BENNETT TESTING
FIRE APPARATUS
TRIED OLD TRUCK WHICH WAS
REBUiLT-UNiVER NOZZLE
LADDERS.

The universal nozzle for the light SER
vice truck at Station No. was tested
yesterday by Chief Bennett and Assistant
Chief Walton of the fire department,
and they were very much pleased with the
result.
At the same time the truck had it's first
test since it was overhauled converted
into modern piece of apparatus and sent
back to the city.
This truck, which is considerably lighter
than the new one stationed a headquar-
tiers, arrived several days ago and was
placed in commission with a crew of six
men. Mat Loveless being made foreman.
Some of the members of the crew were
green" at the work required of them,
and all of yesterday afternoon was con-
sumed in training them They will re-
ceive training every day in the matter of
running the truck up, connecting the
streams to it and handling it.
The patent nozzle attached to the end
of the extension ladder can be operated
from the ground by wire rope. 1t works
on a pivot and water can be thrown in
a window level with the end of the ladder.
above II or below it. The hose to this noz-
zle is attached to the ladder and runs
up or down according to the way the lad
der is extended.
At the bottom of the line of hose is a
Siamese through which two streams of
water can be thrown into the line. and a
stream Of water of almost double vol
ume can be thus secured, The Siamese
Is also arranged so that only one stream
of water need be used.
The new truck at headquarters will be
similarly equipped. 1t has been in service
some time and w NJ. Jordan has been
placed in charge as foreman. There is
a crew of eight firemen on this truck.
which has an S5-fott extension ladder. The
old truck which was overhauled has 65-
foot extension ladder.
When both of the trucks are fully
equipped with the universal nozzle and
the line of hose attached to the ladder,
all that will be necessary when they are
rive at a fire will be to connect two lines
OF hose from the engines to the Siamese
and run the ladders up. With these two
pieces of apparatus any floor of build
ing can be flooded from front and rear,
and the department will be much better
able to cope with large blazes.

OCCUPANTS OF HOUSE
GREATLY FRIGHTENED
Policemen Pursued Negro Thieves and
Fired In the Air, But Bullets
Entered Dwelling.

For several nights Policemen Parker
and Nation have been watching three
houses on Eighth avenue, on the north
corner of Fifteenth street. The houses
are being repaired and some one has been
stealing lead pipes. Last night when
they got there two negroes with sacks on
their shoulders ran out. The officers ran
after them and going on the theory that
the hair of the dog is good for the bite
let fly some lead as they thought into
mid-air for the purpose of making the
lead crooks disgorge; and that far the
theory worked. The negroes dropped the
stolen pipe but made their escape.
But three of the bullets found lodging
in the house of Mrs. M. ]. Conin, No.
1427. across the way, so the lady reports.
One of the bullets, she stated, penetrated
the wall of the parlor. struck the mantle
piece and fell to the floor, greatly fright
ening the occupants of the room. The
other two bullets went into front room
up stairs and spattered plastering on the
head of a negro nurse, who, as far as
fright went, had just as well been shot.
No one was hurt.

FUNDAMENTAL LAW
HAS BEEN REVIVED
Another Kaleidoscope Change
in Russian Politics
AWAKES | N NATI0 N
Original Draft Which Was So objec-
tionaI to the People Has Been
Changed But Little In
Material Points.
AWAKES | N DlGNATI0N

st. Petersburg. May S.-4:2O a. M
Another of the Kaleidoscope changes In
the political situation to which Russia
is becoming accustomed occurred late last
night when, with utter unexpectedness,
the draft of the fundamental law which
was supposed to have persisted with the
White regime, was officially promulgated,
and made the permanent basis of the Rus
sian state unalterable except on the in
itiative of Emperor Nicholas, or his sue
cessors.
Though the draft of the fundamental
law has undergone considerable editing
and numerous minor changes have been
made in it, in essence 1t remains Identical
with the project telegraphed to the As
ISOLATED Press on April a. which evoked
a storm of anger and condemnation by
the dominant liberal party.
Published at the present instant when
the people had been led to believe that
the unpopular draft had been dropped,
and when the dismissal of the old cabinet
was accepted as an indication of the de-
sire on the part of the government to join
hands with the national parliament. the
news will arouse still greater Indignation
and threatens to undo all the work of
Professor Milukoff and the other consti-
tutional democratic leaders in the cause
of moderation

Contains 80 Articles.

The new fundamental laws of the empire
signed May 8, contains SO articles dealing
with the nature of the imperial power,
the rights and duties of citizens, the
methods of legislation. the rights and
limitations of the national assembly, and
council of the empire, and the constitu-
ton and responsibilities of the council of
ministers.
The only modification in the "constitu-
ton" as published, which meets with ia
vor is the elimination of the provision
empowering the emperor to fix salaries
and pensions of officials thereby subject
ing even the judiciary to the possibility
of undue financial influence. All other
changes are in the Erection of further
buttressing the imprI.al power, protect
ing the crown lands, and properties from
interference by the parliament, and Civ
the Emperor to concede loans independ-
emily, should the parliament refuse to
pass the budget.
The retirement of seven members of

ASKS MONEY FOR THEIR CHILDREN
Divorced Wife of Robert P. Lister Presents
Application to Vice Chancellor Emery.

The marital difficulties of Robert P. Lister son
or the late Edwin Lister. of Newark N. j. and
his divorced wife who is Mrs. f. H. ColeIl
were recalled in the Court of Chancery in New
ark, yesterday, when application was made TO
Vice-Chancellor Emery by Walter ]. Knight
counsel for Mrs. Colell. that the court provide
for an allowance of more than $50 week for the
maintenance and support of Listers two chill
dren, who are now pupils in St. Elizabeth's Con-
vent, at Convent Station. The vice-chancellor
signed an order of reference assigning Oscar
Keen as special master to hear testimony
Mrs COlell obtained her final decree of divorce
on April ri, 1903. and, it is said, accepted a
lump sum of $25 900 from Lister in lieu of her
personal dover. Samuel Kaiisch, who appeared
for Mr.. Lister declared that in accepting the
sum in settlement the woman signed an agree
ment in which she promised she would jnsti-
tute no form of legal proceedings for any further
relief from her divorced spouse. The court held
that the agreement could not be held as binding
upon any one but Mrs. Colel, and that it would
be in the interests of the children that he refer
the matter to the special master. E H CoIeII
was named by Lister in his answer to his wife's
suit as the 'instigatOr of all of his domestic
troubles
