CAPT. RYAN KILLED
FIRE FIGHTER MEETS DEATH IN
 HARNESS.
Was Crushed By Falling Wall at Spec tacular Destruction of Car Barn of New York Railway
 Company.

New York, April Sire early this morning destroyed the combined car barn and power plant of the New York City Railway Company, covering the greater part of the block bounded by Lenox Avenue and One Hundred and Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh Streets and Seventh Avenue.
 The loss will reach nearly a million dollars. More than 300 cars were burned and the plant. except for the electrical department was destroyed.
 One fireman, Captain J. Ryan. was killed under & falling wall, and half a dozen firemen and others were more or less seriously injured. The injured are:
 Frederick J. Leopold. assistant en- gineman; William Symes. fireman; An thony Morse. car inspector; Thomas Francis, spectator; James Cannon, la borer; Mrs. Mary Lawson, overcome by smoke. None of the injured Is in a dangerous condition.
 The fire started in the big repair room where a large number of cars were stored and spread through the whole building with great rapidity. Captain Ryan's engine. with his crew and the crews of two engines were working in an alley outside the build ing when an explosion in the paint room on the fourth floor ripped out the west wall, sending tons of brick down on the firemen, carrying down the fire escapes on the rear of a row of fiat houses, and burying half dozen firemen in the ruins.
 A hundred men with picks and show els at once set to work to dig their comrades out of the ruins to which the fire had spread. Captain Ryan was the first man taken from the heap of de- bris by the rescuers. He was horri- bly crushed and still alive when taken on the ground in the driving rain. There a priest knelt and administered the last sacraments of the church a moment before Ryan died.
 One by one the firemen were dug out and hurried away to hospitals. In the meantime the fire in the. car barn had practically burned itself out, and the flat houses in the rear had been dam aged to the extent of $25,000. Three hundred open or summer cars, valued at $5,000 each, which had been stored in the barn. were destroyed.

MAY MEET MONDAY
MUNICIPAL CODE COMMITTEE TO
 HOLD SESSION.
Eight Legislators Named to Prepare General Act Providing Uniferm Charter Forms fer Cities to
 Arrange it's Work.

The joint committee from the Leg islature whose duty is the preparation of a general municipal charter bill, may meet in Montgomery Monday The committee, consisting of five mem bers of the House and three of the Senate. has no officers and its conven- tion Is therefore fraught with unusual difficulty.
 Hon. Gaston Gunter.'a Representa- tive of Montgomery in the House. was the first named member of the com mittee, and the priority of his ap- pointment and his recognized fitness for the task may lead to his election to the chairmanship of the committee.
 The members beside Mir. Gunter are Senator J. 6 Strother of Tallapoosa. Senator Norman Gum of Clarke. Sem ator c. B. Teasley of Montgomery. representing the Senate; and Repre- sentative Jere c. King of Jefferson. c. M. sherrod of Lawrence. J. H. Crawford of Walker. and J. H. Nor- vile of Mobile. representing the House.
 Several members have unofficially announced that they wish the meet ing of the committee to be held before May 10. 1t was stated yesterday that an attempt would be made to bring majority of the members 10 Mont- gomery Monday, when a time Of meet ing could be determined for the whole committee. Several members have written to MT. Gunter asking that he take the matter up. He said last night that he intended to communicate with his colleague this week.
 The purpose of the committee Is to draft bill which shall contain unf- form charter forms for the cities of the State. which will be divided into classes, each class having charter. This procedure would make 1t possi- bIe for the individual cities to have wider scope in the preparation of their charters and grant them prac- ticai powers of amendment denied un- der the Constitution, which prohibits the passage of special local legislation contemplating the amendment of mu- nicipal charters.
