FIRE IN FIVE STORY FLAT.
Occupants Were Rescued With Only
One Person Injured.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Fire in a five
story fiat house at No. 5 East One
Hundred and Fifteenth street threw
thirteen families into a panic. Adolph
Burkhardt, rs years old, father of a
vaudeville actress, was so severely
burned that there is no hope of saw
ing his life.
When the firemen reached the house
every window was crowded with per
sons attired in night clothes, while a
chorus of shrieks went up from the
women and children, many of whom
wanted to jump. Ladders were
quickly raised and all were saved, the
only person injured being Burkhardt.
1t is believed that the fire started
from a gas stove on the first floor.
The damage was nominal.

SUES FOR BIG SUM.
Creditor Desires Woman to Return
$19O,SOO Loaned.

New York. Nov. 2S.-A sensation
has been caused here by the bringing
of suit by Herbert D. Newton of
Brooklyne, Mass, against Mrs. Cass
Chadwick of Cleveland, O., for $780,
500 for money loaned. Mrs. Chad
wick is the wife of Cleveland physi-
clan. In addition to Mr.. Newtons
suit several banks have taken legal
action to recover various amounts,
which bring the total sum to $26T.S00.
Mr.. Newton alleges that Mrs.
Chadwick told him she had 100000
in bonds and securities held in trust by
Ire Reynolds, secretary and treasurer
of the Wade Park Banking company
of Cleveland, and that she had a note
for 100000 which she could negotiate
at any time for the purpose of paying
Newton. He loaned her $19O.SOO. T.
w. Carver of Boston, attorney for Mr..
Newton, in a statement for his client
said that when the loan became pay
able it was not met and that then he,
Mr.. Carver. had a conference with
Mrs. Chadwick and her counsel.
The statement was made to me-"
said Mr.. Carver, that the securities
held as a trust fund would soon be re-
leased and that in a short time all the
various obligations would be paid.
Later 1 went to Cleveland. where
held conference with Mr.. Reynolds,
but he refused to disclose any infor-
nation as to the securities in his care.
Following another conference with
Mrs. Chadwick'S counsel last Monday
we decided to bring a suit in equity
for the recovery of the money and
have obtained injunctions restraining
Mr.. Reynolds from putting the securi-
ties out of his possession and also to
prevent Mrs. Chadwick from disposing
of them"
The magnitude of the suits and SEN
sationa1 stories growing out of the case
have attracted much attention.

New York, Nov. 2S.-Africander,
winner of the Suburban and many
other good races in 1908, has been
