said to-night that he believed I ha.'. Its
? ?untents would be safe. Three streams
of water were played upon the vault
all day, and the freezing weather
quickly coated It with Ice.
Although tho loss of the ologr-iphy,
of E. IJ. llarrlman, which was about!
to be printed, scemB Irretrievable, re-1
cords of the Hnrrlman lines may be'
saved if their vaults on the third and

The loss to the Lawyera' (.'lub, on the
fifth and sixth tloors, one of tho most
luxuriously furnished clubs In the city,'
will be irreparable. A law library of
more than 10.000 volumes, many of
which were priceless and cannot be
replaced, was destroyed. The flehte?
consumed also tho law and InsuranceI
library of the Equitable Society, said'
t<i be the most complete collection of
Insurance literature in tho world. |
Pioneer of present day skyscrapers
construction In New York City, the
Equitable building was begun shortly
.ifter the Civil War and extended and
enlarged until in 1*SS it covered almost
tho entire block bound* 1 by Uroad- ,
way. Cedar. Pine and Nassau Streets
and stood eipht stories high.
Of granite exterior, the structure!
nevertheless was not fireproof, while,
within, winding corridors and wooden
partitions made almo3t ideal conditions
for spread of flames, as to-day's lire
plainly proved.
Coaled With Ice.
Hud It not been for the llreproof
construction of buildings surrounding
the Equitable, there is little doubt in
the opinion of fire Commissioner John?
son that With the sixty-mile gale glow?
ing, a great conflagration would have
resulted. Tho adjoining buildings
however. proved effective vantage
points from which to pour streams upon
the burning roof.
Within n few hours structures on
all sides wore coated with lco frozen
from the wind driven spray, and it
seemed as if a crystal city stood
gleaming In tho sun. Firemen worked
with their coats sheathed In lco and
tho engines were covered with a white
frosting. One of the most dangerous
ordeals the firemen Tiad to face was
the necessity of fighting the flames,
amid showers of granite chips, many I
of them large enough to .-rush a nun
to death, which pooled off the facade
of the building when subjected to the
Intense heat on one side and ley cold
<>n the other.
Aided by searchlights from the'
lofty Singer Building. which were j
'.ruined upon the gutted structure,
(Ironien began .1 systematic search of .
the third lloor to-night for the body
of Battalion Chief Walsh. Masses of
iee covering the debris made their
work exceeding difficult with llttlo
prospeot that the body could be found
until the Ice had been cut away.
The coating of ice. according to Fire
Chief Kenlon to-nltrht. was all that
was holding the weakened walls of the
structure together In some places, and
he expressed the fear that as soon as
this icy ccmont melted the remainder
"f tho building might collapse.

Pertinent Comment
By GUS MALBERT.
Lee Park will be the name of Rtch
mond's newest home for baseball, this
r.aino being decided upon yesterday at
a conference of the men who aru di?
rectly Interested. The day was largely
spent In forming plane of Incorpora?
tion, talking over prospects and ar?
ranging mutters so that when the time
arrives nothing will have been left
undone. A considerable portion of tho
ilny was giv?:ii to the Corporation Com?
mission. A suitable corporate num.'!
must be selected, and, at the same
time, conflict must not he made with!
other corporate bodies to which char?
ters have been Issued. |
In order to definitely locate the new
park und for the benefit of the hun?
dreds of fnns who are anxious to
Itnuw, a trip was made to the lot yes-i
lerdny by the writer. He found it
opposite tho plant of the Richmond
Forglngs Corporation, on the car line
leading to the Fair Grounds. It Is,
even covered with snow, un Ideal site
for a ball park. Bigger than Bruad
Street Park, It has a gradual natural .
slope, which should bo a great aid I
when the draining question Is con- |
sldered. It Is. understood that ar-,
langements have been made with the
Virginia Railway and Power Company
to run all cara to tho park when games
are being played.
