FIRE AT GRAVRsEND TRACK.
Blaze Under the Grand stand Quickly
ExtiuEuished.

While the crowd was specializing on the
outcome Of the fifth race at Gravesend
yesterday afternoon fire started in the
kitchen under the grand stand. A pot OF
grease on a stove was upset and the wood
work was quickly ignited. With no panic
and little excitement the bartenders. who
saw the smoke and flames coming through
the thin partition. grabbed up buckets Of
water and, passing them from hand to
hand, soon had the blue under control.
Alexander Shields, Frank j. Bryan and
T. X. Lynch led the Are brigade, and 1t was
not until the smoke began to pour out OF
the passageways to the lawn that the men
and women in the structure realized that
something was wrong.
There was no cry Of fire however
and the Pinkertons hurried about, reas-
surfing the people that the danger had passed.
The band continued to play all through
the suppressed excitement and there was
not sign of disorder. Had the fire gotten
beyond the control OF those who succeeded
in extinguishing it there might have been
much damage, as the grand stand is OF
wood and high wind was blowing from
the ocean. News OF the affair did not
reach the betting ring or the track officials
until after the fifth race had been run.

MILWAUKEE, Wis. Sept. 29.-'I cannot
speak for the Vatican said Archbishop
Messmer, when a despatch was shown to
him saying that the Church authorities
favored the reelection OF President Roose-
velt He added:
Il believe that President Roosevelts
policy in regard to the Philippine friars
has met the approval OF the Vatican authori-
ties, and there Ia a feeling that in case of his
election they would be assured Of straight
forward and considerable treatment
Personally. should be glad to see Pres
ident Roosevelt elected President, though
can speak only for myself consider
him an honest, straightforward man, who
desires to do right. He has shown this In
his dealings with matters in the Philippines
as they came up. Owing to the complicated
questions that have arisen In regard to
the Philippine friars and Church matters
in the new possessions, he has had closer
negotiations with the Vatican than any
other President. The general impression
Is that he did what he considered right In
solving the questions as they came up.
Il believe that if he IL elected the policy
he has inaugurated will be carried out
and that Catholics in the Philippines will
have fair treatment"
