SCORES IN PANIC
At FIRE; ENGINE
FELLS AGED MAI
Families Flee Down Fire Escapes
as Heavy Truck Crushes
Pedestrian in Street.

Several families had TO flee down
fire-escapes for their lives when a fire
broke out at $3.50 o'clock this morning
in the four-story brick building at 4
Mulberry street. On the way to the
fire Engine Company No. 3 ran down
August Schmidt, a man of "A years, and
serious results are expected, due to his
extreme years.
Schmidt became confused as the
changing fire engines bore down on him
when he attempted to cross Ferry
street, at Prospect street. and before
the driver, George Needham, could
check up or swing his horses aside.
they knocked down the old man.
By swinging his team sharply then
Needham prevented the heavy appara-
tus from crushing the PROSTATE man,
who was bleeding and insensible. He
was carried into the bakery of Harry
Lowrey. near by, and later taken to his
home. He has a bad scalp wound and
is injured internally. and serious re-
suits are feared, due to his age.
The fire started IN the bake shop of
John Drummer on the ground floor. The
Drummer family, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Drummer and four children, were
in a sound sleep when Henry Philips,
a boy, employed II the BAKE shop, ran
through h Gus yelling fire. Mr.. and
Mrs. Martin Roemmele were also asleep
or the second floor. Their escape was
cut off by the flames. and in scant at
tire they made their way TO fire escapes
and got safely to the street.
On the third floor lived Mr.. and Mrs.
Adam Stolz, their daughter Lillian
and son Otto. They were also aroused
by the cries Of fire and made their way
to the second floor, only to be driven
back by clouds of smoke which poured
up from the ground floor. Mr.. Stoltz
led the members of lis family to the
fire-escape and all reached the ground
without misbap.
When the firemen got there it was
reported hat Mr.. and Mrs. McCor-
mick and two young children, who
were on the top floor. were missing.
They were located later. They had
made their way down to the second
floor, and with MI. Mccormick carry
ing one child and Mrs. Mccormick an
other had made their way"viA the fire
escapes to an adjoining building and
reached the street.
The damage by fire was not over $500

WOMAN'S SUIT FOR $4,000
THROWN OUT BY COURT,
Orders Jury to Return Verdict
Against SeamStreSS.

After counsel had summed up Judge
Helsley today directed the jury in
Miss Ellen T. Carlin's action for SIS, 900
damages against the Public Service
Railway Company. to return a verdict
in favor of the company on the ground
that the preponderance of evidence was
against the plaintiff.
Miss Carlin, a seamstress, lives in
76 Blocker street, and July % last, ac-
cording to her story, her right shoulder
blade was fractured in a fall from a
trolley in Washington street, caused
when the car started suddenly before
she had alighted from 1t.
The defendant company, through
Howard MacSherry. it's counsel. had
several witnesses OH hand who swore
that it was Miss Carlin's own fault
that she was hurt, as she did not wait
for the car to come to a full stop before
| she stepped off.
According to Miss Mary E. Brown, a
dressmaker. who lives in the same house
with the plaintiff, she had to remain In
her room for sixteen weeks. Although
Miss Brown nursed Miss Cariin for six
weeks, she said that she did not ask
for any pay, but admitted, in answer to
a question by Mr.. MacSherry. that if
her friend received a verdict she ex-
pected to receive something for her
services.

OFFICIALS DROP
FIRST REGIMENT
ACCOUNTS PROBE
Following Conference Held in
Gov. Forts Office Investigators
Decide Conditions Are Normal.

Following the recent conference in
Governor Forts office at, Trenton, it
was decided last night that the inves-
tigation into the alleged shortage of
funds of the First Regiment, National
Guard, shall be forthwith dropped. The
records in the office of QuartermaSter-
General c. Edward Murray, so far as
they refer to the Newark regiment,
were found to be regular and the
annual State appropriation of 81, 500
properly accounted for. There are other
Irregularities still existing, but the in
Investigators. headed by Colonel JOIN
ID. Fraser, have decided to discontinue
the inquiry.
The First Regiments investigating
committee consists of Colonel Fraser,
Lieutenant-Colone George NJ. SButtle
and Major Roland ID. Crocker. Short
ages, it is alleged, We're discovered in
various funds. and it was charged that
an aggregate of $4,000 in deficiencies
were u-naccounted for. Examination Of
the books in the quartermaster's office
showed that the moneys which were
forwarded to the Newark regiment were
all properly credited. Further pressing
by the committee had the effect of
bringing undiscovered books of the
regiment to the surface, and in their
examination many little supposed ir-
Irregularities were found to be regular.
Finding that the State money were
properly accounted for, Colonel
Fraser, it is understood, has notified
the Governor that there will be submit
ted a detailed report covering the sup
posed irregularities, and further inform
ing the executive that the "irregulari-
ties will be made regular" and that
there will be no need of any additional
probing.
Relative to the moneys paid by the
city during the last five years for rem
tai of the armory for police drills and
school children's exercises, it was ex-
planned, it was purely a regimental
matter, and it is understood that the
matter will be given a proper and sat
isfactory solution. An officer OF the
regiment this afternoon said to a STAR
reporter:
There will be no further inquiry
into the financial affairs of the First
Regiment. Everything is being ar
ranged TO the Satisfaction of all con
cerned, and while 1t may take a little
chipping in to balance the books, the
whole matter is now ended"
