FURNACE
TO RESCUE HIS
BURNING COMRAOE
Brave Steamship Fireman Saves
F~elI0W-worker After Oil
Blasts Start.

NEW YORK, April 30.-Olaf Olsen is
dying and William Peters is in a criti-
cal condition in the United States Ma
rine Hospital at Stapleton, and the
steamboat Florida, of the Texas Oil
Company, left shooter Island today
without them. They were preparing to
get up steam for the trip to Tampa
late yesterday when the engineer
shouted a warning and turned on the
air blast to blow the great blue flames
of the oil furnace under the boilers.
Peters, a fireman, peered in and saw
a ragged pillar of flames staggering
and beating against the furnace walls.
He rushed in and dragged out the
blazing figure, his own clothing afire.
Deck-hands rolled them both in
blankets.
The first man was Olsen, who had
been starting fires in the rear of the
furnace and did not hear the warning
when the blast was turned on. All
his clothing was burned off and he was
unconscious. Peters was burned about
the body and head. They were hurried
to the Marine Hospital, six miles away.

gest passenger locomotives in the
Pennsylvania service. Entering auto
mobiles. the presidential party, which

the morning debating to stenographers.
He left Washington with full informa-
ton as to the operations of the new

G. 0. ?. ALDERMEN
IN HOT FIGHT OVER
CITY HALL PlUMS


sons advanced why such an arrange
ment would not be practical.
A man as superintendent. with his
wife as matron, seemed to be the ar
rangement desired, and with this in
view William C. Corey, Alderman
Charles w. Baum's candidate from the
Ninth ward, was selected and his wife
will succeed Mrs. Doetterl. The super
intendent receives $1,40O a year n the
matron 500.
Alderman Emil Wohitarth, of tine
Tniid ward. succeeded in landing his
candidate, Gottfried Joithe, for the
position OF chief City Hall engineer.
He will displace Gottfried Dries. who
has the office at present. The assis-
tant engineer was not decided upon,
several Likely, candidates being con-
sidered.
Another hot fight was occasioned
when the office of almshouse physician
was brought up for consideration, Dr.
Frederick w. Becker, the present ply
sician, is slated to go; just who hir sue
cessor is going to be is not by any
means assured. Last nights caucus
Endorsed DIR. John Hemsath, a New
Idea man, but DR.. Theodore Teimer,
Alderman Shapes candidate, will have
to lie reckoned with. 1t is more than
likely that the action of the committee
last night will be reconsidered and DR..
Teimer Endorsed to succeed DR.. Becker.
Edgar NJ. Breard, of the Fifteenth
ward, will succeed John H. Sullivan as
city sealer, if last nights program goes
through. He is. Alderman Shapes man
and was unanimously Endorsed for the
Office. James McRae was selected as
assistant sealer.
James A. Farley was reserved for an
other position that will be opened for
him later. He vas at first slated for
( an assistant sealer, but will be taken
care of in another direction.
In the matter of an assistant cashier
in the tax receivers Office it was de-
4 cided to let Tax Receiver Ross promote
one of the Republican clerks on his
staff to the position. Three other clerks
will have to go, however, as Milton ].
Wickware, Thomas Van SICKLE and
Fred Lutz were named to succeed three
Democrats in the tax receivers office,
1t was decided to allow the following
wards the appointment of n elevator
man for the City Hall: The Thirteenth
Fifteenth and Sixteenth. Three JAM
tors will also be appointed and n viii
be allotted to each of the Second, Tenth
and Thirteenth Wards.
The Sixteenth Ward also gets g
license inspector, a clerk in the build
ing department and a Centre Market
policeman.
There are a number of other minol
posts to be considered, and these will
be taken up at a joint caucus on Mon
day night.
1t is also said that several transfers
and changes will be made in the city
clerks office, but nothing definite hal
yet been decided upon.
Last nights caucus was late in get
ting started, owing to a meeting earlier
in the evening of the committee or
alterations and construction of build
ings, and it was long after midnight
when the steering committee ad'
journed.
All of the men Endorsed last nigh
will have to appear before the com
mittee and qualify for the position fol
which they are slated.

EX=LIEUTENANT HOAGE
WANTS
Retirement of First Regiment
Officer Illegal, He Says.

