FIGHTING A STUBBORN FIRE
FLAMES DISCOVERED UNDER A
NORTH RIVER PIER.
Men, Lowered to the Water, Work
in Ten-Minute Relays. Submerg-

Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November 27.-When
Deputy Battalion Chief Duffey responded
to an alarm sent in from the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad pier number on the
North river this morning he was con-
fronted by very puzzling state of affairs
for a heavy cloud Of smoke was rolling
up from the water under the forward end
of the pier. but there were no signs any
where of flames or of the burning ma
terial.
A man was lowered over the river end
of the pier by rope He discovered that
the wooden foundations were afire a few
feet above the water. The only way OF
reaching the flames here was by digging
hole through the cement flooring and
lowering men through the aperture. and
this method was pursued.
Dozens of men were suspended by ropes
to the lowest string pieces of the pier and
hose MOBILES passed down to them. In
this way the fire was fought. AS the tide
rose the men were submerged to their
waists in the water.
They worked in ten-minute relays. and
several were exhausted when relieved
Their efforts resulted in combining the
flames to the end of the pier, in which
was piled cargo valued at $3.50. 900
Chief Duffey stated that it was one OF
the most stubborn fires he had met with
in years. The tide helped some, for the
fire was at the surface of the water and
every inch of the rise counted.

ENGLISH EXTRAvAGANCE.
Women of All Glasses Said to Spend
Too Much on Clothes.

london Correspondent OF Town and Country.
A dozen years ago the simplicity or
dress. not to say tastelessness, OF the
average Englishwoman was so marked
that she was held up before the women
of the whole world either a model or
unobtrusiveness or hideousness. One
served the same purpose as the other'
for underlying both was the fact that
Englishwomen expended less money on
dress than others.
The tradesman's wife could never by
any chance. escape detection. Her clothes
gave her away The shopgirl paid no
attention whatever to dress so long as
she was warmly clad in the winter and
had a white cotton dress or two In the
summer As for the factory girl. she was
completely satisfied If she had plenty or
feathers to stick in the front Of her great
hat.
What has happened in the meantime to
Englishwomen. They have developed a
tendency in dress which has made them
conspicuously eager for self-adornment
and increased their spending capacity
tenfold.
The woman of fashion no longer thinks
of dressing as she did formerly. The adj
vent of French dressmakers was stimuli
taneous with the new inclinations.
Fashionable dressmakers used to starve
in London. Now they become million
aires l could name a dozen or more
which are now the vogue merely because
Englishwomen insist on spending un-
wonted sums on their clothes. The shop
girl, too, no longer looks like trump.
but dresses, IL not SO elegantly, far beyond
her limited means.

AFIRE IN SEVEN PLACES.
Exciting Experience on the Relief
in Recent Typhoon.

Secretary Metcalf of the Navy today
received cablegram from Rear Admiral
Sperry. giving account of the storm
met by the hospital ship Relief and the
damage done to that vessel The Relief
OF the afternoon of the 18th got in the
track of typhoon while on its way from
Manila to the Island of Guam and was
unable to run away from It. Heavy seas
passed over center of the boat and the
barometer registered the almost unprece-
denied condition indicated by 3 10. While
disabled. the Relief rolled heavily in the
trough of the sea and the deckhouse and
doors on both sides of the vessel were
stove In. Water four feet deep was
found In the forehold.
Seven fires were started at one time
aboard the ship as the result of short cir
cults on the electric wires and it was
necessary to shut down the dynamos
The electric lights were put out and other
lights could not be made to burn in the
engine room on account of the spray and
darkness. The racing of the propeller,
which was out of the water much of the
time. was uncomfortable. Both the low
pressure and one intermediate pressure
eccentric straps were broken and there
were no spare parts with which to re-
place them. The crank pins became loose
Other damages were temporarily repair
ed IN three days so that the Relief was
able to return to Manila under her own
steam. There were no casualties to the
personnel of the vessel. Admiral Sperry
has ordered a board to make a complete
investiga ton.

