. DOWNTOWN FIRE
FIRE ON COMMERCE STREET cAus.
 ED EXCITEMENT.
IL Started in . Barber shop and Its Origin is Unexplafned--But
 Small Damage Was Done.

Fire in the barber shop. IT Com merce Street, of which H. R. Hailibur- ton. negro. is proprietor. created con- siderable excitement at 10 o'clock last night. Because of rhe fact that the shop was in the downtown section of the city fears were entertained that serious condagration might result, and all of the fire companies except Highland Avenue answered the alarm, dashipg through the streets and at. tracting a large crowd to the locality The hlaze was insignificant and was extfnguished with babcocks.
 No explanation of how the fire orig mated could be obtained. When tha Madison Avenue company reached the scene. the shop was filled with a dense smoke which greatly impedsd the fire- men in locating the blaze Investisa- tion revealed the fact that the floor in the rear of the shop was in flames, small hole being burned through be- fore they could be extinguished. There was no one in the shop and 1t had been closed up an hour before the alarm was received.
 Captain Grifath met with a nishap in lighting the fire which occasioned him much discomfort The packing of one of the bahcocks had become loos- ened and when the captain was near 1t a stream of the acidulous liQuid shot up into his face, almost choking him. Together with the fumes of the smoke which filled the shop he was made to feel exceedingly bad for while. Ex- eept for an unpleasant taste In his mouth he recovered from the effect of the accident within a few minutes.

MORSE DENIES REPORT.
Didn't Pay $4,000 to Bank Of North
America for Dummy" Notes.

New York Oct. 1.-CharleS w. Morse
paid into the National Bank of North
America $24O00O to take up dummy
notes which Charles A. Hanna, the re-
ceiver. found among the banks as
sets. Mr.. Morse said that the notes
which he took up We're all made by re-
putcble business men, who received
the money from the bank on the notes
and had the use of it.
Had Mr. Hanna waited" said Mr..
Morse, land collected the notes from
the original makers, he would probably
have realized more on them than he
did from me. l simply paid the notes
to help the makers, who were all
friends of Inire. and to help the receiv-
er in his efforts to collect sufficient
money to pay off the banks depositors.
There was never Il dummy" loan in
the National Bank of North America
while l was connected with it,"
Referring to the management of the
banks affairs by the receiver. Mr.
Morse said that Mr.. Hanna's incum-
bency was doubtless more pleasing to
the Clearing House authorities than it
was to the shareholders of the bank.
Mr.. Morse believes that the receiver
ship has been a costly one and Mr.. Han
ma has not made public his figures.
