The picturesque Glen Echo Cafe, one af the most attractive resorts about Washington, now remains in memory only, for about 2:30 o'clock this morning it took fireand within an hour was totally destroyed. Glen Echo Cafe was beautifully situated on the Conduit road about five miles beyond George- town on an eminence commanding an unbroken view of the Potomac and the Virginia hills for miles. The ~ originality of — the structure, both a8 to architecture and material, made it one of the most unique public honses in this country or abroad, Un- jewn cedar logs were alone used for the ex- terior and interior excepting the ficors and trimmings. Around the sides of the build- ing winding steps of unhewn cedar logs led to attractive towers far above the house proper, in which open towers al fresco dinners were served to small ‘ier. The handsome port cochere escaped the fury of the flames, as did the resque gateway. On the ate of this populer Toad setae nee only stands an immense stone.chimney. THE INMATES ESCAPED. There were in the house at the time Mr. Ed- win Baltzley, his wife, two children, Mr. Baltz- ley’s sister and about eight or ten servants and employes, all of whom oseaped. Nothing worthy of mention was saved, and the fleeing ones had to make good their retreat in their night olothes. Mr. Ellwood Hallowell, the architect of “Pat- tawomeck,” was seen by a Srax reporter this morning nursing a broken foot, which injury he had received while trying to save something from the flames, Mr. Hallowell told’ the reporter that the building cost fully £75,000, embracing the elec- trie plant. ‘The building of this cafe was be- gun in February, 1490, and for four months stendy work wan done upon it. Sixty car- penters were employed, and some time in July the house was opened for the reception of guest. In the construction of this resort Mr. Hallowell informed the reporter that 40,000 sticks of cedar were used, and that each stick was taken off the promises or immediate vicitity. There were in the “Pattawomeck” at least twenty rooms, besides the large dining hall, which was 100 feet long by 40 fect wide, which could easily accommodate several hundred guests. “Every precantion was taken a the place,” said Mr, Hallowell, tro located that the precautions could not be used.” Amid the network of pipes and coils an iron safe stands, which contains about £175, all that was eaved from the fire. Near by lies a tray upon which is placed several cream jug spoons, forks and nut crackers. The boiler was not totally destroyed, but is greatly warped. It is the intention of Mr. Baltzy to erect at once a pavilion upon this site, and to grade and transform the forest around into a park. It is quite certain that before a great while there will be another Glen Echo Cafe, Dut it will be erected out of less perishable material. WHAT MR. BALTZLEY SAYS. Mr. Edwin Ealtzley, who, in connection with his brother Edward, is the proprietor of the cafe, and the owner of a large tract of the nd- joining country known as Glen Echo Heights, wus found this morning in his office in the Sun building. He was without a collar and hia clothes " were selectic from such odd garments as he was able to [roe up in the hurry of getting out of the burning building. In spite of the misfortune, which he has suffered, he was in good spirits and spoke more of his plans for repairing the damage than of the disaster last night. His account of the fire was given in a few words. He spent last night in company — with the managers of the cafe, Messrs. Burch and | Friebley sitting before a wood fire which burned in the large brick fire place in the main hall of the building. His wife, sister, her children. and maid, were in their rooms in one of the pavilions connected with the main building Dy (a. passage way. ‘The cook 2 her waiters were asleep in their rooms below the main hall, About 11:30 the three gentlemen concluded to go to bed. Before retiring Mr. Baltzley says that he went down stairs to the kitchen, which is under the main hall, to see that everything was in proper shape. He noticed that the range, which was connected with the sume chimney, as the fire- place in the mzin hall contained ‘a small fire and that the «mall fire for the boilers located on the outside of the building had been drawn. ‘The wood fire in the big itreplace had also died down to a few embere.. ‘This was the condition, Mr. Baltzley says, when he and his companions retired for the night. THE ALARM. Everybody in the building was in a sound sleep when about 2:30 o'clock an alarm of fire was sounded. Mr. Baltzley was awakened by his sister coming to his bed room and arousing him with the _ intelligence that the place was on _ fire. He | at once sprang from his bed and rushing out took in the situation st a glance. ‘The main building was even then wrapped in flames. He saw that no time was to be lost. Quickly returning to his apartments he carried his two children out, followed by the other members of the family. ‘They were all in their night clothes. As soon as they had reached a place of sfety Mr. Baltrley hurried back and threw clothes and blankets out of the window. In the meantime the — cook, who it iw thonght was the first one about the building to awaken, had jumped out the window and in her haste rolled down the steep embankment nearly to the ize of the canal. She aroused the waiters and they got out of the windows without wait- ing to dress. It was A SHIVERING GROUP that stood ont in the chill night air and watched | the beautiful spectacle of the burning bqilding. | Mr. Buitzley says that it was the grandest sight he ever saw. ‘The building, as stated, was | constructed almost ‘entirely of cedar trees which were used in their natural state. ‘The 1 wae inflammable and the fire xpr b rapidity that in about an hour noth . he said, wae left of the picturesque structure with its pavilions but a heap of ashes and charred “wood. No part was left stand- ing except the porte cochere, which ix a short distance from the building’ and the stove Mr. Daltzley distributed the clothing he had among his shivering compan- entice party returned to the city in the tally ho which happened to be there.

