is the duty of a fire chief and his subordinates not only to fight fires, I but to take steps to prevent fires by Inspecting back yards, alleys, basements and other places where trash is likely to accumulate and a cause a fire, either by spontaneous combustion or from a carelessly thrown match, cigar or cig- said J. J. Hussey, former chief of the Houston fire department and one of the best known fire fighters in Texas, in an interview given The Herald several weeks ago. Insurance men say that if this had been carried out in El Paso there would have been no fire last night. At eleven oclock last night flames leaping high into the air apparently from the center of the Van Blarcom block on the corner of Texas street and Mesa avenue, attracted people in the vicinity and an alarm was sounded.

The flames had been at w'ork for several seconds before the alarm was sounded, in fact the smoke and sparks were visible for almost a minute before the whistle blew, but fortunately they were burning in trash in the rear of the Millinery World, and brick walls surrounded them on all sides, and the firemen had them out soon after reaching the scene. A Herald man was standing in front of the Orpheum theater when the flames first made themselves manifest and it looked for all the world like a puffing locomotive. As they rapidly mounted higher and higher he started in their direction and was within half a block of the fire when the alarm sounded. The apparatus was on the scene in good time and, while there was a little confusion on the chemical wagon about getting started, very little time was lost and the men went in through the Millinery front door writh a line of chemical hose at the same time another set of firemen broke in the door of the Metropolitan barber shop and entered with water. The flames were soon subdued, although they leaped up to the second story of the Berkeley rooming house and burned into two of the rooms on the w'est side, charring the woodwork, and also burned the rear door to the millinery store into the work room.

No damage was done to the barbershop and Strelitz says that $100 will cover his damage in the Millinery World. Upstairs in the rooming house, conducted by Mrs. M. L. Hibbert, the damage to the windows, furniture, curtains, will amount to about as much.

A bird in a cage in one of the rooms was drowned or suffocated by smoke. No damage was sustained by the Van Blarcom rooming house, over the millinery store in the same building. The fire was confined to a small court in the rear of the millinery store and barber shop on the west, alongside the Berkeley on the east and behind the Hammett real estate office on the north, where it started. Arnold Strelitz, proprietor of the Millinery World, says there was a box with trash in it in this court, and also a small gasoline can with a little gasoline in it, used for cleaning in the millinery store. He does not think there could have been much gasoline, however, as it is only a half gallon can, he says, and it was almost empty.

When the firemen ran in to flght the flames, several live electric wires were exposed in this court and as the water would strike one of them, there would be a flash of light as if powder was exploding, and several people began to run, fearing that explosives were stored in the building. Fireman Harry Potter, who is also superintendent of the electric company, soon had the wires cut so that there was no further danger. The fire started in a place hard to get at and it was due the fact that it was shut up in the court between brick walls and could not get out easly that there was not a heavy loss.
