'All the employes of the laundry were
at lunch when the fire broke out. " It Is
supposed- that lint, which sometimes ac
cumulates around the. pipes, ignited and
set fire to the clothes. .The woodwork
and clothes'were highly inflammable ow
ing to the constant heat and burned like

• Major Hooper says his loss will approxi

material on the : first floor and some of
the walls and floors were torn by the
firemen's axes in their effort to locate tho
flre. • \u25a0
Three firemen were overcome by smoke
— Daugherty and Conlan of engine 2 and
Freeman of the fire patrol. Freeman was
caught In the basement and was brought
out of his perilous position through a hole
chopped in the sidewalk. .
When Chief Sullivan responded to the
first alarm the smoke was bo dense that
entrance to the basement where the fire
was burning was almost impossible. The
firemen were unable for many minutes
to determine the exact location of the
fire. Whether it was creeping up between
the walls, as was indicated by the smoke,
could not be told. The Chief, in a quan
dary as to the extent of the blaze, ordered
a second alarm rung in and the firemen
set to work with a will. Sections of the
barroom floor, were chopped out and'vol
umes of water directed into, the base
ment. : -. . • .
Despite the efforts of the firemen, the
smoke thickened and the building became
almost completely enveloped. The Chief
then turned in a" third alarm, and an
other relay of engines' hurried to the flre.
A circulator was then set to work. This
piece, of serviceable apparatus had been
in use -but a short time when it reached
the blaze and the danger was pronounced
past. The room in which the flre started
was walled by brick, making It difficult
for the water to reach it. It contains the
steam pipes for drying the clothes. •

Police Officers l Kd j Leonard, Tom . "Walsh
and- James \u25a0 Farrel were quickly on the
scene and rendered excellent service in
the' streets,' keeping the more excited off
the flre escapes and quelling any dem
onstration that would be likely -to lead to
a panic As soon as the flre was under
control t order- was restored, people re
turned to their apartments and the trunks
and other personal belongings that had
been • dragged into the corridors were
taken back to their respective places. ,
The. odor of smoke, the clang of fire
apparatus and' the shouting from the
streets aroused the guests to act.on.
Many were at', lunch in the dining-room
and- they, rushed pellmell . into the lower
corridors. \u25a0 Those ; occupying rooms came
to windows and for a time appeared panic
stricken. • Some shouted to spectators be
low, but i assurances. of safety were called
back. The hotelattaches displayed great
presence of mind and as quickly as possi

Fire broke out yesterday in. the drying
room of the Occidental- Hotel laundry.
Little damage was done, but for a time
intense excitement prevailed, on the

service rendered by the Fire Department
prevented. great loss. Three alarms were
sent in by Chief Sullivan because of tha
menacing; .appearance of the blaze.

"The Arbiter of Morals" was the title
of tm address delivered last evening be
fore a large audience at Metropolitan
Temple by Re\-. Peter C. Yorke at an en
tertainment given in aid of. the clergy
house of St. Peter's parish, of which
Father Casey is pastor.
D. F. Keefe presided, and a pleasing
proijramme was rendered by Miss Des
mond, the Knickerbocker Quartet, Miss
Annie Rooney and William Ogilvie.
The address cf Father Yorke was a de
fence of his attitude in the recent labor
strikes in this city and of the stand
tak'?n by a morning newspaper. An at
tack, extreme in its vituperation, was
made by Father Yorke on Colonel John
P. Irish, who had disagreed with the
speaker's views during the labor troubles,
and shafts of denunciation were hurled
at the newspapers that deprecated the
reign of terror existing during the strikes.
In defending the "freedom of the
preiis," Father Yorke said that the op
position to yellow Journalism following
the assassination of President McKinley
was the work of competitors of the saf
fror-hued periodicals. He characterized
the world-wide storm of condemnation as
an "attempt to cut off the freedom of the
preflB."

the ordinance limiting buildings on streets
less than 100 feet wide to 100 feet in
height. Reed contended that the permit
should be granted, as it was for a worthy
improvement, and that the board had al
