FIRE DRILL PREVENTS A PANIC.
E%ficiencyt OF System Demonstrated At the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum Fire.


The efficiency Of the fire drill in the
Hebrew Orphan Asylum at Amsterdam
venue and lSSth street was demonstrated
yesterday morning. when a fire in the base
ment Of the three story building caused the
1900 children to be awakened. Then they
qJicklv formed in line in the halls and
marched down to the lawn in safety.
The fire started in the driving room OF the
laundry. and before a porter discovered it It
had eaten it's way through the ceiling to the
hospital wards and apothecary's depart
ment on the ground floor. When the porter
found the blaze no rang the fire bells
throughout the building and called out the
reserves from the West l52d street station,
expecting a panic.
The asylum maintains an auxiliary fire
department. composed Of the Oldest boys,
none OF them over IL years old. The MEM
beers all went to their stations and in a
short time they had the institution apparatus
at work. The blaze had got beyond them,
however. and the city aremen had a Job
on their hands keeping 1t confined to the
basement and first floor.
Several children were in the ground floor
hospital ward. n they were carried out
by the older boys and the asylum en-
ployees. Then the boys were sent through
the dormitories to awaken the n
children. In some cases the children
were paralyzed with fear, and were carried
out by the juvenile life savers. The I 200
children waited In orderly ranks on the
lawn until the blaze was out. when thew

ORDERS C.O.D. JEWELS GALORE
IN ONE STORE SHE POSES As WIFE
or SENATOR TILLMAN.


A woman wearing good clothes and much
jewelry went into the store Of Tarrant d
Gismond, at I3 Maiden Lane, on Tuesday
afternoon and said that she was the wife Of
Senator .Tillman of South Carolina and
hat she was putting up at the Hotel Aston.
She looked over many rings. bracelets
and the like and selected about 81. 900 worth,
asking that the valuables he sent to the
hotel ON credit.
The store took the trouble to find out
whether the woman was putting up at the
hotel, and when it was reported that she
was not q guest there the woman, who was
waiting, left the store. The jewelry was not
sent. In order to protect the other mer-
chants of the Maiden Lane district word was
sent aroLnd about the bogus Mrs. Tillman.
Yesterday afternoon the same woman
called at the store of r. W. Brewers Son, at
81 John street, and gave n $500 G. o. ID.
order, which she wanted sent to the Hotel
kniCkerbocker. She said she was the
wife Of another well known public man
this time. The firm found out that no such

Before word got to Lieut.. Andrew Nugent.
who is stationed in the Maide Lane district,
the woman had rome to the store Of Ludwig
Nizzen a Co, at John street and Broadway,
where she honored the firm with a $1,000
diamond purchase. which was to be sent
"a the Knickerbocker.
Lieut. Nugent caught sight OF the woman
just as she was leaving the Niggen store
and followed her to John and Nassau stress,
where he arrested her. As none Of the
Nugent couldn't get a complainant to APP
pear against her. and he arraigned her
in the Tombs court a. a suspicious person.
The woman said she was label Loomis.
~ years old. q trained nurse OF 8 West l06th
street. She was remanded to Police Head
quarters without bail, n was sent to the
Mercer street station.
When questioned in the Detective Bureau
as to why she made these purchases of Jew
elry and ordered them sent TO hotels where
she would have difficulty in claiming them
she said
Il never expected to claim any Of the
jewelry. wanted to make some little
purchases, hut the prices OF everything L
saw were away above my p~ocketbook.
After the statesmen had wasted 80 much
time waiting on me l didn't have the nerve
TO go out without buying something. l
thought ! could get on easily by having
the things sent to some hotel under a name
other than my own"
Lieut.. Nugent was much puzzled by
the woman's story. He thought such
refnarknDie pohteness WASN'T proDaDie,
and was out last night trying to dig up
evidence to show that the woman had
some scheme for Getting the tevslry from
the hotels.

Nugent to defend the Interests OF the
western Federation OF Miners at Boise.
The 4 day Haywood autographed again
saying that press dispatches indicated
enemies OF the Western Federation to i'm
plicate the organization in grave crimes.
The Federation, Haywood wired, defended
none Of its member who were guilty Of
crime, but in most cases where Federation
men were accused they were found to be-
innocent.
Have Mr.. Nugent take up Hogan's de-
fence the telegram ended, so that II in
nocent he may be discharged"
The local union secretary wrote that to
take up Hogan's defence might give the
enemies Of the federation an opening,
but the secretary responded that the fedora
ton must defend itself. AZ the capitalistic
press would do all in its power to direct
suspicion at the organization. Accordingly,
Meyer testified, Fred Miller of Spokane
came TO Denver early in February and
was engaged by the federation leaders to
defend Hogan or Orchard.
Il gave Mr.. Miller 81 500 OF the fedora
tons money for shat purpose, " said Meyer.
The witness then told of his arrest as he
vas boarding a train in Denver to go to
Dakota on federation business. he said.
He had with him a Colt 3 automatic revolver
which he gave to the deputy sheriff who
made the arrest. He was not allowed TO
tell many details Of the trip TO Boise. the
Court holding that to he immaterial. He
stated, however, that Bulkeley Wells,
Adiutant-General Of the State OF Colorado,
was in command Of the train and locked
and unlocked the handouts which the wit
ness wore on his wrists. He believed Wells
was a member of the Mine Owners Assoc
citation of Colorado.
In addition to the prisoners, the witness
said, there were on the train two members
OF the Colorado National Guard. two Pinker-
ton detectives, a gunman or two, and
Prison Guard Mills of the State renitentiary.
who took TO Idaho Gov. Gooding's applioa-
ton for the extradition of the federation
leaders.
This brought barrow to the end Of the
direct examination, and simultaneously the
end Of the afternoon session. Tomorrow
morning Senator Borah will turn on the
.searchlight OF cross-examination.
