he ever had worn. were wrinkled Adolphus admitted that he was | frightened when the kidnaper took $5 away from Yowell and then forced the chauffeur from the car and drove away.

Park Kinks Thrown
 Open To Skaters
Sport Gets Away to Late Start-Ice in Excellent
 Condition

It was stated at the park depart ment office that this is the first time in many years that skating opened to the public so late in the season.
 Last year showed the skating sea- son making a late entrance. It did not start until Christmas day while this year. New Years day made its appearance before the sport was of- fered to the fans.
 The park pool at Hamilton was frozen over long time ago, but the ice was not of sufficient thickness to warrant the superintendent to allow youngsters to go on.
 Fulton Park. which has a natural pool, was also frozen over quite some time ago, but as this is dan gerous if the ice Is not thick enough to insure perfect safety, it was kept closed until yesterday.
 Riddles. who don't go back to school until next Monday. will have several days of skating unlnterrupt- ed by studies.
