PIPE
IN BED, FIRE
STARTED
Several Persons, Asleep in
Academy Street Building,
Narrowly Escape.

Smoking a pipe in bed nearly cost
the lives of several persons and the de-
struction of a two-story frame dwell
ing at 1s4 Academy street, at 11:3o
last night
1t developed that boarder who was
enjoying a smoke dozed into a sleep
and his pipe dropped from his mouth
and, after smouldering, set fire to the
bed clothing.
All this occurred in the apartments
of Rosa Mecca, on the first floor, and
fortunately one of the members of the
family happened to be reading a paper
in an adjoining room. He quietly
aroused the Inmates of the house, who
had retired, and all had sufficient time
to don their wearing apparel and leave
the house
1t is said that the flames could have
been extinguished by the men in the
house with several buckets of water
but this was not thought of because
of the excitement, and an alarm was
sent in from box 715. The fire was
extinguished by the use of chemicals
II was confined to the room in which
Il originated and the loss was trifiing.

ACQUITTED OF KILLING
MOTHER BY POISON.
Chicago Woman Must Now Stand Trial
for the Death of Her
Father

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-Mrs. Mary
Sladek, charged with poisoning her
mother, Mrs Mary Mette, and her
father. was acquitted last night by a
jury of matricide. Mrs. Sladek is still
under indictment for the death of her
father.
The deaths occurred early this year,
the entire Mette family, consisting of
father, mother and three sons. having
become violently i'll after eating food
which had been prepared by Mrs.
Sladek
The State charged that Mrs. Sladek
had attempted to exterminate the fam
lily. advancing as a motive a desire on
her part to profit by insurance carried
by her parents. Mrs. Sladek herself
appeared to have been affected by
poison. but it was charged that her Ill
ness was slammed. Her husband, who
was in the West at the time, and her
brothers forsook her after her indict-
ment. and she was alone, in her fight
for acquittal.
Mrs. Sladek while at the County
Hospital eight weeks ago gave birth
to girl baby. BY special order OF
court Mrs. sladelS was removed from
the jail in order that the child might
not bear an unnecessary stigma.

ORDERED
Chief Justice Directs That
It Take Place Before
November Is.

Chief Justice Gummere, in the SUI
preme Court circuit today directed
that the County Board of Elections
begin recount OF the aldermanic vote
in the First Ward at some date not
later than November 25. The specific
time will be settled upon by the County
Board of Elections, before whom the
recount will take place.
City Counsel James r. Nugent pre-
sented the papers in the case on be-
half of Alderman Joseph A. Wright,
Democrat. who has instituted the pro-
ceedings on the ground that a recount
would show that he, and not William
u. Masker. his Republican rival, had
been elected.
on the face /of the official returns
Masker was elected over Wright by
two votes. Last year the official re-
turns showed Masker the winner by
eight votes, with Wright as his OPP
ponent, for the unexpired term of Ar
thur Haslam, resigned, A recount re-
suited in several of MaslSer votes being
thrown out because Of misprinted past
ers, and Wright was declared the win
ner by twenty-three votes.

SKYSCRAPER'S
REAL FIRE
TEST
Flames on Top Floor Of II.
Story Office Building
Easily Extinguished.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.AFire broke
out ON the top floor of the Broadway
and Maiden Lane Office Building early
today, and for a time 1T looked as
though the fire department would have
its propAszfe sand bizhawhaa
dreaded opportunity TO demonstrate
how 1t could cope successfully with a
big fire at the top of a slkyscraper.
The blaze, however, did not prove serl-
Gus and was soon controlled by the use
of the buildings private apparatus
The damage was not great.
The building is owned by the Broad
way Building Company. and is situated
at the corner of the streets from which
it derives its name and directly oppo-
site the Singer building, which rises
to a height of forty-three stories on
Broadway.
The flames started on the inezzanine
floor under the roof, and were not dis
covered until they burst through the
roof and threw glare of light into
nearby office buildings. The fire at
tracted attention first in the Western
Union building where night employees
on the upper floors were startled by the
reflection of the flames. So far above
the street was the fire that 1t was not
seen from the street until it had gained
some headway. The building is seven
teen stories high, and while fairly
dwarfed by the Singer building oppo-
site, was high enough to test the re-
sources of the department in the mat
ter of reaching unusual heights
Before the fire department arrived
the watchman and half dozen po-
licemen entered the building and took
the elevator to the roof. Determining
the extent of the blaze, they set the
buildings apparatus In operation and
soon had stream that proved suffi-
cieut on the flames. When the firemen
arrived they coupled their hose to the
standpipes which range up along the
outside of the building. Almost inn
mediately the hose burst under pres
sure from No. 6, the departments most

Individual and concerted action is
being taken by organized labor MEM
bers to assist in putting a stop to
union men and women Withdrawing
their savings from the banks in order
70 relieve the stringency in the money
market. This action is being taken on
account of the cessation of work in
many trades, because the employers,
who cannot get money enough to pay
the weekly wage, have been forced to
reduce their forces, and in many cases
close down altogether.
A personal appeal has been made to
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. to is
sue a statement as the head of the
great federation to all men and women
afiliated with the labor movement to
leave their money in the banks or
restore that which has been taken out.
The Essex Trades Council, at a
meeting last night, took a decided
stand against the withdrawal of money
from the banks, and the Building
Trades Council will take similar action.
Both organizations have felt the full
force of the cessation of work because
Of the scarcity Of money.
Thomas j. McHugh, one of the most
prominent leaders in this city and
State, after consulting with other la
bor leaders in this vicinity, sent the
following letters to Samuel Gompers,
president of the A. F. of L., yesterday,
asking him to relieve the situation as
much as possible:
';Mr Samuel Gompers,
president American Federation Oh
Labor:
Dear Sin and Brother:
Financial conditions in this country
have come to such pass as TO require
