FIRE ON WHEELS BURNS RIVER
Didn't Know His Load of Household
Goods Was Burnlne--Fireman
Chased Him Five Blocks
Special to The Herald.


NEW YORK, April 29.-Lewis Ben
ninger of 113 East One Hundred and
Ninth street started to drive big van
load of household goods for George
Dickson from One Hundred and Eight
eenth street to Bay Twentieth street,
in Bath Beach. He had reached Bay
Ridge and Seventh avenue when a pc
destrian noticed that the rear end of
tht big van was on fire.
Without bothering to warn the driver
the pedestrian turned in fire alarm.
Three fire engines and their tenders, a
hook and ladder truck and two bat
talon chiefs responded
BY the time the firemen reached the
corner the burning van was long dis
tance away. The engines raced after
it, and after a run of five long blocks
they caught up and shouted to Ben
ninger, who was jogging along in
ignorance that his van and its contents
were on fire.
Benninger heard the shouts and
looked back. Then he jumped to the
ground with cry Of alarm and began
hurriedly to unhitch his horses. A gust
of wind rolled the flames toward him
and he was severely scorched before he
could get the animals loose.
The f1remen soon got stream on the
van and put out the flames, but nall
the load of Mr.. Dickson's goods had
been destroyed and the van was a
wreck. 1t was figured that the flames
caused $500 loss. How the fire started
no one knows.

THEFT or LEG MAKES
1T A BANK ROBBERY
HoARDED SAVINGS IN A HOLE
FOLLOWED IN WOODEN PEG
The Man Who Takes the Leg There-
fore Steals His Cash and Is Amen-
able to Law-If They Can Get
Him

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK. April 29.-The idea OF
converting his wooden leg into bank
of deposit was original with Tony Men
"a. With an auger and a chisel he
followed out a hole in the peg and
stored away his savings, until he had
S434 under the stump that was left after
a premature blast about seven years
ago.
Tony went to peddling after the acci-
dent and made money. He lived with
his brother on the ground floor OF 262
Elizabeth street. 1t was his custom
to unscrew his peripatetic savings bank
every night, place it on chair beside
him, and in the morning screw it on
again.
When Tony awoke yesterday morning
he reached out as usual for his leg.
1t wasn't on the chair. He got up and
looked under the bed. 1t wasn't there.
He hoped to the closet and made a
fruitless search, and then, his excite
ment increasing, he hoped to the door
and found a big hole bored in the panel
just above the bolt, which had been
showed back.
That was enough for Tony. Shrieking,
he hoped into the street, tearing his
hair and uttering lamentations in his
own Genoese that could be heard a
block. His cries attracted the attention
of Detectives Casey and Van Baskirk,
and they stopped in amazement.
'Who did it?" asked Casey. who cut
it off"
"Ah, oh, OH" groaned Tony, while
the tears rolled down his cheeks.
''Nobod' cut him off. He blow off in Il
bias. 1 wanta ma leg! I wanta ma leg
Oh. me povero!'
That's all right" said Casey "but
how can we get your leg if it was
blown off?"
MA leg, ma leg!'' shrieked the ped
dler "He got ALA da mon-alla da
mon."
The detectives took him to the hall
way where they had seen him hop out
and found an interpreter who explained
the mystery of Tony sedemands for his
leg.
Casey and Van Biskirk made a thor
ought search of the room. then went tc
the cellar. Tony hoped down after
them. Under the stairway they found
the wooden leg. Tony uttered a cry oi
joy, but when he thrust his hand into
the followed out space it was empty.

The prevailing opinion in Los Angeles
last night concerning the meeting that
was held in Chicago Saturday to decide
as to where the convention of the N. e.
A. should be held, was that the meeting
had been held over until Monday. No
dispatches have been received by any
of the committeeman who have been
making endeavors to have the meeting
held in Los Angeles. The convention
was to have been held in San Francisco.
Berkeley and Los Angeles are the only
two cities that have liked for the con-
places.
Local educators have been making
strong endeavors to secure the meet
ing, believing that 1t would be more
beneficial to the city now than it would
have been before the disaster, because
1t would show the people from the east
that Los Angeles Is immune from the
earthquake shocks.
Los Angeles Probable Meeting Place
Local educators believe that Los An

LEWISTOWN, Pa, April 29.-Mrs.
Carrie Mason of Whetstones, now
known as the amazon of Huntingdon
County" Is languishing in the county
prison charged with assault and bat
tery aggravated assault with intent to
kill, resisting an officer and half a
dozen other offenses, all on account of
NANCY yellow dog.
A few days ago two of Mrs. Masor's S
sons visited Mount Union and returned
home with a yellow cur. Shortly after
ward the owner succeeded in locating
the animal and went after him but had
to run for his life when the woman
and her sons attacked him..
Returning to Mount Union the man
procured writ of replevin and sent
Constable Rodgers to serve 1T. The con-
stable came back covered with bruises
and with his clothes In rags, having re-
ceived terrific thrashing at the hands
of the angry dame. Clamoring for ven-
geance, he swore out warrant for the
arrest of the woman and placed 1t in
the hands of Policeman William Strait
ford, who deputized Alton Fields ana
Arthur Hill to assist in the arrest.
When the three men reached the
house Stratford stationed his deputies
front and rear and entered the house.
Mrs Mason was sitting on the floor
peeling potatoes. Stratford placed his
hand on her shoulder and began to
read the warrant in an impressive
voice. The woman paid no attention to
the doucment, but picking up a hatchet,
chopped off his right ear. There her
triumphant career ended, for Stratford
knocked her down and sat on her body
until Fields placed handouts on her
wrists.
At this juncture one of the sons en-
tered, and, pointing a double-barrel
shotgun at the pair, ordered them to
leave Immediately. Deputy Hill, how
ever, showed the muzle of a revolver

north, the directors of the association
never have wavered in their determina-
tion to push it to completion. The
thought of abandoning the attempt to
raise money for this purpose was not
entertained for moment.
Extend Time Limit
Owing to the circumstances they
found 1t necessary to extend the time
limit to May 21, but beyond that they
have made no change whatever in their
plans. In the intervening three weeks
the canvass for funds will be pushed
with even greater vigor than before,
and the directors are confident that the
balance of about $130,000 still needed
to complete the fund of 100000 Will
be raised in that time.
Need Now Emphasized
The earthquake in the north has
served to emphasize the need Of an
adequate Y. M. G. A. building in Los
Angeles. Not only are there already
thousands of young men to be cared
for here, but 1t is reasonable to sup
pose that thousands more will be
drawn to this city as a result Of the
exodus from San Francisco of people
who have been rendered homeless.
This will make the problems confront
ing the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation all the harder to solve. The
problems cannot be solved properly un-
less suitable quarters are provided for
the purpose. The directors are conn.,
dent the people of Los Angeles will
cooperate with them in subscribing
funds for the proposed new building.

turned to the machine with a fresh
supply he poured some of it into a
