SMOKE FROM NEARBY FIRE
ROUTS JUDGE FROM BENCH.

Charles Glover, who says he is 30
years old and barber without home,
was arraigned before Acting Judge
Oehring in the Second Precinct Court
today just about the time smoky fire
broke out across the street. After a
day of rest and a good Thanksgiving
dinner the judge was disposed to be
lenient with Glover. who had been
arrested on complaint of Conductor
John W. Harney, of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad.
The latter had fight with Clover
when he tried to ride from Hoboken
to Newark without a ticket
What have you to say?' asked
Judge Oehling of Clover, just as the
smoke commenced to pour in the WIN
dows
Nothing. you honor, except that
was under the influence Of and he
sputtered and choked.
well. 1 guess I'm under the influence
of smoke right now said the pudge,
so we will get busy right away. Ten
dollars fine, and if you ever bring an
other fire with smoke like this here II
will be life at hard labor"
And Judge Oehring adjourned court
in a hurry and started for some place
where the smoke was not.

FLAMES SWEEP
MILL FOR SECOND
TINE IN 4 WEEK
Fire Causes $1,000 Damage to
Building and Untold Injury
to Captain Brown.

For the second time this week, the
wooden mill and shoddy factory of
Basch & Greenfield, at the corner of
Seventh and Summer avenues, was on
fire today The first fire was last Tues
day. when drying-room on the first
floor was destroyed with a loss of s.. 600
Today the main drying and sorting
room on the second floor went up in a
blaze that caused $1,000 damage and
will put that part of the drying and
sorting department of the plant entire
ly out of business for week or, ten
days. The cause of both fires is laid
to overheated machinery in the drying
room.
Thirty employees working in the
building knew nothing of todays fire
until Plainclothesman Goodwin, of the
Second Precinct, who was standing in
the station house across Seventh ave-
nue. from the factory, discovered smoke
coming out of the second-story win
dows. He ran out of the station and
notified the employees, who came piling
out in hurry, most of them leaving
their street clothes behind them.
BY the time the fire department
reached the spot the smoke was so
dense that it was impossible to see
across the street but no flames were
visible The smoke made it hard for
the firemen to locate the blaze, but
once they did it was speedily got under
control with the damage stated above.
But that by no means covers the
damage entailed by the fire. Captain
captain of the Second precinct, figures
largely in the Toss list The none
tary damage isn't so much. even
though brand new uniform is in
volved, but the loss of dignity-thats
someting different. Here is what hap
pened:
When the fire broke out and the
smoke was piling thick and dense into
the street Captain Brown took his
stand in Seventh avenue to keep the
crowd out of the danger line. The
firemen tangled a length of hose around
him in their hurry and then turned on
the water The smoke lifted just in
time to show Captain Brown trying to
grope his way out of veritable water
fall. The hose on both sides of him
had burst as soon as the water was
turned on.
Wet? No, Captain Brown was not
wet. Neither was he mad. He just
said a few things under his breath
and went into the station to get dry
clothes

Nationalism In Music.

It is curious fact that no great na- honal music has ever been written among a people living under repub' lican form of government. The Swiss are, perhaps, the oldest example of a people living permanently under that regime, and there has never been a Swiss composer of any note or of even moderate ability. Against this 1t n2ay be urged that the American democ. racv $ unquestioDably sui generis; that nothing like it has ever existed before, and that for this reason, being in position 10 make precedent for ourselves we need not necessarily con- sider democracy per SC as inimical to musical development. On the con- trary. the very variety of the elements which are BOW forming the American nation would argue in favor of the possibility of the foundation Of na- tional school If music. which, fin unit ing the characteristics of many peo. ples. might in time develop into some thing broader and stronger. fresher more vital and more spontaneous than anything the world has hitherto seen Reginald de Koven in North Ameri can Review.
