IMPROVISED FIRE ESCAPES.
Fifteen Men swarm Dow Rope Flung to
Them; Others Use Aprons.

A fire was discovered at $50 yesterday
afternoon on the third floor Of the six story
building at 47S and $50 Pearl street, oocu-
pied by the Boissier Electric Company.
The building is filed with shops, and there
was a rush Of mechanics to get out from all
sides.
Fifteen men got to a window on the fifth
floor, with no way of getting down to the
roof Of the next building, twenty feet below
Their cries attracted the attention of Paul
Gaturna. He managed to throw a rope
into the window; the men made 1t fast on
a hinge of the shutter and slid down it to
the roof. John Brophy OF 1875 Bowery cut
his hands 80 badly that an ambulance sur
geon had to dress them.
While this was going on there was a com
motion on another side of the building,
where a lot of men were hanging out Of the
windows. Finally, Fred Hummell, a fore
man, tied together several leather aprons,
hung them out the window, and the men
crawled down by them and dropped from
the end ten feet to a lumber pile. John
Brodizk of So Cherry street broke his wrist
and Robert Seeley of 80 John street sprained
his ankle in making their escape in this way.
The fire was confined to the first floor.
The police estimated the damage at IS 900.

Moscow, March 20.-~Twenty-fve armed
bandits entered the Merchants Bank here
to-day and stole 90 900 rubles $45 ,O00). No
arrests nave been made.
The robbery was exceptionally daring.
All the banks are guarded by armed men
and the first step OF the raiders was to
seize and disarm the guards at the Mer-
chants Bank. Then an internal machine
was placed in a prominent position and
it was threatened that this would be ex-
ploded il resistance were offered. This
was effective and the money was easily
obtained. The leader departed with the
spoils, the others of the gang withdra wing
gradually, leaving the internal machine
behind them.
The incident is regarded as confirming

is alleged. order is only partially preserved.

JURY CENSURES HOSPITAL.
Coroner VIII Fight Practice OF Shifting
Dying People TO Bellevue.

A Coroner's jury under direction of Coro-
ner Hamburger brought in a verdict yester-
day censuring the authorities Of Fordham
Hospital for removing to Bellevue Hospital
William Cochran, who wa, injured on March
1 by a trolley car.
Cochran was knocked of a truck and
sustained an injury to his hip, q fracture
of the skull and a laoeration Of the brain.
He was removed to Fordham Hospital,
where his case was diagnosed as delirium
tremens and a bruised hip. On March 3
the patient was removed to Bellevue and
died within two hours after his arrival.
His case was diagnosed at Bellevue as
fracture of the skull and liberation Of the
brain.
Mrs. Cochran declared on the witness
stand that her husband was not a drinking
man, and to her knowledge 0as never
intoxicated.
DIR. Campbell of Fordham Hospital,
who attended to Cochran in the first in
stance admitted tha it was a dangerous
thing to remove a badly injured man from
one hospital to another. He said that
Cochran was removed to Bellevue because
he thought he was suffering from delirium
tremens.
Coroner Hamburger declared that he was
going to take steps to put a stop to the
practice Of making a dumping ground of
Bellevue. 1t has been a practice of certain
hospitals to send patients there when it is

TAFT PARTY DINNER.
The Trip to the Philippines Recalled
Foreign Life Reproduced.

WASHINGTON. March 20.-A dinner was
given this evening in honor Of Secretary
Taft by the members of the party which
accompanied him to the Philippines last
summer. 1t was held in the ballroom of
the New Willard Hotel, which vas trans
formed to resemble various parts of the
Orient and the Philippines.
In the centre Of the SOON was a huge
Filipino shack covering the table. There
was a reproduction of the steamship Man
churia tied to her dock and the ent rance

captain Of the vessel to welcome the party
At the end of the plank a Japanese servant
ushered the diners into Japan. All about
were Japanese blossoms and quaint huts
Next to Japan was a Philippine jungle
with a real caribou peeking through the
thick foliage. and behind him a, brilliant
sunset. Next to the jungle was a bit OF
Hawaii with a gorgeous sunset effect pro
duced by calcium lights from behind the
scenery.
At the extreme end of the room WAS the
gate to the city Of Pekin through which the
guests passed into the further ballroom.
By the side Of the gate wasa Chinese p goda

obtained with mirrors.
Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Long

BAILEYS RATE BILL MOVE.
Has nm Amendment Providing for n Just
Compensatory to Railroads.

