The first arrival at the Westminster

who came in about o'clock and regis
tered as a Miss Mary Crissmas, Ice
land. There was a great deal of talk
in the lobby during the day as. 10
whether this was really her right
name. Some argued that it was;
that her arrival in Los Angeles was
merely one of those condolences that
frequently happen-others would not
believe that any woman had regis
tered by that name until reassured by
the chief clerk.
Several men bravely declared their
intention to ask the pretty young maid
if she had registered her right name.
hut all of their valor was frozen in
the veins when she neared them--so
chilly was her appearance.
Some one called her by the good
name of Mrs. Santa Claus. but not
while she was in hearing distance.
The whole atmosphere around the
hotel was cold all morning until about
IL o'clock, when F. P. Firey of Pomo-

CITY PRISONER IS
STARVING HIMSELF
BECAUSE OF HUMILIATION he
SEEKS DEATH
D. Wilder Refuses to Eat and Police
Authorities Are in ouandary
as to How to Save
His Life

Starving to death because of the hui
initiation of arrest and Imprisonment
d. Wilder, assistant cook of the city
jail, refused to eat o morsel of food
since he was sentenced fifteen days
ago to serve a months term for carry
ing concealed weapons. All efforts ol
fellow-prisoners and the authorities al
the station have been of no avail
Wilder will not eat.
About three weeks ago Wilder was
arrested by Patrolman Oker on North
Main street on the charge of carrying
concealed weapons and was sent tc
the city Jail When his trial was sci
Wilder smiled confidently and remarked
that he would clear himself or die.
True to his word, the prisoner when
confined in the city jail began a fast
that may end In his death. AS the
Judge pronounced the sentence Wilder
gave a despairing cry and fell back
upon the prisoners bench unconscious
With the assistance of the jailer Wilder
was taken to the receiving hospital
but was released in few hours.
AS Wilder was one of the most trust
worthy prisoners he was appointed
"trusty' to assist the Jail cook. Wilder
took his confinement seriously. How
ever he has gone about his duties most
best assistants that the Jail cook has
had in years.
Refuses to Eat
1t was nearly four days before the
prisoners began to notice that Wilder
did not eat regularly. They surmised
that he was getting the best of them
by eating in the kitchen and called
the attention Of the cook to this sus-
nj ypa
closely. Three days passed and the
man prepared food each day for the
prisoners but refused to partake OF
it himself.
Then the authorities of the city jail
were notified. Wilder was called up tc
give an account of his strange action
He soon proved to their satisfaction
that he did not use stimulants or mar
coticS and at last confessed that he
had not eaten since he was sentenced
Believing that hunger would drive
him to eat, the officers allowed him tc
do as he wished for several days, and
then the heads of the department be.

examination, but he would not be dis.

When asked why he did not eat he
merely laughed and gave evasive an

not hungry; and he told them vari-
Gus things, but all unreasonable an

Christmas morning Wilder did moi
report. An investigation revealed that
he was too weak to leave his bed. He
asked for a drink of water and ther

NEW YORK FIRE CAUSES
PANIC IN TENEMENTS
MANY BABIES AND CHRISTMAS
TREES CARRIED OUT
Big Factory Building Destroyed With
Loss Of 100000, but Apartment
Houses Are Saved-No Lives
Are Lost
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-Hundreds of
tenement babies and their toy-laden
Christmas trees were carried into the
street before daylight today during a
fire which threatened to obliterate sew
eral blocks of the city in the vicinity
of Fifty eighth street and Eleventh
avenue. "A six-story factory building at
534 and 53S West Fifty-eighth street
was completely destroyed with a loss
of 100000.
With tenement houses on three sides
and with the gas tanks of the Consoli-
dated Gas company within reach of
showers of sparks the water pressure
partially failed when the fire was hot
test. Fire engines were hastily coupled
together, pumping in pairs, and this
device, together with the bold work
of the firemen, who advanced almost
into the zone of the flames in order to
play on the fire with their weak
streams, finally saved the hundreds of
surrounding homes.
The fire was first discovered when
flames burst from the third story win
dow and belched completely across
Fifty-eighth street with roar like a
discharging cannon. When the fire de-
partment arrived and tried to put up
it's compressed air extension ladders
to the sixth floor, the ladders refused
to extend. This delayed the firemen
several minutes. Half an hour after
the fire started, although it was still
long before daylight, the rooms Of
Roosevelt hospital, some distance
away, We're lighted as if by daylight.
There was great alarm among both
patients and their attendants.
Such crowds rushed out of the tene-
ment houses near the fire that the po-
lice from several stations were called
out to handle them. At the height of
the fire thousands of spectators mo-
mentarily forgot the burning building
in watching struggle in the upper
window of a tenement house in Fifty
eighth street. A man started climbing
over the window sill preparing to drop
to the street in his night clothes. An
other man rushed out to save him. The
two fought in the window above the
sidewalk while the crowd below cleared
semi-circle. A blanket picked up at
hazard from bedding which other ten
ants were trying to save was stretched
directly under the window. 1t was not
needed, however for the half-crazed
man was drawn back through his WIN
dow by main strength.
The firemen carried the hose from the
coupled engines to the roofs of neigh
boring fiat houses and where they
both poured water upon the factory
fire and extinguished little blazes
which continually started on the roofs
all about them. The sun had risen be-
fore the last Of the Christmas trees
was carried back into the tenement
houses and the danger was entirely
over. One fireman was injured by fall
ing glass.
