Record Run of Hampstead Million
aires to and From Burn
ing Place
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, June 24.-Jammed to
the lamps with men in dress coats, a
huge auto dashed through Hampstead,
l.. l., last night to save the country
place of Howard j. Dietz and possibly
human life. The millionaire Volun-
teer firemen of the Meadowbrook Hunt
set manned the machine.
Mr.. Dietz was entertaining friends at
dinner when he was Informed that one
of the barns was in flames. The host,
followed by his men guests ran from
the room, dragged from its garage one
of the biggest machines and threw out
all the seats. Then, with the throttle
wide open, they raced to Hampstead
for help.
Then the fire bells and steam whistles
spread the alarm. The volunteer MEM
bers of five fire companies rushed their
apparatus to the car. And, with twen-
ty-five men inside and others hanging
on as best they could, buckets dang
ling from all points, and hose cart
rafting behind, the auto whzzed back
again.
Mrs. Dietz, directing the servants and
remaining guests, had succeeded in
pulling out all the autos to safety. Au-
gust Keller, the chauffeur, and an
other employe were asleep in the room
over the garage and were rescued. Kel-
Ter was severely burned about the face
and arms in his attempt to escape.
Several Meadowbrook Hunt members
who thought the fire was at the club
house arrived on the scene in autos to
help fight the flames.

Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, June 24.-When the
examination of Tailor j. c. C. Jaxon,
charged with the murder of James A.
Logan. is resumed on Tuesday morning
another important clew will be pre-
sented.
Two of the officers of the Pasadena
police force, who have been working
quietly on the case, but whose collected
evidence was not deemed sufficient by
Chief Parkham to ask for a warrant
from the office Of the district attorney,
state that they can positively bring
forward the women who purchased the
putting iron used in the murder of
Logan.
This will be done at once and II is
promised that the evidence will cause
sensation and add materially to the
chain of circumstancial evidence which
is being constructed.
The two Officers in question are quite
indignant at certain of the claims mad e
by their chief when on the witness
stand the first day of the hearing, and
1t is believed will offer an interesting
story of their Investigations with the
hope of putting themselves straight
with the public as we'll as to help along

washed out at several places and traffic

to Hanford for repairing material, but

DIGS $1,000 OUT OF A ROOF
Board Under Shingles and He
Becomes Suddenly Rich
Special to The Herald.


NORRISTOWN, Pa, June 24.-John
Burns, a Conshohocken laborer, found
a package containing over $1,000 yester-
day, but he did not become aware of its
contents until his employer, Council
man Harold took it and opened it.
Burns was engaged in razng an old
building adjoining Harrolds hotel,
when his pick struck something soft in
ropping off the shingle roof
Whats that jack he asked, as he
handed the bundle to Harold.
Jack opened it. and when Burns saw
the rolls of long green" his eyes bulged
from their sockets, and not until he
had tossed off a glass of liquor was he
able to believe his eyes Then he ex-
claimed: Had l only known"
The tens and twenties were be-
grimed with dirt and mire, and bugs
had chewed the edges; but they are not
beyond redemption. One of the bills
looks as II 1t might have been of the
denomination of $1,000.
The building where the small fortune
was found was formerly a hotel, and 1t
is expected that the old proprietor. Will
lam Clinch, put the wad where 1t was
found, and, as he died suddenly, its
whereabouts were never known.
