SEARCH FOR BRAVE
FIREMEN'S BODIES
AMONG THE RUINS
Bursting Hose Is Again RespOna
sible for Fatality in New
York.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-In the cold
dawn of this morning gangs of men in
the employ of the building department
started a search amid the ruins OF
the fiVe-story building at 43 and As
Worth street for the bodies of Firemen
Thomas r.. Eglinton, of Truck No. 10,
and William Mcconnell, of Engine No.
4. Both are believed to have been
burned in the collapse of the building
which followed the fire last night.
There is no hope that either Of the men
are alive, as had they survived the
collapse Of the building they would
have frozen TO death amid the ice
which covers the ruins. Eglinton cell
ebrated the first anniversary of his
wedding yesterday, and his wife is in
a seriou state. Twelve other firemen
were injured and are now In hospitals.
Rotten hose, which caused such
heavy loss of life at the recent Parker
building fire, is blamed for this second
tragedy. -Four lines burst last night
while the fire was at it's most critical
state, and before new nose could be
brought into use the flames had gained
a Roadway impossible TO check. Had
not the hose burst it is probable the
fire could have been gotten under con
troll before the building crumbled and
buried the firemen under it's ruins.
Mrs. Eglinton, whose husbands body
the mon are now searching for, is with
her sister at 1896 Eighteenth avenue,
Brooklyn. When told that her husband
had beer injured by falling from the
truck she sobbed Historically as she
exclaimed: "He is dead; he is dead,
and you are trying to keep the news
from me-
Then she tainted.

MAN BEFORE COURT
Is Resident of Vailsburg Section
and Chafed AT Losing
Time.
SHOCKED JUDGE HERR
BY USE OF "CUSS" WORDS
Blames Young Habitues of His
Place for Causing All the
Trouble.

A fake advertisement which request
ed girls DESTROYS of working in a fac
tory to apply at 9e9 South Orange ave-
nue.. Vailsburg section, was partly in
vestigated by Judge Herr III the Fourth
Precinct Police Court today and the
case will be continued on Friday. II
is said that some girls responded to the
I'd and visited the place, which is con-
Quoted by Arthur +. Norton, % years
old, the same night, which was one or
the coolest this winter. Norton said in
court today that the next morning at b
o'clock here were five others making
inquiries for the position.
Norton was requested to appear in
court today and explain what he knew
about the case. This was decided on
after Captain Vogel had received sew
eral letters which we're signed "A
friend of the poor working girls" The
letters told of the hardship the poor
girls suffered and stated that when
they entered and left the store a crowd
% youths laughed and jeered at them
and told them they were ''stung."
When Norton appeared in court he
was indignant, and openly told the of1-
Gals that his tigeA was worth money
to him.
81 can't loose any time around here
said he, for it is worth money to me.
The court placed Norton under a
severe examination, and turning to
Captain Vogel, asked:
captain, do syou var to make a
complaint against this man?'
Yes, 1 CUES 1 had better" an
swered the captain.
Norton said that he moved to the
South Orange place September l last
and had previously resided in Harrison.
He claimed that he knew nothing
whatever about the ad in the news
papers, but gave the names of eight
\ ouths whom he claimed were in the
store the night the girls answered the
advertisement.
II gave them hot chocolate" said
Norton, because it was so cold"
well, what would you call anything
like that?" asked the court.
"a d. mean trick" responded Nor
ton.
The court did not like the term and
directly after Norton denied that he
made use Of the word.

MEN FIGHT WOMEN
AS BLAZE STARTS
IN A TROLLEY GAR
Flash of Flame Causes Panic
Among Passengers-Dash
to Escape Follows.
JAM AT DOOR SERIOUS
UNTIL EXCITEMENT CEASED
Trouble Due to Burning of In
sulated Wires Running I'm
der the Seats.

