foundation laid for a controversy un-
paralleled in history. Commander
Robert E. Peary is making uncertain
progress southwark off the coast Of
Labrador in his ship, Roosevelt, but
there came from him a message as
direct as his homeward journey has
been slow. 1t challenges the veracity
of DR.. Frederick A. Cook, of Brook
lyn. and further complicates a situa-
tion which the whole world is dis
cussing.
In effect Peary discredits Cooks
claims with the intimation that he
(Peary) and he alone planted the
American flag at the North Pole on
April 6, 1909, and that DR.. Cook,
who asserts that he unfurled the flag
at the Pole on April 81, 1908, must
substantiate his claim.

TWO PERISH in
TENEMENT FIRE
Several Leap from the Windows, and
Others Are Hurt by Falling from
Ladders-Number of VIC
TINS Burned

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Two persons
were killed and eleven seriously injured
in a fire which swept through three
story tenement at One Hundred and
Fiftieth street and Third avenue before
daylight today.
Fire Chief Croker stated that he be-
lieyed an incendiary had set the place
on fire and the police started an IN
vestigation.
When the first fireman reached the
building the flames were extending
from the basement into the upper halls
and it was some time before they
could get into the apartments on the
second and third floors.
Firemen who entered the third floor
by means of a ladder from the street
found the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
erick Dietz.
After being awakened they had ap-
uarently sought escape by the door,
and on opening it were overcome by
the smoke and flames and were quick
ly suffocated.
Several persons leaped from windows
and were injured. Others were injured
by falling from a fire escape in the
rear.
Three ambulances were called and
conveyed the injured to Bellevue hos
nital. where it was said none was NOR
tally hurt. A number of them sur
fered from severe burns.

TO DECREASE POLICE
IN CHINESE SECTION
Commissioners Likely Will Cut Down
the Number of Plain Clothes
Men in Chinatown
District

It is expected that November 1 the
police now doing duty in Chinatown
will be removed and others will be put
there in their stead.
Taxpayers have made so much COM
plaiht about ten plain clothes men ana
a sergeant in addition to the regular
patrolmen stationed there that 1t Is
believed the extra force will be re-
,duced to three or four.
1t is said by those acquainted with
the district where but few arrests have
been made in the last year and which
only comprises three or four blocks,
that with the other parts of the city
but slimly protected some of these
officers should be placed where they
may be able to do some good.
Gambling at fantan is one of the
diversions of the Chinese and the bet
ter class of Chinese would like to see
it abolished; yet with more than hfty
games running, it is claimed, in emma
town no arrests have been made re-
Gently.
Three years ago there were many
arrests when but two or three detec-
tives were detailed in that section and
but six games of fantan were in oper-
alton: now with many times more
games and ten plain clothes men and
a sergeant, no arrests are made.
The commissioners are investigating
the situation and are determined to
eoualize conditions, and If 1t is feasible
will not only change over the present
force in Chinatown but will reduce the
number of men there materially.

FEMALE lMPERS0NAT0R IS
BITTEN BY DEADLY VIPER
While Actor Was Feeding Snake, Rep
tile Stuck Fangs Into Finger
of Mans Hand

Ernest Young, leading man for Both
well Browne, the female impersonator
who is mystifying Los Angeles theater
audiences this week with his unique
Give snake dance of Cleopatra" was
bitten by a poisonous viper last night
lust before his first appearance, and
was so affected for a while that the
management feared it would be unable
to give any performance at all last
night.
MIR, Young was feeding the snake,
which is a valuable specimen imported
from Egypt especially by Boutwell,
Browne for the act which he is offering
this season. when it suddenly inserted
it's fangs an inch deep in the flesh of
the third finger of his right hand.
Almost instantly so intense was the
poison of the viper, the flesh swelled to
a supreme size, and only for the fact
that a physician was called immedi-
ately was the actor enabled to continue
his act.
Later he explained he was feeding
the snake, which is given a mouse
every three weeks, and that in its
eagerness to obtain it's food, for which
it really seemed hungry, the viper
reached farther than it ordinarily
would and struck Mr.. Young's finger.
Little did the audience think when
Mr.. Young was answering his cues and
responding with apparent gayety to
Brownies raillery he was suffering in
tense pain.
He did it. nevertheless, filled as his
finger and hand and arm were with the
viper's poison, and his audience never
knew that at that time the surgeons
did not know whether they would be
able to save his hand as now they
hope to do.

YOUNG BROKER
IS SENTENCED
APPLICATION FOR PROBATION
DENIED
SEVEN YEARS IMPOSED ON REAL
ESTATE MAN
Judge Declares offenses Were Delib-
crate and Not Induced by Neees-
sity, and Justice Demands
imprisonment

A. E. Warrington, the young real
estate broker who confessed to numer-
GUS forgeries and pleaded guilty to
two charges, was sentenced to seven
years in San Quentin pententiary by
Judge Willis Of the criminal court yes
terday after an application for pro
bationary sentence was denied. The
aggregate sentence that could have
been imposed on the two charges is
3 twenty eight years, and general opinion
expressed in the court room was that
the punishment was exceptionally
light.
Three other charges against Warm
ington were ordered off the calendar
on request of Deputy District Attor-
ney North.
Warmington's face, which heretofore
has been wreathed in a smile of con-
fidence when he appeared in court,
wore an anxious look when he entered
the criminal court yesterday. His at
torney. W. NJ. Palmer, speaking in be-
half of Warmington's application Tor
probation, told Judge Willis the young
broker was led to commit crime by the
fattery of e. Jones, the missing Paso
Robles banker. Warrington, he said,
believed Jones when the latter told
him he was too bright to be satlsheqi
with making money slowly and issued
forged mortgages thinking he would
not be found out and nobody would
lose by his transactions.
Many appeals by friends have been
made in Warmington's behalf to Judge
willis, who stated if the case was one
to be dealt with on personal grounds
he would be glad to accede to the re-
quest for his release.

But" continued the court, "the Of

Of the moment, because of necessity
or even by reason of intoxication,
which defense is so often made. They
were committed deliberately and "ften.
They were accidentally discoverec and
not by reason of Warmington's re-
pentance, and he even refused to give
any information to the officers until
the man he now says Influenced him
to commit crime had disappeared"
Judge Willis said several thousand
persons are engaged in the real estate
business in the county and word should
not go out that a man who has falsi-

 People.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund of
 New York secures a two weeks out Ing In the country for thousands of deserving tenement house children in the crowded districts. The needs of every child and home from which
 the children are sent are known to the missionaries, settlement workers and charitable visitors. The knowl- edge is not gathered from books but from personal observation and con tact. Only those who comply with the conditions of the high standard set by the Manager of the Fund are sent away. The children range in age from six to twelve years and half. Competent workers see that the children are as cles n as soap and water can make them. Every child passes a medical examination within
 24 hours of leaving the city. It is for these poor children in the midst of poverty and wretchedness during the heated spell in the congested city that the Manager of the Fund seeks to find homes and friends in the country who will receive these little children as their guests for a period of two weeks. The Rev Walter L. Hughes, who is canvassing for the work in this part of the state, vii be pleased to talk in private as well as ic public in the interests ol humanitarian work in the metro polls. Last year the Fund sent 9,541 children to the country for a fort night at an expense of S36,O0O.
