That many physicians of this city are strongly in
favor OF open air treatment of many diseases in

COULDN'T FIGHT BLAZE
Factory Burns Second Time for
Lack of Engines and Water.

Fire destroyed the extensive tar works of the
Rand company on Meeker avenue near New
town Creek, Williamsburg yesterday afternoon.
Had there been firc-fghting facilities in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of the factory the place
might have been saved As It was the nearest
fire hydrant was about 500 feet distant The
buildings were partly destroyed by fire last sum
mer, and the rebuilding was only recently COM
pleted.
Yesterday afternoons fire was caused by pot
of tar boiling over. There were about a dozen
men at work in the building at the time and
they made a desperate effort to extinguish the
fire, narrowly escaping with their lives. BY
rolling out into the open many barrels of naph-
tha these men prevented explosion that might
have cost many lives.
The nearest fire engine was more than mile
and half distant. and by the time it reached
the street nearest the blaze the entire tar works
was aflame. Then it discovered that the
water pressure was very weak. AS the build
ing seemed doomed the firemen turned their at
tention to the surrounding property. The loss
was estimated at about $4,000.
For years manufacturers In the neighborhood
have clamored for a fire company. and have even
offered site and a building if the municipal
authorities would equip It.

Jim Mason Arrested on Sew
eral Serious
Charges.
PASSED BAD CHECKS.
Several Merchants Caught
For Small Sums. He
Awaits Trial.

A young man named Jim Mason,
20 years old, was arrested by Officers
ClaXton and Broderick Thursday,
upon several charges of forgery and
also for violating a livery contract.
He was arrested first on a warrant
sworn out by Gee & Southall. livery
men. He hired a buggy Wednesday
to be returned at noon but was still
driving about in the vicinity of Penn
broke Wednesday when arrested
and locked up. He was transferred
to the county authorities yesterday.
Mason is charged with forging
three S. checks on his uncle, Lindsay
Mason, One was cashed by L. l..
Elgin. This one was written for
Mason by a merchant who witnessed
his mark, as he said he could not
write. Another. was passed on Sam
Frankel, who gave S4 in change.
The other was cashed in the same
way by E. S. Mellen, a sewing ma
chine man. One of these checks
was written for him by a merchant.
He had his hand wrapped up and
made his mark with his left hand.
Still another S. check was presented
at the Commercial & Savings Bank
by a negro boy who said Mason had
obtained drink and the cash on the
check at Henderson's saloon. Mason
himself appeared at the same bank
and attempted to nvercheck his &C
count $40, as he had recently had
$40 there. Two SIS checks had taken
it all out.
The young man has given his
age as Is, % and 20. He says 20 is
his real age and this is apparently
true. He is a son of jim Mason, of
the Fairview neighborhood.
None of the money secured on the
forged checks was recovered.
Mason has not been tried.
