FIREMAN HERO
 AT BIG BLAZE
Rescues Two of His Followers in
 $15O,0OO Fire at Worcester
(sDecia1 from United Press.)

Special from United Press.)
 Worcester, Mass, Sept. 22-Twice p1unging through a, wall of smoke and flame to rescue two of his followers from death, A. D. Robinson, a fireman, was the hero here early today of a $15o, ,o00 blaze which entirely destroyed the Worcester Auto Club rooms, con- sidered the finest of their sort in New England.
 The blaze occurred in the Chase block in the heart of the city's bus1- ness section and was so serious as to call for a general alarm. While the flames were at their worst Captain J. Newcomb of chemical company, en- tered the burning building and was almost immediately overcome. See ing his danger, Joe Wallace, a ire man of the same company, made an effort to rescue his officer and he too fell unconscious in the midst of the flames When the two men sank Robinson dashed into the swirl of fire and smoke and carried Newconb out to safety, returning at once to repeat his feat with Wallace. Both the res cued men were badly burned and were taken at once to a hospital. It IS possible that Neweonb may not sur vive. .
 For a time while the flames ragged it was feared that other buildings adJa- cent might be consumed. but hard work by the whole the city's fire force confined the blaze to the Auto Club Building

MANY CAUGHT IN
 TENDERLOIN RAID
Especial from United Press )


 New York. Sept 22.-It- required all of the available cell rooms in three big station houses and the crowding of two and three prisoners into a cell to accommodate the vic tins of a score of raids made in the Tenderloin last night and early to- day. Not in years have the police acted so rapidly with the result that the number of victims bagged was a record for the territory covered.
 All the raids were made on war rants issued on evidence secured by young police men who have been working in pIainclothes in disregard of the orders issued by Mayor Gay nor. Commissioner Baker sent them s'tipped'' that Acting Mayor Mitchels $ investigators were active in the white light district and they found no diff fieulty in getting into many illegal resorts and securing evidence.
 Most of the esta blishments raided were known as manicure parIors'' and the inmates were arraigned in new law they were remanded for examination by the health depart ment physicians.

MAYOR GAYNOR TO BE NOMINATED FOR
 GOVERNOR
Especial from United Press.)

New York, Sept. 22.-That Mayor William J. Gaynor will be nominated by the Democratic State. Conyentfoa il at Rochester next week as it's guber- material candidate and that the nom- nation will be bitterly contested by Hearst followers was the openly ex- pressed opinion by well informed Democrats here today. Gaynor is the personal. choice of Chairman of the State Committee Dix who left here today for Albany, and in his opinion Gaynor would win easily next November and would also carry with him into office the entire Democratic state ticket as well as getting a Dem ocratic. legislature
 Dix wants control of the legisla ture. It will re-apportfon the state under the new census and whichever party controls will have. a strong strategical advantage at future elec- tions. The legislature will also elect United States Senator to succeed Chauncey M. Depew.
 Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall does not want Gaynor nominat- ed for Governor But he has prom that if it is shown that Gaynor is the choice of majority of the up- state delegates TammanY will fall in behind him.
 Just what Hearst will do is the big problem among the Democrats today. In his newspaper today he bitterly
 
 cent letter to his sister in which Gay nor accuses the Hearst papers of printing ''1ies and islanders and also as being responsible for his attempt ed assassination. Gaynor's denial of the statement that he called Chris tian Endeavor societies fools is at tack and an affidavit is printed. Gay nor is accused of gross extravagance in city gOvernme ent and of being re- sponsible for a t'wide-open" town.
 If Roosevelt controls the state con- at nd ma a progressive ticket it is believed that Hearst might support the Republican ticket. If not, and Gaynor is the Democratic nominee, Hearst is e1- pected to put a complete state ticket in the field and do his best to defeat Gaynor..

SOLVING THE
 SERVANT PROBLEM.

No servants need apply at any one of fifty families living in Carthage, Missouri. These families, unable to get satisfactory cooks, have banded together and organized a co-opera- tive kitchen. This kitchen supplies each family with three good meals a .day at a cost much below wha such meals would cost if prepar ed in each individual kitchen, and the worry over the servant problem and the work of preparing meals is eli minated. All women will be inter ested in reading how this co-opera- tive kitchen is managed, what it costs and how it has worked out. One of the members of this unique organization tells all about it in the Woman's Home Companion for Oc- tOber.
