MORROW DECLINED
TO SANCTION PLAN
Would Not Agree to Change
of System in PurchaS-
ing Supplies.

A resolution to be introduced soon
after the reCOnVening OF Congress pro-
Viding that District government supplies
be purchased together with Federal
Government supplies and by Federal
officials, rather than through the Dis
trict property clerk. is expected 10 con-
firm the apparently well-authorized
story that Engineer Commissioner Jay
J. MORROW was sUmmarily removed by
the President because he refused 10 ap-
prove Of such a plan.
As published exclusively in The Times
yesterday, II is now well understood
that Major MOrrow's UndipIomatic reply
10 the Presidents suggestion that sup
plies be purchased in this way caused
his immediate removal Monday after
noon and the appointment in his stead
Of Major Spencer Cosby. Despite Of
fetal reticence, both at the District
Building anu at the White House. as TO
the exact tenor Of the correspondence. e.
the correctness Of the story is not to
be doubted.
Through Federal Channels.
The President. it is understood. has
for some time thought that District
government supplies might be pur-
chased to better advantage through
the regula- Federal channels. The
present Law provides that they must be
purchased by and kept under the Gus
tody Of the District property clerk
The President. IT is said, advocated a
change in writing the Commissioners
last week. Commissioners Macfariaud
and West are said to have replied diplo-
matically, suggesting that at present
such a plan would be contrary TO stat
ute, but that if the law were changed
the suggestion would be agreeable TO
them
Major Morrow. on the other hand, is
understood to have gone up in the
air. as the saying goes, and to have
replied rather und'plomatically to Mr..
Roosevelt, intimating that the Presi-
dents suggestion carried with it a SEEM
ing lack Of faith in the administrative
ability of the Engineer Commissioners
office. and making it plainly evident
that he Major MorrOw) did not relish
such a suggestion.
Relieved of Duties.
This letter is said to have been sent
Saturday afternoon. The War DEPART

that Major Morrow be relieved of his

THRILLING RESCUES

Twenty Persons Overcome by
Smoke, But No Lives Lost.
Property Damage Heavy.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-An entire city
block, closely built with apartment
houses, was completely wiped out and
over 1000 persons we're driven homeless
and half-clad into a bitter snowstorm
early today by the most disastrous fire
that has visited Brooklyn in years.
When, after a fight Of hours. the big
army of firemen finally gained control.
the block between Third and Second
avenues and Forty-fourth and Forty
NTH streets was a black panorama OF
smoking ruins.
Twenty persons were overcome by
smoke. but no lives were lost and hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars worth OF
property was destroyed Only the de-
termined work OF the frebOat Seth Low
saved the great Bush docks after the
flames had swept across the block
from Third avenue and threatened TO
jump across Second avenue.
Brave policemen and firemen raced
up and down ladders through smoke
and flame in the Railways. bringing out
the terrOr-striCken. half-ChOHed tenants,
and every five minutes saw a thrilling
rescue. The ice on the fire-escapes rem
dered them useless.
Boys HeroiSm.
Charles Donaldson, an eiEht-year-Old
boy. refused TO leave a smOke-flled
room until two policemen who had
climbed up TO save them, hrst carried
his mother and sister down the ladder.
When they returned for him he was
almost unconscious

Under 4 new plan for rural telephone

phone and Telegraph company, owners
of farms, country homes of city business
people, clubs, camps. stores, etc. in places
having d population of 1000 or less, can
have telephone connections with the gem
eral system Of New England at very
moderate cost. The principal features
Of this plan are the construction Of local
Zines by subscribers themselves and CON
nection with the nearest central office Of
the Vermont Telephone and Telegraph
company, which makes 4 charge of So
cents per month for residences and 70
cents per month for places Of business,
to cover the cost OF operating. The
subscribers get unlimited communiea-
tions with all the subscribers Of the ok.
change with which they are connected,
and access to the toll lines covering all
New England and the eastern part Of
the United States. This arrangement
Is Of peculiar advantage to subscribers
for this class OF service Half dozen or
more neighbours may elub together, cut
their own poles, do their own work of
construction, buying only wire, glass in
sulators and brackets, purchase their in
strnments outright or lease them from
the company if preferred. This plan en-
ables residents Of localities too remote

as that Of nearby towns and cities, and
