A vacant lot, the site of the new Union Depot, kept the fire from spreading northward. The Chicago River rung a block east of the burned district, but would have afforded little protection had the wind veered the sweep of the flames toward the main business section. Heat from the burning buildings cracked out the windows of the Mer cantile Trust and Savings Bank, across the street, before the Burling: ton Building itself was afire. A heavy police guard was thrown about the bank, but was driven away quickly when the building caught fire. Cash and securities valued at approximately $6,000,000 are said to be in the bank's vaults, und ft may be several days be- fore they can be examined. Employees of the Burlington Butld- ing. proved themselves heroes. They volunteered to run elevators carrying the firemen to the roof to fight the flames. ‘ Floor by floor the elevators, crowd- ed with firemen and equipment, slowly steppes as the flames spread downward.

State Superintendent of Insurance Francis R. Stoddard made no secre\ of his opposition to the proposed measure and openly lobbied against it on the floor of the Senate. He nas the privilege of the floor as a State officer, but not the privilege of lobby- ing against any bill under discusstoa. When the fight was over there wasn't a majority either way, for the vote stood 24 in fayor and 24 against, Senator Ward Tolbert of New York moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill was lost, and that the motion lie on the table. This means that he can call it up again at any time he wishes, but friends of the bill admit that the chance of its getting through is small.
