DANGER FROM ELECTRIC LIGHT WIRES
BIG FIRE WAS NARROWLY AvERTED In

A BIG FIRE WAS NARROWLY AVEbiED IN
"THE STAR" BUILDING.
The fro which occurred in the editorial roons Oh
aqhe STAR Office on tho morning OF January 81 is
another proof Of the dangers which constantly threaten
property by tho presence of overhead electric wires
Tho actual damage done was, in this case, Compare
lively speaking slight yet IL was only due to happy
coincidence that big fire was averted Tho violence
sof the storm had broken the electric wires which
cross the street at Park Place, and had thrown them
upon the wire Of the Fire Department, which enters
the window near Broadway. Tho contact OF tho two
wires caused concentration Of currents which at
set the alarm bell ringing, and generating an In
tense heat began emit sparks which hrst ign'ed he
woodwork about the window, extending then to the
desk Of the city editor Arnold Pierce, which Is now
in consequence utterly useless and burning number
OF valuable papers. Fortunately the eleyator-boy ar
rived IN time 20 give tho alarm, and calling the com
pOsitors. who were Just going - work, they eAun-
guished the flames. Had II happened an hour sooner
me consequences would have been far different and
valuable building possibly destroyed.
Aside from the peril I'm which houses are placed by
the possibility OF accidents such as this, false fire
alarms may be sent IN the same way, cauing the on
gines from fires which really occur The pfnpretors
Of The STAR building have decided 70 have the wines
removed from the roof IN order 10 avoid such accidents
In the fture which, with the present arrangement OF
the wires, arc liable 10 occur at any time.

cRITICIsING THE EXCISE BILL
WHAT MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURE THINK

OF THE PROPOSED MEASURE
Albany. Jan % spcclaD-The conference oi lead
ing Republican members OF the legislature last nie
upon the various excise bins led to consderaoe tA
today upon the bll presented BY tho Excise Com
mission Senator Fasse said in the conrse OF tho aAy
II seems 10 me that the Excise Commission made =
mistake In nxlag sliding scale OF licenses i woah
be far better In my opinion, 10 have1 hxed zee iot
zach Glass Of llQuorselers Then all that Boards OF
Excise would have TO decide upon would DC INC
personal character Of the applicant for license That
would take the liquor-dealers out OF politics. NOW
they are forced INTO by their desire to control tho
amount Of the license fee in each locality"
genator Hendricks when informed OF this opinion
Of Senator Fassett said Il disagree with him. In
nv onnion there should be sliding scale OF licenses
AS Senator Hendricks once Mayor OF Syracuse
his opinion s entitled to great respect
General n NJ curtis opposed the EXCISE COM
mission bill. crtlclsng IT'S granting OF licenses 10
,always and steamboat companies. He said a" Fol-
low out this policy, and shall have saloon on
every railway car steamboat, stage and streeetcar
which does business IN two towns This would give
the saloons ten-foh greater power in politics am
opposed to that II would set back the cause OF tenn
perance and DO an outrage upon tho community 6
sense Of decen:y. Besides that the fees are 700 low
In general. They ought to be made higher. DO not
know that want to commit myself to making them
the same as in last years Crosby bill they must be
made higher. 1 believe that the Republican parry
should take backward steps,
Mr. Acker said to-day he disapproved entirely OF the
provision IN the bin permitting the sale Of liquor upon
railroad cars and steamboats, and he would not fayos
the bill while that clause remained in It. He APP
proved the bill otherwise not that he could not frame
bill more In accordance with HIS feelings In the

to tho provision permitting the licensing of liquor
sellers steamboats, cars ETC., but there was hardly

on which liquor is not sold II the strikng-out OF
this clause would not interfere with Its approval by
the Governor he would favor striking 1t out, but nc
dd not desire the chance OF the bilrs becoming law
TO be- endangered by amending II In what is practically

Dir. McMasters thought that his constituency, when
was strongly for temperance, would not think the bl
