Underwriters
RAISE FIGURE

A warm discussion took place al
the monthly meeting of the Board OF
Fire Underwriters this morning, in
the Office of Vail & Comegys, Smith
street, when a resolution was intro
duced raising the commission of the
so-called brokers, who get business
sometimes for the underwriters.
These men, who have no connec-
tion with insurance companies. but
who go to the underwriters and tell
them where insurance can be writ
ten, have been getting only ten per
cent, and they have found that New
York and Newark firms will pay
more.
To keep the business in this city a
resolution was introduced and after
warm argument it was passed.
From now on the so-called brokers
will receive ten per cent. for insur-
ance on asphalt and clay works and
hften per cent. for all other business.
The meeting lasted for some time
and arrangements were made for the
election of officers at the next regu-
lar meeting.

NEW YORK, Mar. 10:-Fire
which early today caused loss OF
$25O,000, in the heart of the retail
shopping district, injured twenty fire.
men, five of them seriously, nearly
caused the death of half a score OF
inmates of boarding house and, for
time, threatened to destroy the
immense Siegel-Cooper department
store. 1t required hours to subdue
the blaze.
The fire started on the second
floor of No. 3S West Eighteenth
street, directly opposite the Siegel-
Cooped department store. 1t was first
seen by Arthur Costello, a special DO
liceman. Chief Croker responded on
the first alarm, but by the time he
arrived flames had mounted to the
roof OF the six-story building in which
they had started and were beginning
to attack the seventh floor windows
of a newly constructed twelve-story
loft building at Nos. 32 to 36 West
Eighteenth street.
Several times the leaping flames
reached across the narrow street and
touched the walls of the Siegel- Coop
er building, and several streams were
turned on the building to stop the
fire from spreading there.
Sixth avenue was flooded for the
most of the time with a good twelve
inches OF water. 1t was feared that
the water would get into and fill the
new Hudson river tunnel, which runs
up Sixth avenue. Patrick Mulligan,
foreman employed by the tunnel
company, got band of workmen to-
getfer and brought great loads of
5at led cement to the place.
At Seventeenth street and at
Eighteenth strcet the bags of cement
We're made into dam two feet high.
The water soaked the cement and
formed an excellent dam. This kept
the water from reaching the subway
proper, and channels were run from
the dam to the various sewers in the
neighborhood so that the water could
be carried of. Only this piece of
strategical work is believed to have
saved the subway.
