ANTI - FIRE 1S IDEA STRESSED IN NEW HOTEL Safeguards Are Provided Throughout Structure of Modern Baranof sibilities of building a highway over the roadbed of the abandoned Cop- pér River and Northwestern Rail- way. Hofman said Senator James Patterson, also of the Third Divis- jon, had received a telegram from Cordova congratulating the two Senators on having killed a simi- lar memorial which came in from the House, Election Date Killed by a four to four vote last night was a bill by Senator Roden | to change the primary election from | September to October. Fishermen, it seems, are better able to vote in Oc- tober, but trappers would rather Fire-proofing and fire protection in the new Baranof Hotel have been carried to almost apparently 100 percent protection limits, Bearing walls of reinforced con- crete rise for the entire seven- story height of the structure. Built of cement and steel, these walls are said to be absolutely impreg- nable to the attack of flame. Connecting these bearing walls and providing the numerous rooms and lobbies are a series of parti- tion walls. It is in this phase of construe- tion that the fire threat is usu- |ally evident in numerous buildings, In the Baranof these partition walls are of steel studdings, spaces filled with gypsum. So fireproof are they that the application of a blow torch fire on their surface would not institute a flame. The Senate dealt summarily with price of $720, indefinitely postponing the measure. Representative H. H. McCutch- eon’s bill to allow sale of hard liquor under club licenses was sobered up a bit by the Senate, which adopted amendments providing that only members of the club, and not “guests,” can be sold liquor under provisions of the bill. The measure will come up for final passage later. - - FIREMEN TO MEET Tonight is the regular meeting time for the Douglas Volunteer Fire Department, monthly session for HUTCHINSON T0 BE GIVEN BIG CHANCE Recruit Comes from Coast League By DILLON GRAHAM | AP Feature Service Sports Writer | NEW YORK, March 2—From the | Pacific Coast circuit comes this rookie—Freddie Hutchinson. He's just 19 and only a couple of years off the sandlots but he was voted last year's outstanding minor- leaguer. The 200-pound, 6-foot-2 right-hander won 25 games and lost 7 for Seattle and compiled an earn- ed-run average of 2.48. Pacific Coast rooters say hell make as big a splash in the American League as did Joe DiMaggio. Virtually every major-league club the bidding for this strong-armed pitcher. Just when everyone thought the Pittsburgh Pirates had him book- ed, the Detroit Tigers grabbed him for $60,000 and four players. That |was one of the highest prices ever paid for a green rookie. Other “Permanents” Some scouts doubt if he's quite Tigers, who need pitching as sore- ly as a polar bear needs ice, are going to give him every chance. Several other far westerners seem likely to grab permanent jobs. Con- nie Mack unloosed a pile of cash for Infielder Bill Lillard, who hit 335 for San Francisco, and Pitcher Rob- ert Joyce, who won 18 for Oakland. The New York Giants pitching staff, a questionable quality with the sore-armed Carl Hubbell and Hal Schumacher, hopes to use Man- uel Salvo, San Diego right-hander. This 6-foot-4 Italian ace, who won 22 and lost 9, has been the Pacific’s strikeout king for the last two sea- sons, The Boss Listens Charles English, Los Angeles third baseman who banged out 19 home runs and hit .303, has an idea he can barge into the Cincinnati in- field. Bill McKechnie's listening. Other rookie graduates include: Pitcher Henry Pippen, Sacramento, to the Philadelphia A's; Catcher George Dickey, Portland, and In- fielder Tom Carey, Hollywood, to the Boston Red Sox; Pitcher Bob Eu- gene Lillard and Infileder Glen Russell, Los Angeles, to the Chicago Cubs; and Pitcher Robert Lee Sher- rill, Catcher Herman Franks, In- fielder Joe Orengo and Outfielder | Elvin Adams, Sacramento, to the St. Louis Cardinals. -os EEL BUSINESS CLOSES DOWN, LONDON, March 2—A five- centuries old Dutch eel business in | London his closed down. and two' Dutch “eei schuyts” moored at {London bridge have been sold and put to other uses. | The business commenced around | the ‘year 1412.
