TEN FIRES IN LESS
THAN IS HOURS
Department Kept on Jump and
Men Get Only Snatches
of Sleep.

Ten fires in less than thirty-six hours
Is the record for the first two lays of
August.
Today's record began with an alarm
from box AL, which came in at LIS
a. m. After that the hremen were given
hardly a moments respite till S o'clock
this morning. The night force of the
Salvage Corps has not experienced so
broken a night in weeks, and the men
are feeling the effects OF their strenu-
Gus times this morning.
The first alarm was found to be a
fire in the hay loft of the stables of
Hewes G. Phillips, at 20 Orange street.
A large number of horses and mules
that were in serious danger had been
safely taken out of the stables by the
time the firenen arrived. The damage
was found to be about 5000. Hardly
had the firemen gotten snugly into bed
before o 70 pulled them out. A small
fire in the cellar of L, W. Hour, at 81
South Eleventh street, caused by the
careless use of matches, was soon out
of commission, leaving $25 worth of
property destroyed, however. Exactly
forty-four minutes after this alarm an
other, from box 232 came in. This time
it was a slight fire in the dwelling of
Jacob Gold, on the third floor of 206
Belmont avenue. The cause was un-
known. The damage was about SIS.
When the f1remen arrived at their
houses from this last fire it was about
4 o'clock. At precisely ABA came the
fourth alarm of the morning, a $50
blaze in the cellar of 81 Paramount ave-
nue., a house in which Joseph Narun
lives.
A few minutes after IL o'clock came
another alarm from box 623. 1t proved
to be a small chimney fire.

struction Company has the Endorsement
ef the officers of our international or
s%anization. There are about twenty of
our. men in the firms employ and they
are unanimous in their response to
the order to quit.
THE order does not affect the work
on any other buildings than those
which are. being Quilt for the Pruden-
tiah II it should com to a general
cpen shop proposition, however, things
would be different. Our opposition to
the open shop has taken the form of a
positive national declaration.
THE statement of the bosses that the
time is opportune to declare an open
shop is not true. Business is In better
shape now than at any time since the
panic started and the trades are more
strongly organized. This is particular
~ true of the carpenters, one of whose
national organizers has been working
in this city for the last six weeks.
Through the work of this organizer,
Harry l.. Cook, we have had large ac-
oessions in membership and are in bet
ter all-around shape to tackle any
problem that may confront us as an
organization. 1t Is impossible for any
one to tell what will - the outcome Of
the present trained situation, but !
hope 1t will not be any general tie-up
for the building trade. l trust to the
GOOD sense OF both employers and nm

matter at issue to a speedy and salts

Mr.. Sands. one Of the committee Of
strikers. when seen at the council
chamber this morning, said:
We are not disappointed to think
that bosses have rot come to the meet
ing this ncrning. 1t is probable hat
I'VE vii ncar from them before long.
G"C}R. Uedden, OF the Hedden Con-

a Newark man. you can rest assured
that ! will do al IL my power to help
adjust he matter. II is unfortunate
that the sfTair has reached this crisis
"rhr difficulty has been Of long
Standing. About sin weeks g one
Nf the New York men came over. and
Ne told SIC men in charge about 1t.
Ec Spoke TO Mr.. ucdden. who told him
that II would be remedied. But in
stead OF getting better the affair got
worse. and new men were brought in
all the while. 1t got so that some
action had to be taken. and on last
Thursday We were compelled TO call our
men out. We bear no malice toward
the bosses, aad only wish to be recog-
nizcd. Our next meeting will be on
Wednesday morning, and maybe by
that time things Will be better"

THAW PLANS TO
CALL JEROME TO
AID HIS CASE
District-Attorney May Be Placed
on Stand to Explain His
Charge to Jury.

