HOODOO" CAUSES A BLAZE
Apartment in the Madrid Gets Afre
at Early Hour.
Mrs. I. n. Sykes and Daughter Put
out Flames While NfghtgOvn
Panic Ensues on Stairways.

The "hoodOO" that Mrs. I. H. Sykes. who
lives az the Madrid apartment house. has
declared 20 haunt that establishment
since the recent preparation OF two rob
berries there, put in its appearance again
early yesterday morning. causing a small
blaze in Mrs. Sykes apartment and a
panic among the other occupants OF the
building.
Mrs Sykes, who is sixty years old,
awoke about o'clock yesterday morn
ing to find the room full of smoke. Call
ing her daughter, Mrs. L. G. Foster. she
made her way 10 the kitchen and found
the pantry ablaze. The two women. as
sisted by Charles c. Barton. who occu-
pies neighbOring apartment, fought the
flames with buckets and pitchers of
water, ard had the fire nearly out, when
Policeman T. s. Bradshaw, OF the Tenth
precinct who saw the flames from the
street, rushed into the building and
aroused its occupants. Cries Of fire served
10 frighten the suddenly awakened women
and children, and there was a mad scam
per for the stairs of persons garbed only
for the downy comforts OF their beds.
Patrolman Bradshaw had also turned IN
an alarm. and the hrazen clang Of the fire
department gongs added to the confusion.
The frensn found but a flicker Of flame
left 70 extinsuish. and the relieved occu-
pants Of the apartment left their chilly
positions on the stairways and in the
corridors and went back to bed.
Mrs. Sykes told the policeman and fire.
men that she was now positive of tba
genuine character Of the "hoodoo" that
shares her apartment with her only a
few weeks ago the apartment house was
entered by burglars. and on a second oc-
casion they got into my apartment ana
took my jewelTy. which was returned 70
me after the arrest Of the robbers" she
said. And now it's fire. I'm afraid it's
a real hoodoo. and what will happen next
goodness only knows.