The one good feature, from the les?
see's standpoint, is that a permanent
lease could be obtained. On all Broad
Street sites viewed the only kind of
a lease which was offered was one
which had a clause providing that tlie
lesse e- must vacate whenever the owner
notified. As the United States League
expects to be a permanent organization,
and us Richmond 1? looked upon as
one of the best towns In that or?
ganization, the owners of the Rich?
mond franchise will build a plant of,
a typo needed by n team In a league
Playing the quality of baseball wTllch
the new league will offor. Therefore,]
no chances could be taken when It I
came to securing 11 park, for a baseball
plant, properly constructed means an
Investment of several thousand dol?
lars.
Owr?er Bradley, the man who con
Joe Boehlmg
He wits signed .Holiday by Clark?
Griftith for the ? Washington club. He
la a southpaw, and was the best among
the local amateurs last season.
trolb the Richmond franchise in the
Virginia Stute League, had nothing to
say last night relative to the new
league, though, by Inference, he clearly
let i the impression that he did not
regard the organization at a periuu
nent affair. He nidn'l put It into words,
but he left tho Impression that ho
looked upon the Intruders us a choice!
variety of solicitor? who were com- j
inc. to Richmond to seek Investors in I
a proposition Which bad little to of
fer tlie investor.
However, Ernest C. Landgraf, t'.io
man who will look after the playing
end of the Richmond team, looks like
he means business. Jacob O. Ui/.nrou?.
the financial end u.' the partnership',
likewise lnoku real. At any rale they
have invested considerable money ntid
are ready to put up more. They cau
hardly wait until the snow leaves the
ground In order to begin work. Al?
ready contractors huvj neeh visited and
estimates secured for rearing the
stands needed to take care of t'.ioj
crowdB.
"Somehow or oilier there bee-ma toi
be an Impression gSlnlng ground thai i
wo aro horo to fight the Virginia I
League," said Mr. Landgraf, in talKingj
over the situation. "I hate to repent i
so often, but a more mistaken idea
could not have been gained. I know!
Mr. Bradley and entertain for hlni i
the highest regard. He has always!
treated me fairly in every transaction !
1 have and with him. I sincerely hope I
that next season will be tho most pros
perdue he has over had. We will not '
conflict with him except when we urej
in Richmond. We will be a way from
home half of the time, while he will
be here every Thursday, Friday ami
Saturday.
"This idea of untagonlBm. or thuii
any Individual or set of Individuals j
has, by divino right, the aole privilege i
of giving buacbull in any given locality!
Is pure nonsense. If I urn In business]
in a city block and some one wishes
to enter the same line of business
in the satno block, have 1 the rlgnt to
tell my prospective neighbor that no
hasn't the right to compote with me
in thut block, because 1 have it pro?
tected? It is poppygosh. We are light?
ing no one. In fact, two entirely dif?
ferent quulltlcs of basobuil goods v/ill
be offered, and we are going to leave
it to the fans which brand they want
or whether they want both. To show
tho way I feel toward the Richmond
club und tho Virginia League, If I
have a player I cun't use, I will be only
too glad to turn him over to thu Rich?
mond team or any otber team in the
Virginia ]>;ague wonting him. It's
simply n question of live and let live.
That's nil thero is to It."
Landgraf, during the course of con?
versation, remarked that In New York
certain enemies of tho new league had'
spread the rumor that It was being or?
ganized simply for the purpose .of
blackmailing the owners of clubs al
icady In organized baseball. "That's i
the basest fabrication that was ever;
Invented," hu said. "So far as I am I
concerned, I wouldn't right now part
with my Richmond franchise for gl0'"?,
eOO Th.it might sound like Idg talk,
but It's just the way I feel about it.
\\e would much rather have our
strength underestimated than over?
estimated. To he held til contempt is
already half u victory."
If present plans carry the United
States League will begin its season
about May 1, The reason for tho late
opening la because some of ihe parks
may not be ready In time. Another
reason Is that a schedule will not bo
adopted until after the big leagues
huvo named their playing dates, for
Hid very , obvious reason that conflict?
ing dates will lie avoided in the cities
in which big league names are already
being played. Richmond's mnnngcr
I will in rive some time before April 1.
Players will report a few days thoro
i after. PJttaburg will train at Newport
