FIGHT FIRE IN FULL DRESS.
LARCHMoNTS WEALTHY FIREMEN TRY
TO SAVE HOME OF EDWARD
c. TOOKER

For five hours yesterday wealthy members of
the Larchmont Fire Department fought fire
which destroyed the home of Edward C. TOoker,
a merchant of this city, who lived in Larch-
mont-ave. The fire broke out at 1245 a. m
and the occupants had a narrow escape. The
loss is estimated to be between $4,000 and
$4,000 The fire was discovered by Mr. Tooker
who was awakened by smoke, which nearly
sti1ed him. He awakened his wife, son and
daughter, and, after arousing the three servant
girls he carried another three-year-old child
down burning stairway to safety. Mrs. Took
er, her children and the servants all escaped
from the burning house in their night clothes.
At the time the fire broke out number of
the members of the Larchmont Fire Department
were enjoying themselves at the Larchmont
Yacht Club, and hurried to fight the flames in
their evening clothes. Mayhem Bronson, the
chief, was the first on the scene. and took
charge of the fire fighters. Others who assisted
in subduing the flames were F. w. Flint John
Bevan, Charles A. Singer, T. ]. s. Flint, Frank
Hardy, L. S. Knevals Conrad Bird, Joseph Bird,
Lester Reilly F. F. Proctor George Towle
George E Ide, W. H. Campbell. George Fisher,
E. L. Hopkins and Assistant Chief julius Ger
ZACH.
Chief Bronson had narrow escape from
being burned to death while searching through
the house for members of the family who he
thought might have been overcome by smoke.
He had reached a second story bedroom, when
the flames surrounded him on three sides and he
was forced to escape by way of the front piazza
roof. The villa was richly furnished and a
Costly library and many valuable paintings
were destroyed. BY hard work the firemen pre-
vented the fire from spreading to adjoining
villas
Chief Bronson said "It was the worst fire I
have come in contact with in long time. 1t
started in a pantry closet and spread TO the
elevator shaft Its origin is A mystery"

POLITICS IN CIVIL SERVICE.
Mr.. FoULKE'S VIEWS on SUBSCRIP-
TIONS FROM EMPLOYEES.

Washington, March 2-The attitude of the
Civil Service Commission toward the political
activity of government employees has been de-
to Mr.. McMichael, postmaster. and R. Francis
Wood, both of Philadelphia. In his letter to
Mr.. Wood the substance of which also is stated
in the letter TO the postmaster, Mr.. Foulke says
We object to certain solicitations for contri-
buttons made by those in authority because
they in erect, are coercing the political action
OF employees. But would il not also be coercing
the political action to tell them that they should
not contribute. and that they must take part
Whatever in a campaign? For myself have In
years past always given a modest contribution
for political purposes, and l shall not cease to
do so in the future because | hold office. but
do not intend 10 give any more less on that
account, and do not want my example to be
construed as an intimatiOn TO any employe or
this office that ne is to give not to give or
that he is not free to give to the Democratic
fund as he is to the Republican fund, or that
he may not as freely give to the faction op-
posed to me in my party as to the faction
not opposed to me, if he so desires.
AS to campaign contributions, il seems to me
that the purpose of the law is TO that they
are really voluntary and not actually or implied
ly coerced and to political action and activity,
1t seems to me the purpose of the law is that a
man should be free to do what he likes in office
well out of it, with the limitation that 1t
must not interfere with his official duties nor
in any other way bring scandal upon or impair
the efficiency of the branch of the service to
which he belongs. In the latter particular, any
attack made upon that service, upon the ad-
ministration of which il would form a part,
would necessarily be in derogation of sound dis
cpne. We. who are strong believers in the
merit system, should take extreme A
view that IL could not be sustained in principle
and would not be justified by public opinion.

TRADED HORSES WITH HIS WIPE.

From The Cleveland Leader.
There Is a man whose business requires a large
number of delivery wagons. He has always made
II rule 10 have good horses for the wagons.
When the announcement made that horses
with docked tails were longer fashionable the
business mans wife much annoyed because
the handsome team of high steppers she had for
her carriage were short TO tails after the fash
ion OF recent times rg
She wanted TO be in style and asked for a new
team for her carriage. Her husband a wise
business man. He took two well matched horses
from his delivery wagon service and had them
'slicked up" in a livery and sale stable for
week or so Then he had them taken out to his
residence by the horse dealer with whom he did
business for the inspection OF his wife She thought
they were lust the thing, their tails being all that
fashion or Aies could require The next day they
were in the stable and may be pleasant DAYS
in front OF the handsome carriage OF the business
mans wife. The team she formerly used Is en-
gagged in the prosaic work OF the husbands business
delivery service. So small a thing the style of
the horses tails determined the fate OF the four
horses and pleased the woman OF fashion. for she
has not vet guessed the reasonable terms on whic~
her husband obtained the long tailed carriage tea
for her.
