THE KAHN RESIDENCE BURNED
Nothing saved. Loss on House and |
Furniture Estimated at 100000.

Nothing saved. Loss on House and
Furniture estimated at 100000.
The residence Of Otto II. Kahn at
Cedar Court, one Of the twin houses
built by the late Abraham Wolff for
his two daughters, was entirely de-
stroyed BY fire or Friday evening.
Mrs. James Fraser the wife of the SUI
perintendent Of Cedar Court discov-
cred the fire from her residence on the
Columbia turnpike nearly quarter Of
a mile from the mansions. She in
formed her husband who called up the
employees of the place and started to
the scene. Assistance was asked from
Morristown and Chief Fox sent the
chemical engine and Washington hose
carriage. The chemical engine had
difficulty in getting over the private
road from Madison avenue, three
horses being required to pull the ma
chine while the members of the COM
pany walked to tighten the load.
Later members Of Resolute II. & T..
Co. hired sleigh and went to the
scene with more tools.
The employees Of the place attached
their own line of hose to near by
hydrant and did good service. The
members Of Washington Engine re-
lieyed them on their arrival. The
chemical engine did good service pre-
venting the Wertheim house from
burning as the towers caught once or
twice. Sparks also set fire to the
squash ball court hundred yards
away from the burning structure but
men with ladders and extinguishers
speedily extinguished these flames. The
truck members assisted materially in
tearing down some of the burning
woodwork and preventing the spread
Of the fire through the passage con-
Meeting the easements of the two
houses.
1t is supposed that the fire caught
from a defective or overheated fiue
and was first seen near the roof. The
fire gained rapid headway and soon the
house was a mass of flames. Its pos
ition made it one of the most spec
tacular fires ever in this vicinity, the
flames and light being seen for miles
in every direction. There was maid
in charge OF the Kahn house while a
caretaker and his wife lived in the
Wertheim house.
The maid, Josephine Shay, was in
the kitchen when the fire started.
She heard what sounded like an ex-
plosion and started through the sub
way to get the caretaker when she
heard the cry Of fire. She lost all her
possessions.
Mr.. Fraser treated the tiremen to re-
freshments at his home after the hard
work was over.
Absolutely nothing was saved and it
is estimated that the loss on house and
furniture will approach 100000.

ready engaged throughout the state as
school teachers. This number repre-
sents half of the class and the placing
of the young teachers at so early date
is gratifying to the school authorities.
DR.. James NJ. Green is pleased with
the salaries paid the beginners for the
reason that they are equal to those Of
last year, which were the highest ever
paid. Among those located is George
Fl. Kiser, Of BFookside, who goes to

A HOST IN HIMSELF

1t is no wonder that Mr.. Michael
took refuge in a charter provision to
prevent the employment of outside
counsel and the securing of a real legal
opinion on the agreement with the
street railway company. Nothing less
than the charter could protect him. An
examination of the opinions that he
has rendered and comparison of them
with the opinions of persons versed in
the law show that he could not with
safety accept any coadjutor. AS an
authority on the city council and the
law in general he is unique.
The corporation counsel knows, as
everyone else knows, that it would not
be safe for him to invite or accept the
opinion of any we'll informed lawyer
on his procedure. We do not think so
meanly Of his intelligence as to doubt
that he is aware OF the illegality Of the
whole proposed arrangement. or is ig-
norant of the fact that the city council
cannot set aside and override a provi-
sion of the city charter as is done in this
agreement. Still less possible is 1t that
he should be ignorant of what is IA
miliar to the youngest member of the
bar in relation to extending the time
for appeal. Advice and assistance on
either OF these questions might be
awkward for him.
When IL comes to this famous agree
ment with the street railway company,
Mr.. Michael certainly deserves To stand
alone. Other legal opinions have been
had and given to the public. As many
more may be obtained as necessary.
The members of the council who I'M
Willingly put their heads into the moose
that the city attorney prepared do not
find it easy to get them out. Mr.. Mi
chael has been running this deal, has
invited large responsibility and may be
altogether certain, that he will not es-
cape it. There are things which people.
however careless or apparently un-
ready to maintain their own interests
they may be. do not forget.

contemporary Comment
The Beef Investigation

The beef trust has been under pop
uiar condemnation and judicial inveS-
lgalon Tor more than two years.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt issued orders for
the prosecution of the trust April II,
iSOz- Since then, it is easy to believe.
the packers have used every available
means TO cover up the evidences of
their extortion and make an innocent
appearance 1t is quite possible that
they have kept two sets of books
one Tor private purposes and another
Ior public inspection. The favorable
innings which Mr.. Garfield has made
Tor the packers follow, of course, as 4
natural mathematical conclusion to
the nguFes and statistics presented
Tor ms consideration. But we should
pear IN mind that while figures do not
lie, liars sometimes figure. In fact, the
showing which was made for the
packers as to the reasonableneS of
tneir charges was so carefully drawn
mat ii looks suspiciously like a spe-
clally prepared exhibit. The smallness
OF the profits claimed would indicate
that the Swifts. Armours, Cudahys
ana other beef magnates are in failing
circumstances and in danger of bank
ruptcy- But everybody knows that
such is not the case. These men are
rolllng In wealth.-Kansas City Jour-
nal
