Vestigation.

AS the result of the fire in the building
belonging to Samuel Gross, at 2S BrooIne
street. yesterday, which was caused by
matches in clothes that were being cleaned,
resulting in an explosion of gasoline, G.
Albert Gasser, superintendent of combus-
tibles OF the fire department, has sent for
Gross TO be at his office tomorrow morning
to show cause why his license to keep fifty
gallons OF benzine should not be revoked.
For the last eight months the buildings at

spoke to our guide about 1t he said that
showed to the Chinese Idea a very busy
and prosperous city.
THE most of the people / saw at Pekin
were the attendants at the various tenn
pies we visited. They certainly were
busy bleeding us for money from the time
we entered until we left. At first we COM
menced giving the attendants ten-cent
pieces mex, but even at this rate we
soon discovered our money would not last.
Finally one of our number conceived the
idea of getting some Chinese cash tyou get
LOCO cash for n Mexican dollar), so after
we had supplied ourselves with a canvas

very unsatisfactory TO the attendants.
However, we enjoyed their discomfort as

TELLS OF TUNNELS
WILL RUN TRAINS IN THIRTY
DAYS, SAYS ENGINEER.
In Illustrated Lecture at Summit He
Explains How Under-riverASysz
tenn Will Be Perfectly Safe.N


SUMMIT, Dec. 17.-Members of the Sum
nit Board of Trade met last night for their
last meeting of the year. and after naming
a nominating committee, whose duty 1t Is
to select officers for 1903, the board ad-
iourned to odd Fellows Hall and there
listened to an interesting illustrated lee
ture by j. VIpond Davies. chief engineer
Of the Hudson Tunnel system.
The hall was comfortably fHed. The lee
ture was held under the auspices Of the
Board of Trade
The views displayed showed workings in
the tunnel from the inception of the work
until the present day, and these had a
double interest because the inner work.
ings of the big tubes were clearly por-
traYed ON the canvas. In his lecture Mr..
Davies said among other things;
1T was Colonel Haskins's idea of under
ground travelling away back in 1869 that
first gave the promoters of the Hudson
River tunnel their first thought of tunnel
ing the river. and in 1874. when the first
work was attempted it failed, and was
taken up later by an English syndicate.
which also failed. These failures made 1t
difficult to get men and money to put
through the present project. These fail
ures were due 10 the fact hat brick was
selected rs the material to use"
The speaker went on to tell what the
builders of the Hudson River tunnel are
doing today. 4 want to tell you about
today, We are running cars down into
the tunnel at Hoboken terminal. BY next
months we will be running trains, whether
for pay or not remains to be scene.
Practise trains will be running within
thirty days at any rate, md when in
operation seven or eight minutes will be
consumed in going from the Hoboken
terminal TO Sixth avenue and Eighteenth
street, Manhattan.
safety is the great question being asked
about. Each ring in our TUNE plates is
made OF iron and weighs 10000 pounds.
The walls running on either side Of the
rails are made of concrete and are built
so as TO be on a level with the car floors.
I'm case a car is derailed in the tunnel
these side walls hold the train up and they
cannot 81 very far. Then again each car
is provided with side doors as well as end
doors. Our tracks have for foundations
solid beds of concrete, and on these are
built the ballast works"
The speaker in concluding said that he
felt the nervous feeling of women, and he
took pains in explaining pictures of the
interior Of the tunnel for their benefit, as
he recognized that unless the fair sex
were satisfied it would be hard to get the
men to use the system.

Tunnel Workers Rescue Three
From Thirty-third Street
Building--P Panic in Mulberry
Street Tenement House
Prevented by Policeman.

NEW YORK, Dee. 1.-Two young
women were injured, scores partly
overcome by smoke and two tunnel
workers risked their lives at fires
which broke out here today.
The first and most serious conflagra-
ton destroyed a six-story tenement at
A Mulberry street. The other blaze
started in a building at 81 West
Thirty-third street, near the Waldorf
Astoria. At the Mulberry street fire
hundreds of persons were penned in
by a heavy oak door.
Many were trampled and all were
affected by the smoke, but before the
flames broke through into the hallway
a policeman, who had climbed to the
second floor, managed to persuade the
frightened crowd to flee back UP the
stairways and trust to the fire escapes
for safety.
There, terrified by the great volume
of smoke that poured from every win
dow in the building, two young women
lost control of themselves and, al
though policemen who saw them poised
on the fire-escape rails, pleaded with
them to wait-telling them that they

PENSION, FUND
FOR FIREMEN
GETS FEES
Those Paid to COmbus.
tibleS Department. urn-
ed Over After Opinion.

Replying to a letter from Fire Com
missioner Edward e. Gnichtel, chair
maj of the committee on c~ombustibles
and fire risks, to the city law depart
ment, asking where fees accruing from
the issuing of permits by the Bureau of
Combustibles should go, City Counsel
James r. Nugent today rendered an
opinion, stating that such moneys
should be paid to the city treasurer
and should go to the pension fund of
the fire department. In accordance
with this opinion C. Albert Gasser, SUI
p~erintendent of the combustible de-
partment. today paid to City Treasurer
Albert Guenther 1923. 20, this sum rep
~resenting the amount of money re-
ceived from the creation of the bureau
to December l, which has been depos-
tied in the bank. OF this sum 1899 was
for permits. the deposit being on the
~Ironbound Trust Company, and a re-
ceipt for $19 paid to Comptroller j.
Henry Bachelor, together with $3.50
interest on the money deposited with
the trust company.
City Counsel Nugent said that the
bureau of combustibles is a part of the
fire department, and is under an act
of 1894 providing that all moneys of
such departments in cities of the first
class shall be turned yer to the treas
urer and that the money should not be
deposited In the bank. The opinion
further stated that the funds in the
future should be turned over to the
treasurer monthly, and recommended
that under the present condition the
money turned over to the city treas
urer today should be given to the PEN
sion fund by resolution of Common
Council.
Since the inception of the bureau
there has been some doubt in the
minds of the commissioners as to
where the money accruing should go,
and pending the decision of the city
counsel they have been deposited in
the bank. From now on the superin-
tendent of the department will turn
the receipts over to the city treasurer
each month, and then by resolution
Common Council will apply the money
to the pension fund of the fire depart
ment for the maintenance and sup
port of the department.

YANKEE BISHOPS WIN
IN PHILIPPINE COUNCIL.
Catholic Church to Place Chinese on
Basis of Americans-Foreign
Prelates Opposed Step.

MANILA, Dec. 1.-THE first pro-
vinclal council of the Catholic Church
in the history of the Philippine
Islands is now in session in this city.
The bishop and clergy are consider
ing matters important to the Chinese,
of which the most important is the
placing of the Chinese upon an Ameri-
can basis.
The Spanish and other clergy con-
form, it is understood, with this de-
cision, which is the result of instruc-
tons given by the Pope.
A magnificent torchiight procession
of $4,000 men, women and children took
place in honor of the event, which is
considered a complete victory for the
American bishops who control Chinese
affairs here. The opposition to the
measure is principally from foreign
priests In outlying districts.
