at Mount Vernon.

The three daughters of Robert Z. Ruddy and two
of his nieces yesterday formed bucket brigade

home at No. 211 North Eghth-ave. Mount Vernon,

alarm. Mr.. Ruddy, who is superintendent of a
foundry in Manhattan was at Port Chester.
Selling big pails the girls rushed up the
ond floor and filled the pals with water. -Four of
them climbed TO the roof of high extension and
dashed the water against the rear walls. while the
other gi:l filled the fire buckets.
I'VE will have cut hole in the wall so we
can reach the fire. exclaimed the girls
They got shovel and hatchet and made holes
In the wall, into which they poured a shower of
water. Dense volumes of smoke were pouring out
on them blackening their faces and almost suffo-
eating them but they kept at their work
The fire and cries of the girls attracted crowd
of neghbors many of them women. who assisted
the girls to fight the flames. Then alarm was
turned In When the fremen arrived they had
little 10 do. as the work Of the little band had
saved the house. The girls at last almost collapsed
from exhaustion. and then became hysterical.

THE TEST rs STILL Is TO 1
Bryan Says No One Disloyal To 1t
Can Be Nominated
NOW SILENT AS TO HIS CANDIDACY.


William j. Bryan served notice on Eastern
Democrats yesterday, practically in so many
words that no man could be nominated for
President on the Democratic ticket next year
who had not been an enthusiastic worker in
1896 and 1900 for the Chicago and Kansas city
platforms. He would not discuss individuals
He silent to his own candidacy, al
though on Saturday he declared that ne was
not and would not be a candidate next year
He was asked Il bout Justice Parker. but replied
that he had nothing to say about individuals
Then he continued:
Il expect to examine into the records of all
the candidates presented and ascertain their
views on all public questions. and then l shall
be better prepared to express an opinion as 10
their availability; but add general state
ment which ought to be plain to every one.
When people are selecting candidates they de-
sire candidates who express their views and
stand for their principles If the Democrats
who are opposed to the Kansas City platform
desire candidate also opposed to that PLATFORM
they ought to expect that the men who believe
in that platform will insist candidate in
sympathy with the principles set forth in that
platform.
1T is d reflection the honesty and earnest
ness of those who rescued the Democratic party
from plutocratic influences to say that they
will accept any candidate, or 1aFor the nom
ination of any man, who is put forward or ac-
lively supported by the men who divided the
Democra tic party and helped to elect a Repub-
Iican President.
Mr.. Bryan spent the greater part of the day
quietly at the Hotel Victoria yesterday. He
saw and talked with number of friends who
called upon him. In the forenoon he attended
the Madison Square Presbyterian Church with
Charles A. Towne. md after the service talked
with the pastor To-day he will be the guest of
honor a reception given by the Women's
Democratic League. of Brooklyn. at the Claren
don. Mrs. Eugene V. Brewster, president of the
club will make an address of welcome, and Mr.
Bryan will respond. Tonight he will start for

wIcKEDEsT MAN IN NEW YORK
TELLS HOW HE STARTED.

New York, April s-"The" Allen,s'
one time known as the "wickedest
man in New York, and the last OF
the noted dive keepers Of the olden
time Of which Harry Hill, Billy Mo
Glory. Tom Gould, owen Geoghsn
and Tom Mcmahon were the shining
examples, has left New York in search
OF health, q broken man physically.
His destination is the Holy Land.
"The" Allen for fifty years, almost,
has been one of the most unique and
picturesque characters in New York 8
under world. He served throughout
the OWL war in the United States
army, and his record as soldier was
without n blemish. Since the war,
bow ever, his life has been . constant
battle with the police, as gambler.
dance hall keeper, pool room keeper !;
he has been at war with society. and
not always unsuccessfully.
While the places he kept were rem
devious for the most noted criminals
In the country, Allen was never under
suspicion Of being crook. He WAS
perfectly fearless. and though a small
msu, q desperate fighter. His fights
were innumerable, and he was nearly
always victorious. Once he took hu-
man life, but coroners Jury declared
the killing OF Eddie Malloy an acci-
dent. and no further action was taken.
Just before his departure Alien was
asked why he was called" Tho wicked
est man in New York"
Wicked" he said. I'm not wick
ed. never was. When was boy
I drifted along until ] came to the
parting Of the ways. I took the wrong
road and kept on. fought when !
had to fght. It's the good old Ameri-
can way, and I'll keep on the same
road till meet st. Peter at the gate. "
Allen had q summer place on Long
Island, and his reputation there was
entirely different from that in New
York. He was regarded IS a good
neighbor, a philosophical citizen and
a man devoted 20 his family.

Year.

The board of education met last
night in regular session with Trustee
Gleaves absent.
Superintendent Hatfield reported
that March was a good month for at
tendance except in the primary grades,
where whooping cough and mumps re-
duced the attendance somewhat.
He recommended that cuts of the
various school buildings be made and
printed in the annual school reports,
in order to let outsiders see what kind
of school buildings we have. The su-
perintendent recommended that the
resignation of Prof. Nuckolls, oolored,
be asked for as he could not control his
room at Lincoln building. The report
was received and the recommendations
concurred in.
The treasurer's report showed on
hand s2,412.s6.

were allowed.
A large number of bills were allow
cd, also . street Improvement estimate
Of Mr.. E. O. Terrell for graveling
Harris street in front of the Garfield
building. A claim for improvement
On Powell street was held out to de-
termine whether or not the city was
not given the property on condition
that il pay for the improvement.
Chairman Ben weille, of the build
ing committee, reported some OF the
floors aud windows of the schools in
bad condition, and recommended that
the board consider the advisability Of
creating the position of building in
spector and pay some man about $50 a
month to hold it, his duties being to
make all minor repairs ON the build
ings the year around. 1t was shown
where these trivial repairs last year
cost the board about $4,000, much
more than some carpenter would &C
cept the place for and do the same
work. The matter was referred to the
building committee, with instructions
to make a report at the next meeting.
Chairman Winstead, of the district
school committee, reported the names

tive in two weeks.