Many of the as- sessor’s suggestions have already been printed in Tue Stan. During the year there were 698. bar room li- censes and 435 wholesale licenses issued. Speak- ing of the liquor traffic he says: “Public interest in reference to the liquor traffic increases with each year and the merits and details of any proposition looking to its control are subjected to severe scrutiny. It is neither the province nor desire of this office to esta policy in dealing with this all-important uestion. Nevertheless, recognizing its oxistence, without pre- judice or ttempting ite discussion from a moral st indpoint, the fact remains that the traffic is recognized by law, and vested right no less than glaring wrongs require a wise dis- cretion in its enforcement. Both public senti- ment and licy require a restriction of the traffic within certain bounds and under such regulations as will conserve the interests of the “Limiting the issue of retail licenses to a cer- tain number is objectionable from the fact that it subjects the authorities granting licenses to the charge of unjaxt discrimination. It is re- spectfuily suggested that the desired result can be better “xccomplished by the ge of a law imposing a license tax of 2500 for bar rooms, embodying such rules and im- posing such penaltics for their violation as will revent illegal trafic. Authority giving the Commissioners absolute power to issue or re- voke a license might be confirmed by Co: ‘The laws of the late corporations of Washing: ton, Georgetown and levy court create confusion and embarrassment in regulat- ing this trafic. Proper legislation would remedy this. The increase in the number of clubs would seem to indicate that « portion of our citizens at least are paying greater atten- tion to literary pursuits. “Complaint is made by interested parties of unfair competition. Without desiring to interfere with private rights itis difficult to see why an incorporated body should possess the right to dispense liquors to its members (however large) for profit while the individual is denied the same privilege ex- cept under legal restriction. ‘The trafic in liquor by wholesale under the present law classifies all dealers by the amount of capital invested in the business. This is not satisfac- tory. A GRADED LICENSE. “It is believed that a graded license gov- cerned by the number of gallons authorized by one sale would produce better results. ‘These dealers are really divided into three classes: Those who scll in large quantities, by the barrel and gallon, thoze who sell bottled goods as merchandise and in buik not less than a: pint, and the bottlers for home consumption. ‘The bulk of trattic by grocers is in wines, liquors and beer by the bottle. ‘The consumption of the latter is indicated by the representation here of breweries from Buffalo, Rochester, N. Y.; Phil- adelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, St. Louis, Alexandria and Ogdensburg, N. “Apothecaries have the right to sell under their license liquors for me only and in quant cceding one-half pint. It is believed that most dealers are con- rcientious in observance of the law, neverthe- less there is no dobut that it is violated by some, and it is & question Hane the law gov. erning these ral is not subject to improve- meenl,’-Many dealers secure a Cholenale fheeuss for the privilege of selling by the bottle. VIOLATIONS OF LAW. A “There is little trouble from violation of the liquor luws by reputable dealers, but the ree- ords of our courts show that many who are denied « license continue the illegal trafic notwithstanding. ‘The prosecution of these cases necessitates the production of num- erons records and documents, _com- pels the attendance of — the ’ license clerk at the trials and by that fact ham~ ers the work of the office. Should a new law e enacted it ix hoped that a sworn affidavit of astatemens of facts may be accepted as evi- dence. GENERAL LICENSES. During the year there were eighty-five hotels licensed and this number is further augmented by a vast number of boarding houses, apart- mient houses and flats, and he suggests that leg- islation be enacted uiring all boarding house- keepers who solicit public patronage to reg- ister by the payment of a nominal fee, eo that in the future the capacity of, the city to entertain strangers could approximately be determined. He rays the stutus of apartment houses and flats as distinguished from hotels shonld be more clearly defined, and that lodging houses should De registered and placed under police super- vision. During the year 262 licenses for eat- ing houses were issued. He suggests reform in the license tax for this class of places. ‘There were 522 licensed vehicles during the year and 62 licensed stables. THE TAX ON TANKERS. “Among the many needs of reforms in the license laws,” the aswessor says, “the tax upon bunkers deserves attention. The national banks pay no license tax, the private instit tions are tew, while the so-called bankers many. Most of the business done by the latter is really that of brokers, and they should pay the same tax as reul estute agent Four hundred and three licenses were issued to strect hucksters. ‘The assessor recommends that tie amount of tax on hucksters should be reduced to 315. Wagons and push carts for the conveyance of bagguge should be licensed and numbered. Means of identity would thus be secured where property is en- truxted to their charge. ‘The assessor expresses the opinion that to tax produce dealers in the | market, while dealers in other merchandise are exempt is wrong. ‘The license tax of 350 on pedifers, he urges, should either be reduced or abolished, as it is excessive. THE PAWNBROKERS, “It will be observed,” he says, “that our net decrease of revenues during the year was 1,791.76. This amount would hate been more han offset by collections under the old law from pawnbrokers, Our deficit this year is | £1,900, owing to the passage of the new law. It decreases the ues, throws the borrowing class who patronize them upon the mercy of nd-hand dealers and has no compensating advantagos, A radical change in this respect is desirable.” INSURANCE COMPANIES. Under the head of insurance he says: “That the number of companies doing business here ig increasing is evident from the reccipta, the mount from this source with proper legis- lation might be doubled. The question of a separate bureau has been agi- tated, but its need is not as apparent as sound and comprehensive insurance laws. Legislation on this question has heretofore been lamentably detective.
