NARROW ESCAPE OF
FIFTY FAMILIES

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Fire today
destroyed five story brick tenement
house in the Williamsburg section of
Brooklyn and over fifty families mar
Iowly escaped with their lives. Four
alarms were sounded, and most of the
Brooklyn fire fighting apparatus was
called into service.
Early reports of loss of life could
not at once be su bstantiated, the flames
being so hot as to drive back the res
cuing parties. The blaze apparently
started in the front of the center tene.
ment and spread in both directions
and then to the rear.
The Railways quickly were filed
with smoke and many of the occup-
ants had to escape over the buildings
in the rear, which also soon caught
fire but it is believed all escaped. One
fireman was slightly injured. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.

''China lacks either the power or

RUSSIAN CRUISERS
IN CHINESE PORTS

PARIS. Aug. 24 There l. reason
to believe that a decision Is about to
be taken providing for the voluntary
disarmament of the Russian cruiser
Askold and the torpedo boat destroyer
Grozovoi. now at Shanghai and the
Russian cruiser Diana at Saigon.
This will be done primarily TO avoid
international complications aud Will
have the effect of reducing the Rus
sian strength by three strong units,
but the Russian authorities consider
that this will be offset by the avoid
ance of the possible capture of the yes
sells named by the Japanese.
Advioes received here from Saigon
show contrary to previous announce
ments, that the Diana is in very bad
condition. She had one large hole in
her hull below the water line. Her
injuries will take weeks to repair
This would have permitted an exten-
sion of her sojourn in a neutral port
beyond the twenty four hours which
expired yesterday, but it is foreseen
that the repairs would entail such
stay at Saigon that it is possible that
questions affecting the neutrality Of
the port would be likely to arise, and
therefore Russia is disposed to disarm
the Diana, which thereafter will re-
main at Saigon during the war
The final determination in the mat
ter has not yet been taken but the
tendencies are strongly as indicated
Ii is expected that the action to he
taken at Shanghai and Saigon viii re
lieve the cases of international sig
niticance and practically close them.

Nothing in the way of ill luck occur

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
II used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced 10 the kidneys.
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ming in kidney trouble.
