CLIFF HOTEL, NEWPORT, BURNS
Cottages OF summer SOJourners Have
Narrow Escape.

NEWPORT, r. l., June s.-Fire early this
morning destroyed the New Cliff Hotel on
Cliff avenue. Newports only summer
hostelry. The loss will reach $3.50 900
about fourth of which is covered by
insurance.
The fire was apparently Caused by de-
fective insulation Of an electric light wire
outside the building, which swung against
the building in the wind. Although the
hotel had been nominally opened for the
last three days there we're no guests as
yet. and the house was occupied only by
the manager, John " Jordan, with his wife
and son. All three escaped easily, but the
son went back into the burning building
after the hotel books and was seriously in
jured.
The hotel was a wooden structure with
an extension running nearly 800 yards to
the cliffs. The entire building had been
remodelled during the winter. Sparks from
the burning hotel were carried across the
roofs Of nearby villas belonging TO James
John Potter and William Astor Chanler.
and these were saved only through careful
work by the Are department. Six co ttages
connected with the hotel were burned.
The hotel, which was built thrty-five years
ago, was owned by the Shipley estate Of

Harvard student and son of Justice Hough-
ton Of the Appellate Division OF the Supreme
Court of New York, has filed suit against
Bernard Poco) Bennett. the Harvard money
lender, for alleged false arrest and mali
cious prosecution.
Houghton was arrested last Friday In
connection with suit which had been fled

October for $4,000. Bennett swore out an
affidavit declaring that Houghton was
about to leave the State. Houghton had
hearing before Judge Murray In the
municipal court and was released without
bonds.
Houghton's releas, without personal
surety was most unusual. the custom being
to compel the defendant to furnish security
to the full amount Of the sum named in the
suit. At the time of the hearing Judge
Murray, when he released Bennett. de-
clared that he did not intend to have the
court used as means Of persecution.
Immediately after his releass Houghton's
attorney prepared suit for false arrest and
the papers were filed to-day Bennett did
not take any action in regard to the ooleo-
