SCHOOL FIRE PANIC AYERTED.
CHILDREN HELD IN CHECK IN
TINE or DANGER.

Smoke From a Tenement Blaze Biack ened
the Schoo windows and Flames
scOrched the wall. but the Youn gsters
Obe,ed orders and Kept Their seats.
Although some of the upper windows Of
the big public school at 2l6 East Eighty
eighth street were blurred with smoke from
a blazing five story tenement separated
on the west from the school by a narrow
alley, the $500 boys and girls stuck TO their
seats like veteran Yankee bluejsckets at
quarters in battle. At times the m
licked the west wall of the school.
Prof. Hess, who has charge of the boys
department, and Miss Bradley, who has
charge of the girls, learned Of the fire
before the engines cLattered up into the
street and they notified all the teachers.
The screams of tenants fleeing from the
burning house and the hubbub in the neigh
borhood startled many children with seats
near the front windows and they showed
a nervous desire to see what was going on
Blinds we're pulled down and the work pro-
ceeded. Principal Hess decided that it
would be unwise to sound the fire drill,
as it was then about fifteen minutes OF
the noon hour. The uproar below con-
tinued and the children sat it out.
Police reserves had driven back the
throngs, including many mothers of the
neighborhood, who had heard that the
school itself was afire, and when the pupils
marched out OF the east side exits, the
smoke making it impracticable for them
TO leave by the west, the sidewalks IN mont
of the school were clear. The reserves
helped the children to the fire lines, behmd
which many Of them stood later and watched
the firemen put out the blaze.
TIL fire started on the third floor. in the
rooms Of Mrs. William Kelly, who had
gone out shopping, leaving her chlldren,
Paul and William, aged respectively 3
years and 10 months, asleep on a PED. \
neighbor on the same floor, Mrs. Schmet-
terer, was looking out for her little ones.
While Mrs. Schmetterer was preparing
lunch for her children she saw moke COM
ing out Of the Kelly rooms. The BED on
which the Kelly children were lying was
burning and fire had caught the clothing
OF the children themselves. Mrs, Schmet,
terer dashed a pail of water on them, and
grabbing them up, one Under each arm;
her little ones to follow her. She went
TO the roof, crossed TO the roof OF the mousse
next door to the west and went down
through the scuttle to the street.
There were in all twenty families in the
tenement, four on each floor. and three
of the families escaped by the roof. One
woman got down by the fire escape. All
the rooms on the third, fourth and NTH
floors were Quilted and the lower toors
were made uninhabitable by water.
The engines that usually respond to a
first alarm in the neighborhood Of the school
were on duty at a fire at an East River coal
yard, and it was some time before fire
apparatus could be called or other alarms.
The fire then had gained serious Roadway
and gave the fremen a hard fight.

TENDERLOIN POOLROOMS NEXT.
Petite Davis surrenders and Turns Out to
he Peter ID. Dunn.

Petite Davis, who was indicted for running
a poolroom at go Mercer street, walked into
the Criminal Courts Building yesterday and
said he was ready 20 answer the charge.
He was accompanied by his counsel. John
McCauley. He has been in town several
days, although a general alarm was out for
his arrest.
When he was srraigned Recorder GOh
asked him if Petite Davis was his right name,
1T il not. said the prisoner. My right
name is Peter b. Dunn"
That was a surprise To men who ave
known him for years.
Martin Engel had appeared as bondsman
and papers had been made out under the
name of Petite Davis, releasing him in $500
bail. But the Recorder had the papers torn
up and a new set was prepared naming
Peter b. Dunn as the defendant.
Moses Brown and Louis Cohen, who were
indicted after the raid District Attorney
Jerome made on a Tenth street pooroom A.,
pleaded guilty yesterday before Judge
Rosalsky in General Sessions. They were
released until January 30, the Judge telling
them that il they did not engage in the pool
room business again and reported regularly
TO the District Attorney between now and
January 30 he would not send them 70 prison
but would fine them. They said they'd be
good.
Inspector Nally called on District Attor-
ney jerome yesterday and told him that all
the poolrooms in the First inspection dis
riot, of which he is in charge, we're closed
and tina he had old the captains in his Is
trict that hereafter if they put any pool
rooms on their suspected list they would
get into trouble unless they first notified
MIR. Jerome where the poolrooms were.
1t was said yesterday that Mr., Jerome has
a scheme for putting the handbook men out
of business. They usually make their
headquarters in barrooms and Mr.. Jerome
intends, if he can convict them, to tax
away the saloonkeepers' licenses In adj
dition TO MIR. Jerome's detectives a number
of private detectives have been employed
by Mr.. Jerome TO get evidence.
Hereafter poolroom men who are con-
victed will not be sentenced AT once. lt il
Mr.. Jerome's intention to continue them on
bail and keep a watch on them. Petite
Davis will not be tried at once, as Mr.. Jerome
thinks that while a charge il hanging over
him he will he inclined TO rest from his
Iabors. The injunction which Davis had
for his poolroom has been discontinued
MIR. Jerome will next take up the Third
inspection district, which includes the
Tenderloin.
