a INSURANCE L005 IN BALTIMORES75,000 000 Fifty Representatives of Many Com- panies To-day Fix Amount —Actual Loss Is Computed to Be $125,000,000 — Watchman Die s at His Post. (Special to The Evening World.) BALTIMORE, Feb. 9.—After a long session, held in the Lenox Hotel to- @ay, the insurance men, all of whom have been burned out, fixed the loss to the insurance companies In the big fire At $75,000,000, ‘This fixes the actual loss, according to the method of computa- tion, at about $125,000,000, There were fifty representatives of insurances companies at the meeting. Some men represented as many as fif-| teen companies, foreign, domestic and local. They all agreed that the com- panies were ready and willing to pay dollar for dollar for every loss. “We can stand the loss,” said Paul Turner, of the German-American Com- pany, Chairman of the Committee. Every company ts ready to pay the full adjustment of all losses. Others ap- pointed on’ the general adjustment company are M. O. Selden, North British and Mercantile Company, Treas- urer; A. B, Kreamer, Liverpool and London and Globe; Edward B, Creigh- ton, New Hampshire; Jdseph M. By- gert, Aetna; R. C. Christopher, Cale- donia; EB, E. Parsichall, Home, New York; J. 8. Catanach, Hartford. Insurance Men Optimistic. The committee decided to establish a elearing-house for the adjustment of losses. J. H. McClellan, editor of the Baltimore underwriters, expressed his ¥Fopinion at the meeting as to the loss. He fixes it at $75,000,000. The insurance men when they met wert not downcast. They laughed and joked about the losses as though they were a mere bag- atelle. Nothing can be done in the way of adjusting the losses until the steel gafes of insured and insurer are dug out, The Baltimore insurance rates have been lower than that fixed for any other city in the United States, and yet. many persons have criticised the Fire Department since Chiet McAfee ‘was turned out, because he had ideas ‘and wanted to spend money for more tire apparatus, ‘Watchman Dies at His Po: ‘The hero of the fire was a watchman {im the Mercantile Bank. His name fsn't known, but he, stood to hia post until Geath came. “L saw him standing inside the grating oor of the bank," Chief Emerick said to-day, "and I begged him to come out. {He refused. ‘My duty Is to stay here,’ he sald. ‘Iam here to guard this money, and I will guard it with my life.’ “We found his body,” the Chief con- tinued, ‘and it was {dentified as that of a fireman from York, Pa.” ‘No one seemed to know the watch- man by any other name than ‘Jim,’ Ho wasn't married and no one seems to know where he lived. Emerich Prainen Our Firemen, While supervising the "cleaning-up work" on the basin front Chief Howe received a visit from Chief Emerick, of ; the local department. | Chief Emerick | asked Chief Howe to line up his men, then addressing them Chief Emerick sald: ‘Mr. Howe, I cannot say too much in praing of the great work performed by the New York firemen. Human beings eould do no more than you and your braye men have done. a “You have stopped the fire, you have saved us hundreds of thousands of dol- lara by your ready grasp of the situation and keen perception of the needed remedy, To those on the scene, % our own brave boys who fought the dhmes so vallantly and to the business nen of this community that means more than words can express, In my words of praise for your grand work I express the gratitude of all Baltimoreans and 1 assure you that we never shall forget the debt we owe you and Mayor Mc- Clellan for so quickly answering our prayer for help.” Chief Emerick added that the grati- tude he had expressed to Chief Howe would be sent in writing to Fire Com- missioner Hayes by the citizens of the elty. Worst Fire Howe Ever Saw. When Chief Emerick had finished Chief Howe sald: “This is the worst fire I have ever Howe sald it was out of the question. ‘We must go back,” Chief Howe said, “and take up our where we left off when you sent for us.” As a result of the visit of the New York men the Baltimore department will be thoroughly reorganized on the Unes of the department of the metropo- ls. The work of the New Yorkers was a revelation to Baltimoreans and just 4s soon as the Monumental City gets settled at least one engine on the style of No. 16.will be purchased. All night long Battalion Chief John P, Howe and his men from the New York Fire Department kept pouring streams of water upon the ruins of the $10,000,000 conflagration, and {t was not until the morning there was no longér need of their services, That big domestic and foreign com- panies will be hit hard there {s no’ doubt. Most of the risks, however, were carried by the local companies. At the first sign of dawn crowds hur- ried through the streets to look at the ruins. A complete fire line of militia had been established the day before. Nearly every one had to walk. The trolley cars were still badly crippled, although several lines were open. The cab horses had worked so hard yesterday that few were able to leave their stalls. The drivers, too, rested. Many had made more money in two days and two nights than they had ever before realized in a month. They had charged fabulous prices, $1 a square in many instance altimore is rich. Of the 700,000 inhabitants 200,00 \ Pane are well to do and poor allens. This fact was illustrated by the cool way in which the mer- chants whose places were wiped out took the fire. Once over the first ex- citement they laughed and joked about the catastrophe. While the whole city was threatened with destruction the inhabitants wer eed the LL a Baltimore that " i Up on r woul p on the site of the fire Chief among these agitators for a handsomer and more sanitary business section of the city is Dr. James 8, O ler, Dr. Osler is an expert diagno- tclan, and one of the greatest sani- tary experts in the United States, Al- ready he has begun agitating for a complete change in the map of the business section of the city, He wants all the Httle narrow streets through which the fire swept done away with and broad thoroughfares laid out, He advocates a new building code that will permit the erection of only modern structures, and, above all, he is par- ticularly insistent upon a sewer system in the lower part of the city, It will be a month before these matters will be taken up officially. The first step in this direction was the meeting here of the Selectmen to Appropriate $100,000 for an immediate re- Uef fund, Before the New York firemen quit work they estimated that streams of water will have to be kept on the burn- ing ruins for a month at least. Every now and then a fresh fire starts up during the night and early morning. There were comparatively few lcal fire- men at work. Two hundred are in the hospitals and a hundred more are at thelr homes, nearly all overcome by smoke, Mayor McClellan at 10 o'clocit this morning received the following telegram. from the secretary to lire Commis sioner Hayes, who is in Baltimore with the New York firemen: “Men coming hone, tired but he pny.

They heard with pleasure the news that the Legislature had held a special meeting last night to extend the cal- endar of legal holidays to next Monday. ‘That will give every one an opportunity to meet all outstanding obligations. Thus far no commercial failures have been an- nounced because of the fire. Before Chief Howe and his men got through their work to-day at the Fra cls Denmead malt house at Jone Falls Mayor McLane and prominent citizens thanked them for the good work they had done In such a short time. Busi- ness men tried to persuade them to re- gaain aver and be entertained, but Chiek ave orders that the latest details from altimore be communicated to him, agen MAYOR M'CLELLAN THANKS FIREMEN. ‘That Mayor McClellan appreciates the services rendered by the gallant fire laddies sent to the Baltimore fire is evi- denced by the following letter sent to- day to Commissioner Hayes: < Feb, 9, 1904. n Nicholas J.

W111 Resume His Plans, “Ot course,” said the Chief, In answer to the reporter: ‘Il am glad to get back into the harness, I am going to take up my work just where I left it off on Dec. 1, 1902, when I was removed by the therf Fire Commissioner. “I want to say first of all that I have no personal feeling against any member of the Department who appeared against me at my trial.

The first official act of Chief Croker upon regaining his office was to rein- state his old driver, Dave Currey. When the Chief was dismissed Commissioner Sturgis shifted Currey to fire-house duty, but Deputy Chief Duane took him out and made him his driver.
