CALLED TO
0nENGH F0RDS Ri AzE
Gross Brothers
in Need Of
Help.
NO PROTECTION

The second disastrous blaze at
Fords within a few days occurred
this morning when a large stable
and Ice house and a beer house ad-
Joining were totally destroyed by a
blaze of mysterious origin. The
buildings belonged to William Gross
& Brother, and only the heroic ef-
forts of bucket brigade, together
with aid summoned from this city
and Metuchen, saved the adjoining
stores and houses. The loss is placed
at $4,000, about one-half covered by
insurance.
William Gross was talking to
Howard Valentine about $3.50 o'clock
when a man rushed up and told him
that his stable, containing twelve
horses, was in flames. The neigh
borhood- was hurriedly aroused and
telephone calls were sent to the near
by factories for their bucket bri-
gades.
The flames started in the north
end of the building and quickly
spread to the beer house adjoining.
Appeals to Mctuchen and Perth
Amboy brought the Washingtons
and Eagles from Metuchen, and the
Lincolns' hose wagon and steamer
and the Eagles hose and chemical
wagon from Perth Amboy. Permis-
sion being given by Mayor Bollsch-
weller, an alarm was sounded from
box 81, at Smith and State streets,
by First Assistant Chief George T.
Larson of the fire department.
When it was seen that the stable,
which also contained a quantity of
Ice and salt hay, and the beer house
were doomed, the flremen concen-
trated their energies upon the ad-
Joining structures. The Metuchen-
ties hand engine, 1.-THE White
Ghost" and the Lincolns steamer
soon pumped the nearby cisterns
dry, and then they pumped water
from the cellar.
The horses were all taken out un-
scathed. The stable, 150x20 feet,
and the beer house, 40x24 feet, were
burned to the ground.
Not 100 feet away stood the store
owned by William and Aaron Gross,
20 the Gross residence, another
nouse occupied by foreigners and a
store
Several times the residence OF Mr..
Gross caught fire but those on watch,
pxtinguished it before any damage
was done. This was the only one of
the adjacent buildings ignited by the
sparks.
The flames and smoke could be
seen for several miles and a large
crowd from the vicinity watched the
hremen at work. First Assistant
Larson, of this city, was in charge of
the local firemen, and Former Chiefs
Glenn and Mullen were valuable as
sistants.
Before going to the fire, Mr. Lar
son notified the McClellans to ans
wer all alarms, until the Lincolns
and Eagles returned.
William Gross told a NEWS re-
porter that he wished to thank the
mayor and officials of this city and
Metuchen for sending aid when 1t
was requested and also to extend
his sincere thanks to the firemen and
all others who assisted in extinguish-
Ing the blaze and saving the ad-
Joining buildings.
He supplied the fremen with re-
freshments and did all in his power
to show his Appreciation of their
aid.
Mr.. Gross said that he was puzzled
as to how the blaze was caused. He
thinks it was due either to an in
eendiary or to spontaneous combus-
ton.

LIBRARY FOR TAKOMA
SENATE VOTES FOR ACCEPT
ANCE OF CARNEGIE'S OFFER.

The Gallinger bill to authorize the Dis
trict Commissioners to accept a gift of
$4,000 from Andrew Carnegie for a
branch of the local Public Library at
Takoma Park was passed late yesterday
afternoon by the Senate. Senator Hey
burn, who objected to the consideration
of, the bill on a previous occasion. made
short speech against it. but interposed
no objection to its consideration. The bill
also authorizes the acceptance of site
for the proposed building. The site Is not
part of the Carnegie gift.
II have heretofore objected to the con-
sideration of this BILL said Mr.. Hepburn.
"for the reason that the offer on the part
of Mr. Carnegie to contribute $4,000 to-
ward the construction of this library Is
accompanied by condition that at least
So, 900 per year for an indefinite period
shall be provided as a maintenance fund.
81 desire that it shall be understood that
If the government is going to match PEN
MES with Mr. Carnegie it must be pre-
pared to make good. I am on principle
opposed to the government of the United
States accepting gifts of this kind. 1 be-
lieve that If we need a library 1t should
be built and the appropriation should be
made out of the general Treasury. and
stand ready to vote for that. but / am
opposed to accepting a contribution from
any one on condition that the government
shall forever maintain it at an expense of
not less than 5000 year.
I'VE are going to accept a burden here
of 5000 year. Putting 1t for fifty years
for that is not a very long time-by &C.
cepting this $4,000 as contribution to-
ward building library for the use Of the
people of the District of Columbia we
obligate ourselves to pay $4,000 for
maintaining it. That Is the condition
stated in the letter. I have seen it and
read it, and it is printed in the report of
the House committee on this subject.
with this statement I have no further
opposition to make, although / object to
such legislation
In reply Mr. Gallinger said: Il will sim
ply say that the senator might have eX-
tended the time to thousand years in
stead of fifty and made this a much
greater burden. 1t will cost the govern
ment of the United States 81, 800 and the
government of the District of Columbia
81, 500 a year. Takoma Park is thriving
community several miles from the center
of the great city of Washington. The cti-
zens have contributed very desirable
lot on which to erect this library, and they
are going to get the money precisely as
we got the money for our municipal
library in Washington. 1 trust sincerely
that there may be no very serious opposi-
ton to the passage of this bill"
The question was then put and the bill
was passed.
