PANIC Is THREATENED
Fears of WOrshipers Quickly
Allayed When They Learn
Building Is Not on Fire

OAKLAND. April ia CLOUD of
smoke which allied the First Congrega-
tional Church during the Easter ser
vices this morning caused a wave of
fear 10 pass over the congregation Of
more than 1900 people,. and a panic was
narrowly averted. Every seat in the
big auditorium and the balcony was
occupied. and had. a rush been made for
the doors serious results would have
followed.
The ushers. however. quickly re-
assured the excited worshiDers, and
even the smoke soon cleared. The ser
vices then went on as II nothing had
occurred 10 disturb them. An investi-
CATION after the church was cleared
failed TO reveal the cause of the smoke,
which is believed TO have come from
outside the building. gaining entrance
through one of the Ventilators of the
church. When first noticed the smoke
was barely perceptfble. and no atten-
tion was paid to it. but as the volume
increased a hurried investigation was
made 10 discover its origin
BY the time that il was found that
there was no FIRE in the building many
of the congregation had become aware
OF the fact that the auditorium was
filling with choking Yapor which made
the eyes smart, and were on the verge
of rushing from the church to the
open air. Cool words from the ushers,
however, who passed quietly through
the church with the assurance that the
smoke had come from some outside
source. allayed the fears of the congre-
cation, and ala remained in their seats
until the close Of the service, by which
time the draught from the ventilators
had cleared the last Of the smoke from
the building.

FLAMES RACE
DR.. Henry Fine and Party of
AutOists Arouse a Couple
Asleep in Burning Home
FORM A HOSE BRIGADE
Midnight Blaze Extinguished
by Prompt Work of the
Volunteer Fire Fighters

OAKLAND. April 15.-The timely ar
rival of Dr. Henry Fine and a party OF
automobilists, who formed themselves
into a brigade Of fire fighters, probably
saved the lives of aged John Parkinson
and his young daughter, who were sound
ly asleep in their burning home last night
at the southeast corner of Tenth and
Madison streets. It was with the greatest
difficulty that DR.. Fine and his volunteer
assistants could arouse the Parkinsons,
and they did it only by smashing a win
dow In the rear Of the house.
DR.. Fine had been visiting a patient on
Eighth street, and was returning TO his
home at 1920 Jackson street shortly after
midnight. As he reached Tenth and Mad
ison streets he was attracted by the
flames leaping up the side OF the Parkin-
son home He rang the doorbell violently.
and just then a party of automobilistS!
consisting Of three men and two women,
turned the corner.
The men in the auto ran to the physi-
clans assistance, and two of them played
on the flames with a garden hose while
the others continued their task of trying
TO awaken the sleepers. Finally the win
dow was smashed and Parkinson was
aroused. He awoke his daughter. but by
that time the blaze had been extinguished
and 1t was not found necessary to sum
mon the fire department
Parkinson and his daughter were great
ly excited and could give no idea of the
origin of the fire. but wooden ash barrel
against the rear of the house told plainly
the story of the midnight blaze.
Who composed the party In the automo-
bile is not known. as they drove away
as soon as they saw that the danger was
over and did not give their names

Peace James q. Quinn, one OF his
closest friends, called at the Morgue
shortly after noon and made the iden-
tifcation.

neer, saw the body lying on the track
midway between the subway OF the
Key Route and the Emeryviile railroad
station. Luhr notified Deputy Coroner
Van Vranken and the body was re-
moved to the Morgue, where IL was
found that there was a deep gash on
the back of the head and the right and

mon Deputy Constable Hickey, who
usually accompanied the superintendent

Few residents of Emeryville enjoyed
the confidence and esteem of a larger

years ago, but came to this country

foran. He was one of the most exper-
fenced track conditioners in all Amer

proach of the train which caused his
! death
