FIRE SWEEPS M. 0. FERRY HOUSE.
Temporary Buildings at South Ferry De-
stroyed-Hard Work for Firemen.

Fire nearly destroyed the temporary buildings
and the westerly slip of the new Staten Island
ferry yesterday morning. 1t was extinguished
only after A desperate fight both by the land
engines and their crews and the men of the
f1reboats New Yorker and William l. Strong.
To add to the troubles of the flremen the fire
spread rapidly from the fiimsy frame structure
TO the piling of the bridge and slips, and the
only way the flames could be reached was from
rafts in the slip.
Half dozen fremen had to be dragged
out of the water after they had been swept
from rowboats and RATS by the twisting of the
heavy pipe lines from the powerful pumps of
the freboats.
The municipal ferryboat West Brooklyn had
to be driven out into midstream under her own
steam. The Manhattan poking her way into the
slip from Staten Island with sixteen brewery
wagons and a crowd of passengers, had to back
out hut finally the passengers were discharged.

came from the fmsy structures on the pier He

and if il had been destroyed, the completion Of
the arrangements for the municipal ferry ser
vice would have been delayed six months
J. F. Ambrose superintendent of the city
ferry, said that in his opinion the fire was caused
by hot GOALS falling on waste that had been
thrown on the dock by members of the crews
Of the three revenue cutters which berth to the
west of where the fire was There are tre Hud-
son, the Manhattan and the Calumet Crews
from these cutters early at work fighting
the fire. but Acting Chief Bnns said that the
crew Of the Hudson refused to pull the cutter
out of the berth to let the New Yorker get
10 work in an advantageous position. He added
anGrily that he would call the attention of the
Fire Commissioner to the matter.

SMITH CONTROLS PARTY
Names Firth Speaker in Nelc Jersey
Democratic Caucus.
IRy go . The --.bune. ]


Trenton. Dec. 1l.-The Democratic members
elect OF the House of Assembly. who constitute
2 majority OF that body. met here in caucus to-
day 10 select a speaker and TO apportion the
House officers 10 the various counties. The
caucus resulted in the choosing of Joseph II.
Firth. of Wren County. for Speaker by vote
OF Is to 13 for Joseph =. Riordan, of Hudson
County. This WAS a victory for ex-United States
Senator James Smith. jr. over Robert Davis. the
Democratic leader OF Hudson County.
While extremely orderly the caucus
marked by good deal of bitterness. The Hud-
son men took the defeat OF Riorian much TO
heart and made some singing remarks An
attempt was made by the Hudson men to upset
are slate by Offering to support Assemblyman
Wright. OF Essex County for Speaker. but Mr.
Wright declined TO stand.
In nominating Mr. Riordan. Assemblyman
Alexander said that Hudson for harmony
and charged Essex with betraying Mr.. Wright.
Mr.. Tumulty. in seconding Mr.. Rordans nom
ination. said that the Hudson members were
opposed TO any man affiliated with interests OPP
posed 10 the interests Of the people.
Abram Klenert, of Passaic, elected chair
man of the caucus. which carries with it the
House leadership. It is understood that
State Senator Lewis ]. Martin. of Sussex, will
be Speaker Firths private secretary.
HUDSON BOSS oUTGENERALED
Faces Of Democrats who have not been seen
around the corridors for many years We're in
evidence. and old leaders We're busy. The alb
solute supremacy OF Smith was evident, and
Davis received decisive defeat, although he
may recover some prestige before the session is
over. Smith outgeneraled the doughty Hudson
boss all along the line. He changed his plans
frequently, but every change 10 his ad-
vantage. With the assistance Of William B.
G0urley and Thomas B. Flynn. Smith took four
of the FIVE Passaic votes from John Hinchlffe,
who was backing Davis and supposed he con-
trolled the Passaic delegation.
Another thing that was made evident as the
result OF the days work was that, if there is n
real. lasting compact between Smith and John
F. Dryden. the former deliver the goods and
the latter can be reelected United States Sem
