Big SMOKE AT CAR BARN FIRE.
FILLED A. MILE OF SUBWAY AND
WORRIED TWO THEATRES.
Seconi Floor OF Old Car Barns on Eighth
Avenue Gutted-I.S 800 Automobiles
Got Outin safety, Also Is Cars-Alarm
Delayed-WaldO a Trouble Centre.

When yesterday afternoons high winds
were at their worst, shortly after 2 o'clock,
a fire broke out in a heap of rubbish in a
room on the second floor of h Metropolitan
Street Railway Company's car barns on
Eighth avenue, between Forty-ninth n
Fiftieth streets. The blaze started in a
small room on the F~orty-ninth street side
of the building, and spread with great
rapidity through the entire second floor.
For about ten minutes the employees
tried to fight the flames with their
apparatus. Policeman John Foley Of the
West ~Forty-seventh' street station then
saw the fire and turned in an alarm.
Former Coroner Gustav Scholer, who
lives near the scene Of the fire, also saw
the flames.
II ran to a fire box to turn in an alarm
said DR.. Soholer, but there was an en-
ployee guarding the box, and he refused
to allow me to do so. Finally, a GROVE
forcibly removed the man and an alarm was
sent In"
Deputy Battalion Chief Devanney was
the first to arrive on the scene. Second
and third alarms quickly followed, and
they brought Deputy Chief Langford and
Deputy Fire Commissioner Hugh Bonner
to the spot. By the time they arrived the
fire was burning fiercely and a heavy pail
of smoke extended for blocks, completely
getting into the Majestic and Circle
theatres. causing some uneasipess among
the audiences.
When the fire started there were about
seventy-1ve cars in the barns and 1900
| electric automobiles in the garage Of the
New York Transportation Company, which
ia located in the building. President R. W
Meade and Floor Manager Sloan quickly
gathered a force Of 200 men, and with the
use OF two large freight elevators got all
the automobiles to the street.
Albert Rutland OF 967 Glenmore avenue,
Brooklyn, a former motormap, saw the
fire and ran into the building TO where an
automatic starter for cars is located. He
turned the starter on and many of the cars
ran out into the street, None was burned.
Supt. Delaney. of the street railway
gathered a force Of men and carried out
all the cash in the offices in satchels. Boys
we're employed with baskets to carry trans
fers to the building on the west side Of
Eighth avenue.
The fremen succeeded in confirming the
Are to the second floor and after an hour
and a half of hard fighting they got it under
control.
Oren Root, DR., general manager OF the
Metropolitan, was present. He said that
the damage would be trihing, as every
thing Of value had been removed.
When Commissioner Waldo arrived he
attempted to pass through the are lines.
Roundsman Haokett saw the Commits =
sioner edging through the crowd.
Hold on there, you can't go any furtherl"
he shouted at the deputy.
Mr.. Waldo exhibited his shield with a
smile. While Waldo wat standing next
to a policeman on Nftieth street Mounted
Policeman Kingsland rode up to the cop
and said:
Say, Waldo's here; be on the job"
Just then K~ingsland got wise and became
very busy in another direction.

CONCERT OF AMERICAN MUSIC.
Advent OF q New Orchestral Society at
Carnegie Hall.

The new Music Society Of America, or
ganized to perform the works Of native
composers, gave last night at Carneg gle Hall
the first of two concerts announced for the
present season. The Russian Symphony
Orchestra, under the direction of Modest
Altschuler, presented these compositions
with the assistance of Ruth Deyo, pianist
and Elise Ste ems, soprano. The pro-
gramme comprised MaoDowelPs Indian
Suite" and piano concerto in d minor,
Arthur Shepherds Paderewski prize com
position Overture Joyeuse' and Sal
ammbo's Invocation to Tanith," by H. F.
Gilbert,
Mr.. MacDowell's two compositions are
both familiar. He objected strongly only
a few years ago to having his compositions
placed on pro grammes devoted exclusively
to American music, but he is now III and
probably was not consulted about the ar
Tangsment last night.
Miss Deyo, who played for the first time
here, showed herself possessed Of an ex-
cellent tie technique anda CLASSY tone. Neither
of the two new compositions seemed to
justify the organization of a society to in
troduce them to the public.

her. After she had given up nny idea Of
getting away abe asked for some money
to send for her baby, who was being looked
after by her mother-in law The money
was refused. She asked TO DO allowed
to zee her bal,y and promised TO come(bGcK,
but this was slso refused.
1t is Stair that all TIE women who were
kept in these houses were not servant girls
some Of them were girls from good families
who had gone astray. IL is not true, now,
ever, that they were girls of IA and 10 years
who were abducted or kidnapped.
SpriRgs is said to have run aasort OF an
exchange. He Is said to have been ready
at all times to supply women to houses
that were not 80 well provided. In one
instance, according TO Mr.. Gargan, twenty
five girls were sent to q negro club IN
Philadelphia.
Since Mr.. Jerome began his n~vestigation
the police have raided Sprigg's Iornelia
street houses twice and the Bennett wcman's
place has been raided once. That was prior
TO the District Attorneys raid on Friday
night. Spriggs and the Bennett woman
are said to have worked together. After
each raid tho prisoners were discouraged
in the police courts because OF insuf1cient
evidence. .,
Sometimes policemen have been stationed
in front Of the houses; Some OF these
policemen have been paid So and IS at a
clip, according to the District Attorneys
information. When the policemen were
a little difident about taking. the money
directly it was put in a piece Of newspaper
and left on an ash barrel in front OF the
houses. 1t never blew away.
So many rome are said to have been
used up by the treatment that they got in
these houses that almost a whole ward in
the charity hospital on Blackwells Island
is said to have been filed with them at
one time. A number of these women are
still there, and they have told their stories
to the District Attorney.
Sallie Bennett, who was arrested on Fri
day night, was held in 5? 900 bail in the
Tombs police court yesterday. Edna Still
man, white; James Hall and Annie Harris,
colored, who we're arrested in the raid, were
sent to the House Of Detention as witnesses.

Gently came out OF the Hahnemann Hospi-
tai, where he had beer under treatment
for nervous trouble, arrived from Chicago
on Friday evening with his s~tepdaughter
and Mrs. Hueston, who was chaperoning
the girl. The party went to the Hotel
Belleclaire, at Seventy-seventh street n
Broadway.
Mr.. Morgan looked unusually well and
spoke hopefully to the night clerk, whom
he knew, of an engagement that he ex-
pected to secure In the early spring. He
vent to his room about 8 O'Clock. His
s~tepdaughter called him half an hour
later and asked him If he was ready to go
down to dinner. He to-! | her to go without
him.
He did not appear at the table and when
she went to his room after dinner n

calls, SO she opened the door with her pass
key. Mr.. Morgan was kneeling oyer a
grip out Of which he had taken a slipper,
which he wore. The other slipper was in
the grip, His head had fallen forward into
the corner of the room. The maid saw
that he was dead.
The hotel called in DIR. Kenneth Mac
Alpine, who lives near by, and be said he
believed that Mr.. Morgan had died of heart
disease. Coroner Shrady found the dag
nosis Of DR.. MaoAlpine correct. The ex.
ertion Of kneeling had brought on the fatal
attack. A letter from q theatrical agency
to Mr.. Morgan's doctor asked the latter il
the actor was in condition to accept an en-
ga gement. A memorandum on the back
of the letter suggested that Mr.. Morgan
should not attempt to do any work b before
April.

thirty-eight years ago and was a graduate of
Oxford. He first appeared in this country
in Shenandoah" He showed promise as
a member of Mrs. Leslie Carriers company