Douglass Herr. of Jersey City, APP
peared before Chief Justice William S.
Gummere, in the Supreme Court Cir
cult today. and asked for a writ Of
c~ertiorari to compel William j. Sadler,
jr., Advantageous of the New Jersey
National Guard, and Charles A. Callen
to show cause why Moses A. Hoage, jr.,
former second lieutenant of Company
NJ, First Regiment, should not have had
the right to a trial by court martial
instead of being retired by a division
board, as he was in July last.
The case grows out of a quarrel be-
tween Hoage and other officers in the
company, which resulted in Hoage be-
ing arrested on the military charge of
threatening an officer. He demanded a
court martial but instead was brought
before the division board and, after an
examination as to military fitness for
the position, was placed on the retired
list.
Callen was elected to the position of
second lieutenant to succeed Hoage.

WRECK Of MAINE
TO Be RAISED
Taft Favors Bill to Raise
Wrecked Battleship.
ATTITUDE OF HIGH IMPORT
viii Decide Question Whether Elk
ploslon Which Destroyed Ship
Came from Outside or In
side-ResuIt Not Feared.

Washington, Jan. 17.-President
Taft, it is authoritatively learned, is
in favor of raising the wreck Of the
American battleship Maine, which
rests at the bottom of the harbor Of
Havana, in a friendly republic.
This attitude of the president is Of
the highest and perhaps decisive i'm
portance toward the solution for all
time of the question which was per-
mitted to remain unsolyed during the
administration of President Mckinley
and his successor, President Roose-
the navy for some months prior to
the Spanish-American war.
Will Lend Support.
President Taft, in other words, will
lend his support to bill introduced
in congress for the raising of the
wreck and when it is raised all the
world will know whether the expio.
sion which destroyed the battleship
originated inside or outside of the
vessel.
President Taft evidently does not
fear the result.
There is no question that the cause
of the wreck of the Maine In Havana
harbor in 1898 has been discussed
not only at home but abroad from
two distinct viewpoints. The favor OF
President Taft toward legislation
looking to the design of bringing the
battered hulk once more to the light
of day, will no doubt make the pass,
age of the bill at this session of con,
gress an assured fact.
Magoon Wanted Harbor Cleared.
Some indication of the presidents
attitude might perhaps have been
drawn some months ago from the
views expressed by Gov. Magoon OF
Cuba. He unqualifiedly stood for the
clearing of the Havana harbor of the
wreck.
1t is extremely doubtful If it were
inadvisable to have such a statement
made public on such authority that
the president would have permitted
it.
Rear Admiral Sigsbee, who com
manded the warship on the night she
was blown up, is in favor of raising
the vessel.
Whether the famous old wreck will
see the light of day appears to de
pend in some measure on the secre
tary of the navy. to whom the ques
ton has been sent by congress for a
report. Secretary Meyer will not
however, oppose the president.
Representative Loud of Michigan
who has introduced a bill in congress
for the raising of the wreck. said
that there has been a lingering sus
picion for ten years or more in the
public mind that the battleship was
not destroyed by an exterior force, OF
in other words, by Spanish mine.

BOY LOSES RIGHT LEG
Accidental Discharge of Shot Gun
in Hands of a Companion.

An unfortunate accident occurred
near White City Sunday afternoon
about two o'clock in which Thomas
Bell, Jr, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thos.
Bell. of White City, was accidentally
shot by a companion and as result
1t was necessary to amputate the
right leg just below the knee. The
Bell boy in company with a companion,
Johnny Hilley, aged about II, were
rabbit hunting on the Geo. Scott farm
northeast of White City. Young
Bell, the smallest, aged 10, was in the
lead and Hilley was following with a
loaded gun. In some manner UNI
known, either by slipping or the dog
running against his leg the gun car
ried by Hilley was discharged, the
contents striking the Bell boy between
the knee and the ankle. Immediately
after accident the boy was taken to
White City and doctors from Oska.
loosa were summoned and assisted
the resident doctor of White City in
a.nputating the leg. Young Hilley is
grief stricken by the accident. Thos.
Bell, father of the boy, is having his
share of bad luck, as an older brother
of Thomas Jr. was recently crushed
in fall OF slate and is at present
just able to be about.