WASHINGTON, March 20.--Another day of
conferences and interchange Of views on
the railroad rate question has brought tho
Senate no nearer to the solution Of the
question than il was several days ago.
The chief interest Of the day centred in an
amendment to the bill which Senator Bailey
OF Texas has prepared and will offer in
a day or two.
just at the close Of the morning business
Senators Bailey, Knox, Foraker and Crane,
representing about every shade of opinion
on the rate question, were engaged in an
earnest consultation which continued for
nearly an hour. Later Mr.. Deliver Joined
the conferees, but when questioned about
it he said:
w were simply exchanging early remi-
nlscences of boyhood days on the Monon-
gahela."~
Afterward Mr.. Dolliver admitted that he
had been permitted to see the amendment
which Mr.. Bailey had prepa red, and he dis
missed it with the remark:
1T will never do. II leads us into a
worse morass than anything yet proposed"
Speaking more specifically Mr.. Deliver
said that Mr.. Bailey's amendment, pro-
posed q rate that shall be "a just corhpen-
sation' to the carriers. He said also that
it was thoroughly preposterous to try to
determines what would constitute just
compensation" He declared that such a
proposition did not take into consideration
the subject Of determinations, which after
all was the great evil. He explained that
to determine what constituted just COM
pensation it would be necessary to consider
all the several hundred rates that a railroad
might make in the aggregate.
Mr.. Bailey framed the amendment at
the request of the minority members of
the committee. The amendment fu 7thsr
provides for an application to the United
States Circuit Court to have the rate re-
viewed.
Some of the Republican Senators sug-
gested that no agreement was likely 70 be
reached among the Republicans until after

ably Suggested Form Of Settlement.
WASHINGTON. March Pot can be safely
stated that an agreement will be reached
between Germany and rance at the Alge-
ciras conference within a few days. The
State Department is most optimistic, and
the indications are that an announcement
will be Forthcoming from Algeciras that
France and Germany have at last got
together on the questions of the policing Of
Morocco and the control Of an International
bank.
The State Department yesterday had
advices from Mr.. White, Ambassador to
Rome and head of the American mission at
Algeciras, which explain the optimistic
attitude OF the Department regarding the
outcome Of the conference. Upon just
what basis the conclusion will be reached
Is not given publicity here, and that feature
will doubtless be Withheld for a time. 1t
is known, however, that the Austrian plan
for the police control Of Morocco has not
been made to form a ground for an agree
ment, but that other propositions have been
presented which have found favor.
1t 10 understood that Mr.. White has been
active in bringing France and Germany to-
gether, but the State Department refuses
to tell just what Mr.. White has done, and

the conference as a German victory say
that if the agreement is that France and

There we're some hearings, but as Mr..

WASHINGTON. March 2o.-A circular has
been sent out from the State Department
to all diplomatic and consular officers in
forming them that they can no longer draw
on the Department for funds for expenses
because Congress has refused to include
in the Urgent Deficiency bill $4,000 for the
consular service and $50, 900 for the diplo-
matte service.
The State Department is embarrassed
and Inundated by the condition, which is
steadily growing worse. At various con.
sular Offices in many parts of the world
there is not even enough money to pay
postage and the efficiency Of the eervice is
very much impaired. In many cases the
consular or diplomatic officers pay for many
Government expenses out Of their W
pockets. As an illustration Of the on
ditions which are prevalent in American
foreign establishments, it is cited that such
is the condition Of the fund that the Amer1~
can Embassy in Paris canno afford a tele'
