began to squirm in their seats. and be-

precinct rescued two Small colored children
from burning house at PA G street north

who is four years old, pulled lamp from a
bureau and caused the blaze while his
mother was at a neighboring store purchas-
ing coal. The blaze did not disturb him
very much. for he was enjoying a piece OF
bread and molasses when he was found by
those attracted to the fire.
Quite crowd had gathered in front of
the house before the arrival OF the fire de-
partment. but no one of the party was ap-
parently willing to risk going through the
smoke-hlled house to rescue the child Po-
iceman Stroman. who was a passenger on
a street car which passed the house,
jumped from the moving vehicle. Cpon
being informed that there were children on
the upper floor he broke open the door and
found the room filed with smoke. The
younger of the two children was found w.
ing under the crib. while the older one was
stretched upon the floor Grabbing the
little ones, he hurried down stairs with
one under each arm.
Friends took charge of the children, who
seriously affected them. An alarm was
turned in from box IL and the firemen ex-
tinguished the flames before much damage
had been done.
