Camden's Biz Blaze Fatal to

Buried Under Roof.

CAMDEN, NJ j., March 17.-Three
firemen We're Ruled and nine others
seriously injured last night at a fire
which destroyed tine old Sixth regi-
ment armory at Bridge and West
streets in this city.
The dead are George wv. Shields,
William Hillman and William Jobes.
Charles Worthington was probably
fatally hurt.
The fire started in the boiler room of
the armory building and quickly
spread TO all parts of the structure.
About a dozen firemen were ordered
into the burning building with a line
of hose and We're making good prog
ress in fighting the flames when they
were warned by Fireman Harry Dease
that the roof was giving way. Before
the men could heed the warning the
great expanse of roof fell, burying
Dease and the others under it. Shields.
Hillman and Jqpes We're crushed to
death, but the Others managed to fol-
low the line Of the hose and escaped
after most of them had been seriously
liberated and burned. The injured
We're removed to Cooper hospital. 9.
a general alarm was sounded, and
after a great effort the flames were
confined to the armory, which was
entirely destroyed. About twenty
houses surrounding the armory were
scorched. 1t was at first thought that
Shields and Hillman We're the only
tiremen killed, but in searching for
their bodies the rescuers found the re-
mains of Jobes. Up to that time he
had not been missed. Worthington,
who is believed to be fatally injured,
was hurt while going to the fire. The
apparatus on which he was riding
crashed into an electric light pole, and
he was caught between them. The
building was abandoned years ago by
the Sixth regiment and had since been
occupied by various firms. Recently
the structure was purchased by the
West Jersey and SeashOre Railroad
company, which intended tearing it
down to make way for improvements
along its seashore line, and the tenants
of the building We're moved out when
the fire was discovered. Those who
occupied the armory were the Camden

HEARING
IS ADJOURNED
HamiItOn's Revelations Will Aid
Insurance Reforms Boards
of Trustees Must Go.

ALBANY. n. Y, March 1.-THE eff
feet of the sensational and bitter
speech of Andrew Hamilton at the
hearing of the Armstrong committee
Immediately following the appeal of
John f. Mcintosh, counsel for the New
York Life, is being freely discussed.
Laying aside the motive of the speech
II the evident desire to get revenge
and to reinstate himself in the eyes
of the people, there is no denying that
Andy Hamilton has done much to help
to pass the bills advocated by the in
uranc investigating committee. His
speech has left the impression that the
present boards of trustees must go and
that there must be a clean deal all
around.
Members of the legislature have dis
cussed Hamilton's remarks and have
studied them carefully. One member
of the Legislature said:
1T is peculiar that Hamilton did not
see fit to make such a statement until
after he had returned from New York
city and had visited the offices of the
New York Life Insurance company and
had seen William B. Hornblower. 1t
may have been that Hamilton was
stung because the company was not
to have any further use for him.
HE has made a statement in which
he admits the corruption that has been
going on. OF course he doesn't attempt
to explain who received the money,
and neither does he tell whether he
has any Of the money left. But, every
thing considered, Hamilton has left
the impression that makes it bad for
the insurance companies. While he adj
mits that he has in the past killed leg
islation that was threatening to the
life insurance companies, what he did
was to help to advance legislation that
is designed to end such practices as
he assisted in in years gone by. The
present boards of trustees will have to
go. OF that there is no doubt
The speech of Samuel Untermyer and
also that of John Dewitt Warner call
ing for the removal of the boards of
trustees has also had a decided effect.

cuss the Hamilton incident. Asked if
Hamilton would be asked to give chap
ter . of the disclosures, Senator Arm
strong said:
II don't believe that Hamilton can
give any statements that will affect
the legislation. While he might make
statements that would be interesting.
still it is not likely that he would tell
anything that would assist the commit
tee in getting the business in any diff
ferent shape. OF course as an expert
on insurance matters he might have