Members of Oregon Legislature,

HOT SPRINGS. Va, November 81
Senator Fulton is here to talk with Mr..
Taft about the situation which con-
fronts Fulton in his home state. AL
though republican legislature has
been elected, a majority of the members
stand pledged under the primaries to
vote for Chamberlain. a democrat. Full

democrat can consistently switch 70
Fulton.
PORTLAND, Ore, November 1.-THE
news that United States Senator Full
ton is seeking the intervention of Mr..
Taft and National Chairman Hitchcock
in the Oregon senatorial situation 10
received here with great interest.
The Legislature elected in June last
is almost unanimously republican. OF
the ninety Legislators, fifty-one volun-
tarily signed pledge to elect as United
States senator the popular cnolce. Also
at the June election Gov. George r.
Chamberlain. a democrat, was nominate
ed for United States senator by the
people. The nomination of a democrat
in a, state which is republican by $4,000
majority is generally attributed to iac-
tonal strife between the Fulton and
anti Fulton republicans. Defeated in
the republican primaries last April by
Judge Henry Nj. Cake, 1t was charged
in the most emphatic language at the
meeting Of the Union Republican
League, the most important republican
club in this state. by the anti-t'uiton
people that the members of the Fulton
faction threw their votes at the June
election to Gov. Chamber ain and thereby
caused the defeat of Judge Cake.

DEER TAKING.
Only Two Estates in England Where
the Sport Is Followed.

From the New York SUM-
Parts Of certain great parks in England
such as Fridge Park. the oldest deer park
in the kingdom are kept practically wild
in their original forest state, while near
to the castle is the cultivated home park.
Fridge Park contains 5000 acres and is
the only estate in England. with one ex-
ception, where deer taking with hounds
is still carried on. The other place is
WOburn, the Duke of Bedfords seat
The Marquis of Abergavenny is the
owner of Fridge Park, but it once formed
part of the royal chase. 1t still retains
the wild beauty 1t then had, although
there are more than seventy miles of
lovely drives in 1t, not counting those of
the home park.
Deer taking is entirely different from
deer hunting. The object As to take the
animals alive so that they may be trans
ferred to the home park to be fattened
and eventually turned into venison
The sport is by no means as tame as 1t
sounds. A seven to nine year old red
deer is an awkward customer to tackle.
He is powerful. agile and well armed with
antlerS and hOOfS.
When there Is to be deer taking at
Fridge Park the meet is planned for IL
o'clock at the parkkeepers house. The
under keepers. with fresh hounds, are
scattered through the park to head Off
the stag should he come their way A
field follows on horseback and on foot.
When a likely stag has been found and
cut out from the rest he starts off with a
hound after him. Apparently the only
way he can be captured is to continue
the chase until he Is utterly exhausted
one hound after another taking a turn
at the pursuit.
Before the end comes the stag may
swim across lake several times. taking
to it to escape his pursuers. Finally a
rope is thrown over his antlers, other
ropes are secured to him and several
keepers lead or drag him to the home
park, where he 10 turned loose.

MILITARY ROAD CLUBS RA|DED
SOLDIERS ROUND UP DRUNKEN
COMRADES.
Army Post Officers Unite With Civil
Authorities in Crusade Against
Illegal Resorts.

| Civil authorities. assisted by the military
officers at Fort Myer. looked into certain
so-called clubs along the Military road
last night. A detail of soldiers raided
some of the places and corralled number
of drunken comrades.
Charges of violating the Byrd liquor
law. a result. will be presented for
consideration to the December grand
jury in Alexandria.
The civil and military authorities have
united in a crusade against objectionable
resorts of the character maintained in
violation of law.
Evidence against at least three proprie-
tors of clubs will be submitted. Probably
several more will be involved. Evidence
gathered is to be thoroughly sifted by
States Attorney Crandal Mackey.
Constable J. II. Collins began prelimi-
nary investigation early last evening. He
called at several clubs" and claims he
was served liquor. In others he says he
found evidence of the sale of intOXicants.
The places were crowded with drunken
soldiers, he reports.
In one place he found fully twenty
five women ranging in age from six
teen to forty years. During his visit to
the latter place Constable Collins declares
that upon declaring he was an officer OF
the law he was threatened with assault
by an artillery sergeant.
After this incident he concluded it
would be advisable to report the matter
to the prosecuting attorney of the county.
This he did, and immediate action was
decided upon.
Mr.. Mackey then asked the cooperation
of the officers of Fort Myer. a dis
mounted troop of the 18th Cavalry was
detailed to round up all soldiers found
in these clubs
In addition to MIR. Mackey, ConSta BILE
Collins and the troop of cavalry, the
raiding party included Col. Hatfield, Capt.
Proctor and Capt. Cassatt Of the army
post. Seventeen drunken soldiers. re-
puted members of the club. were rounded
up. They will be summoned before the
grand jury of the county.
Speaking of the resorts, Col. Hatfield
said:
These places are the abomination of
the post and lead to Il great amount of
drunkenness among men in the commands
here. / propose to do my utmost to assist
the civil authorities to break up the
places.
such places are not frequented by all
the men of this post--not by any means
but by an irresponsible few. The opinion
among the best element of the men is
that they should be stamped out. They
view the situation just as their officers do.
