Smoke and Saves Many
of the Tenants.

Twenty-onc families living In the
Rosemont apartment House, No. le6
West One Hundred and Twenty-seventh
street, were routed from their beds at
l o'clock this morning by terrific ex-
plosion, and when the cry OF Fire"
followed some of them took to the es-
capes, others ran down the stairs to the
street, and few waited for the els-
vator, which was kept funnins by AL
bert Christopher, an elevator boy, in
spite OF the fact that the house was
filled with smoke and the basement was
in flames.
The explosion. according to tenants T..
the house and 10 the janitor. Peter
Schwartz, was due entirely to the failure
OF the Consolidated Gas Company to
heed complaints made about Leaking
meters in the basement In this base
ment there are twenty-five meters.
schwartz says he complained some were
OUT or order and dangerous a month
ago. but no attention was paid TO him.
Inc gas company was busy taking out
other old meters and replacing them
with new ones. in accordance with tho
orders of the pub,Ic serv;c. Cor-,,.

were allowed TO remain.

Fifty-Nine Hounds Imported From
Europe Assessed at 20 Per Cent.

NEW YORK. December 1S-Peter F.
Collier. master of the Monmouth County
Hunt Club. Eatontown, N j.. must pay
duty on fifty-nine hounds which he i'm
ported on the Bowie from Liverpool. The
customs authorities had them for duties
and bond had to be given to release
the dogs. The collector assessed duties
at 20 per cent In his protest Mr.. Collier
wrote in part to the collector:
Il claim that these hounds are entitled
to free entry under paragraph 413 of the
tariff law. The pedigree certificates. which
we were unable to complete at this time.
owing to the difficulty in obtaining all the
particulars. are in the process of compile
ton. The assessment of duty is submit
ted to under compulson to obtain pos
session of the hounds. We claim that
the duty eXacted by You is not the legal
duty"
In reply to this the deputy collector
informed his chief that Mr.. Collier had
not taken the oath certifying to his citi-
zenship and had not produced the pedi-
grees OF the dogs. Acting on this in
formation. the board of United States
general appraisers overruled Mr.. Col
lier's protest and ordered enforcement of
the duties.