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, Aug. q
The third week of the Supreme Court
hearing on Harry X. Thaw's habeas
corpus proceedings to secure his re-
nal Insane opened today. Expectation
that the Matteawan prisoner or his
wife would take the stand again at
any minute packed the courtroom long
before 10 o'clock, when Justice Mills
opened the morning session. Thaw ap-
peared refreshed by his wv days rest.
Mr.. Morschauser, Thaw's lawyer, said
today it was more than likely that he
will call District-Attorney Jerome as
a witness and question him as to
whether or not he thinks Thaw suffered
from decisions in his beliefs regarding
Stanford White.
HeckIing for jerome.
Mr.. Jerome will be asked to explain
his utterances while summing UP be-
fore the jury which acquitted Thaw on
the ground of insanity at the time he
shot White, and it is possible the dis
trict-attorney may have quite as I'M
comfortable a heckling as he occasioned
Thaw.
Thaw's attorney has denied that any
divorce proceedings are contemplated
against Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. He said
the report that he intended bringing a
suit was u~nfounded, and that after the
hearing suitable arrangements will be
made with Evelyn Thaw for her sup
port.
The district attorney took up the
reading of testimony from the second
trial where he left off last Friday
afternoon, From the several bound
volumes of court minutes at his elbow
he selected that containing the evil
dence of Catherine O'Neif, a former
seamstress in the Thaw household at
Pittsburg. This related chiefly to
Thaw's acts during childhood, particu-
larly his fits of passion.
Mother Extremely Nervous.
Mr.. jerome explained that this was
the only means of getting such testi-
mony before the court and on the rec
ord. The story of Thaw's childhood
anu the illlluSllccS dllcCililS HIS DlI I'll,
as told by his mother, followed. Mrs.
William c.. Thaw, who a behind her
son, seemed about to lose control of
herself, Her face flushed and she used
the palm leaf fan to hide the twitching
of her lips. Her testimony tended TO
show that Thaw had been a victim of
extreme from birth.
After reading the testimony of many
other witnesses regarding the prison.
er's mental condition, Jerome turned to
that of Evelyn Thaw. He selected first
those portions referring to her nus
bands actions when she told him of
her treatment by White, and especially
his wild sobbing. He read also her
story of Thaw's alleged attempt to kill
himself with laudanum at a hotel in
Paris, and of the killing of White.
h sanity commission, Jerome's
reading of their report showed, tested
Thaw repeatedly about his declaration
that Whites murder was IAN act of
Providence" To them he explained
that he advised Attorney Delmas to
picture him as a tool of Providence"
principally because it was a popular
attitude. Thaw's assertion to the COM
mission, everything done in this ease
is under my authority" created a stir
in the court room in view of Justice
Mills's recent hints regarding "exag-
gerated ego"

Mrs. 0. II. P. Belmont
Tells of Girlhood Feat.
SHE PUMMELED A BAD BOY.
Also Knocked Him Down, and Hs,
Was Taken Home In Banged
Up Condition-Story Told
to Woman Suffragists.

New York, Nov. II. In q speech
here at the headquarters Of the Wo-
man Suffrage association Mrs. Olivea
H. P. Belmont, mother Of the Duchess
Of Marlborough and former wife q
William K. Vanderbilt, took the anti.
Guffragists to task for saying at tha
Hotel Waldorf meeting that women
had no business to vote because they
were physically the inferior Of men
and because so few Of them could
climb ladder with hod of bricks.
Mrs. Belmont told a remarkable sco-
ry from her own girlhood experiences
when she climbed tree to punch o
boy. She said
81 don't believe that there was a SIN.
gle boy among my playmates whd
could outclimb me or outrun me. One
time l and several other little giris
climbed ladder that had been placed
against tall apple tree in our favorite
glen. AS soon as we had stepped on
the top rung Of the ladder into the
branches Of the tree a boy named 10.
sic, who often had tried to get ahead
of me, took away the ladder and be-
gan to pelt us with green apples.
I'VE We're all furious, but we simply
kept out Of range as well as we could
for time and said nothing. Finally
I said, We'll, Pm not going to stand
this any longer
zone Of the other girls said: What
are you going to do? You can't get
down without the ladder
"'Can't II rejoined. We'll .see.'.

tightly as l could around the trunk of
that tree and slid to the ground. Per.
haps did tear my frock and get
scratch or two, but 1 was perfectly
able to attend to Josie. / rushed at
him with all my strength and knocked
him down. He was year or two
older than too.
''Then I pummeled him with all my
might and main, and it took two or
three nurses and governesses to tear
us apart He was taken home In
very banged up condition"
"But you don't believe in fighting
men, do you?" asked one Of the state
board of directors of the woman suf-
frage organization.
"Why should l want to fight menT'
replied Mrs Belmont. 1--WE don't need
to fight men. Men are perfectly VIII
ling to give us the vote just as soon as
we show them that we are ready to
use it. Some of us are ready now, but
we have to get the rest in line before
we can be victorious. 1t isn't going to
take us very long, either, if we stick
to the main issue and don't allow our
selves to be led off into bypaths."

Church Hurt by Slavery to Form, Says
University Head.

New York, Nov. II. - President
Faunce Of Brown university, who
was formerly a pastor in this city,
made a speech that stirred thea Bap-
lists at the congress of that chGl... IN
the Madison Avenue church last night
The topic under discussion was the
open communion.
"Baptists face a crisis" said the
speaker. "Unity is in the air and is
pressing ON us. What stands in our
way? Ritualism stands in our way Of
union. Baptists of today are not fol-
lowing after the practices Of the IA
theirs. They were independent. Many
of US are slaves to form.
1--WE condemn holy water, incense
and all other forms of liberalism as
idolatry. Our immersion belongs with
them, and when we cling to form we
are as idolatrous as the rest. Prac-
tically everybody outside our ranks
thinks we lay greater stress upon i'm
mersion, a form. Our services in mis-
sions and many other lines are for
gotten. We must disabuse these learn
