 New York.

New York, Jan 16.-A deliberate at- tempt to burn a big tenement house in which nearly sixty persons were sleeping was prevented early to-day when Tony Desaldo, q barber, discov- cred slight blaze in the cellar.
 When the firemen called by Desaldo burst into the cellar they found a fire blazing in a wooden coal bin, but had little trouble drowning it out. It was in searching the cellar for possible sparks that the attempt to burn the tenement was disclosed. In a wooden bin near the one in which the fire started the tiremen found short tal- low candle the flaming wick of which had burned down to within fraction of an inch of an oil soaked pile of shavings which surrounded it.

HA0,T0 WALK UP.
Elevator Men Caused Some Annoy.
 ance At the Lewis Bu .lding.

Don't talk to the janitors today, for they are mad because they nave a strike on their hands. They are aw- fully mad. but the lawyers and other occupants of the Lewis building on Bank street, where the strike took place and is on with all it's fury. are nadder. for they have to walk up and down half dozen flights of stairs.
 William J. Schlesel. agent of the building, began new order of things this morning by discharging Otto H. Lohr. the ianitor and captain of the elevator crew which consists of Har- ry Gilbar. chief of the elevator and James McGrath, general utility man and assistant chief of the elevator, When Gilbar and McGrath heard their captain was given the grand bounce they up and bounced them- selves. What? Expect them to work and their beloved leader out on the cold sidewalk? They would let every internal disciple of Blackstone. aye, and all the doctors. dentists. manicur- ists and hair dressers in the building walk their shins off before they would work with Otto's successor. Cor Jim Mckinney.
 The reason for Otto's discharge is said to he economy. The wonderful prosperity which the country has been grovelling under for tlv, past ten years has not struck elevators. It seems, and now in the name of pro- lection for the working man, and ,Aes in" that the ~rter tax is so high, and City Engineer Cairns trying to shove another million dollar reservoir onto the peoples shoulders. how could 1t be expected that economy should not reign in the elevator department of the Lewis h-lilding? At last reports f tn" lawvers ct al were walking their fat of as the elevator wo,1ti not work for the new man.

TUCKER CASE STILL
 DRAWS THE CROWD.
Heated Argument Between The Opposing counsel This Morning Defense Wants to Exclude Testimony About the Jackknife Officers With Craphaphone Warrant Made Tucker Give Up The Broken Knife.


 to-day marked the opening of the third week of the trial of Charles L. Tucker, charged with the murder of Mabel Page at Weston. March 31, 1904, pub lie interest in the case, as evidenced by tbe crowded condition of the court room every day, is unabated, and an added impetus was given to it to-day by the fact that the delense was sched- uled to open it's presentation this fore noon. The government rested Satur- day after having called many witness es, most of whom were subjected to a sharp cross-eXamination by Attorney James H. Vahey for the defense, ana it is expected that about two weeks moro will be required for the exam. ination of the witnesses called by the defendants counsel.
 Tine largest crowd of the trial was waiting outside to-day and when the doors were swung back there was q rush for seats which severely tested the police arrangements. Attorney Thomas F. Vahey was selected to make tlN opening address for the defense.
 An argument between counsel re- garGing the admissability as evidence Of the broken knife alleged to have been found ill Fuckers Overcoat pocket at bis home on the night Of his arrest occupied some time before the open ias of the defense's case Attorney James H. Vahey argued that the con stitutional rights of the defendant were violated, because with search war rant calling for graphophone officers yoI inc l. CT. which was in effect compelling the defendant to surrender evidence against himself.
 Attorney General Parker declared that the case of the commonwealth was closed, with all evidence and eX- hib:ts in, including the knife, and he was of the opinion that testimony re, garding the kniie could not be stricken from the evidence.
 \ prolonged conference followed be- tween counsel and court, but no decisr ion was announced and Thomas F.. Vahey began his argument for the de fehdant. Mir Vahey aid We sball demonstrate beyond all reasonable doubt that this boy was not guilty ot this crime because he did not have the opportunity to commit it.
 Surgeons will swear that it was inn possible for Fuckers. knife to have caused the wounds, in Mabel Pages body. The J. L. Morton address will be disposed of by the derense, proving that Mabel Page wrote 1t. It will he shown that Tucker cut hls finger and some of the blood stains on his clOth- ing will be accounted for by these cuts. some of the blood stains the defend- ant could not account for and he would not try to account for them all. The piI which has been introduced and wnich Amy Roberts testified was the property of Miss Page, belonged to Tucker. Fuckers wife found it in Portland two years before and gave it to him. ... s,