Amid the excitement caused by a
sudden flash of flame in a crowded
South Orange avenue trolley car last
night, men fought women to escape to
the street. Blu for the coolness of sew
eraI male passengers, who kept their
wits. the jam at the rear door, which
followed the maddened rush for the
platform, would have caused serious
results, for in their frenzy to escape
the panic stricken men trampled upon
women equally frightened.
One stoutwoman was damned against
the door and would have Jared ill had
not a man standing among the crowd
upon the platform interposed his ouik
at The critical moment and swung her
out of harms way. Another wornan
wearing glasses and with a number Of
bundles in her arms, was thrown VIC
lently against a seat and was being car
ried off her feet, when she was picked
up by another man.
Fireman sat ON the Fire.
The blaze started on the right-hand
side of the car neal the front door, and
was not apparent until the junction OF
Springfield and South Orange
was reached, the car, Nc 1856, being
bound west at the time.
A fireman, evidently returning from
supper, the time being shortly after z
p. M. was the first to feel the heat of
the fame, as he sat directly above it,
and quietly requested other passengers
near him to arise. Hardly had he
turned up the seat than there followed
a flash of flame. The car was under
full power, mounting the incline at the
time, and then followed several sharp
reports and the smell of burning rub
Der.
Men Showed Cool Heads.
This filed the car with dense smoke,
and the mad scramble for the rear
platform and safety followed, Several
of the m passengers occupying
the seat opposite to thai from under
which he flame spurted were the first
to leap to their feet and run, but they
were thrown aside by the majority of
the men, who shouted loudly in alarm
as they also made for the door.
1t a due to some men, including the
fireman m nTEI discovered Lne DldZes
that the jam at the loo which fol-
lowed was not attended with serious
results for the women. for the men
fighting to reach the platform cared
not for whom they came in contact
with in their dash for the door.
Through these cool nes the panic
was averted almost as speedily a it
started, and when the terror-stricken
were finally assured Thai there was no
danger the majority returned to the
car interior. The women, however,
kept close to the door and when the
car started and there followed another
flash of flame a second panic would
have occurred had not the conductor,
fireman and several electricians who
were among those who quelled the
first, assured all there was no danger.
The trouble was due to the insula-
ton burning from a point where the
wires met and the car had to be
pushed by another TO the South Orange
avenue barns.

Junior Counsel Plan for Slayer's
Liberty Through Habeas
Corpus Proceedings.

MATTEAWAN, N. Y, Feb. 5.-In ac-
cordance with his W orders, Daniel
O'Iseilly and A. Russell Peabody today
began their fight to have Harry Kendall
Thaw, the young millionaire slayer of
Stanford White, removed from the State
Asylum for Criminal Insane.
"A writ of habeas corpus will be
sought at once to get Harry out of
Matteawan," said Mr.. O'Reilly today.
Mr.. Peabody and I will seek the writ.
There is a possibility that action will be
delayed one day, but you will be safe
in saying steps are to be taken at once
to procure our clients release"
News to LittIeton.
Mr.. Peabody gave his tacit ap-
prevail to what Mr.. O'Reilly said.
Until he was informed by reporters
Martin Littleton had not heard of the
contemplated action of Thaw's other
attorneys. They had not communi-
Gated with him on their return to the
city, Mr.. Littleton said.
"Since l have not been officially in
formed of what Mr.. O'Reilly and Mr..
Peabody are said to intend doing 1
cannot discuss it now" Thaw's senior
counsel said. MY position still is what
[ previously announced it to be-"
Mr.. O'Reilly declared today that Mr..
Littleton had not severed his onnec
ton with the case and that his status
was the same as it had been. Mr.. Pea
body is the attorney Of record in the
case.
Thaw Forces Issue.
Action to seek his release by writ OF
habeas corpus was forced OF The two
lawyers by Thaw at the interview at
Matteawan yesterday.
The attorneys were in favor of try
ing to obtain his transfer by the om
mission in lunacy to a private sanitar-
ium, but Thaw would not listen to this.
He insisted that they must proceed
by the most direct method to have him
released, and they finally promised to
return to New York and swear out a
writ OF habeas corpus at once.
Since MI. Littleton could not be
moved by family appeals from the
position he had taken, that Thaw
should remain in the asylum for a
period of observation, Mrs. William
Thaw is said to have determined to
ignore his advice and lay her sons
fate in the hands of the Junior counsel.
