FORMER HOME OF JOHNS HOPKINS COLLEGE BURNS Blaze In Baltimore Destroys Score of Structures With , ; Resultant Property Loss ; of $1,000,000. . ! . : : ' Baltimore, Md. Nor. 28. The group of buildings formerly Occu pied by Johns Hopkins university, arid about a score of other struc tures in the square bounded by Howard, Ross, Monument and Eutaw streets, were either de stroyed or wrecked by fire early to- day, entailing a loss roughly esti- ' mated at $1,000,000. :. The blaze started in McCoy hall of the Hopkins group, from an un determined cause. An explosion followed almost instantly and heavy explosions occurred in the building from time to. time. Nine Firemen Hurt .. . Nine firemen were injured, but none seriously. McCoy halt had been used re cently as a" welfare building and previously as the headquarters of the chemical warfare service of the , army. ... Among the buildings wrecked or damaged were Levering hall, the gymnasium, the biological labora tories and the Baltimore City col lege annex; Several Rescues Made.' . j ; A number of rescues were made ! ' by firemen, including a blind girl, who was. taken from a third story, and several families. Dr, Frank J. Goodnow, president of the universily, which is now lo ) cated at Homewood, said the build . ings were covered by insurance. High winds swept the sparks a half mile away to the center of the city, and hundreds of men were sent to the roofs v of department stores to stamp out incipient flames War Clothes of Last Hostile Sioux Chief In Hotel Indian Room Another feature will be added to 1 the decorations of the Indian room at the Hotel Fontenelle when the war bonnet and complete attire of Chief Red Cloud, the .last Sioux Indian chief to lead an attack against the white men in the Black Hills; will be placed in a cabinet in the grill room.

He is only xin the twenties, but for all that. he is not simply an "artist of the future," he is. an artist of the present and a J great one, with a true, baritone voice of great range, power, sweetness and flexibility. ' His introduction to Victor audi ences is made through his two ini tial Victrola records just out: "The Spanish Dancer" and "Dear Zaza" respectively.' His operatic debut ' takes place this month with the Metropolitan , Opera company in New York; and never, perhaps, has a first appearance been attended with greater auguries for the future. His career will be watched and fol- t lowed with attention by the whole musical world. Zanelli's appearance brings to ' mind that other youthful prodigy, Jascha Heifetz who was the musical r sensation of .several seasons ago. And Heifetz has just made a new ;V interpretation on a Victrola record a Paganini-Kreisler "Caprice." Two things are to be considered in every record Heifetz makes the be " wildering beauty of his musical ef- ; fects, and the extraordinary . tech- nical means used in order to bring them about..
