P0ST-TR1B SOOfl READY EBUSINESS Strenuous Efforte to Resume Printing hid Fair To Be Success. With Aliadla Ilk traniformatlon, t!j Oary Post-Tribune buildlnsr wfelcii suffered A disastrous ftre Iocs estimated at at Sixth aad Washing on utreet in Try Jrtrday tr.erntngr xva readjtoday fr partial occupant and plan underway to get out a elx to t!tt p paner When the flame which ravished th building: for mere than three hour were finally extinguished at 2 p. tn. workmen Immediately started to clear away te debris. Hugre pumps from the steel mill were put Into action pumplns the flra feet of freegln water out of the basement and a ran; of workmen busy boarding: up the windows and cleaning out the charred ruloi. All through the nieht they worked In shift and late today the PostTrblune horn, had undergone an unbelleveable transformation. Three of the battery of Hnotypa machines were being- cleaned oiled and put Into working chape, ready to set up news print for today's paper. According to owners of the printing plant 1 will be Impossible to make an estimate of the damage for some tibe. Owlnsr to the delicate parts of the linotype machines, the hus press and other equipment It will be impossible to estimate xialll they are thoroughly examined to see how much damage was done to them by the Intense heat and freealns: water. The fire which started In the lower part of the elevator shaft of the newspaper stock room in the basement t Us way through the entire building and It was only by the super-human work (tree chief Grant and his willing staff, that kept the building from being gutted and posibly the .destruction ot the entire block. Although attempts were made by individuals to throw discredit upon the work of the fire departments, the writer as well as hundreds of others who witnessed the stubborn conflagration are opposed to the charges and sa ythat they are very unjust.

The flra department did everything in their power and wore. Overlooking tha sero weather the water freexlng to their clothing the moment It struck fought heroically to save the building from destruction. The writer who saw tha fire department turn the oorner at Tlfta avenue and Broadway arrived at the Post-Tribune building few seconds later. The firemen were already In action. It was a short trpace of time and the casement of the building waa a roaring furnace with the smoke so heavy that it was Impossible to designate the heart of the fire. With seven streams of hose playing on the fire from every point of vantage jtey fought the roaring Raises from every side of the building. Still the firemen were censored for this and for that but were not deserving ot it in the least. One thing they did do and they must he given credit tor this Is in keeping the lower floor ot the buildtag intact, saving the valuable machinery, type and equipment from crashing to destruction into the flooded fire raving basement below. In the case ot one fireman who was consured by two or thre individuals and reported to the board of safety, w witnessed with our own eyes this fireman take a chaiioe with his life that not ono la the crowd of o thousand or more who saw the fire would have taken. Dropping through a basement window into the roaring furnace be

low he went lone handed to explore. Wading waist deep into the. treesif.gr water and taking the eh&nees of the floor giving away oil top of him, he appeared ten minutes later after locating the heart of the fire. A tnlnuto later he led three other firemen with a lead ef hose to the scene. That is what same people call gratification.
