FROM FIRE
BY HIS FIVE CENT
PACK OF TOBACCO
East Orange Police Sergeant in
a Blaze as He Rides
Through Nutley.

Sergeant Joseph Williams, of the
East Orange police department, owes
his life TO an ordinary package Of five
cent tobacco. and today is receiving
congratulations of his friends on his
narrow escape from being burned to
death.
The sergeant has al automobile
which he uses during his leisure hours.
He took a trip through Passaic county
yesterday, and on his way home last
night while passing through Nutley
he wondered as he whizzed along
Franklin avenue why the people he
met stared at him. He did not stop
to ask the reason. for after some re-
Election he concluded that he was ex-
ceeding the speed limit.
Accordingly he lowered the speed Of
the machine and was just beginning
to feel that this was a pretty good sort
of a life after all, when he was startled
by a sheet OF flame which darted up
from his right side. Williams almost
jumped out OF the car In his fright,
and in the meantime fire and smoke
we're streaming out Of his pocket.
He stopped the machine with one
hand. while he beat frantically with
the other in an effort to put out the
fire. He succeeded after a time. with
the assistance Of some passersby.
1t was found that a box of matches
In his pocket had ignited. A paper of
tobacco prevented the fire from reach
ing his body. and on the other side the
pocket was burned out. together with
nearly the whole side of his coat.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE re-
ported demand of President Nord
Alexis upon the French consulates for
the delivery Of the Haytian revolution
airy refugees that have sought shelter
therein is projecting a situation which
is almost certain to involve the United
States.
Although there are no refugees in the
American sonsular agencies, it is look,
ed upon as almost impossible to keep
them out if the present reign of terror
continues. Several times within the
past few weeks the agencies have been
cleared of refugees. AS soon as one
detachment is ushere1 out of the door
another nds its way in through the
window. If there is any general
scramble for protection the United
States would be in the same situation
as France and Germany.
The present disposition Of the State
Department is to allow the Haitians
TO work out their own salvations so
long as broad humanitarian consider
ations are observed. IL Is not believed
that any demand for refugees, how
ever. would be received complacently
So far the Haitian government has
been circumspect towards the United

MUST REPAIR
THE STREETS
Peoples Railway So Directed
Before the Eleventh Ward
Extension May be Used

Standing under the threat OF the
Street and Sewer Directors that they
would not permit him 10 run cars over
the Eleventh ward extension Of tic
Peoples Railway unless he gave as
surance that the most dangerous places
of a list Of streets prepared by the
directors needing repairs would re-
ceive immediate attention, General
Manager Richard Crook this morning
was obliged to assure the directors that
he would accede TO the request without
delay. The list was presented after
Mr.. Crook had announced that the eN-
tension would be reaiy to be placed
into service next Monday and his noyi
flcation that the directors could in
spect the extension Saturday. His
observation that all that remained ts
be done to complete the line was a
little "sandpapering" actuated the re-
mark by President Melvin that there
were not n few streets outside Of the
extension that needed 'sandpapering'
also.
Mr.. Crook was then given a list Of
the streets that required paving in ac-
cordance with the provision that the
company must pave two feet Of the
streets on either side Of its tracks. The
most dangerous streets. which the
directors demanded shall be repaired at
once. are West Second street, from Nos
119 to 1881, North Sixth street from
Orange to Tatnall. the turnout and
crossing at Second and King streets,
and King street between Tenth aud
Eleventh streets.
The other places are to be repaired
"as soon as the weather permits" The
directors will inspect the extension
Saturday and If the three points par
ticularly needing repairs are mended,
the company will be permitted to run
i's first cars over the extension or
nday
Mr.. Crook took occasion TO bring ona
of the company's own grievances be-
fore the board. the impossible condi-
tion of Thirteenth and Lombard
streets, and of Seventh and Walnut
streets during the winter. Surface
water floods thet racks at these points
and freezing in cold weather necessi-
tates the cessation Of car service. The
complaint was referred to the sewer
engineer.

FIGHTING TAFT
Say That He Hopes to Win
the Nomination by Means
Of Southern Delegates

By United Press Leased Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 17-some idea OF
the arguments Secretary Tafts hackers
will be compelled to meet when the actual
electioneering begins at Chicago, follow
ing the assembling Of delegates, is out
lined in the comments to-day of support
ers Of Governor Hughes upon the speech
delivered by the war secretary at Ply
mouth Church, Brooklyn, last night. There
Taft devoted himself to one Of the finest
eulogies Of the negro ever INDUCED in
here
It is this which called out the comments
of the Hughesites. Almost without excep-
ton Tafts speech is characterized as a
bid for votes Of the southern states in
the coming contest. the Hughes men say,
shows clearly Taft is depending on the
southern states to nominate him. The
comments upon Republican candidate
who thus seeks preference Of his party
with the support of a section it is con-
ceded will not give him a vote in the
electoral college are a little too harsh to
some within the limits Of the friendly
rivalry it is claimed governs the race
for the presidential nomination
Failure for Taft. II he concentrates his
efforts on getting all tne sOa...e.n s.s..--.
is predicted by the Hughes advocates
The attempt to name the Republican aom-
inee through the southern representation
has been tried before, they point out, and
failed.
That the Hughes men are not the only
ones who will fight Taft on the ground
of his attempt to dominate the conven-
ton through the southern states is shown
by tho attitude of Vice-President Fair
banks personal organ, the News A recent
sisue enumerates that in the congression-
al election of 1906. nine southern states
having 1872 delegates returned only 11G l2O
Republican votes against 518956 Demo-
cratir.
In Massachusetts, alone. it is then con-
trasted, 22s.563 Republican votes, or al
most twice the strength Of the nine SOUTH
ern states were cast -
